This isn't what I want to get, It's what I know I will get-

all higher level

English - D
Irish - B ( maybe an A if I get a bit lucky)
Geography - B
Maths - C (maybe just maybe a
CSPE - B (maybe an A if I'm lucky)
Business - B ( I Might just scrape an A though)
French - B/C (More likely a C)
History - B
Science - C is very likely But I'm aiming for ATLEAST a B
Tech Graph - Couldn't care less ( I got 27% in Christmas Test, 29% in the Mocks)

Overall, I'm pretty disappointed If I get these grades but if I get lucky and achieve a B in Maths/ A in Business/ A in Irish/ B in French/ B in Science, it will make me much happier. God if only I wasnt one of the worst procrastinators ever or if I had some decent teachers for just Maths, French or Science then I would get more A's for sure

Yeah I didn't know about the whole bell curve thing until I joined Boards.. and I think it's going to be the ruining of me haha! Cause I've never been the type to get 95%.. more like 86% and 87% so..

Perfect victim for the bell curve then . It sucks ... ah well, if you do higher level irish, the bell curve will actually bring you up higher because not many people do higher level irish .

That kind of depends which way things are going nationally. I've seen people who were actually originally on 80% or so end up with an A. It's swings and roundabouts really.
If someone is in the top x% of candidates (the percentage differs depending on subject) they will get their A.

OisinLAD

So let's hope everybody did terrible! I'm joking :L I'd like to think in most cases, people deserve the result they get? and you said before that the bell curve thing allows people to have the same chance of getting an A every year which obviously is fair

Not exactly the same percentage chance of an A, but in the ball park.

For example here are a few subjects and their A percentages over the last few years:
Irish HL 2010 (11%), 2011 (10.5%) 2012 (11.7%).
English HL 2010 (10.9%), 2011 (10.9%), 2012 (10.6%).
History HL 2010 (16.1%), 2011 (16.3%), 2012 (15.8%).
Geography HL 2010 (9.5%), 2011 (9.1%), 2012 (9%).
French HL 2010 (10.7%), 2011 (10.8%), 2012 (10.9%).
Science HL 2010 (10.4%), 2011 (9.7%), 2012 (9.4%).
CSPE 2010 (23.2%), 2011 (20.9%), 2012 (21.9%).
Art HL 2010 (19%), 2011 (21.1%), 2012 (22.8%).

Imaginary Friend

I was originally aiming for 8 As but I keep over-analyzing my performance on the exams and it's driving me insane Music is really going to depend on Dictation on the day, and I hope I got a bookworm for an English examiner!

Realistic predictions: (All Higher except Common CSPE)
English - A
Irish - A
Maths - A
Science - A
History - A
Geography - A
French - A
Religion - A/B
Music - A/B (not done yet but based on Mocks [85%] and my progress since then)
CSPE - A

Commentary:
English - I'm really worried about this one. My standard of language is really excellent, but I didn't enjoy Paper 2 and that's usually a bad sign. Paper 1 was a dream though. I know that on Results Day my eye is just going to go straight to English and I need that A. My English teacher is constantly saying that nobody gets them

Irish - I messed up Unseen Poetry but everything else was brilliant.

Maths - So much easier than I expected! Unless the Bell Curve hits me, that's an A for sure.

History - The Short Questions weren't nice but I flew through the Long Questions, especially the essays (Luther and Columbus) and Q6

Geography - Giving myself a tentative A here, 83% in the Mocks and I think I did better than I did in those so my extra 2%+ should bring me up to an A.

CSPE - Simple as anything, and since I did the question the SEC made an error in I might get extra marks! Not that I'll need them, really.

Music - I haven't done it yet, but I'm going to have everything studied really well and I just hope the listening goes well because Dictation is my downfall.

French - The Listening wasn't very nice, but still fairly confident I got an A.

Science - So mad about that paper!I think I might've just about scraped an A, when I calculated it in the exam my pessimistic estimate was 84% and my optimistic one 89%, so I'll hopefully get one.

Religion - As long as my essay wasn't completely off the point, because I liberally applied religious fundamentalist to basically any religious person who'll protest with signs against abortion (you might call them extremists but it's near enough). I've improved at developing my points, and with the really good coursework I think I got an A.

Overall... well I hope i got my 8, but they're probably not going to be the ones I originally expected! (Horrible Science paper, I'm looking at you.)
