1)English A
2)History A
3)Gaelige C
4)Italian C
5)Maths B
6)Geography A
7)Home Eco A (Aced the practical + project = 40%)
8)Science A (Still doing Science coursebook B and HAVEN'T START A )

English - A
Irish - B/A (More than likely a B, my paper 2 always lets me down!)
Maths - A/B (I got a B in my pre, but I've put in a ton of work since then so I'm hoping it pays off and I get the A!)
CSPE - A
Religion - A/B (Probably an A - I put a good effort into my project and I've done a good bit of exam questions)
French - B/A (I'm putting so much work into French! I hope it pays off! An A would be amazing!)
Geography - A
Science - A (Hopefully my project will get good marks!)
TG - A/B (I've done pretty much every exam paper back to 1997!!)
Business - A (My teacher is brilliant! I was 2% off the A in the pre, but I'm working mad since then to grab the A!)
Woodwork - C/B(My project was a disgrace! I had a week to do it! I almost cry everytime I think about it. My portfolio was quite
good though, and hopefully if I put in the work for the exam, I'll come out with a C or B.. Makes me sick to think about it!!)

All Higher Level by the way!

My teacher is a disgrace! Then when I got back home after the my trip to LA he was all like 'Needs to be in by Friday.' I was so annoyed. Everyone walking in with their teak/mahogany wall units and I'm like it's a nailed together wooden thing with a drawer :rolleyes: My teacher even told me it was crap! :rolleyes: Oh well - not doing construction next year so it'll be fine xD

Well, I'm really only aiming to achieve good results for the subjects, I'm going to do for the leaving cert which hopefully are,

English
Maths
Irish
History
Geography
Business

Predictions/:

English: A
Maths : C/D
Irish : B
Geography: A
Business : B
Metalwork : D [if I'm lucky to pass it]
Home Economics: C, my practical exam went well so lets hope for the best.
French - A/B
CSPE - A
Science - C [Hopefully, I'll need to work hard at this subject]
Latin - A

Hopefully, at the end of the day I do better than I predict, with constant study I'm fairly confident, but lets hope I meet my goal but my primary aim is to do well at the subjects I plan to do at university and leaving cert.

Lucky you do not have to do business

English: A (I need to learn a poem or two first.)
Irish: B (Aiming high.)
Geography: A
Maths: A
CSPE: A
Business Studies: A
History: A
Science: A
Religion: A
Technical Graphics: A (There is a gargantuan chance of me messing this up though.)
Spanish: B (Aiming high.)

I'm not very good at languages. I am completely unable to read something in a language other than English and then answer questions on it. Listening is also very difficult. I have to keep working to achieve these results but I'd be ecstatic to achieve them and that's my motivation.

glitzandbits

I wasn't happy with my pre results as it was much lower than I'd usually get in Christmas/summer exams...
I'm aiming for:
Geography A (a in the pres)
History A (in the the pres)
Science A (B in the pres, but we had no exam paper work done)
Tech Graph A/B (I got a D in the pres... This is wishful thinking )
English A (B in the pres... 83... Was really disappointed because its usually my best subject)
Irish B (B in the pres but I was over the moon with that result and I just want to maintain it)
Art A (A in the pres, put so much time into my project I hope it pays off!)
German A (B in the pres... Hope I've done enough to bring it up)
Maths A/B (C in the pres but I've been doing so much study!)

Sooooo these are my goals, fingers crossed! Hope everyone is happy next September

I did a two week demo on Business in 1st year .. it was too easy . Joking ... I don't like business .. having a job in an office or bank just seems boring to me . Home Eco was well worth it XD.:rolleyes:

Thanks, mate ! I certainly hope to achieve them. I like to think of myself as a B student, but I got mostly A's on my mocks. I am very bad at studying, but looking through the papers I think I have the hang of most of it. Er, except for History, I'll need a solid week to get back on top of that, but it should be fine once I do.

Try make short notes and mindmaps in history for people in histories etc.

I can't help but feel a bit worried, but I know that it isn't the end of the world if I don't do fantastic. As you said, I'll do a bit more for the LC :P

Maths - Want to get an A, no less
Metalwork - Wanting to get an A but I feel like my project was average so i'm expecting a B to be honest.
Technical Graphics - A
Science - Never once studied it and I have an awful teacher, would be delighted with a B/C
Geography - A, did well in pres and xmas exam. Quite easy paper tbh
History - Havent put much work into it so I dont expect to do very well, kinda worried about q5 and q6
Irish - Don't care about it
English - Hopefully a B, worried about this exam also
CSPE - LOL, soooo worried!
French - Couldnt care less but im quite good at it so hopefully a B!

Again with the CSPE slagging.

From the statistics,
Grade A in CSPE last year was attained by 29.6% of female candidates and
14.3% of males.

Not as much of a gimme subject as everyone seems to think.
