Irish: C1
English: B2
French: B3
Maths: B3
History: B3
Biology: C2
Business: C1
Adds up to 360 points overall. I went up ~120 points from the mocks and I've got about 45 points to spare in case my course requirements go up. Couldn't be happier.
I'm in the same boat as you! It's not enough for my first choice but I'll get something which is all that matters!

Well I trust everyone.
It would be fairly sad to lie about CAO points on Boards in fairness.0 -

I figure its the smart, witty people of this country who frequent boards.:rolleyes:0 -
I got 600 points! I'm over the moon! I actually cannot believe it! :eek:
I got pictured and interviewed for our county newspaper and all!
Irish: A1 (Elated and relieved!)
English: A1 (What the....? I actually cannot believe this!)
Geography: A1 (Sooo delighted! I thought the paper was difficult and was so nervous as this is my best/ favourite subject!)
German: A2 (First A in German since the JC! )
Chemistry: A2 (It was a disastrous paper so I'm ecstatic!)
Biology: A1 (Yay! Very pleased)
Business: A1 (Over the moon! I want to study this and geography in college so A1s in both of them was my dream!)
Religion: A1 (Aaaah! So happy and relieved as I thought I completely messed up a section! Again it's one of my favourites so )
Maths (O): A1 (Nice!)
9 As! I'm still in shock!
I'm just hoping this is enough to get me into Arts in NUIM! Can't wait to start college now though! :D:D 0 -

Sad as it is, I reckon there's a fair few at it! Haven't a notion why people feel the need to do it tho :L0 -

She viewed the paper with me and said I would certainly pick up marks on appeal. Went up a grade when I appealed
When I find out about how many points it is this year I might.
I don't want to risk going down.

Is everyone aware of the EXTRA 25 points for passing HL Maths?

No, I was joking, everyone who was doing the LC knows about it since sometime last year. This is the first year they're doing it.
It's quite unfair in my opinion.
Oh, right. Didn't realise. Yeah, I don't think scraping a pass is anything to receive extra points of myself. Maybe if they got at least a C3... 0 -

Got A1's in Maths, Applied Maths, Physics, DCG, Accounting and Chemistry, a C2 in Higher English and a C3 in Pass Irish.
Completely Delighted, my hands were shaking for about two minutes afterwards, and i was in Shock for a good half hour.
About 200 points more than I need for Science choice in UL, I just cant decide between two different courses, hopefully I will be able to quickly so I'm not playing catch up for too long.
I wonder If I can get a scholarship? I Know the UL 40 ones are automatic and based on CAO scores, but i dont know how to apply to any others.0 -

I'm very happy with 5 of my results, but Chemistry really let me down, therefore bringing my total points score down...
Irish: B1
Music: B2
English: B3
French: B3
Biology: C1
Chemistry: D3
Maths (OL): C1
Total: 430
I'm considering repeating next year and replacing Chemistry with Geography/Ag Science and hoping that I could get a B1/B2 in it therefore bringing up my points to get Primary School Teaching (B.Ed) next year (465-480). Also I'm quite young, I won't be 18 until December, as I didn't do TY so I've always had that "extra year" to play around with. I would also consider taking up a 7th subject next year so if what happened this year happened again next year, I could substitute it for the new subject. I regret not doing a 7th subject this year, it might have saved me repeating (its not certain but I am considering it). But overall I'm very happy with my results! Well done to everyone else today! 0 -

If you get your teacher to look at the script with you they'll be able to advise on how good a chance you stand of going up. I never would have appealed had she not given me her advice. Like there were parts she said wouldn't go up, but i remember her seeing my poetry section and not understanding why they'd taken away marks for spelling/grammar when it was totally clean.0 -

Why not just do Arts and then do the PDE for Primary? It'll give you more options and you'll be able to study subjects you like. Takes same amount of time too.0 -

Irish (H) A2
English (H) A2
Maths (O) B2
French (H) B1
Biology (H) B3
Business (H) B1
Geography (H) B2
Music (H) B2
Overall: 510
My goal was to reach 500 so I'm just glad I got there! I should be well on my way to Primary teaching now
have to admit I'm pretty raging with French (Worked my socks off for the A), Business (My A1 subject all along) and Biology (I don't even know where to start..:( ) But all in all I'm a happy camper!
I hope all the boardsies got what they need and if not, there's always a way around. Now to go out and KILL ALL THE BRAIN CELLS!0 -

got 335 points! wasn't expecting this at all. got a B3 in Geography and miraculously got a C3 in ordinary maths. Thought I failed it. the computing course I want to apply to is 270 points. hopefully It won't rise too much. I applied for a level 6 course also, so I should get in either way. I'm pretty relieved! 0

English: A1 (Whaaaaaaat? I hate English!)
