Leaving Cert --- : )

Spunog UIE

Lo All,
for those of you who don't know/care the ol' results are out on Wednesday, anyhew i was wondering where excatly on the net can you check your results or that phone no. thingy, they gave me the bloody card with the info on it just before a test and i threw it somewhere, needless to say i lost the bloody thing. Sooooooooo does anyone else know ?

AFAIK those numbers do be dead busy, and they're charged at like £1.50 per minute..

Farls

the site you get the results is http://www.examinations.ie , i haven't looked into it much yet but AFAIK you need your examination number and another pin number which was on that sheet that you were given...also i have the sheet here beside me and just reading thru it it states that if you loose your pin number you will not be supplied with a new one...Basta*ds... if its any addition to you the fone number you ring is 1530 719 290 and its 25p a min!

you need your pin number for these things tho by the looks of it along with your examination number so looks like your going to have to go into your school and collect your results OR you could just wait an extra day or two for them to be posted to your house and your parents can collect them...tough situation mate!

I feel sick..

Will there be any mass suicide cults I can join that day?

Life sucks, but does it swallow?

ahh leaving cert day is great!!!
once you get them its straight down to the nearest pub for a great **** up.

Farls

If theres a suicide cult on please put up a post i'm sure i'd have the credentials to join come wednesday!

Leaving Cert. day is great....if you've passed and most importantly got what you wanted (had your heart set on more to the point).

Its also so good this is my second time doing it so i can't afford for it to be a bad day!...altho having said that i found the physics paper (higher) very hard when i done it in June.

How many ppl excactly on this board are awaiting the results and if theres a **** up where abouts is it going on?...hehe

Farls

The right way, the wrong way and MY way!

sickle

i didnt get what i wanted,but then again i didnt give a ****.
stop worrying!!!!
there is soo much out there to do,so many plc's if you do do that badly,which i doubt you will,
the ones that worry the most always do good,that annoys me!
**** off the lot of ya!

Stephen

I'm awaiting my results... But I never got this mysterious piece of paper with a pin number on it at any stage. Gah, guess I'll be heading into the school (for the last time, wh00t) on Wednesday morning then.

Lads don't get yourself worked up over the leaving cert.

Remember

If you really have to repeat a year is not that long.

There are backdoors into every course in the country.

Nothing is as bad as it seems.

Don't delay opening the envolope just rip it open and look. If you delay you will just overbuild it.

and at the and of the day it's not how many points you get it's how drunk you get after that all that really ever counts.

Enjoy it lads

I'm glad I've got mine over with by a few years! The ****up afterwards is one of the best you'll ever have.

Then Gardaí are saying that they are having a hugh clampdown on underage drinking for the Day so it might be harder than in previous years.

You've used your luckn now it's time to live with the consequences!

i went to my school to get my results (AFAIK, there was no online results checker last year), but i got my CAO college thingy on the net.

and gl to all gettin the results.

Lads I have to say don't get all worked up over the results. I did my Leaving a good few years ago, and I actually failed it. I couldn't be bothered repeating it and did a sales course. I eventually did a cousre out in Loughlinstown for PC maintenance and Networks and am now a Project Manager with a large IT company in Europe earning big moolah!!

It all boils down to a bit of cop-on and if you can prove you can do a job it beats the pants out of a piece of paper IMHO.

Best of luck to you all..

Spunog UIE

not afraid at all of the old results which is scarey in its-self. weird maybe it will hit later on but then again never hit when i was doing the tests.

The main thing thats niggling at my mind now is the fact that i've also managed to loose and id i had ffs. ARG. don't want hassel in pubs etc' although i usually don't but with everyone else headin out and lookin lke muppets ya never know. CRAP

Stephen

Glad I did transition year ... which makes me almost 19 now

Aww phew! the parents council just issued the helpline number....and its free phone.

Spunog UIE

And that no. would be?



I did the ol' transition yr too, still get hassel over id tho. Probally will till i'm OLD OLD OLD.

pat kenny

What time do your school get the results at?
I might pop on in and see how everyone got on and how I got on.

Don't stop movin to the S-club beat!!!!!

Supercell

I remember lc results day, i was a smartass and thought it would be cool to meet up with another smart ass and arrive in the afternoon.
So i didn't sleep the night before (sneeked out the back garden for a couple of smokes..which my parents didn't know i did)..and never slept.

Being a wise ass i managed to make it to daylight, hopped on my cycle and pedelled like mad to school, the other arrogant b'tard was already there, lmao..ahh the memories.
Good luck ppl, its the most stressful thing ever you will probably do( ie wait), my sympathies go out to ye, just enjoy the night after..

GreenHell

erra ****it its too late to do anything about the lc now. So screw the *******s if they think there going to make me panic.

/me scampers off to a dark corner

*sob*

Steven

[clichés] The way I see it, it's too late to do anything about it now. There's no sense in worrying about something that's beyond your control. Think positively. If the worst happens you could always [/clichés] repeat.

GreenHell

best cliche " It doesn't matter how you've done" !!!!!!

irishguy

what time are the results out?

Spunog UIE

i was kinda wonderin the same thing, no one seems to know. But a handful guessin that it be in the schools about 10ish and then on net a bit later... :S i don't really know for sure.

