Jesus well done! Oh god i feel stupid now- got A1 and two B1s so far. But to be fair i didn't study much for them. I was focusing on hpat (not sure how wise that was thinkin back)

OMG. They are serious mock results.... Got just under 500 with mine last year including maths. Really gave me the kick up the ass that I needed . . . :P

So, the results from the hpat that we get sometime in June, those will be our score in points right?

You get your score in points (which translate directly to CAO points, yes) as well as your percentile and a breakdown of your points section by section.

So what's everyone's plan B as a matter of interest? #toucheswood

Mine is to repeat the HPAT if you are still allowed. Hopefully i won't have to repeat my leaving cert. but sure you never know, i may get it first time round! please God!

Also, has any of ye guys got any tips for studying English? I find it difficult to compose A Standard answers and the absolute effort of learning off whole answers is unimaginable! I would appreciate any advice.

amicus

just spend time on your good subjects.and just settle for a low b or c in english.thats what im doing.like your englsih lc grade doesnt show your ability . some people arnt bothered learning 36 poems or 3 texts or an play inside out.

amicus

I found maths to be a disaster! paper 1 was near impossible but then again we havent covered most of it! but paper 2 was easy!

thanks! i really hope so. you have made my night now! :P

amicus

You should be okay if you just really know differentiation well! ye there is integration but only question and i think some of it was differentaition as well!
also, maths won't be covered at this stage anyway! :P

amicus

maths is prob gonna be hard for an a1..but apparently 20% of people failed last year and they rigged it so only 2% did so who knows maybe no one actually got an a1..irish yes.accounting i suppose so ha

amicus

everythings easy relative to the hpat ha

Yeah, oh god it is so time consuming maths, no?
yeah i heard bout that rigging, scandalous really as it shows it hasn't worked!
Irish really? like how? i'm fluent in it but i find the poetry/pros/ an triail hard to do! and the essay is hard enough to compose!
yeah hopefully acc sshould be grand!
