My English teacher is always telling us about a girl who got an A1 with a story where she wrote from the point of view of a dog. :pac:

Pfft, noob. Try writing from the point of view of a speck of dirt.

"They walked all over me, but I'll show them, someday I'll get under their fingernails, and they shall receive no mercy from this proud speck of dirt."

Mysteriouschic · 04-06-2012 11:28pm

Isit a bad thing that I rememeber the Hamlet quotes much more just by watching this? This does count as studying right? :pac:

leaveiton · 04-06-2012 11:31pm

My brother got something like 475, my course was that last year so it's graaaand :P Dunno what my sister got but it was lower than my brother anyway.

Speck of dust? Your passive nature bores the beholder.

Try an atom.
"My electrons have a degree of uncertainty which renders me unable to measure their velocity and position simultaneously. Apart from this inner turmoil, my nucleus contradicts itself, consisting of a neutrons and protons. My life is rendered more depressing as my positive charge bears no influence on the electrons who orbit like flies pestering cows."

Togepi · 04-06-2012 11:34pm

My highest-achieving brother (in the Leaving Cert) told me I wouldn't beat him. This was the day before the results, the same time he also explained to me that the most important thing was beating all of your relatives. :pac:

I beat him by 5 points. :cool:

Cruel Sun · 04-06-2012 11:36pm

I want to get 480 to beat the sisters by 5, I just want to beat her result couldn't care less about the rest tbh.

and I haven't got a chance.

deathbythelc · 04-06-2012 11:36pm

My oldest sibling is 9 years younger than me, so I'm graaaaaaaand. I'm gonna be the smartest for a good while yet!

Joey. · 04-06-2012 11:37pm

It's great being an only child, no pressure

(I wish!)

Sibling rivalry is the best motivation...
I beat my sisters so far with the mocks and then my highest achieving sis ruined it by saying I may beat her points wise but I would never beat her A1 in english ...

reznov · 04-06-2012 11:37pm

I hope the theme of Chemistry comes up in English.

Ah, analysing a comprehension from a chemistry text book.

leaveiton · 04-06-2012 11:38pm

Just in case the bunny didn't work for de-stressifing, here is a puppy.

You'd be sorted.

(Not that you wouldn't be with any other theme that is. :pac:)

Eathrin · 04-06-2012 11:41pm

My brother got 520 in his Leaving Cert and has always maintained that he is smarter than me. Despite this we are polar opposites.
He works EXTREMELY hard for his grades, he kinda hates me for the way I do it :P
Beating him will just be a nice touch.
Also I think that that would be the highest of all of my relatives too. Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Parents...520 is beyond rare in our family!

Ha for the Junior Cert I asked my brother to help me with Science seeing as I was crap at it and he was studying it in college.

The only words of wisdom he gave me were "I got an A in Science" and "I got 100% in the Science Christmas test in first year." :pac:

You can match her A1 AND beat her points-wise if you write an essay on Pokémon.

:P

Cruel Sun · 04-06-2012 11:45pm

Will people still go on here after the LC.

finality · 04-06-2012 11:45pm

I dunno what the highest LC points in my family was. Pretty sure if I get 500 I'll have the highest, that's important like.

BUT I WANT TO REPEAT MY MOCKS POINTS ;_;

Mysteriouschic · 04-06-2012 11:45pm

I'm an only child . No one to get more or less than me

.
No rivalries .

I beat all 3 sisters with the junior cert but I was always kinda the smart one in the family :P I could never beat her A1 in english, I'm not good at it at all and she knows that ... like I'm not even gonna be counting it I'm that bad :P ha maybe point wise :P haha an essay on pokemon would be epic though :P I'll dedicate it to you :P

I am actually ****ting it now, I am so under prepared for the English papers. I only really know Plath fairly well, the comparative a fair bit and nothing on Hamlet.

And I've been studying since like 12.

Yes but you successfully travelled back in time 12 whole minutes.

He's an Entrepreneur managing to spot a market gap on which he can capitalise on by selling time travelling machines. It is important however that he develops a marketing mix which will be customer focused, meeting and exceeding their expectations. I could be inc charge of sales promotion and advertising. You can ensure that the product is able to pass the necessary quality controls such as ISO 9000 and Q-Mark.

Nooooooooooooooo, examiners correct in red/green and it annoys them. Apparently it's best just to do them in the same colour you're writing with.

ISO 9002 is also correct. The quality standards are generally grouped into the one category

Desk research is quite beneficial in this case, saving me time and allowing me too spend less Capital on conducting face to face interviews.

He will have to make sure to prolong the maturity stage of the product life cycle which is most profitable as the brand has gained recognition through the growth stage (due to large amounts of advertising). When it reaches the decline stage, the marketing manager must decide whether to pump money back into advertising or to let the product die out and be a cash cow.

Yes but be careful the research isn't outdated Reznov, perhaps some primary research would be more appropriate.

Perhaps they could simply redesign the products packaging to entice customers to purchase it? Or even market abroad. Although that in itself will raise challenges in terms of channels of distribution and appealing to different copultures while maintaining legislation.
I really recommend licensing at that point however. Franchising will be too bothersome as he may have to provide support and advice to ensure success of his brand in the eyes ol loyal consumers.

This is starting to get serious now:eek: . At least english and not maths first.
Definitely spending most time on english tomorrow although paper 1 not too much of a problem. I might practice a speech for the QBs or just watch a few.
