Ah sure while we're at it!
Maths 92% (aww yeah )
English 89% (I think realistically dodgy marking got me that more than anything else!)
Chemistry 92%
Physics 86%
French 85%
DCG 89%
Irish 83%
Applied Maths haven't done a pre in this yet as I do it outside school, I'm doing that in Easter and I'm hopeful but not expectant of an A1.

So excluding applied Maths I've a grand total of 585, grand I suppose but still places I can improve in!

That is actually unreal. Congrats!

Slow Show

Boards makes me feel so average.

I've only gotten a few back, I'm on course for something between 550 and 575 I think, looking for 575 in the real thing to be sure of the option of Pharmacy as it's the only thing other than Medicine I'd consider accepting. Feeling quite positive about the LC lately though now that I can freely focus on it full time.

From what I can see the irish mocks system seems so much more fair than the norwegian. We don't even have precentages and most of our grades will fall on what teacher you have and how the rest of the class did. We only do four exams in the end and one of them is norwegian and then they select you random subjects.

Sucks, hate our system.

Great times great times. Jolly good

I actually sent a photocopy of my leaving cert translated to english to UCD and got them to calculate my points. See, we've got a whole other grading system ranking from 1-6. 1 is fail, 2 is passed, 3 is average(yeah on a country basis even), and 6 is the top grade. So alltogether I had 22 grades on my leaving cert, some of them from subjects from my first two years (subjects I finished in those years like social studies, basic science and french). I did all the subjects that we have to do like norwegian and our old norwegian language (similar to you doing irish as well), english, social studies, history, ph.ed, religion, basic science. And then I chose chemistry, maths, physics and english for an additional two years (the last two out of three years). Did english instead of biology cause those happened at the same time. Wish I could have done both though...And yeah, I finished last year so I'm in uni right now doing the same subjects as medicine first year (biochemistry, cell biology, basic latin, medical statistics, chemistry, biology, anatomy and physiology, lab and histology). Though what I study is human nutrition which means that if I continue it'll only be nutrition subjects next year...hmm..rather do medicine.

So yeah, uhm, basically I got 5 and 6 (two top grades) in all subjects but french and my norwegian exam. That left me one point short to enter medicine in norway -.-

IF I do get in in Ireland I'm not sure when I'd be moving..sadly not that optimistic I must admit I have a feeling it's not gonna go my way. Not killin' all the hope yet but trying to stay relatively realistic.
