Leaving Cert Results 15th August .... !

Eden3

Okay, well I'm really hoping son does well ... he hated school, barely went for best part of two years, but then, after years of his mother's torment (mine) he went back (school were great too, have to say) and he did it, the Leaving Cert. I'm crossing everything here tonight, am sure there's others out there in same boat ..... am proud of him regardless:)

It's such a hard and unfair exam, glad I did well in mine cos you're basically screwed if you don't but hard work always pays off
Enjoy the drinkies tomorrow night

16 years since I got mine, Oasis were in the middle of a 2 night gig in Cork, I nearly failed 2 subjects (I blame Euro '96) but I got enough points to do whaty I wanted and the rest, as they say, is History

Good luck to all the result getters tomorrow......in getting into a pub tomorrow night :pac:

I always imagined you as being in your late teens when reading your posts. Not an insult btw, your posts are usually funny.

Teenagers are rarely funny to anyone else but themselves.

You're not, don't worry! Some people aren't suited to school because of the way they learn, not necessarily a learning disability but more the style in which they are best suited to learning with and contrast with the teaching style given to them by the school.

If you're lazy you'll get nowhere, but there are genuine reasons for people not being suited to school. They can still be very successful(like me)

Reading this makes me want to get my ass back drinking again. It's coming up to that time when I have to make a **** load of decisions I have no clue about.

shopaholic1, I'll take you up on that thread offer!

It doesn't get easier in my experience.
Hope this helps.

I almost kind of wish I was back waiting for my results last year. It was nerve-wracking and a bit nauseating but at least it was exciting and something to look forward to. Looking back, the time between getting my results and starting college was one of the highlights of last year.

Anyway, good luck to any one waiting on results. You'll get what you deserve and if you've worked hard you'll get what you deserve.

i cannot be the only person who sees irony in that post somewhere

Leaving cert...not even on my C.V now. I think it's only purpose is to get points for university.

But, good luck to the students anyway.

Funnily enough, I mod LC so spend a fair bit of time around them, and I'd be far more likely to make that comment about certain posters in AH!!

(And given that no matter how I phrase it that looks like a veiled dig at you, starbelgrade, I'm hereby clarifying that it isn't! :P)

Load of bollix. The leaving cert is an important exam alright, but in the grand scheme of your life, its nothing.

My grandfather said this to me before I done the Junior, "Son, go in there, do your best and then forget all about it and enjoy your summer. The exams you need to be stressing about are the ones when you go into the doctors and need to undergo a test after a health scare."

Good luck to all those receiving their results tomorrow and remember, if you don't get the results who hoped for, that you have plenty of options. Time is on your side.

Very good advice.

Randy has always got our backs You're a great mod

Getting the results tomorrow myself, my nerves are shot Good luck to anyone else here floating around

validusername1

I seem to be one of the only people who's not nervous about getting them! & that's not 'cause I'm convinced I did so well, 'cause in fairness I know I didn't do overly well considering I only studied the night before each exam, but the reason I'm not nervous is 'cause I know that no matter what I get, it's not gonna affect my life much. If you do a bad LC, there's plenty other options. I hate this attitude so many people have that ''oh if you don't do well in your LC, you're f*cked. That's it, you'll amount to nothing'' etc..

So c'mon, where are all our Leaving Certers with their results?

NegativeCreep

Passed everything and done much better than I expected! Don't think I got enough points for my first choice but I don't care as long as I get something!

Plazaman

I got eleventy hundred points (since I done my leaving cert 26 years ago i'm factoring in currentcy change, interest and the economic bailout).

I'm going to get drunk tonight anyway.

alwaysadub

Got my results 14 years ago, wouldn't go through it all again if I was paid.

Good luck to everyone getting their results.

fkt

435 points for me who needed and was barely expecting 355. Much love to you all

Duggy747

I got a paltry 270 points, still made it to college and studied 2 different topics (Media & IT Systems) where I had loads of good jobs in those fields. Now I have a great IT job and enjoy doing it.

I know loads of people who went to college after getting good points, did their 4+ years and now work in jobs that have nothing to do with what they studied :pac:

And then the ones who didn't go to college after school / didn't get big points in the LC / did LC Applied / etc, are now going to college doing good but tough courses as mature students.

All that hype for LC but once you hit 23, it doesn't mean jack shìt.

The_Kew_Tour

One my best friends got 90 points in his leaving. He is now qualified Accountant, and bar one other friend is doing as good, if not better then the rest of us.

Yes its nice to get good leaving and gives you better and easier way to achieve and get what you want. But, it is not the end of the world. For minority it can be best thing that happens to you in long run as sometimes at yer age you need to get wake up call.

Jester252

One mouth in college you will forget all about the LC. I got an exam recheck (the idiot forgot to add in 80 marks) and when I got it back I just didn't care anymore.

Your dead right. The leaving isnt a measure of intelligence, just memory. As Irish am said you have plenty of options as time is on your side. Plenty have people have went to to do phds without a leaving.

True in more ways than you originally intended, I suspect! :pac:

Interesting replies to my original post ... thanks:).

Well HE DID IT ... passed EVERYTHING + got Leaving Cert ..... am so pleased for him!

When I think how hard it was over last two years - he just wouldn't go to school at all! Did so little study for the exams, and managed to pass them all!

Told him it goes to show how clever he is + definitely takes after his MUM:D:D

Mr Benevolent

Fair play, great news.
