Got 445. I got E in maths but D3 in Lc. I know I should be grateful that I passed but something about a D3 annoys me.It sounds like I scrapped a pass n they felt sorry for me. Really wanted an honour. Got a C2 in English. Is anybody else annoyed at english. Getting Maths recked!!!

I hope Trinity Mathematics drops from its unnatural high of 535 back to what it usually is...

Does anybody think the points will come down for primary school teaching this year?

I would expect so, unless people really haven't been paying attention to what's going on in teaching.

Anyone else having doubts now that they've seen their points?
I have a place secured in England because I didn't think I'd get the course I wanted here. Results were a pleasant surprise and have definately given my a place here in Ireland (unless it go up by 50 points). Really don't know what to think now?

NL1995

I really hope so, I am short 10 points and i know its pretty slim that it will drop 10 but im hoping at least 5 then mabye i might get the other 5 from appealing my results, but i guess ill just have to wait and see:/

I was very annoyed after putting in a lot of work in the pre for english and i got a b3. But after feeling the exam went only so so in June for me I got an a2. I knew my essay went well, I just kind of got inspired in there and forgot I was in an exam hall, but I thought I made a complete hames of the macbeth question. Im happy out with what I got overall anyway(480) which should see me get primary teaching in Mary I hopefully.:D

Quick question to any/everybody. When do we actually get our official final certificate rather than just the provisional grades? I plan on going to uni in the Netherlands and they want the official results to admit me so I need them pretty soon...

Fingers crossed for you! I was going for that course too but only got a C3 in maths Absolutely devastated, with 550 would have hopefully gotten in, but clearly wasn't meant to be. Best of luck

It won't be soon. For the past few years they didn't issue them at all due to a dispute.

They suggest after all appeals are exhausted, but I would guess more like after Christmas.

Contact the SEC and see what official statement they can give you that will suit the Dutch folk.

Why devastated? What did you need to get?

I got 495 points,however I only got a D3 in HL Maths.

I heard that they adjust marks so people won't fail maths.Although I am happy that I passed ,if they didn't adjust the marks more likely I'd failed the Leaving .Still feeling shocked when thinking

Got 460! So happy ! Not going to get my 1st, or 2nd choice, may get my 3rd for Maynooth biological and biomedical which is 455 but I doubt it because points will prob jump !

Go with Ireland and save your family for the ridiculous fees in the UK.

Got 510 points, 10 points more than my first choice of Science in UCD. I'm hoping and praying it doesn't go up 10 points but we'll see!

lauren14

Got A2s in Art, English, Irish and OL Maths, B1 in Biology and B2s in German and History so 515 points. Delighted, as my first choice is 465 points (primary teaching in Maynooth)

That is sickening I got 520 so I dunno, I just hope some miracle happens.

Well yeah, just as I suspected, I failed OL maths - I got an E. Did great in everything else though (two A1's ) . My teacher said that such a difference between my maths result and the results I got in the other subjects is really uncommon. Not too disappointed with the result to be honest. I would be more concerned about the validity of the subject if I passed it. :pac:

Reckon a potential employer would look twice at the result? Should I bother including the result on my CV if I am applying for a job?

I wouldn't worry too much but if you were going to work anywhere that involved any kind of maths , even a shop or something/tills i would just leave it off! they will probably skim over results and won't think oh theres no maths result..

I only got 305 points , Not what I needed Does anyone know who applied for Architecture in DIT would I get in ? I Did quite well in the Test and Interview but not great :P

Also did anyone who was doing the Interview see how much people were on the list , and the amount of people who would not accept it ?

Any Help would be Great !

Bit late to the party here, but got 605 which is higher than I'd ever thought I'd get!

A1 : English, (Project) Maths, Applied Maths, Physics
A2: Spanish, Economics

Side note, just putting this out there, I may very well have the biggest points surplus in the country :P
Going for Common Entry Engineering in Maynooth, which was 390 last year, so I'm... *takes out calculator* 215 points ahead of the game

Anyone beat that, or know anyone that beats that?

EvM

535, so I'm pretty confident I'm going to get CSL in TCD. I guess I'm happy enough seeing that I really didn't do a whole lot of work until very close to the exams so I can't honestly complain .

A suggestion would be that you could undertake some minor maths course with certification in the future...just a suggestion. I got an F in my Leaving Cert OL Maths (albeit 35 years ago!...and the job I do now entails a lot of working with figures...um...go 'figure'!). But after school I did a commercial/secretarial course, and the fact that I'd taken a 'Business Arithmetic' (or something like that) exam and got an A in that gave me some confidence at interviews in subsequent years. I think it's useful to show you are fine with well....Junior Cert Maths stuff like percentages, fractions - the stuff that often crops up in aptitude tests.

It's just a suggestion. But some of the best people fail Maths.

Got 510 which I'm pretty happy about ! Had law in trinity down first for the craic but I'm 15 off of last year! Wouldn't mind ucd which I'm pretty sure I'd be somewhat home and dry with..does anyone think that law in trinity will come down this course has fluctuated alot throughout the years

curly135

Music - A1
Maths - A2
English - A2
German - A2
Irish - B1
Physics - B2
DCG - B2

All higher level apart from ordinary Irish.

555, up from 520 in the mocks, so I can't complain xD Hopefully things will go well on Monday now and I'll get my course

Phoenix Wright

Got 505 and I'm five points off Psychology in UL It went down from 515 to 510 last year but who knows how things will work out on Monday. If it remains at 510 then I'll be appealing as many as five results, I was confident I got a B1 in Irish and ended up with a B3 while I think I may have got an A1 in Geography as opposed to an A2 so I guess I'll just have to review and see. Otherwise it's Psychology and Sociology for me as my next choice.

Anxious and jet lagged after a holiday. It's nearly 4am and i need to be up at 6:50 because the school wants me in early to take a photo for some reason. I'm going to be on ready to die in a few hours.
