    Geography: Learned the development of Dublin city essay and the development of Paris city essay..

    German: Revised my intro and ending to a letter..

    Okay I've done as much as I think I could have.. Tomorrows exams are out of my control now :(

    Engineering: Revised question 4, Nuclear power question and question 1..

    English: Revised Macbeth, comparative and poetry..

    Might just look over some notes in the morning but that's it :P Good luck to anyone else who is doing mocks this week.. :)

    Okay I had my English paper 2 and engineering mocks today. Both of them seemed to go quite well but I'm not expecting any unbelievable results.. Just have to wait and see :)

    Tonight all that I'm going to do is:

    Geography: Read over the physical essays and two of the biome essays..
    English: Look over the different types of writing..

    Once tomorrow is over I will be a happy man :P

    Okay so I havn't been posting as much lately because I have been very very busy :) Mocks are going really well although maths was very difficult.. Just have Irish paper 2 tomorrow evening so going to take this evening rather easy :P


  • Registered Users Posts: 98 ✭✭krisfoster8


    Right so all of my mocks are finished and I havn't got any results yet.. I'm planning on keeping myself bust over my weeks holidays ut not going to burn myself out.. My German and Irish orals will be coming up now soon so I'm going to look over some of that stuff today.. I also might organise some of my notes for other subjects..

    Have a bit of extra time on my hands now so just thought I'd write a small overview of how I thought the mocks went!

    English: Was very happy with the timing on both papers.. It was probably the exam that I was looking forward to the least but I wouldn't be being unrealistic if I was to say that I think I could have possibly got a B...

    Irish: I do ordinary level in this and wont be counting it so just hoping to pass :)

    Maths: Tough, tough paper.. I would be delighted if I passed it..

    Geography: Exam went fairly well.. Timing played a factor though and I tried to stay away from any map questions as I feel that they take up too much time.. Hope to work on this for the real thing.. Hopefully I got a b in the mocks!

    Engineering: As always engineering went quite well.. I didn't really push myself studying it though.. Again, I'd be happy with a b..

    Biology: Average enough biology paper but I thought the experiments questions were quite difficult.. Just have to see what happens but again I'd like to get a b..

    Ag Science: This was my last exam so I was fairly tired by the time it came around but hopefully got a b again as the project was worth 25% and I got 24/25% :)

    Well that's it.. Just have to wait for the results now and see what happens!

    Okay so I'll be continuing this thread tomorrow.. I have only got one result back from my mocks so far.. A B3 in german which I'm delighted with.. This week all I did was go over the roleplays for the german oral.. The intensity will be back next week! :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 98 ✭✭krisfoster8


    Got all of my mock results so far except Ag science and I'm extremely happy with them..

    English (H)_______C2__65pts
    Irish (O)_________B3__35pts (Not Counted)
    Maths (H)_______C3___85pts
    Engineering (H)___A1___100pts
    Geography (H)____B1___85pts
    Biology (H)_______B2___80pts
    German (H)______B3____75pts

    That adds up to 490 points and hopefully when I get my ag science result I will break the 500 barrier.. I never expected to get results anywhere near as good as this in my mocks and if I opened these same results in August I would be over the moon.. :D

    I did a few things this evening too..

    German: Started to prepare oral by learning one of the picture sequences and the questions which I could be asked on it!

    Made out my study timetables from now until June.. Cannot wait to be finished now at this stage!
