flyaway.

Ah, damn. In my dream I forgot to go collect my results and I was running to school and JUST as I was reaching it, I woke up. That was like an hour ago and I'm still pissed off that it wasn't real and I have to wait two more days.

2 more sleeps...

2 sleeps?? More likely 1 sleep and a sleepless night..

And btw, do you count up your points on the spot when you're reading through the report card, or does it say it on the report card, or does the principal/vice principal tell you?

From what I've heard you just get your grades e.g A2 or B3 etc and on the other side of the sheet it lists the grades & their corresponding points e.g. A2= 90 points. Its up to you to add up the total though.

I downloaded a really cool free app from itunes called LC points calculator and I'm going to use that on the morning of the results. Would reccommend it if you have an iphone or ipod touch.

I'll have to make an Android one of those and publish it today just so I can make what should be a reasonably popular app

Don't waste your time, there's already an app for that.

Aiming for: 490+

I got 435 in the mocks, worked my arse off since then, but felt violently ill after sitting some (MATHS!!!) of the papers

You're like my twin! I got 435 in the pres, and I need 500+ to get any of my top three. I was really upset with a lot of papers in the real thing though.:(

I love English too, it's my best/favourite subject, but I freaked out during Paper 2 and didn't get it finished at all..that Boland question was a joke:mad:

Amen! Probably the one I'm most worried about. It and the HL Applied Maths that I ****ed up quite badly:p

Got 480 in the mocks and want 500. Not a CLUE how I did, worst case scenario I could get 400/410, best case would be 500/510.

Everyone's so nervous and I thought I would be but at this stage I've gone through all the emotions regarding them and don't know how to feel. Bored?

I just KNOW it's going to be an anti-climax after waiting for so long. :cool:

Had a dream where my school had locked me out of the building on results day,and was running madly around it trying to get in! Ended up climbing in through a window and just when I reached the office, I woke up....

I'm absolutely shattered today. Please please results hurry up, I want to get my nice normal sleep back

Is it called a calculator? :pac: In fairness, if you can't add your points in your head, how did you manage to do the LC?

Haha! Snap! I had a dream where my principal had my results and made me chase him round the running track to get them off him then he fell into a big dirty puddle and I couldnt see the grades.
My principal is the most sombre man alive. :pac:

Ahhhh.. I can't wait anymore. I dont mind personally what I get because points fo my course are low enough so I should get it and I like my second choice too. All I'm worried about is other peoples reactions to how I do.. If I don't do as well as I did in the mocks I will never hear the end of it I know. I got 580 which I nearly died when I got it. I'd be ecstatic if I even got close to that again!! But I will most likely get at least 50-100 points under that I feel.. Which is still awesome and I'd be happy with it bit everyone keeps saying to me how I'm gonna get 600 points . It's so annoying.. Cos there is no chance in hell!

Anyway, that's my rant done. Sorry not trying to show off or anything like that at all just sooo nervous for wednesday

Anyone else going out for a few drinks tomorrow night to calm the nerves ?

I've been kept relatively busy with sport and going out so I haven't really noticed time go slow. I suppose I'm just anxious at this stage. Anyone that asks how I did I'll just say that I got on grand and that I'm happy, even if I'm not. Nothing worse then having to put up with people enquiring about grades in certain subjects just to brag.

In fairness people will be really nervous, you don't want to make a little mistake and count up say 480 instead of 470, while aiming for primary teaching which is 475.

I did HL Maths, I'm planning on being a maths teacher and I can work with large numbers in my head, and I'm using the LC points calculator. No need for the diminishing comment.

What you think of it? What about tape?

I'm kinda bored, so I'll join the German discussion! I thought it was a nice exam. Comprehensions were much easier then usual I thought, grammar was a peach, and tape was very manageable! Hope to god I get an A on Wednesday!

I'm terrified there'll be a horrible marking scheme for it though, because I want an A1 and I found it almost too easy!

Hoping for a high B

That tape was truly beautiful.

That reminds me, when I heard my old year head on the Irish tape test this year! Everyone was looking at each other: *Is that feckin' X? It f&%king is 'n all!*. <---- That was all done just with eyes.

Agreed!! Grammar was amazing. Wasn't overally happy with the letter though, it was alright but just a few things I didn't like about it.

or a change in marking scheme, there's supposed to be a certain amount of grades roughly every yr right, the bellcurve?

Yup, each examiner has to follow the bellcurve. There's always a lot of rumours floating around but my friend told me that pass maths had to be re-corrected about 5 times as there were a high amount of As and a high amount of Ds with little in between... Forgot to ask where she heard this though. :pac:
