    Who wants to take part in this? We'll see who can jump the highest points wise from the mocks to the real thing. I'm competing with myself so far: I got 220 in my mocks and I'm aiming for high 400s.

    I wish I had deliberately failed all my mocks now, so I could stand a chance at winning this. :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 23 hotfuzz2


    I need to improve by about 50 :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 405 ✭✭JonnyMcNamee


    Sure why not :P got 415 in the mocks and am aiming for 520/30 :D This comp could be the motivation I need :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 217 ✭✭snoreborewhore


    450 in the mocks and am looking for about 500! Is it sad that this will probably be the only thing motivating me?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,989 ✭✭✭PictureFrame


    500 in the Mocks, looking for anything over 515 and i'll be delighted! :)

    Going for a (very ambitious) jump of 175+. This may motivate me...

    I'd probably be more motivated if one of my friends just said they'd give me a tenner if I went up that much though. :pac: Or even a fiver, I'm not picky. :P

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,340 ✭✭✭Siobhnk


    Got 435, aiming for 450. Would probably be safe getting 430, but it's just for my own personal achievement :) actually, my sister got 465, I'd love 470 just because :P

    This is actually a good idea haha kinda motivating! :) um..well I would have gotten all my courses but 2 in my mock result. But I want to improve by 180 and I know I can do it...


  • Registered Users Posts: 442 ✭✭Incompetent


    I can safely say you're all depressing the sh!te out of me.

    Anyway... Is anyone interested in prizes, or will we keep it nice and friendly? If we had a LC12 meetup I'd buy the winner a pint (hopefully myself ;) )

    I know yer messing, but I failed 3 of the 6 I'll count in June, and I did no work for those 3. So I think I should be able to drag them up a good bit!

  • Registered Users Posts: 26 Reprazent


    Count me in! 310 in the mocks hoping for mid 400's!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,572 ✭✭✭Canard


    520 in the mocks, aiming to keep it right there! But 550 would be nice ;)
    ...But I was lucky with my 520 and wont tempt fate to make me drop below 500 :P

    Looking for an increase of 15.

    ... 610 in the mocks is depressing considering it's so easy to go down in the actual LC.
