lmao.

I'm pretty good at study too... I can look at somethin before an exam and I'll know it for a while.. But then I just forget it after the exam.
I could've squashed alot more study into the 2 weeks of mocks and done alot better, I think...

what is the point in even learning it just to forget it after an exam the point of learning is so that you retain the information for a later time. Its just stupid forgetting as the Leaving Cert course will build on what you have learned during the Junior Cert you are only fooling yourself if you are not working properly. and i think we were complementing PurpleFistMixer for her good work in the mocks not about yours

People seem to think I'm a guy quite a lot...
Jakkass, I don't actually study that much, tbh. I'm incredibly easily distracted, and I listen to music quite often when I do my homework/study. It's a weird freak of chance that I remember anything at all...

philologos

nice brain then but is there any subject your bad at. I kno there is always some subjects where people are naturally able to retain information (depends on the subject and how interested u are etc) like for example I seem to hold history and geography well while some other people hold science in etc so what are you bad at lol if you can find anything you dont get a B for or even a miss of an A since you are so intelligent

It's cus of the nick, sig and the whole being on a computer thing PurpleFistMixer

Got my results back today.

English 82% I would have liked to do a little better because English is one of my best subjects, but, meh... [my story was horribly corny so i'm suprised i got 63 out of 70 for that!]

maths 79% I'd like to get an A in the actual JC

Geography 76% so happy! I hate geography and I only studied for like 2 hours the night before! Yay!

History 88% The lowest I've ever gotten in history, but still an A So i'm happy.

Science 90% HAPPY! I like science so I'm glad I did well.

Business 72% In shock. I was so certain all my accounting questions went wrong, and nothing balanced...I can't believe I did so well!

CSPE 95% I got 3 questions wrong in section 1 and that was my only mistake so I am aiming for 100% in the JC. CSPE is too easy!

Irish 75% Need I say more?

I'm still waiting on French, but I know I didn't get an A because the highest in the class was 76%. I'm kind of annoyed about that because French is insanely easy.

philologos

did u get the wordsearch in CSPE

Mysteryfish

no we didn't have a word search on our paper.

Thanks. :-) Emm, I didn't really study for the mocks, but I will be for the Junior Cert. like crazy. The only ones I put a bit of extra effort in for were history and science, i read through my notes once or twice. And irish-I'm not good at irish, but my dad would kill me if i didn't do well, so i made sure i learnt off a pile of stuff for that.

I think that PurpleFistMixer, Mysteryfish and probably Flashling all go to the same school, a super-school if you will

PurpleFistMixer

Heh. My school is... not super. A couple girls who shall remain nameless managed to fail ordinary level english and geography...

Fobia

Aye but they were probably "hard girls" or "byores", no?

PurpleFistMixer

Most of my school fancy themselves as that type... but I really have no idea how they managed to do that. I looked at the ordinary geography paper. It's blatant common sense...

Fobia

Most people (both girls and guys) in most schools think it's cool to be stupid....I was on the bus a few days ago and there were some "ruffians" talking, one of them mentioned how hard a maths test was and he was quickly given a good punchup for talking about school outside of school

It's a strange culture

Some girls in my year act dumber than they are. As a way to "impress" guys, but it's stupid because now most people look down on that and I always think, why should you be ashamed that you're smart? Ultimately, doing well and being intelligent is what matters the most now and in the future. I think people forget what effect what you do now can have on your future. [except here, because we all seem like a fairly smart bunch of teens :-)]

Only sham guys care about that tbh....most guys don't care and some guys like a girl who's smart (so long as she isn't smarter than him ).

Future's can be changed at any time....what if you were killed tommorrow? Studying and getting good grades gives you the best chance of a well paid job but it's just increasing the chance, someone who fails in every subject might buy a lottery ticket and suddenly have more money than you'll make in 20 years after all the studying etc. My point is you never know what's around the corner, so why worry?

a lot of smart girls in my school are like that instead they try to make themselves look like slappers but it doesnt work as they are mingers and there are better looking girls who dont try to look like slappers

A girl gave me a weird look for talking about school things IN school one time.

They don't need to act out (by dressing down) to get attention.
