    Id love anything over 450 but if i got below that i would be disapointed and the most i can get is 560 (2 pass subjects). Oh god no, why am i thinkin about points already, if i get into what i want ill be happy *goes to search for courses that are less then 100 points*

    God I didn't know what I wanted to do till the 31st jan!

    Leaving is a lot easier than its made out 2 be!
    Just do the work and you'll be grand

    Chances are you'll get your first choice, I did comfortably...but am paying the price of doing nothin last yr and repeating first yr :o

    My first choice is either UCD or Limerick, I'm not sure yet. Probably UCD because I really want to study for a semester or so in America

    I get out plenty actually. Isnt really that hard tbh to get 450+ if you are genuinely willing to put the work in.

    like for different places in colleges and stuff!! an examiners have a quota of the amount of A's and B's and stuff that they are allowed to give out too...which i honestly think is BS!

    Yeah! Thats is absolute crap. :mad:

    My english teacher keeps saying that to us. Hes an examiner too and he says that before he even corrects any of the scripts he knows how many A's he is going to give out and he is the fairest man ever.

    Last year I only missed 2 days of school in the hole year, and this year I have not missed one day yet. I was ment to be going to Cyprus on monday for 2 weeks but I pulled out of going because I felt that I would miss too much school.

    I'm going to Australia for 3 weeks after Christmas, I'll be missing one or two weeks of school, but the holiday will be worth it
