Just so you all know, only about 9% of students get 500+ points in the leaving cert. Only 0.1% get 600-625. So just to put things into perspective
Average score across the country is 330. About 30% of students get between 400-500.
The 9% over 500 doesn't include bonus points for maths though. That would probably put the actual figure at closer to 15% with 500+ as there are quite a few who get around 510-520 counting maths.
I also don't think you're accurate saying 0.1% get 600-625. Of a cohort of 55000, that would mean only 55 people would get points in that bracket and approximately 150 people got 625 last year as far as I remember. I recall reading that 0.3% of people got the full 625 in 2013.0 -

As a repeat, I get "sure you know it all already you should be getting 6 a1s" or "sure you learned that in 5th year" ... As if a 5 page long history essay that I learned 2 years ago is still in my brainAnybody else here need really high points for their course? Im sick of listening to people telling me that Ill be fine, and that anything over 500 is great and I should be greatful for what I get, but thats such bull****!! Ill be happy if I get my first choice, and I dont care if, say, 470 is brilliant to them, if I got that Id be heartbroken because its 100 points less than what I need!
Does anybody else have to deal with this sort of ignorance? Its doing my head in being told 'ah sure you'll do brilliant anyway, stop giving out that you didn't get an A in such and such subject' ><
Nearly there guys head down it'll come and go quickly try your hardest but get some sleep too 0 -

There's a lad in my year repeating but he hasn't done any work at all this year and got something like 40 points in the mocks. Dunno why he bothered repeating then didn't put in the work.
I admire anyone who does repeat though, fair play to you hope you get the results you want and deserve this year 0 -

Thank you
Ya I've seen loads of people on boards who say they haven't worked this year but they'll def work next year
doesn't work like that, you still have to be a hard working student, a lot of independent learning(teaching self poets/sraith pictiurs etc)
Saying that, it's not the worst year in the world, so if it doesn't work out I would advise people tokeep it as an option. I'm really glad I didn't settle for a course.0 -

I'm not writing that!
Not on all of them, anyway.Calvin Leong wrote: »We got ours just before heading out on the sauce for grad night, so we didn't do any of that (still had to pay €10 for it). Instead, we all signed names on our school shirts!
We only got them in after grad and it was €20
Do you not have to wear your uniform during the LC?I just wrote 'Good luck and have a great summer!' in 99% of them :rolleyes:
I might have to resort to that.0 -

Was thinking schools would give em as a grad present...y'know, for all those years in school and paying them a compulsory voluntary contribution every year..
