So, so far:
English - B1 - 85 points. happy of course but lost marks where i dont usually
French - A1 - 100 points. Delighted
Geography - B2 - 80 points. Barely below a B1 and marked way too hard. Gonna try get him to move it up to a B1, but the field study would do that anyway. :P
So, 265 with three subjects, not bad

Yeah the Irish for me was so hardly marked! I learnt off word for word 2 sample essays from the institute and luckily one on the enviroment came up, but apparently that sample essay is riddled with errors throughout it
I got a C in the essay! 0 -

Got 315, failed two tests.
Got 58 in Bio - only person who passed
Failed HL French and HL maths
Think I might drop french..
Distinction in LCVP
Then the rest I can't actually remember, but just an assortment of low grades.
Aiming for at least 480 in the real thing....... I can definitely do it but will the internet let me....
Oh **** I have to be writing an English essay right now, I'm much like Hamlet.0 -

So I got a B2 in Irish. Meh, I'd be very happy with that in the real thing. So that's 570... no use to me, applying to ucas and I need 5 As, the offer scares me a little bit, I really want to go to Edinburgh but... 5 As? So much pressure. 0

My Geography Teacher has told me that my project is definitely 95%+ material and that with it I could get an A2, she offered to do this for me (as she did with every other member of the class) but I told her i'd rather get a B1 in the Mocks instead of an A2 to keep me motivated!
I got a B3 in Music without the practical which is my strong point. I hope to pull this up to an A2 with serious revision for the Listening and Composing papers. Slightly dubious about this one though.
Have you any advice in regard to achieving A1's?
Not really no... I got 2 A1s in English and Accounting and really there's not much I can say about them. I guess in English I'd just advise you know your texts, know a few quotes and generally know what their about, same with the poems. I strongly discourage you from learning essays off by heart for anything unless that is how you always operate. I just knew what was going on and was able to answer on the day. Maybe I got lucky, maybe I didn't... I've always been fairly confident of my English ability.
And accounting is just one of those subjects that if you're good at it, you'll get an A1. And I was good at it, it didn't require much work and we were finished the course at Christmas so we had loads of time to go back over it.
I was disappointed only to get B1s in Irish and French as they are subjects that it is possible to get an A in. The oral caught me for both of them, so I'd advise you to really work for your oral. The stuff that you learn for orals should be transferable to the written paper, it will improve your fluency no end. French really is a very easy paper if you look at it simply...if you're able to speak the language and understand it, you'll get an A. The thing is most people can't with Irish I did get a bit lucky that the poems and stories I focused on did come up and again, I'd just re-state what I said for English. Know what they're about and you should be able to pull off an answer on the day. 0 -

Well done! That's fantastic!525:cool:
So now I only need 25 more points assuming law and french stays at 550 (I can hope!) but in two of my subjects I was 1% off the grade above and I deserved an A2 not a B3 in my English, so I think I have a real shot at my first choice if I work really hard and get myself up to 560! And if not my second choice would be equally brilliant so I'm happy enough!
I was going for Law and Business in Trinity but really doubt i'll get the points (555) so I put it down in NUIM instead! I got 510 in the Mocks. I'm hoping I can do a lot better seeing as I had to count LCVP instead of French as I did shít in French (C2). And I ended up getting a B3 in Music but my practical should bring me up to an A2/B1. Fingers crossed for 530 in June, beginning to get seriously worried though! 0 -

I don't fit in at all here :rolleyes: I still have to get back business but I'm assuming my results will be around 320 overall.
I got 63% in English, my worst ever result in the subject. I almost cried when I saw it. English is my second best subject and I consistently get A2s/B1s. I suppose I didn't study for it, but still. 0 -
English - C3 - 55% - not too bad considering I did terrible in my comprehensions and never even attempted the comparative. Personally feel I should have gotten better marks in my poetry and Hamlet, but hey, what can ya do?
Irish (OL) - B3 - 74% - Really good considering I did nothing. Really happy with the 35/40% in my oral!
Maths (OL) - B3 - 72% - Not too bad I suppose, I can do better though, since it's one of my better subjects.
Geography - C2 - 61% - Not including the Field Study. Not too bad also, did no study at all, and didn't answer some questions at all.
Biology - C2 - 62% - Disappointing considering it would be my joined best subject.
Business - D3 - 42% - Really disappointing. By far my worst subject anyway. Just goes right over my head, it may be common sense, but it just doesn't click with me. Really don't expect to do well in June even though I have to.
Home Ec - D2 - 45% - Very disappointing considering it's my joint best subject. I never answered most of the questions, but funnily enough everything I did answer I got full marks in, I just ran out of time.
320 points in total. Really disappointed in myself since I need around 500 for my 1st choice which I really want. I honestly don't think I'm going to get it, and getting stressed out about it, but I just can't bring myself to study. 0 -
570 is useless?
Explain...
I'm applying to the UK, and they go on individual grades as opposed to points. So I have an offer from the college I want to go to stating that I need 5 higher level As to actually get the course. Doesn't matter how many points I get if I don't get those grades. 0 -

Surely you must have gotten at least 4A1s then,
I don't think anybody can complain about those results considering you're likely to do even better next time around!0 -
