I'm probably very wrong about this, but isn't it impossible to get 595, as somebody has increased their points to?

If you got 5 A1s and a B3 in honours maths and were applying to UL using their bonus points for maths you would get 500 and 75+20 (bonus) = 595

I'm sure there are other combinations as well, but it is possible but only for UL

415 is 110 above the national average. There aren't enough entries in the survey yet to get an accurate national mean.

You had twice the average increase though. Well done.

Thanks dude.

I'd be lying if I said I achieved this through hard work and effort. Did late night cramming for all of the tests and it paid off. My advice would be : You can doss in class if you do the homework.

Wonderstruck · 17-08-2011 5:26pm

I got exactly the same results in the mocks and the Leaving actually! 450! :P
My grades flew about the place, but I got the same number in the end!

I thought it would go up as I was 2% of the higher grade in the mock in English (or something really minor like that, my memory isn't that perfect), but I ended up with the same grade. *le sigh*

I'd be a little skeptical of the two Anon's towards the end who both got 600 in both the mocks and the LC.

Also, the two Graces in a row look like an error by the user, which they then re-entered.

I'll have a look at the entries and remove any invalid ones. Thanks for the report.

I've had a look at the two Anon entries. There's no real reason to suggest that either of them are invalid but I do doubt the possibility of two of the very rare 600 pointers being boards members who just so happen to have also gotten 600 in their mocks. Just to be safe, i've removed one of the entries and left the other.

I've also fixed the double entry.
