I know a fella in my year that got 85% in the written paper

finality

A1 in English
A1 in German
A2 in maths
A2 in biology
B3 in physics
C2 in chemistry

that's 545ish I think, haven't got Irish or applied maths yet, I'll probably get a B in Irish so that'll maybe bring me up about 10 points. Not too bad for avoiding study til the night before. :L Not happy with physics, chemistry or maths at all though.

Yeah I'm the exact same with maths 89 ffs!.. Ah well thought I did crap in applied maths but ended up with 96! You'd be surprised at that marking scheme I tell ye :P Oh and how the f*ck did you get an A1 in English studying the night before?? Tell me your ways!

88 here. It's so frustrating that if I had just remembered to multiply by the conjugate at the end of one complex numbers question I would've gotten 90. Grr.

ok I'll admit I lied, I studied 2 nights before for English. :L
Did nothing for paper 1, thought of a short story idea the morning before the exam and went with it haha. For the poets I went back and condensed the essay I'd done on them into about an A4 page for each poet, I wrote down about 4 themes I'd be writing about and then listed the poems, with quotes and reminders relating to each theme.
For the comparative, literary genre, I read back over the essay I wrote on it and shortened it to SDSDSFNCM - social realism, dialogue, symbolism, dance, stage directions, flashback, narration, camera angles and music. Just learnt the 9 letters and then fleshed it out in the exam.
For Hamlet I just wrote out some points on post it's and tried to list everything I could on the characters - focused on the character question.
It's all about doing the bare minimum with me, to be fair I expected to get a B. I hate English, I think it would actually kill me if I had to study it after June.

Got 70% with fairly minimal study tbh i.e the night before! The person correcting my paper seemed to be slightly stingy in the pros and filiocht sections though! Took two marks off me in each and even my Irish teacher said they were full mark answers :L oh well :rolleyes:

Sean.

B1 - Engineering
B2 - DCG
B2 - English
B3 - French
B3 - Irish
E1 - Physics

All higher. Maths not returned yet but I'm expecting somewhere between 45 and 60 (didn't finish P2). Results don't include projects, practical work or oral exams. All in all I'm pretty happy, the results aren't "ooh-la-la" brilliant but I have plenty of room to bump a few grades up between now and June!

Got a B1, was delirah My teacher graded our essays very strict though, because she hinted what was coming up, but I still did well in it. I think the tape brought me down though, can't understand the Donegal dialect at all :rolleyes:

You must have gotten the same physics paper as me. It was the worst test I've ever done.Dreading the results

Namlub

A1 in Biology
A2 in French
A2 in English
B1 in Business (2% away from an A, bawling)
B2 in Maths
B3 in Irish
Didn't get history back yet, but it's going to be disastrous

Irish is dragging my points down, stupid oral...

Canard

Holy crap well done Namlub :eek:

Starting to feel inadequate reading this thread and I havent even done half my mocks...better get studying

Eathrin

A1 Maths(+25)
A2 Accounting
A2 Business
A2 Irish
B1 English
B3 French
C1 Physics

So 555 total, okay considering I didn't open a book that's good and all but still really disappointed with how Physics went, it'd usually be one of my best, though I knew how badly I had done after the exam.
Didn't do Applied maths mock.

I've got a feeling that I'm going to work much harder this term and get the results that really show what I'm made of.

I'm just so dedicated to my studies >_>
Erra I wouldn't pay much attention to other people's results for the pres because there's bound to be a variation in the standard of marking

Both that and my epic laziness:pac:

Funny thing is, look at my grades, for what I want to do, I don't need any higher. I think doing the best I can will mean a lot to me and the motivation behind it will come from the thought of regret if I don't.
Hey, 3 months, I can do this, it'll be over in a flash;)

I agree. I've decided that I'm going to not believe Cian as it is simply impossible to get 555 with no study.

I also decided not to post my results up here, the shame of it
