Any but I would do it in pencil if I were you

If you are using pencil, make sure it is not a very faint one, or one that smudges, as both get worse in transit to Athlone.

Not as far as I know...knowing my luck though I'll probably get the paper tomorrow and the first question will be a theorem...:rolleyes:

But according to my exam papers there are no theorems or formula in paper 1.

I honestly have no idea how i've done in any of my exams so far. I was really hard on myself after the mocks but i ended up doing quite well. I don't want to put myself down OR be too confident so the next 3 months'll be torture

Couldnt agree with you more! I did really well in the mocks but after each Junior Cert exam I feel like I did worse! And I know I didnt do bad but at the same time I dont want to get my hopes up! Its a very confusing few weeks!!

Does anyone just not care anymore? I'm interested to see how I did but today I just realised how stupid it is to worry about them, the results will be forgetting come October

I've said that to myself all along for the whole year .But you know I'd still like to do well even though they mean FA in reality.

I understand what you mean.The only problem I have is, what do people define as good ? I'd define it as like 8A's because that what would be good personally for me but for some people C's and B's are good . I'm confused :P

Honestly I think I have become really curious as to how I have done even though until after the Maths exam I really had given up on it!:D But you are so right, we shouldnt stress out over them, we cant change the one we have done and we can only do our best here on out;)

For me it's As and Bs depends on the subject! I'd be getting high Bs tho
I think it just depends on what your expectations of yourself are

when i say do well i personally mean i want all honours, mostly Bs! I mean i was really worried about the exams but for the ones we've done, I'm pretty confident that i could get a B no bother!!

So I can conclude it's all about personal belief in what is 'good' grades

In other news you guys have to watch this video :P

That fat grey kitten gets me. Head boppin

Ya but what is good like everybody keeps telling me results don't matter and everything but I still what to do good and that for me would be 8As and nothing lower than a B but then for other people good mightn't even get be getting a A. So what's actually good in the Junior Cert. as in what's the average number of As per person then I can figure out what good is but people who tell me results don't matter and just do your best are just pissing me off I want to do good but what's good?

'Good' is the best you can do. Realistically.

Sounds like you're having a philosophical crisis
Good is doing the best you can do, for some people that's an A others it's a C
Just try your best
