    Am I the only one who has been made more relaxed by that article?

    I would suspect that the majority of the people on here are students who are going to get high points and it did say "record results" for higher level students. That sounds good to me.

    That's what I thought. They're saying people did bad in the sciences, just like they did last year, and the points for science at third level rose considerably last year, and probably will this year.
    Those who want to get their course will do well in the Leaving, so those statistics probably don't apply to most people on here :).

    the article did say
    "The percentage of students gaining an A, B or C at higher level is at its highest ever level (77 per cent) and up from 64 per cent in 1992. Some 43 per cent of students scored an A or B at higher level, up from 27 per cent in 1992."

    think positive people, u could fail one subject but do amazingly well in another u werent expecting to.....or have a beer as i am :P

    Beer :D no matter whats the problem, its the answer :)

    how are people feeling about history?? :confused:

    I was kinda pissed off after the exam but I've a feeling they'll mark it okay.


    (And that article certainly didn't mention anything about unusual failure rates or lower honours either). Only thing is I wanted an A... :(

    Does anyone elses family keep telling you that you're going to do great? It doesn't really help that just makes you feel even more pressure that you have to do well and if you don't it'll be like a let down.

    I always change the subject of conversation and don't acknowledge there comments, I know their our parents and we love them and they have our best interests at heart but I try my best to block it out

    I'm still hoping for the best. I can't remember much of what I wrote, wasn't so happy at the time but maybe it was good. I'm not going to worry about it anyway. Maybe I got an A.....nothing between a B3 and A2 would surprise me tbh. (If I get lower I'll be very very disappointed)
    yea i hope they marked it easy!! :(

    Hopefully...I think they might.
