Yeah these kind of things happen. Just be grateful that it's only the mocks and in the actual jc someone else (hopefully fairer and better) will be marking your paper. 62% is still really good. Aim for that B

Exam papers are the way to go. The level of questions for maths in the textbook is nothing compared to the level in the exam papers. How did u do in the rest of ur subjects

For Irish, learn off a story of something that happened to you or someone else (usually an acident). Practice letter writing on topics such as sport, the Internet, music, TV and a talent show. Have answers for the prós and the filíocht learned off (learn off answers for two poems and two short stories and know the different themes/feelings in each one). Also, make sure you know your tenses and irregular verbs.

Well done for getting 85% in Maths!

Thanks so much!! You don't know how much you've helped. Any idea how to improve on the unseen comprehension/ poetry and listening. Thanks again:D

For the listening, pratice as much as you can. I haven't got my Irish mock results yet, but I think I probably lost my A because of the unseen things. I haven't done much of then yet, but my teacher will most likely go through them soon. I think you have to pratice them a lot as well.

Thats all my results in the mocks. Quite frankly, im very disappointed as my results were terrible, especially maths. I want to continue with higher,but im afraid I might fail. All my teachers (Except my French and English and Geography) are diobolical, and i'm seriously considering moving schools. Does anyone have any advice for me?

Those grades are great!! And most of my class got a D in maths you can move up to a C maybe even a B with the work! There is absolutely no point moving schools, start studying asap and you'll be find

Thanks , I think i'll start getting grinds. I'm just so frustrated by that D. Did you get attempt marks on your maths paper(s) ?

Soz for the late reply. Anyway if you've looked around other jc forums loads of people say the way to study maths is exam papers.THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. I thought it may seem pointless at first, but get yourself some edco exam papers, do the question and look up the answer on examit.ie. Write in whatever you got wrong and make sure to read over your corrections now and then. Not sure if it works for everyone, but sure it got me the highest in my year. Hope I helped!

Ohmigod...90% in music???!!! Wow...how do you study for music? I need to do so much work in it it's actually not even funny...:-\

pizzamad

My teacher summarised all our learning into 10 sheets and it was great!!
For music its pretty easy:
For q1 and 2 know your set songs and works inside out. Know composer,form,texture,2 features etc.
For Q3 know all the irish dances, features of irish music, and basically all of irish music. Know the belfast harp festival, a collector and harpist and basically just revise all past questions.
For Q4 its dictation and practice makes perfect (literally)! Use your exam papers and do a dictation question every few nights, you will become very good.
For Q5 its practice again but also for part A and B you need to know your chosen works and songs with their composer (if theres one), and two features. You'll see with past exam papers. The same for the unseen bit or the unheard listening, all you need is practice.

If you do Q6,7,8 which i recommend, practice again with exam papers and know the bass clef, how to build chords, how to write a melody and rhythm.
And for Q10 know your general study. The general study question has never changed so its an almost guaranteed twenty marks. All you need is the name of your general study, the category, two pieces and composers or performers and 3 features. All I did was learn and few points and waffle and I got 20/20 in the mocks.

I know I've sorta ranted but thats basically how to study music hahaha! It really isnt that bad once you know what to know. Also the pracitcal is 25% which is good. If you want anything else answered feel free to ask :-)
