In 4 days the CAO change of mind ends. Still pretty sure I've made the right decision picking Maynooth but jaysus the lack of decent room's for a price I can afford is annoying.

I've passed, I think. The Student Web Services site tells me I've got ~550pts and a pass grade from this year, is there any reason to still be worried?

No need to worry, that's a 2.2, through to the next year.

Oh thank fuck. I was worried that it was something like the average of your modules in one subject for passing-by-compensation, e.g. the average of two Maths modules - I probably would have been screwed in that case.

Getting any sort of accommodation here is worse than the hunger games. Even cardboard boxes in Tesco are scarce :pac:

Just got my results... I was shocked to say the least I got an average of 54%. I failed one and missed one exam in each semester. First one I missed as I took down the time table wrong and the second one I got extremely I'll during an exam.

So unless I get an average of 76% in my repeats I'm kinda stuck with a 2:2. Slightly devastation but I still have my two year masters... Hopefully the result in that is a lot more important

What happens if you can't make the department consultation day, will they have another day to look at scripts, surly they cant be leaving it at just the one?

They leave it at one day for the sake of convenience, everyone go down at the same time. However, they're your scripts, if you can't make it, mail the department secretary to make an appointment to view your scripts some other time. If they give you crap about it, even refuse, go talk to the examinations office. They're yours and you're entitled to see them and find out where you lost marks and why.

Please only advertise any grinds services in the Grinds / Study / Tuition thred. Nowhere else.

Out of curiosity, how many potential "marks" are there when you're looking at your results on the Student Web Services site? I got ~720 last year and ~550 this year, I'd hazard a guess that it's out of 1,000.

Had a bit of a disaster of a final year, one question though (if anyone could please give me a hand), I did a double-hons, my history worked out at 60%-62%-63% and for the final one I only got 12% because I didn't get most of the C.A in.

Now I know about the 15 credits I can use for an honours award but I'd really be hoping to keep them for my other subject.

So if I repeat that history module in Autumn without honours what will the mark be capped at? 40%-50%? I read that 30% of the 2nd year mark can be used if your result falls below the 2nd year mark.

So say I have 60-62-63-40 (if that's the cap) it averages off at 56%. I averaged 62% in history last year, so how would 30% of that come into play regarding the 56%?
