    Did your geography teacher mention anything about the mock being too easily marked? Because I got 98% too and the teacher said that our mocks were marked too easy...:-\ I'm just curious to know because our French mocks were too easily marked as well apparently.

    Our teacher marked ours but she said that out of all the mocks the one we got was the only one without faults. She said it was too easy, she said they chose the easiest questions from each topic on the course. She said take either 5-8% from your grade and that should be your likely junior cert score.

    For final accounts you can look at videos on youtube, but also revisewise for business is good :)

    You will not be marked for spelling mistakes in History or Geography in an SEC exam.

    Are your CSPE results out of just the marks for the paper, which is worth only 40% of the real thing, or have your teachers added in some sort of mark for the project/journal?

    That might explain why so many people over-estimate what they will get in CSPE in the real thing.

    I think that's what brings a lot of people down yeah considering the actual paper is grand!

    Have got most of my mock results back. Didnt put in a lot of study before them. They average mid to high C's. With some study between now and June could I expect to bring them up to B's or have I left it a bit late?

    You could probably bring some of them up to As! obviously Irish maths things like that can be tough but for like science, history, geography do lots of exam papers and you'll be fine!

    Got Irish, English Paper 2 & CSPE back today..

    Irish 65% (19/40 Aural, 70/110 P1, 67/90 P2)
    English 28% (56% P2 hoping to stay at a C with P1)
    CSPE 96% (got the TD jobs wrong, I thought that the names directly across from their names was their position because Ruairi Quinn was the only one I know...5/8 marks on that question, everything else 100%)

    Just a reminder not to be getting carried away with the mock results. A little exam called the Junior Cert isn't too far away. Just because you got an 'A' in the mock, does by no means guarantee that is what the result will be come September. The SEC run a whole different ball game to the likes of DEB and Examcraft, with respect to both the content of the exam and the way in which they are corrected.

    That often happens if you have crammed. It might help when you are studying an area, to study a small section and then check yourself with a number of exam papers to see could you answer questions on that area.

    Thanks a mill. Got B in Irish and A in Home Ec very pleased with these. Shall do exam papers for science history and geography. Would this also help me with business and french or is there anything else I should try. Just missed the C in English. My essay let me down. Find it so hard to do a good essay within the time. Thought about learning one off and using the opening and closing paragraphs to make it suit. Not sure how that would work? All advice welcome as Im all set for some "serious" study.

    The business Revisewise is brill as is the French one! French is mainly just doing the papers, practicing letters etc. business is trickier try starting off by mastering the gust rented questions then go from there, I'm useless it at it so not a lot of help! If you think learning it off would benefit you and you're really stuck for time you could try it but really I'd advise just trying to speed up and don't write too much (2 pages is enough!)
