    Did you leave the English exam early or do you do Ord/Fondation?

    1 for paper one. Most likely 3.9 for paper two ;). PRACTICE PRACTICE AND PRACTICE. I got 45% on mocks and then on my last paper one mock, I got 79%. Keep practicing!

    Wow maths on a scale of 1-10 I'm about a 7, I can get about 2/3 paper 1 correct and 1/3 of paper 2 correct should be grand :P :cool:

    Paper 1 = 2

    Paper 2 = 4

    Not too bad, I've been doing lots of practice. Should pay off.

    Maths is my only real good subject so hoping it all goes well. Paper 1 is easy whereas paper 2 takes more natural intelligence and requires you to think.

    I had the best maths teacher ever in third year. I'll be disappointed with a B overall.

    I'm a little worried about Paper II though... So 2/10.

    Ordinary level all the way!!
    I used to have this notion that I have to be in higher level everything...
    But then I realised, as most people say;
    It's better to get an honor in pass than a fail in honors...

    A D in any higher level subject equals to an A in any ordinary subject, that's the way I think about it :p. I could just easily switch to ord tomorrow for maths and get an A, but I prefer a D, C or B in Higher than an A in Ord :pac:.

    Paper 1: 7
    Paper 2: 1.5

    Hated paper 1 in the mocks, didn't have a clue what they were asking for... Funny thing is I was getting As and high Bs in all my tests before the mocks then I ended up with a C...

    People switched to OL Irish from HL today. They just had to get a letter from our vice principal to give to the examiner.
