Leaving Cert '11/'12 Off-Topic 2

Comments

Finished school forever today. And can honestly say it was one of the best, funny, amazing, special, exciting, class day ever! Had a day full of Activities with my year (Tug-a-war, rounders, hide and seek, hula hooping :P, dancing, sack races, 3 legged races etc). No-one cried leaving, we had such an amazing day nobody felt the need to cry! We have our Graduation Mass tomorrow evening which is always an amazing moment, no doubt we'll all be crying then! But for now, my memories of my final days at school are nothing but positive!

I secretly want 600... and if I don't get it, I'm actually going to be pretty disappointed
But here's the plan!
Applied Maths: Simply has to be an A1, I know you're all gonna hate me for saying this, but I can get A1's in it without any study :P But yeah I did come 3rd in the All-Ireland Applied Maths competition :cool:
Maths: Also has to be an A1, only thing I always f`uck up on is probability and a bit of stats but I can do everything else.
Physics: I'd like an A1 in this too. Not doing any study now until the days before the exam though, I have 4 and a half days like! So yeah hopefully all will go well:) However I think I'd get a B1 with last year's paper though I personally found tough!
Geography: If I don't get an A1 in this I'll actually be stunned. I know the whole course at the moment so I'm in good shape.
French: I would LOVE a sneaky A1 in this, but an A2 would suffice. I'm going to do an hour of listening every night from now 'till the leaving cert so hopefully I'll improve on that, comprehensions are grand, and I'm good enough at the written
Irish: I want a B1.. despite not studying anything for pros and poetry :P They take up too much time for too little marks IMO. There's basically only 3/4 types of questions that can come up for A Thig Na Tit Orm so that should be ok, and so far I've prepared and learnt off 5 essays!
English: I'd also like a B1. I'm dire at paper 1 though, well not that good (I failed the comprehension in the mock ffs) but for paper 2 I'm in decent shape, but if General vision doesn't come up I'm a bit screwed. I'd like to learn off a short story but I can't find one that'd fit into everything
So yeah, that's it! With a stroke of luck all will go well! Good luck to everyone else:)0 -

How many questions are you doing for applied maths / recommend to do?0 -

I do the good old questions 1-5 and 10. The great thing is, you can almost full marks for questions 3,4,5 and 10 because they're all pretty much the same method over and over again. Q1 can be tricky but it's a nice question in general I find, but I am hopeless at doing the v/t graphs and you have to prove something equals something else in loads of letters
Only thing is question 2 can either but lovely or an absolute bitch :pac: It's usually fine for me though... watch collisions and resultant this year!
if you're doing another question I'd go for moments of inertia, proofs come in part a every year which is an easy 20 marks and the methods to solve the question are pretty much the same all the time according to my friend.0 -
625 points for me is as likely as the moon hitting the earth tomorrow afternoon. :pac: But the grades I want are...
English: Not gonna lie, I really really really want the A1 in this just because I've gotten A1s in any essays I've done recently and it'd be a pity to let that slip. I got a B1 in the mock, 8 marks off an A2, and that was mainly because I sort of misinterpreted the essay title, we hadnt revised Hamlet and I didnt know how to do unseen poetry. I'd be happy with an A2 and a B1 maybe, anything less would kill me.
Irish: I only ever wanted a B1 and managed an A2 in the mocks, but I dunno how, that exam was a real best care scenario. I'd be happy with a B2 but I'd like a B1, its a nice halfway point
Maths: As long as I pass I wont complain
I've been doing a lot more work on it lately though neglecting P2 because its dreadful. I secretly want a C2, just because it'd be the equivalent of an A2 in anything else. 
French: If I don't get an A1 I will be crushed. I got it in my mock by the skin of my teeth because my oral was marked awfully hard, but French is my favourite thing ever and I really work consistently at it.
Geography: Seeing all my friends who do the easier parts of the course getting A1s effortlessly in the mocks has made me bitter, and the subject is piss easy anyway, so I'd like an A2/B1 at least.
Business: Meh, I find this subject hard believe it or not. B2 would keep me happy but maybe I'll get lucky.
History: Lol. I'll pass easily from the document and my project, but unless my predictions are right I mightn't get more than a C...but it could also go really well. Ideally I'd like a B3 or even a C1 so as to not make my results sheet look awful, but its a horrible subject.
I dont know how close I am to those results. English, Irish and French are definitely doable, business/maths are just one grade up from my mocks, and geography is the same.
</blogpost> :P0 -
Agricultural Science: Hopefully an A. I get them in class but when I look at the exam papers I'm not sure. They consistently ask things which aren't in the book and it's hard to know what exactly to study because the syllabus is so vague - A1
Biology: A hopefully as well. Sometimes questions can be a bit awkward but for the most part it's ok. I've probably put the most work into it - A1
Chemistry: A as well
I've done all the exam papers and read the book numerous times so if I don't get it I'll be pissed :pac: - A1
Gaeilge: If I don't get the A I'll also be pretty mad. I've been doing an essay a week for the past year.. I haven't done any listening but that should be grand and I haven't put much into the Prós/Filíocht because there's a lot in there - A1
German: I'd like to say I'd get an A or a strong B but I don't put a lot of work into it. I'm awful at the listening - B1
English: My handwriting is awful and I'm really slow at writing so if I were to hazard a guess a C or a B - B1
Math: Hopefully a B :rolleyes: I just don't know with this subject :pac: - B1
Them results are best case scenario :P0 -
Yay bloggy posts! Okay here's mine:
(Obviously 6 A1s would be ideal, but seriously, where would ya be goin'?!) :P
English: B1. Same as last year. Any less is very likely but would also be a little embarrassing after last year. :cool: I'd love an A2, but it'd be so hard to get!
Irish: A1. If I can't get an A1 after so many years of the subject, and with 40% for the oral, then I never will! :P
Maths: B3 would be lovely, but my original aim was a D3 and seeing as I only took it up this year, I'll be happy as long as I pass! A C2 or higher would be nice though.
French: A1. I'd nearly repeat again if I don't get an A1 this time! Favourite subject ever + best teacher ever + actually working fairly hard = an A1, surely! :P
DCG: Oh god it's so hard to predict this one! I'm going to say at least a B1. I should be able to get a B, and if the paper's nice then maybe a high one.
Phys/Chem: Hopefully at least a B1 here too. The Chemistry will definitely bring me down though, but if I work my ass off and am lucky on the day, I could get an A.
Very optimistic, but that would give me 555 points. Lovely looking number that is, I better knuckle down for the next couple of weeks so!0 -

You're studying 6? No backup? I'm not sure, should I be only studying 6?0 -

I can use a computer for all my exams but honestly I only use it for english, with papers such as biology, physics, maths, french, LCVP (To an extent) It only wastes time.
Also - funny story, had my grad mass yesterday and I managed to catch a bug that day. I was on the stage saying a "Prayer of the Faithful" when I had to run out the door to get sick. I couldn't go out on my grad night then either. It was horrible. 0 -

Now I'm feeling a bit worried about myself because I can only get around 4 hours of good study done per day.
