If I got about 83-84%, do you think there is any chance they'd bump me up to an A or are they really strict about that?

Ive been told by teachers that they would and no-ones ever told me they wouldn't so Id say yes

No they dont.They do it on marks not percentages for example to get an A you have to get 213/250 marks.

absolutely praying for an A. predicting my marks would leave me just under an A. I will be thinking about it all summer

i dont think they would. i got about 5-6 84% in the mocks. My teachers showed no mercy :eek:

I'm coming in at (roughly) 75% if I guess my marks..hoping I get a B, but still wouldn't be disappointed with a C because that's what I thought I'd get initially.

It depends. If for some reason there was a much lower than usual number of A grades, then examiners might be instructed to look back and see can they find a couple more marks if you are on the equivalent of 84%.

Anyone think the SEC might be generous with the maths paper tomorrow and not be horrible like the mock paper?

Praying to God it's not reminiscent of the horrendous mock paper! I swear I will have a panic attack if it is!

How can you even remember even to guess your marks? Dunno what I got right, how someone would mark etc. leave it behind ye till September lads

What is the total marks including the oral ?

Going by my predictions I've gotten about 80 % in Paper 1 and about 53% in Paper 2

So that's 173/240 marks which is 72%

My predictions may be a bit optimistic (For paper 2 at least) :P

I'd say I got around 35% out of the 40% for the oral so hopefully I can scrape a B. That would be amazing for me :pac:

It's bout fairies (I think) and giants/trolls. Rósmáire's mother (leader of the fairies or something) was killed by the leader if the giants. Rósmáire gets friendly with her brother's friend and goes to his house and they go swimming and stuff and then go up to his room to play a computer game and when Rósmáire is up there she realises the friend is actually the leader of the giants (she smells the giant smell off him or something...kinda weird but idk :L) and she realises he tricked her so he could kill her. She tries to escape and then her grandad and her brother appear.

Weird enough story and I definitely preferred the unseen prós last year...

Don't feel too bad, I heard someone in my year saying they just copied "The Hobbit" comprehension for that one.... Don't bother worrying!!

Why did it have to be specifically about a person in filíocht?! I had the perfect answer for a mouse

Will I get much marks taken off me if I used the word "guirlini" instead of "greimeanna" for stitches?
