I'm in first year college, I definitely think it's better to sh*t yourself and work hard for the leaving. I was sh*tting myself and therefore worked hard and therefore got good marks. I would tell you that everything's gonna be all right, but unless you put your back into it then everything is not gonna be all right!

Don't go killing yourself but don't take a back seat either. Better to be a swat than a twat.

I suppose if you got over 400, who knows what someone of even average intelligence might be capable of getting....

Thanks for the reassurance!

Rozabeez

Jeez lads she's trying to be friendly and re-assuring....LETS GET HER!!

bobneedshelpnow

well if yer all gonna be like that- forget it......:rolleyes: and by theway i was the c/d student all through school so i was actually below average.....i got advice last year from this forum saying pretty much what i said......u didnt find it helpful? sorry i'll just go and get the answers for the leaving cert 2007 there for ye :rolleyes:

eZe^

Any other LC students ever find themselves dreaming in class about somehow finding every LC exam that you will be faced with in June. How amazing would that be. Probably me and my overactive imagination.

Rozabeez

Ah don't mind em, it's all crank crank crank round here these days. Well done with your points, its relieving to know that its possible to do well without giving it all I've got/studying my ass off.

Thanks!!! at least sum1 realizes i wasnt tryin to be a kno it all.....gud luck in the exams.......PROVE THE TEACHERS WRONG!!!:cool:

JC 2K3

Prove the teachers wrong how?

"Jimmy, you should get an A1 in the end" - Maths teacher
"Jimmy, you've got an A in this and I've no doubt you'll get an A in the real thing" - Irish teacher after giving me my mock back.

ARROGANCE FTW!

ZorbaTehZ

*slaps JC 2K3*

cocoa

*hi fives JC2K3*
Hell yeah I can do well in the leaving without killing myself, I got 535 in my mocks without killing myself, and that's without the A1 I'm hoping for in my app maths mock (not corrected yet). And I'm really happy that I can do this, but I don't go around giving advice to everyone to "take it easy" because although I personally can get away with just staying focused in class time and little else, not everyone can. I will never give anyone advice on "how much work" they should do because it depends entirely upon that individuals abilities, methods and aims.

oh, and arrogance FTW. If you can pull off having arrogant expectations and continuing to be right (I can) then go for it.

Just in case anyone reading this gets the wrong idea...a C/D student 'is' the average.
It's the people who yabber on about lots of 'A's that are not average.
There is nothing wrong with being a C/D student if that is trying your hardest.

Agreed, unfortunately it's our nature as humans to s**t on those we consider lower down than us.. It's the nature of many intelligent humans, anyway, has to be for us to succeed in our area of work. It was a nice gesture from the OP, a little hard to believe it came from a 400 pt business student though, WIT is it?

who the hell do you think you are to make such a generalisation liken that. i got high in my mocks but i would never look down on somebody who is a c/d student, my best friends are these kind of students. i think its a disgrace that you think you can look down on somebody that you consider to be lower than you. you may have got higher than them in your mocks but i can guarantee you that they are much higher than you in many different areas. dont bother posting back one of your stupid comments about my spelling because im sickened of your ****.

finally boger makes a good point!

Well if you read the post correctly, you would have noticed that i was in cork-(UCC actually) and whats wrong with WIT anyway i know people there and they find it a brilliant college. oh and lets not forget you have'nt even done your leaving yet! don't get so cocky......your full of it its disgusting!

whoa, you seriously think that everyone is equal don't you? You seriously think that where some people fall down in areas, they have redeeming features in other areas? always? wow, that is truly quite amazing. I salute you for your optimism.

:mad: uhh, I do NOT look down on WIT people... It's probably my fault for the way I've written that, I wrote in a hurry, the 'WIT' part was a genuine question (not an attempted insult ffs), WIT was originally one of my own choices so why would I look down on it now... I hate how quick someone would jump to the conclusion that I'm looking down on WIT ... After all, how would the comment have been meant in a sarcastic tone when WIT is considered one of the very top places in Ireland for business degress...

as regards your lingo, what do you expect, to make a topic and write like that and not get a few digs? grow up...

md99

I won't bother responding to bogers illegible drivel, but for anyone else who may have been offended by my words, just to clarify...

Agreed, unfortunately it's our nature as humans to s**t on those we consider lower down than us.. It's the nature of many intelligent humans, anyway, has to be for us to succeed in our area of work. It was a nice gesture from the OP, a little hard to believe it came from a 400 pt business student though, WIT is it?

What I said was if you cared to read correctly and not just jump to (false) conclusions, it is HUMAN NATURE to do this (look down on others, consider others lower etc), I didn't say I did it myself or looked down on the OP/anyone else... I don't, notice how I said those who CONSIDER others lower down... Those who 'consider', meaning that a person may think this of others - that doesn't necessarily make it so. By saying its human nature I by no means included myself as one of the main propietors...

A psychologist/doctor may be aware of the symptoms of a disease/illness, does that mean they've got the illness themselves?

I'd like to thank cocoa for not jumping to the same silly conclusion...

Haven't a Clue

Pfft. There's loads of different types of intelligence so if the ones who think that the Leaving is the be all and end all, ye're fools. Richard Branson never even did the British equivilent to the junior cert, and look where he is now. In fact, loads of loaded businessmen failed their leaving, Ben Dunne being another example I think.

Good luck to ye if you get yer 550 points in the summer, but I wouldn't go around slagging ones who got less saying you're more intelligent than them.

Rozabeez

heh heh heh Boger. Does he mean snot? /immature

Mackleton

Guys, less of the condescension, the Leaving Cert is merely a measure of how much you know in set subjects, not the kind of person you are or your IQ. People can have little or no attention span ie. A.D.D or the likes, pay no attention in class on fail on that but at the same time be utterly brilliant at art or computation, music, whatever People can be gifted and intelligent in other fields not tested in the L.C and it only measures how much stuff you can learn off, (disregarding art, music, practicals etc)

JC 2K3

I'm perfect in every way. It gives me the right to be condescending.

It's only the internet anyway. The LC board is where I go to amuse myself by being arrogant and seeing how it písses people off, as well as helping people on Applied Maths threads.

So... trolling basically?

Well I never set out to troll. If letting a petty argument last for 3 or 4 pages and frequently replying with arguments with condescending undertones is trolling, then yes, I am guilty of trolling.

But then again, the level of maturity around here isn't very high as it is.

But, as already discussed the argument did NOT last anything near 3/4 pages... Wanna argue about that?

JC 2K3

It did kinda, I made the remark about the LC being overhyped and college students not giving up going out to study on page 1, it escalated from there...
