So how did everyone do? So far I've gotten Bs in Engligh, Irish, French (5 more marks and I'd have had an A >.<), German, Music, Science and Geography C in Maths A in CSPE Still waiting on Religion and History results. I think I got Bs in them too. I'm hoping I go up a grade in all those Bs for June :)

Last year's JC group met up during the summer, although they were a tighter-nit group with a bunch of them knowing each other from CTYI.

Im going on holidays on the 23rd of june for 2 weeks so i wont be back till mid july. Sure everybody else is going off on their hols aswell.Even though it has nothing to do with the forum where are you going on holidays? Also this is to do with the forum where would we all meet up if we were to? everyone lives around the country eg. i live in cork

ah sorry for asking The irish society for talented youths. I heard of it. They have courses during the summer in UCC. Lilmissprincess are you in it? Is it just academic? Some people who are really smart dont join those things. Im talented at science especially microbiology because i did my young scientist project in 2005 on probiotics in a group. I knew a lot about microbiology beforehand though. And we got 3rd prize in our junior section of the biological and ecological sciences.

Well eh they have a similar thing in UCC. You do courses like archaeology , computers etc. You must do an entrance exam before you are allowed in.I t could be the same thing or maybe not.

Nah, I'm not in CTYI, its sounds like fun but I'd fail the Maths thing quicker than you could say "CTYI". Apparently the Maths is tricky.
My friend is goijng there though.

You can get in on the verbal section alone, actually, it just means you're restricted to some of the courses. They've got like, humanities courses (say, Japanese Language and Culture) and sciences courses (Theoretical physics), so if you get in on verbal only you can only do humanities courses, etc.

Sometimes they overlook your SAT results for courses and once you're in ,you're in, I've known Science people to do Humanities courses and vice versa.

That was funny last year how the JC Board meet was so very quickly dominated by CTYIzens

F*cking hell, how did you people get such good results?

I did mine last year and nearly everyone failed or almost failed. The actual results were totally different though, nearly everyone got all honours.

Anyone who's not insanely smart, and failed a few subjects, don't worry about it at all... It's a bad reflection of your LC grades, nearly everyone does much better.

All higher level

Irish B Official
English A Official
Maths A Teacher-made
French B Official
History A Teacher-made
Geography B Official
Technical Drawing A Teacher-made
Business B Official
CSPE B(Oh noes!) Official
Science(new course but without Part A and B- jsut written exam) B Teacher-made

All exams were teacher-corrected except for CSPE.

Hopefully get 6As, 4Bs in JC, to get the same as my brother, though I had a few grades close to Cs in the mocks.

Oh?

I remember hearing that before but I had always thought that the Department of Education made them. Well, at least they retain the exam stucture and general mark allotment, as opposed to some of my teachers that left out chunks of the course that hadn't been covered yet.

No, its companies that model them on what the other exams are. The new Science ones are modelled from the department sapmle and the textbook questions, and tehy are unbelievably hard. I hope the real thing is a hell of a lot easier...

Meh, there's a free 35% to fall back on. They'll apparently be marked easier as we're the first year to get it.

Although, if they check my lab book I'm screwed. I wasn't told it had any use till third year, and by them half the pages were missing and ink was all over it. I'd say I have about 10/30 experiments done up and none are dated...

I love Science!!! Did you see the thing in the Irish Independent? It gave a guide as to how the science paper is marked. And the 35% isn't that hard to get, you just have to make sure you have all the experiments filled in, and the journal done. Diagrams are good- you get loads of marks for them. Erm.... Make sure you know the definitions (those boxes marked in the books) because people did really badly in them when they were testing the paper, so they'll be asking loads. They're worth 6 marks each, too, so they're an easy way to pick up marks. Study the experiments, and make sure to read what you're writing- you could leave out something important (like saying 'put the irregular shaped object in an overflow can and use a graduated cylinder to measure what comes out'. What's wrong? You've forgotten to mention the water.) If you've got a diagram, the examiner will be able to see what you mean and will give you the marks.

Sorry, that's really long. Hope it helps anyway.

I may as well give my results-

English- B
Irish- B
Maths- C
History- A
Geography- B
French- B
Science- A
CSPE- B
RE- A
Music- B (really pissed off with that...)
Art- B

I know my art has gone up, hopefully everything else will too!! (^^,)

Twinklestar 15, u well n the hed??? U love science? I hate science!!! Its def the worst subject soo hard. Jus scraped the B in the mock, nd I was lucky!!

Ya I got the thing in the independant for all the help it gave me! I didnt think it was much cop tho. I av studted science soo much nd its jus no good. I read&learned the book like 4 times bfore the mock, nd about the same again afta, no point at all!

mock results - (al higher)
6 A's : english, maths, history, c.s.p.e, homec, nd business studies.
4 B's: french, geography, science and irish

I was v happy wit most of them!

I'm the same as Jello, I'm doing the old Science Syllabus. Probably my favourite subject, but I'm a geek. I can see why some people mightn't like it, some of the equations are difficult, but that's all I find hard about it. I got 81% in my mock. I've been doing really well over the last while, so I think I'll do well on the real thing.

May I just say WHOA! about your results! They're really good!! But if you really hate science, then there's no point. If you're planning on giving it up, then devote more of your time to subjects that you're planning on keeping. It's what I'm doing with geography and CSPE. But a B is really good, anyway. And yes, I am perfectly sane (well, it depends on who you talk to- *I* think I'm perfectly sane. But apparently only insane people think they're sane. Sorry, I'll stop waffling).

haven't got back Science(teacher correcting and is as lazy as f'ck) + metalwork(be happy with two percent).

Quite happy for my standards. I'll improve english, french, Irish, geogarphy and business(we hadn't covered quite a bit) no doubt. Bit worried about maths but gonna have grinds shortly.

It was the first history test i EVER passed. Teacher is a tit who can't control the class so we don't learn anything.
