My english teacher told me I'd never amount to more than a 'C' in english. Got an 'A1'. SPIT IN HER FACE.
Ecstatic.
Needed 560. Got 560.
Topsyturvy & unexpected breakdown though.
English A1
Irish B1 ( )
Maths C1
French A1
Business A1
Economics A2
Biology B1

Law&French, hopefully, here I come.

i had a teacher like that. i had a weeks holiday at the start of september sixth yr (only time we could take it) and she was like if you go on this holiday you are going to fail your english lc exam. then throughout the year she kept telling me you need to drop down to ordinary level, you are not good enough for higher level.

now i probably would have gotten a higher mark had i done ordinary but i was not dropping down because she told me i was crap and i would fail. so i got my D1 in higher english even with her telling me i was basically a waste of space. evil cow

well done you for showing your teacher where to stuff it

English (H) C2 .. Disappointed as i got a B1 in the mocks
Irish (O) B3
Maths (O) C1
History (H) C1
Geography (H) C3
German (H) B2
Biology (O) B1

Last years points for my course were 345... im after gettin 355. 10 points doesn't seem like too much leverage..They better not go up this year!!

EsteemedEntity

Got 550 . Exactly as estimated, so happy!
With HPAT at 189 that makes 739, quietly confident for Medicine in TCD.

Don't think I've ever been so disappointed in my life...

Was sure I was going to get around 520 and only came out with 475.

Had a shocker of a result, got a C3 in Geography! Can't believe it thought I got a B1. That just brought me down. Also didn't get an A1 in Irish (Another shocker!)

I'm so upset.. I know people will say that its brilliant but I'm genuinely devastated. How can I re-check?

Corruptedmorals

You can view your scripts (with the teacher in question if you want- school will contact them for you) and then you can tick which subjects you want to send for rechecking. You could be half a percent off the next grade or you could be 4% off, so you have to view first. It costs to actually appeal (about €20 per subject? Sorry can't remember) but viewing is free. I viewed of mine (one for the joy of getting an A1 in English) and sent away 3, one went up that was 2% off, the other two didn't- and one was half a percent off! So it can go either way. You are warned you can go down either though.

Well done to everyone. Don't forget you can appeal and you can do non-traditional entries into courses, like PLC's.

The Showstopper

Very happy 430 pts. A2 in business and C2 in accounting(which I've never being good at) were my best results. Disappointed with a C1 in HL geography though.

miss no stars

There are a lot of really fantastic results in this thread. Well done to everyone!!! If you're disappointed please don't despair, try and look at your results not in terms of the points they bring, but in terms of the result itself and remember, no matter how disappointed you are; no matter how unlikely you think it is that you'll get your course; it's not the end of the world. You have options and there's always another way in.

I'm a long time out of the LC thing, so I'd forgotten what the mindset and bubble is like. So long out that it surprised me to see people with fantastic results who were upset. You'll look back in a few years time and laugh, because by then you'll be free of the craziness and you'll be really able to see what great results you really have, and what an absurd system it is.

You all have a lot to be proud of so go out tonight with friends and celebrate your achievements but please be safe. You've great things right around the corner to look forward to.

I don't know if this applies in your case but I'll mention it just in case. There's a compensatory mechanism for someone who gets an E in Higher level where the matric requirement is not above an OD3. Don't know if this applies to Irish

Yes, taking into consideration that my teacher said that my project is of top standard. Perhaps I didn't do great, but I definitely expected better than C1.

Had that happen the year I did it. Everyone thought they were down, a few applied for rechecks. I didn't, but still got a letter a few weeks later with new and improved results. If the marks ARE very low for your whole class, they may automatically recheck the whole class. No harm viewing the paper

Meller

I got an A in History that I wasn't expecting, so I personally felt the marking was easy if anything- hadn't even looked over the Apprentice Boys!

I got enough points for my first choice, but I am absolutely DISGUSTED with myself about Art and English. I got B1s, but I really wanted As and stupidly assumed I'd get them. Lesson learned: just because you're good at a subject or find it easy *does not* mean you don't have to put in any effort. ARGH.

I think I'll be getting mine rechecked. Got a B2 but I thought I would definitely get an A.

guys just wanted to remind you (sorry mods if this is off topic), recheck your points if you haven't already!!

I just did and went up 5 points, was convinced after calculating them 3 times at the school but after the excitement had worn off, I realised I had misread one grade

Overall very happy with the results, 525 points. Will hopefully get my 1st choice now as it was 445 last year

Fireball07

I got 535, which I'm reasonably happy with.

English- A1 (Delighted! )
Irish- B1 (I really thought I'd get an A here...slightly disappointing tbh)
Maths- B3 (Fair enough)
French- B1 (Again thought I'd get an A, oral possibly brought me down)
Physics- C2 (Worst subject and didn't study much, fair enough)
History- A2 (I thought this was a bad paper, extremely happy with this!)
Accounting- A1 (Hardly anything balanced, out by almost 100,000 in one, very happy because I had been expecting an A1 and then was very disappointed)

Gumbi

All Higher Level:

Irish A1 (expected this, thankful I got it in the end)
English A2 (unexpected, might have been marked easily this year, very happy with it)
Engineering B1 (thought I'd scrape an A2, my day test and theory were superb, I had to get my act together after an atrocious project which involved no effort at all)
Maths and French B3 (Expected results, wanted maybe slightly higher in both but can't complain really)
Physics C1 (expected, would've liked a B, messed up on the day)

Oh, and a C2 in Construction. Explanation: An absolutely atrocious project. It was a royal disgrace. My day test was reasonable, but not great. I got my act together a bit for the theory and I'd say I did well in that. I thought it'd bring me up a bit, but obviously not.

Overall verdict: quite happy, considering the effort put in, would've liked 500 points, though, and the Cs are like blemishes I only need 300, and with UL bonus points, I've plenty.

2517ais

Got 515....happy enough, I'll definately get my course....a bit disppointed with some though:pac:

****ALL HIGHER*****

Irish B2 (:eek: I was honestly expecting a C)
English B1 (DELIGHTED because i ddnt answer the comparative or unseen on paper 2 !!!
Maths C1
Geograpy A2 Definately going to view this was sure of an A1
French B1 Thought I did better
Accounting A2 Would have liked an A1 but kind messed up on the day so deserved
Economics B1 Thought I did better...will be appealing
Japanese B3.....AHHH so happy:D!!

Anyone think that geography and economics were marked hard?? I got he highest in my school in both and no one was happy with them

business has very strange and changing marking scheme, you could have written perfect stuff but it wasnt what they were looking for this year.
i was actually quite surprised i got an A2 in it, i thought i had waffled everything
