    30 points. Kinda middle ground. Not close enough to feel like I should have gotten my course but not a ridiculous amount off it either. Still enough out to have to bloody repeat though :o

    Jaysus no one seems to have been that far out, points wise. Anyone else starting to really worry about going down in points? I mean like english was one of my best subjects but with the whole, new play , new poets, new comparative texts im just completely thrown off. And i havent even started studying yet, cause i didnt really study much last year so im not sure how to get stuck in, i mean iv studied for the tests my teachers are giving but i havent really done out a plan for long term study, still thats the aim for this weekend :].

    You will not think these thoughts again. No one will be disappointed and we will all get exactly what we want. You have no choice in the matter :D

    C'mon where's the positivity ? :p

    I took up HL maths, was going to take up Ag Science but decided I'd just do 6 subjects. Have LCVP as a backup but hoping I won't be counting on it for points.

    I did it last year so all I have to do is sit the written test. :D I'm surprised nobody got higher than a pass in your school, I can't think of anyone in my class who got lower than a Merit and there was quite a few Distinctions too. We did most of the work for it in class as well so it didn't take up anytime. :/

    With regards LCVP, I went to a very good school and was the first person in 3 years to get a Distinction in it last year, even though I didn't count it for points. It's a very flimsy subject, please don't rely on it for points, it's not worth it tbh!

    Thats where i messed up last year! Our careers guidance teacher told us that basically everyone gets a distinction (lie) so i was counting on getting one and using it for points to at least get my second choice. I got 89% in the written paper for the mock but i guess my portfolio brought me down because the written paper was very easy and in fairness our lcvp teacher was useless in regards to the portfolio

    Is it just me, or does even the presence of this thread make you think there's a lot of repeats this year?

    Lord Ned Stark- You're not alone, as I said it's probably the worst thing ever. Im repeating in Rathmines, Dublin, and it seems like the other repeats don't mind being back. Crazy!

    I got an A1 and am only thinking of repeating Irish on it's own (to get an entry requirement) but i'm still unsure whether I can manage the HC3!
