CAO POINTS: Estimates

opinionated

What points do you want to get?
What points are you going to get?

AND, then after the points day, you can post WHAT you got...kinda complicated...

Want to get 325
Will get 285

genericgoon

I reckon ill get between 400-550.Only need 350 tbh.

Enemy Of Fate

Meh.I'm capable of getting 450+, but due to my complete lack of work, i'll probably get around 420 or so.I still really only need 400, and even thats a bit high (its a new course so theres no previous points to go for, but all the other business courses in NUIM are around the 380 mark for average points accepted, so I don't see why this one should be any different).

Will get- probably just about scrape 500. Or else 495. Cue frantic appealing- or waiting for it to go down to 500 in the second round, has done for years now- NO I'm not depending on that!

Pretty much the same, except my course in 420. Lack of study is gonna prevent the 570+ score, but hopefully things can go right on the day!

DtotheK

need :~495
Want :600(cant see why no one else here wants 600...)
will get : ~525

Corruptedmorals

It's out of most people's reach perhaps, so they don't think about it? I don't particularly want it.

Naikon

Leaving cert is a bit like a lottery, so dont believe that 600 points will reflect your true ability in most cases.
Aim for high grades in subjects applicable to your personality and skillset, not the overall aim of "how may pointz ya get".
Of course If you need 600, that's another story.

colm-ccfc84

Obviously I would want 600!
Need: About 470
Estimate on what I will get : 555

analyse this

Need: 550
Want:570
Will get: 500-530:o

Should have actually done some study:o Ah sure there is always next year;)

Patricide

Need around 400
want around 400
will get around 310

Thats what being off pretty much all of 5th year and not listening in 6 year will do to ya, the fact that i cant ever study till before the exam doesnt help either. As long as i pass maths english and irish il be happy though. That way i can take a year out, go to c.s.n the year after. do a fas course after than and then apply as a mature student :P.

It's more like aiming a sniper rifle with varying degrees of accuracy depending on the amount of study done.

Of course no one has a 100% steady hand and there's always the chance of slipping at the last minute.

kurisu

Need 315
will get 350-ish
deserve to get 0

Probably a solid ordinary engineering degree in one of the IT colleges.
Points don't reflect the quality of courses anyway.

kurisu

i think jam making is 20 points hmmm

maybe i should just do jam making for 20 points at UCD the use there horizons system to study commerce:D

Peyton Manning

For those who think appealing is a lost cause, I needed 475 last year and got 470, so I decided to appeal my English. Baddabing Baddaboom - got my 475 u
after the recheck. So it can work

It's 500. Which would probably be a huge dissapointment to you....I'd class 500 as eh, high.

JC 2K3

I know it's 500.

But when you look at it as 4 B1s and 2 B2s it doesn't really seem high at all....

Although, it's much harder to get those last 100 points than anything before.

ashyle

Oooo I'm aiming for 400... got 310 in the mocks (eep).

I want Arts in UCD. Want to do every language they have and do Erasmus in Italy
