    A good friend of Coeur's recently committed suicide, and was almost resuscitated too. He made a few posts about it afterwards but hasn't been on since. Just hope he's doing okay, it must be really tough to deal with.

    "I got 700 points without doing anything!!! The lc is sooo easy" turns out then that they're only in 3rd year... :L

    Ah you'll be fine! Sure "it's only a mock" :P are you not very mathematical? :)

    Weirdly yes, if it was a regular maths paper I wouldn't have a worry, I can work an A no problem. It's my safety subject:)

    I think there's more learned method in Applied Maths.
    It's the learned part that gets me.
    I should go learn it:o

    Poor Coeur! And all that person's family and friends for that matter.

    Far too bloody many young people taking this road.

    Altho that's a bit off..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,784 ✭✭✭Superbus


    For some reason, I get the feeling that Project Maths will cause a bit of a scandal this year during the LC. Nothing too serious, but controversial on a 'mothers ringing up Joooooooooooooe Duffeh' level. Like when English P.2 was accidentally handed out or there was that thread on here about cheating.

    And this comforts me. Because everyone will pass or there'll be trouble with a capital T.

    I don't like it!
    Yes, I can do it, I'd probably be better at the old course though.
    I find all the explaining stuff to be stupid,
    also my teacher takes marks off me for not writing out every step of such a question, I tend to do most calculations in my head and just write down an answer. That really annoys me, I get less marks because I'm good at maths:confused:
    It's a pretty stupid concept, at least we still have Paper 1.
    The writing parts are stupid but I don't think in numbers y'know:pac:

    I want an A1 in French and an A2 or higher in English, Irish and geography - dunno how doable that is, but I'll get an idea with Irish on Monday after my oral :( I'd like a B2+ in business, a C3 in maths but i'd be happy to get a D3 tbh, and for history I just dont care. :pac:
    At the same time I want to get over 500 so I could live if I got 6 B1s I guess :P

    I'm hoping to get B1s in my four honours subjects english, geography , business and economics then a c3 in maths ordinary and then french C/D . I need to do more work to achieve these grades in some of them.
    I'm probably around a high C-B level in english or business then the rest C's then French and maths I'm at a D level but maths is slowly getting there :).

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 358 ✭✭mcpaddington


    Right lads, this will be my last post on boards until the 20th of June. I'll be locking my pc away right after this post.

    I haven't done a single second of studying for the leaving, I still felt I did average for the mocks however getting 390 points. With less than 8 weeks until the leaving my studying is long overdue, with that I'm locking myself up for the following ten weeks until the leaving is over and I'll hopefully come out the other side feeling decent about myself.

    I'd just like to wish everyone the best of luck in these final few weeks and hope you all get on the best. I hope to see you all happy on the other side!

    Go mbeidh an t-ádh oraibh!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,813 ✭✭✭Togepi


    I really really want an A1 in French and Irish. I kind of need to get at least a B1 again in English. :( And then I want an A in Phys/Chem, and would love a B3 in Maths. For DCG, I don't really know. I did an A standard project, but I'm crap at the drawing side. Hopefully at least a B2 if I really knuckle down at it.

    Lots of work to do. :o

    Edit: Wow, that'd be 555.
    Note to self: Work hard and you'll be delighted in August!
