    only like 7 people in our class passed and we all though we were good at it.. was it just marked tough or is business actually that hard to do well in?

    hate to make you feel bad but im pretty sure it has the highest a rate outta all of the subjects

    was wkd hard i only got 69 and i thought id get at least a b or more

    pretty vague question seeing as there are so many mock papers and they have much looser marking schemes than the exam commission ones...

    and tara,statistically business has a very bad A rate but a quite high B/C rate

    i think greek had the highest A rate with 2 people sitting it and both getting an A1 (easy if your greek i suppose),other than that applied maths seems to have an extremely high A rate, some papers printed tables on this after the results last year so a google will probly bring it up




    ps 69 is one percent away from a B :p

    HA! 1% of a B tara not so bad concidering most of our class got D's and i got the lowest at 41% beside the person who failed . higher business is gunna be rough way worse than economics

    27 in the class only 10 passed

    its a mixture of pass and honours only one class

    i got d1

    trust me it will be bad if u haven't studied, i studied myself, dropped out of the class to do it myself.

    Aswel i wouldn't bothered getting my business exam rechecked, it is nearly ALWAYS correctly marked because the marking scheme is so definite, like maths really.

    Do everything in points. The way u answer a question can affect ur grade seriously.

    i got 51% hoping for a c or b but yea if ya don;t know your stuff like all subjects it hard to do well in, people have habit of just waffling in business and they think they done well but most of it is just waffle do make valid points

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 176 ✭✭Cherry_Pie


    Yeah it was an external exam! I got a B1 in the leaving last year in Business so Im hoping for the same again or higher! But I thought our mock was a bit easy as I didn't have time to study for it , I was concentrating on Chem and Irish and still did ok! Im really curious about other mocks short questions!!
