Higher
Bio 68%
Chem 40% (marked atrociously)
English 62%
Irish 45%
Constr not back yet
DCG still have to do
Ordinary
Maths 85%
So I was horified when I got Chemistry back.Calculations & organic killed me along with examiner not awarding marks for right answers or only giving half the marks.
Biology I was okay with I didnt study much and made a lot of silly mistakes.
English I was delighted!!!I usually get 30% and now Im so hapy with no study I got 62% so I'll be putting more effort into english!I taught I was horrible at english,well so my teacher implied!!
Irish,yeah expected that...I need to improve on Aural and essays..hopefully my oral will help a lot.
I cant wait to get construction back!Im an A/B student and it was easy,but after the suprises and shock last few days,anything could happen!!To be honest,I studied more for xmas tests than I did the mocks.
Like other people,next 3 moths,going to make them count!!!
In the Leaving Cert aiming for:
Chem A1/A2
Bio A1/A2
English B3
Irish C1/B3
DCG B1
Construction A1/A2
Maths A1
I do another language outside of school, C1/B3 in that hopefully.0 -

English 75
Irish O 82
maths 87
french 84
biology 90
applied maths 80
physics A2
business 90
fairly happy with my results. emphasis on fairly though, because i know i barely scraped a loads of the grades ( 90's and an 80 )
hoping to pick up applied maths though, only got 15 out of 50 in relative velocity, may have to avoid that question in the real thing haha
ordinary irish was meh, was doing higher until january so that was a nice break during the mocks 0 -

. but yeah its by no means an amazing result or anything
Oh and fireball we haven't full finished our maths course yet and my paper 1 was in the Bs just fell down on paper 2 which we have only half covered
Oh, that's understandable then. We had enough done to do 6 questions in each paper, but I wish we had done probability and statistics at the time, because I find them very easy and I hate trigonometry. I don't know what to expect in maths at all.0 -

Well done, that's brilliant! Yeah, I did DEB
I think it went well. The end of the
waterquestion threw me off a bit, but I had extra questions anyway so that should be fine.
I'm still a bit confused what theYellow precipitateis. EitherIodine or sulfur?.
I apologse for discussing the paper... I did use spoilers :P0 -

Good you think you done well
I didn't think Examcraft was paticulary hard,just a combination of ridiculous marking & making silly,silly petty mistakes.That said, 5 chapters of Chem in the bag today I guess studying over and over is the only way to get what I want.
I'm not bad at Chem,I mean, I got 92% in the xmas exam which were mainly based on organic past exam questions..but oh deary me...I never want to feel that dissapointment again.One thing mocks are good for. That awful feeling you get when you didn't get what u wanted or deserved.I just want to do myself justice 0 -
Exam papers are your best friend in Chemistry :P And so is that orange
Essentials Unfolded revision book. It is THE best revision book for any subject I've ever seen.
But then again, the textbook is still essential. There are a couple tricky bits which could be the bomb calorimeter of this year and revision books usually just skim over those.
I love Chemistry to an embarrassing degree. :P Best subject evuurrr! :cool:0 -
We just finished the course.So exam papers all the way now.But ofcourse,I will still revise the material.I have Chemistry Exam Edge and Reivise Wise,both of which I find excellent,but I might add this little magic orange book to my collection. I have it for Biology actually.Somewhere :rolleyes: Our textbook sucks,I dont go near it. Use notes our teacher makes from Chemistry Live and other places.I used to not like chem. But I've grown to like it,not love :P but it is so very different and out there,which i like,a lot. 0

I still don't understand what I did wrong on the BOD question though. I got the conditions correct but the calculation was apparently wrong.0 -

But I am chuffed with my English result. I F'ed up on timing and ended up missing all of question b on paper 1 but still managed to get a C1
That's a bit harsh.....but at least in the real thing you'll have the project too which should bring you up.
I got one back today....Maths HL- C1 (67.5%)
Meh. Could have been better, I haven't looked over it properly but I seemed to have made a few silly mistakes and I certainly have the ability...but on reflection I didn't do too much study and struggled to get the paper finished on time and I thought it was difficult enough. Still couldn't say I was satisfied though.
Someone in my year got 100% in Paper 2 :eek: I don't know if the examiner was exaggerating, but she left a note saying she corrected around a thousand scripts and that was the only 100%.0 -

I was thinking to myself that it wasn't actually a precipitate and more a solution. :P At least I know now!
Got my paper back anyway. 88%, not too shabby Pretty pleased with that. I must be doing something right :P 0 -

I got the conditions correct but the calculation was apparently wrong.they were pure sly with that qst because the dilution factor was actually 5 not 4 as all my class thought it wasthey worded it pure bad...our teacher said that never in the real thing would they be so sly with something like that!! i really hope they dont anyways :P
