    Folks, however it went, things will be ok.

    You are about to embark on life outside the school and family environment. You are embarking on a whole new chapter in your lives.

    These results are not the start of great things to come, likewise they are not the road to ruin.

    If you didn't get the results you wanted, well feck it, you'll just have to take a different route to achieve your goals, or indeed your goals may change. As part of this new route you may indeed have a better endpoint, and might get more sex on the way.

    Hate the way the media highlight the guys that get the great grades. This is a real downer for a lot of people in particular for those that did not do that well. Must say it affected me when I got my results. In saying that, I'm doing ok now so I am.

    Couldn't agree more-today is about making some memories. I guarantee you won't even remember most of your grades by the end of next year :D

    The very best of luck to you all, enjoy the day no matter what. And if it doesn't go your way, just keep calm and deal with it tomorrow. It's never as bad as you think (I've been there).;)

    Absolutely devastated..I might post the results later because at the moment I cannot even look at the sheet :/
    Well done to all ye lads who got what ye wanted!


  • Registered Users Posts: 217 ✭✭RedTexan


    Surpassed all my expectations, was confident but not of this! 7 higher A1's and an A2 in English, I guess they felt compelled to put me down somewhere! Mouldy tonight!


  • Registered Users Posts: 17 felixfelicis


    I AM SO CONFUSED.

    Literally, I opened the envelope and stared at the page like "THIS CAN NOT BE MY LEAVING CERT." I don't deserve this!

    Irish: B1
    English: A1
    History: A1
    French: A1
    Biology: A2
    Art: A2

    (And Ordinary Maths: A2)

    So... 565.

    I really, really, REALLY didn't see that one coming. At all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,391 ✭✭✭Mysteriouschic


    I don't know if I'm happy with my results and I repeated this but they did go up a lot but I'm still not happy. Ugh not sure what to do repeating again would be torture.
    I'm currently thinking of a new career, I'm glad I passed maths though.

    Why not PLC?

    English : C2
    Maths : B1
    Business : B2
    Physics : B1
    Biology : B1
    Geography : B3
    500 points on the dot.

    And Ordinary Level Irish : B3


    Really surprised with the English result and thought I did much worse at it considering I didn't do a poetry question , but I guess they bell curved the marking scheme for that paper. Quite pleased with the results overall , might get a few re-checked though.

    ok I'll do it :L

    Biology A1
    Chemistry A1
    German A1
    Irish A2
    Maths B1
    Applied Maths B1
    Physics B1
    English B1

    so 585 with bonus maths points :) That was like the best I could hope for. I am a little disappointed with maths and English, I consistently got As in them all through school so it's a bit disappointing to get Bs when it counts.

    but I'm ****ing delighted with chemistry and biology. And Irish! My teacher told me she thought I'd get a B, REALLY wanted an A after that just to prove her wrong. Absolutely shocked with applied maths, I was certain I wouldn't get above a C.

    It's strange, I wasn't going to keep on chemistry and I wanted to drop to pass Irish and they're like two of my best subjects...while my favourite is my worst :(

    But yeah I'm really happy, couldn't realistically have hoped for better :)

    Why not PLC?

    There isn't anything for the course I want. I want a IT business but there's only courses for separately . I don't know which computer course to apply for. There's only office course but thats not really the same.
