Yeah, same with my French teacher, she was great but she left (think she's coming back though?) a few months before the JC and I really missed her

Right, on my lunch break. I feel a lot better about my results .

I'm going to re-check my English paper, what is going to exactly happen? and what will happen if the marks were added wrong etc? Will my English teacher be able to attend? and what happens if my english teacher disagrees with the marks not given to me etc ...? Just curious as all my teachers and friends told me to re-check it .

Dude, they would have to be living in Ireland for only a few years to be exempt or dyslexic and trust me, dyslexic people can't get A's in History, French and English

A girl in my year is exempt from Irish for being Polish. She moved here in first class. Also a girl in my year has dyslexia but worked her a** off to make sure she did all honours subjects in her junior cert and she came out with an A in History and English, and all Bs and Cs. Don't just assume because someone's dyslexic they're automatically doomed at school.

Stooped

I might get history and classics rechecked. Thought I did good in them coming out of the exam but I got a D in both of them.

My friend wants to get her English test re-checked too because she came out with a D and it's so unlike her! Since first year she's always gotten As and Bs in every English test and she felt confident about her English test! It was a serious shook for everyone to see her get a D in it! Our English teacher was out yesterday but she's going to ask her about it on Friday

If you look for a recheck, your paper gets sent to a new corrector. Your English teacher is not involved.
If you are basing how you think you should have done on how your English teacher was marking you during the year, make sure they are an experienced SEC corrector, otherwise they may not be marking to the standard at all.

My English teacher has 20+ odd years of experince in English, he corrected JC and LC papers, and works in the Institute. I just guess I was just out of luck.

I am not born in Ireland, and my parents are not Irish nor English, and I do Higher Level Irish. A teen I know, he's Irish, and has Irish parents, has no brain dis-order, yet, he is excused from Irish.

Imaginary Friend

I was thrilled with my results when I got them, a little more meh now that I'm off that high but still pretty content, to be honest I didn't deserve an A in Geography xD

English, Irish, Maths, Science, History, French, Religion, CSPE - A

Geography, Music - B

So yeah, 8 As and 2 Bs, I'm delighted with that

The opposite sort of happened to me. I got 47% in the Christmas test for English then 40% for mocks then I left out literally no kidding, I left out half of paper 2 for the JC because I am a slowpoke (all of studied poetry, bit of unseen, I think all of studied drama and a bit of unseen fiction) then a true miracle happened, I'm almost certain that my examiner corrected my paper wrong because I got a C when I clearly deserved a D. Very Very Very pleasant surprise, I did ZERO STUDY for the mocks and for the JC and left out half of Paper 2 for the mocks and JC then I end up with a C. HOW ON EARTH SERIOUSLY!!

Out of interest, is it possible to get some sort of ranking of how you did? I'd just like to know if I'm in the top 500/1000/whatever students this year. I think I did the best in my school, but I haven't heard from everybody.

As far as I know if you're in the top 500 student in a subject you get a letter for an award so you would have probably already gotten that by now if you were going to be. I doubt the really do rankings like that for the whole junior cert though because everyone does a different amount of subjects and different subjects so there's really no way to compare two junior certs unless they do the exact same subjects and levels.

Irish - C (knew it wouldnt be good :P)
English - A
Maths - B
History - B (very disappointed considering i got over 90's every other exam including mocks)
Geography - A
French - A
Business - B (also disappointed as usually good at business plus did an extra long question in both papers)
Music - B
Science - B (disappointed, usually A)
CSPE - B (come on :P)
Religion - B (thought i did well...)

2 A's, 8 B's and a C

Overall, pretty disappointed. I know a lot would be happy with that but I was aiming more for 6 A's. Some of my friends who I'm usually better than got around the same or better. I'm consistently top of my class and now I feel that I'm not really an that a lot more did better. My history teacher suggested i might get History checked, not that it matters, but that I usually get A's and he said i deserve it. He said last year he had 10 A's in his class but this year there were only 3 and that a lot of B's should have been A's. Oh well, its not like it matters, other than to us personally and its not gonna effect me later in life. I guess i probably could have done more study too...

Ah well, putting it out of my head. Lunch in an hour or so with my family and then going out, tonight should be fun anyway, pick my spirits up

That's 3 A's and 7 B's in your list though?

A97

I'm not looking for a numbered list per se. I'd just like to know how many students got 11, 10 and 9 A's just to see how I compared.

Regarding top scores, I have no idea how they work. I know that they do a Science Olympiad, but I presume that nobody has been contacted yet since I've heard nothing all over the country.

The SEC should be able to supply that info if you drop them an email.
Many of their staff have their annual holiday now, following the frenzy that is getting the LC and JC results out, so you might be waiting for a reply. That said, you might not be - worth trying anyway.

for those disappointing with their result really the Jc is totaly unrelated to the lc i only got 2 As and 5 Bs with 1 C in my jc which was the kick i needed to start working for my LC came out with 610 in the end while my friend who got 8 As is now repeating after getting 510

Too bad the teachers in my school don't realize that. They're splitting us up in Irish, Maths, French and in Biology (not chemistry though) according to our grades which really bothers me because I'm forced to do 2 science subjects and I got a C in the JC and I also got a C in French and also now my Chemistry teacher hates me because of my C in the subject. Why can't 5th year just be turning over a new leaf and just forgetting about the JC OR THEY COULD HAVE ATLEAST WARNED US FROM 2ND/3RD YEAR TO STUDY FOR THOSE SUBJECTS BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING SPLIT UP ACCORDING TO OUR JC GRADES... Uh.. Anyways off to study the heck out of my Chemistry notes because now I "have to get an A in every test we get" to make sure that I'm capable of doing it for Leaving Cert
