Predictions.

It depends how bad it is.

If it is illegible, yes, you will lose marks as no one will know what you have written. The correctors cannot give a mark if they cannot read the answer you have written.

Messy is annoying to correct, as there really is no excuse unless you have some physical difficulty. Bad handwriting (from anyone, doctors, workmen, anyone) for many people screams 'lazy and couldn't be bothered'.

It's something you could sort out with a small bit of effort.

I've been thinking a lot more about results lately, overthinking central. Latest worry is that my handwriting for English was so bad that the examiner will automatically hate me and do everything in his/her power to mark me down. I'm not sure if this is irrational or not. Regardless, sigh.

Look, regardless of how you did, the examiner's objective is to try and give you as many marks as possible for your work. So whatever you get will just be proof that you have gotten the best mark you could for the work you did.... try not to worry yourself until necessary, when you're gushing down the phone or into the shoulders of your parents.
I don't think I did well in English either, and it's my favourite subject, and a lot of people I've spoken to feel the same - you're not on your own on this one

Ah well I don't think mine was illegible per se, just...taking perhaps a bit more effort to read. Don't think paper one was too bad, paper two on the other hand...

Errr yeah my handwriting is fairly bad, it's not too bad when I slow down a bit, like for most of my other exams it was even neat, just English I ended up being fairly tight on time. Guess I'd rather do it messily and get it finished than do it like a scribe and not get it finished. Must work on combining the two for the big LC...Oh, and I thought doctors writing was purposely messy? I'd be a pro at writing prescriptions anyway...

Also, @SChique00, that actually made me feel loads better, English is the one thing that I've just always been good at and it's the one subject I desperately want an A in. I should stop thinking, August was a lovely result-free month without a care for any of this.

Tension starting to reach fever pitch now

History B

English C

Maths D (thought i failed pres ended up with 54 %, found actual jc easier so possible c but i doubt it)

Irish B

Geography C

Science D(If lucky, found extremely difficult)

French A( Could slip to b, got a in pres but it will be borderline)

Business C

Tech Graph D(please god,hated this subject with a passion, failed pres, hoping for nice corrector!)

C.S.P.E A

All higher level

I'm predicting a few surprises, just hoping I pass everthing.... Did little to no work all year, really regretting that now... But if I pass all, it should go down fine as long as I get the the bankers, cspe, french, history a or b in...

Chalk It Down!

Maths C
Irish D
Science C (Haven't a clue to be honest! Although i could see myself sneaking a
Geography B/A (Definitely my best chance at an A!)
History B
English C
Woodwork C
Technology C
CSPE B (Suprisingly people in my class struggled to get over a C in tests for it and I got A's but i didnt put much effort at all into the poster as my friends were done and i could see them outside the window....)
French C

Theyre all honours, besides CSPE, I hope i do better then these grades though.

About one in four people doing CSPE get an A.

Statistics to back up this claim?

Glowworm4

You can see the statistics for the 2010 Junior cert results here. 23% of people got an A in CSPE last year and 43% got Bs. All of the past statistics are available here aswell.

When I say this people disagree with me, but I believe it is best to keep your expectations low to fair, and then you can't be disappointed. Some people say think positively and positivity will flow from you, but this won't change the examiner's feelings towards your work, will it? If you do well, that's brilliant, but if you don't, remember it's just an exam and it doesn't determine your worth as a person. EG, I love English and it's (supposed to be) my best subject, but I really messed up the exam. That said, I know I put in 3 years worth of hard graft and I don't need a letter on a page to verify this (although it would be nice to get an A!).
Your grades look acheivable and here's hoping you get what you want best of luck to all - not long to go now!

Good Point! I don't want to get ahead of myself so im thinking of the lowest mark i got rather then the highest Hopefully this will lead to me being pleasantly suprised

3 A's, 6 B's, 1 C.

That's what popped into my head there.

I'm aiming for All Bs in the JC. Realistically I will probably get C from b.s and D from science. But tbh it wont be the end of world if i do bad at anything.

Now, now. I did almost like I expected . Only that I got a C not a D in Science, c, not a B in English(need to get it rechecked), and A instead of B in Technology(don't care about the subject).

Meh, I don't really care anymore :pac:

Maths- Think I did reasonably well but probably didn't do as good as I thought A/B B

Irish- B/A C

English- C/B B

Geography- B B

German- B-A not sure which is more probable A

History- B B

Art- C/B A

CSPE- A/B B

Science- B B

Business- B B

It's only a month away now :P

Everything right apart from Art where I got an A which was the biggest surprise ever and Irish where I got a C

I would get Irish re-checked but getting into a higher class in 5th year won't be a problem so I'm not going to bother :P