Asok

I like cake , and as for the lc results i`m not a bit bothered cause i couldnt write 4 da lc and had to get a scribe so i`m gonna repeat cuz it would eat at me dat i didnt give it my best shot indeed eat at me like CAKE CAKE I SEZ!!! (ok mite be a bit edgy)

Few hours to go guys... woo hoo! college days beckon!

Shinji

Cliched but true: in the long run, this doesn't matter a damn. I did my leaving cert two years ago, and can quite genuinely only remember one result (my A in English, I was quite proud of that. It's the only result I have on my CV too, since I doubt any employers would CARE about what a journalist got in leaving cert physics).

I didn't even bother collecting the results actually. I would have had to take a day off work to do so, which would have been a pain in the behind - got my dad to ring me to tell me how I did, shrugged and went back to work. I did go for "a few" beers later mind

Anyone genuinely shítting bricks over this has been taken in by the ludicrous pressure applied on people by the media, parents and teachers. Teachers who give students the whole "most important thing you'll ever do" spiel need to be brought out and shot for massively damaging misinformation.

Winning Hand

Ah, even though I did my leaving cert last year I have to watch the cao points/offers like a hawk, I have a 20 point gap but my fear is the correcters will bend over backwards to accomodate this years students thus shafting me in my college application. Day of my leaving cert results was a laugh indeed, regardless of results most people were in the best of form.

Good luck to the lot of yez, if you lose me my place and force me to go to dublin ill come after ya

Farls

I repeated so its Fooking massive important i do ok!...from what i can mind of last year the results will b in schools ready for opening around 10am and they'll be on the net at 12pm. The net wasn't an option last year.

1800 26 51 65 is the number to ring if you want advice or anything its free also and i dont want to give EIRCON a plug here but it has to b said.

have to agree with the comment about teachers who tell you its the biggest thing in your life ever should be shot...my ideas for tomorrow is....check out the score on the net see how i done...if i done anything respectable i'll go into the school and b the bad bast*rd they spent the last 6 years making me out to be!

good luck ppl

Lads when you get into college youll realise how **** easy the LC is.

Nothing to worry about, if you do get in to college do sixth year again, repeat the leaving cert and youll get into medicine guarenteed.

College is far different from learing about
x^2-8x+12.

ffs you have proffessors lecturing you talkin absolute shi^te.

Yeah... one of them is "getting older"...

I think I'm going to use that particular backdoor and go back to college as a mature student on an evening course myself...

Best of luck to all in the leaving cert, by the way... I remember those days well.

I did pretty crap on the LC myself and was gonna repeat, but I noticed a course in Castlebar that I already had the points for (it was sub 200 the year before I applied ).

Funny enough, it was a computing course, and there was me never having used a PC before in my life...

I remember some muppet working in a computer shop somewhere advising me not to do the course .... what a muppet

Anyways I did well in college after all that... (though I did repeat the LC English exam which I had failed, just to have the pass)

So go get pi$$ed, get your gf pi$$ed, and then introduce me.

Got the results earlier myself....well pleased...college here i come!

Farls

btw...if you've not done as well as you wanted to don't worry bout it, i repeated and its not as bad as its made out to be.

GreenHell

OH GOD I got my points and now the *******s are sending me to limerick OOOH the humanity!!!

phobos

Jimi-Spandex

Spunog UIE

Got nearly twice as many points as i needed but i fluffed hons maths and got an 'e'in process in gettin that checked, dang.

Isn't maths like min requirment for everywhere orr am i wrong, let me be wrong!

Anyhew, good nite all n all.
T'was meant to be workin in LIDL today a big shopping center german, the busiest day o the week (thursday) and me thinks no one was in so there be some **** hitting the fan tomo heh heh.

Afaik, hons maths isnt the be all and end all of college, if it was you would see only 20 % of secondary pupils go to college.

Why waste your year doing maths alone? If you have to do why not take your best offer, do maths concurently and just "redo" first year next year. I know it could cost you but it leaves your doors open to the following options

1) You may absolutely love your second choice and not wanna go back.

2) You may hate your second choice, pass honours maths, return to your first choice next year and have a year of college life/ education already built up (might make your second first year alot easier )

3) You take a plc in the chance that you may go on to college


Good luck in your choice
/me anxiously waiting for my offer

Spunog UIE

yup thats what i'm thinking. but i don't think i've got any college choices asssss, maths is a min requirment, ya? What i'm askin is, is maths a min requirment for all colleges, this is something i have presumed.

Anyhew i think i will just do a plc or something and do maths as well in my spare time. Then resit the maths paper and reapply to cao next year. Is that what you were saying it got a bit muddled when i was readin it.

Gideon.

androphobic

maths isnt essential to get into a course like arts in ucd/ucc/nuig

you can do a few other courses w/o maths too.. cant remember them off the top of my head but check the ucd website maybe..
you need maths for dcu and tcd though.

Mixie

I screwed up my hons leaving cert maths exam a year ago. I couldn't find a single computer degree course that didn't require it, so I ended up doing a computer science PLC and repeating maths (now pass lvl) in the evening. Now that I've got my maths I have a number of choices - the PLC links directly to a CS degree course, I can enter with previous years points & this years new maths result, or through advanced entry (not sure if its 'advanced' entry?).

I was pretty worried about it a year ago, but basically I got the course I wanted and it only tacked on 1 extra year.

Stephen

WOOHOO

Just checked the CAO website - got my first choice

(the points required for my preferred course dropped by 30 this year)
