Well, how did we all do in the Mocks??

sdiff

100% in maths

I also got a B3 in English and German... what are my chances of bringing these up to an A1? I don't think I have TOO much work to do in my other subjects and I'd love 6-7 A1's... B3 in the mock isn't very promising though..

So jelly. I got A1s in English and German and I'd gladly trade them in for 100% in maths.

brownstone

Got 92% in Accounting, 90% in Chemistry and 71% in English. Pretty disappointed with English. Have dropped from an A2. Did really bad in the Comparative and Composition, even though I found the actual questions pretty easy. I got the highest in my year which is kind of shocking... Hopefully thinks will improve for June. Waiting for the rest back...

I used to be so good at maths and love the subject. But I'm really struggling now and our teacher is hopeless. I would be one of the best in my class....Any advice?

All I can recommend in the case of a bad teacher is a lot of DIY. Get a set of leaving cert papers that include 2012 project maths sample papers. Do a full exam paper, get an idea where you're going wrong, study these areas rigorously. Do another exam paper, aware yourself of any tricks the examiner has. That's it really. If you're the best in your class then you have innate talent and that's the most important thing for maths.

Zomg Okay

Pure crap, to be honest. Which I'm happy with - really motivated me to take the finger out. :P

English - HL D1. Wrote a ton but because we don't often have big exams I wasn't aware of exactly how much I had a tendancy to ramble off-topic/without answering the question in front of me. Going to start working on essay writing with the question firmly in mind and being more descriptive in my short story. Apparently my short story was quite good and well written but I never once thought to describe the background, etc. :rolleyes:

French - OL C2. Quite happy with this. I realised I hadn't a hope in HL and dropped down literally days before the mocks. Had no real time to practise the OL paper and I'm confident I can push that up to a B1 by June.

Irish - OL D1. Might be able to push this up to a C2 or so if I put enough work into the prose and oral. Always been horrible at Irish though.

Maths - OL D3. 40% exactly. Hoping to get this up to ~60% by June but I'm useless at Maths. At the moment, it was enough for me that I passed.

History: HL D2. Disgusted with this. History is my strongest subject but I just can't write fast enough to get the marks. Hoping that if I practise a lot I'll be able to write a lot more come June.

HL Biology and Business. I haven't gotten these back yet but expecting around 70% in Business and maybe 50% in Biology.

Sorry for the longish post, I'm ordering my own thoughts on the results as much as anything else. :rolleyes:

brownstone

Thank you. I have them exam papers. Like according to her we've the course done, even though we haven't done sequences and series, induction or binomial... I'm trying to teach myself sequences and series as I'd like to have a choice in paper one...

The Radiator

English is Paper 2 only and Maths is just Paper 1

English - E (Didn't answer the prescribed poetry Q)
Maths OL - B1
Biology - E (Only did one half-arsed long question, full marks on experiment Q's)
French - E (Didn't write anything for the written part, got full marks on one comprehension)
Geography - D3 (Didn't answer the elective Q, but got 80/80 on the short Q's)

Pretty much what I was expecting, kinda starting to worry now. So hopefully, I'll begin my study soon

Still have to get Business, but I think that was my weakest exam
Didn't do the Irish or Physics exams

I'm doing Physics outside school, but out of 17 in the class in school only one person passed (44%), everyone else between 6-38

Canard

My friend was going to get his geography result off his teacher who's my English teacher so I couldnt resist, I asked my result too :P

I got 82 I'm soooooo happy with that, I want an A2/A1 in June but we hadnt even revised Hamlet yet and I'd never done a B part of a comprehension before but I still managed a B1

Wesc.

So far:

Maths - A1, 96%...not going to deny that I'm a bit disappointed considering I had so much time left and really ****ing pissed off that I calculated the correlation co-efficient slightly wrong.

Applied Maths - A1, 93%... GET IN!!! Soooooooo delighted with this result considering I did no study whatsoever and the exam paper was far harder than an actual leaving cert. paper

English - B2, 75%... Happy enough with the result especially since I got full marks in the Hamlet question and my awful short story somehow managed 73 marks :P But god I was not expecting to fail the comprehension, it's quite embarrasing tbh

Irish - B1, 83%... Bit disappointed because I really don't think I can write a better essay than what I did considering it was a sample essay I learned off from the institute :P The oral was marked really easy I thought!

Physics - 89%... Sound, no opinion really :P


And that's it for now waiting on french and geography and then I'll be able to count my points

Well I lost 1 mark in reading poetry for reading a little too quick. Lost 12 marks in sraith pictiuiri which I didn't mind because I really really couldn't be bothered studying them..christ the thought of it :P And I only lost like 10 marks in the general conversation so I ended up with 217/240 or 90.4%

For now I have a few back so will add some later

Maths(OL)-55%(C3) Haha our class did so bad not even funny :P Not counting for points and considered thought I scraped a pass happy
Irish oral-80% Happy enough for now :P I know where i slipped up so its grand..

Impossible LC

A1 Maths
A1 Economics
A1 Engineering
B3 Spanish
B3 Physics
D1 English

Hate languages, it always drags me down... Spanish, i got 84.x% in written, 72% for the overall
feel i am pure lucky to get these results... dont know why
especially physics, highest in the class was 76% n i got 74% n yet i never pay attention in class

Impossible LC

How accurate are the mock results, if you get an A or B in maths, would that mean you'll be getting the same grade again in the real thing?
Because some teachers in my school say our mock result + about 10% would be what you should get in the real thing
Is this true, and is it reliable?

Bears and Vodka

It all depends on how closely the Mock paper resembled the actual paper, if you did equally well in both and all that. There's no definite answer.

We were told the same though, so there must be some truth to that. Mainly because people study between the mocks and LC

Fireball07

It is possible to make a big improvement between the mocks and the real thing. It is also possible to drop down, depending on the toughness of the mock/real thing and how much work you do.

I did improve in every one of my subjects... I worked a small bit more, but the mocks are good preparation, they give you an idea of where to focus your efforts.

Really? You're happy? With that! No offence man but do you really think anyone will be impressed with a peasant 6 A1s? Anyone possessing the fundamentals of self-respect would not settle for anything less than 9. Pah, call yourself a leaving cert student, for shame...

You're on 430 with best 5. 505 with best 6 :rolleyes:
