Marking schemes from tomorrow!??

ninebeanrows · 29-07-2007 9:49pm #1

Well it was this Monday (tomorrow) when the Marking Schemes from last year began being uploaded onto the Examinations.ie website, they were uploades as early as 5am, now i won't be waiting up or anything!

But over the coming week we should be provided with a possible insight into how we faired in the LC, before being hit in the face in a mere 16 days time with the real thing.

Good Luck all

Are you serious?
Looks like I finally found something to do!!!
I think I remember enough of my papers to be able to calculate an approximate result for everything except Irish, French and English. The only question now is whether I should or not....

timmywex · 30-07-2007 10:32am

nothing up yet anyway...

adam_ccfc · 30-07-2007 11:30am

I'm almost positive it was the 31st they were uploaded on.

ninebeanrows · 30-07-2007 3:40pm

Seems like they will not be coming up today.

Yes it was the 31st last year which was the Monday, the 30th was the Sunday so today is the 30th and it is a Monday so basically the same calender day.

Maybe tomorrow !

I'd say it's more likely that the 31st is the standard release date.

ninebeanrows · 30-07-2007 7:56pm

Here's hoping, wouldn't mind abit of diversion tomorrow!

The guy · 30-07-2007 11:16pm

Not up yet, although it seems that they uploading them or something. The tab is an option but it has nothing to reveal.

Here's when last year's were uploaded: http://www.examinations.ie/archive/markingschemes/2006/?C=M;O=A

Just looking through the last few years now, though, and it seems to normally be the 15th of August.

estebancambias · 31-07-2007 10:25am

Why check up the marking schemes before the result? I understand some people get uptight and like to find out but just wait until the 14th.

Naikon · 31-07-2007 11:08am

I am actually glad these aren't up yet as I would just torture myself looking through each PDF:)

What for?

''What for?''

Damn!!!!

*walks away*

ninebeanrows · 31-07-2007 6:53pm

I have hope if not expectation that they will be uploaded tomorrow, but more hope they will be updated next Monday.

I don't believe they are routinely updated on the 15th but good observation nonetheless.

spurious · 31-07-2007 8:43pm

Come on guys and gals, we're finally getting a bit of nice weather - forget about marking schemes that can't change what's done.
Go out and get some air, instead of wrecking your head. Results day will come round soon enough on its own. Plenty of time to look at marking schemes then.

It wouldnt really wreck my head at all atall, just interested in taking a goo at them, sure after the 15th i probably wouldnt even be interested in looking at them,, hopefully

sd123 · 04-08-2007 9:42am

Whats the story with the marking schemes, can anyone think of a good reason as to why they still aren't up??

Mushy · 04-08-2007 10:04am

Its prob cos they dont put them up till the 15th, results day.

Hey no they werent all updated on the 15th, all the old marking schemes were put up last year (2006) on August 15th.

Last years marking schemes began to be put up from July 31st

It's probably whenever everything is ready to be rolled out and on schedule that they upload the marking schemes.

Carsinian Thau · 04-08-2007 11:16am

I wish they'd hurry up. I need a distraction from the waiting...

Carsinian Thau · 04-08-2007 10:20pm

They're still not up. Maybe I should just make up my own....

Yeah, sorry, my bad.

And I'd say you're right, they'll go up whenever they're ready. They must not be running quite as briskly as last year...

jackjack555 · 06-08-2007 4:22pm

ohoh that may point to inefficiency!! which is not a good thing...ah im so nervous

Steve01 · 06-08-2007 10:34pm

Or perhaps the examiners are being extra careful this year. Wouldn't want to screw anyone over now, would they? :rolleyes:

ninebeanrows · 06-08-2007 10:45pm

If they are not out tomorrow, i doubt they will be out until August 15th, tomorrow or Wednesday.

Lucas10101 · 08-08-2007 11:30am

WooHoo, the marking schemes are finally up, wait till you see the Maths marking scheme, damn tough,

Hey i can't see them?

are you sure there up?

reddiva · 08-08-2007 11:36am

Can't see them either?

Thomas_S_Hunterson · 08-08-2007 11:36am

They're not up for me...

Would anyone care to mirror the site and see of they're uploaded? I don't think i can do it from work
(although i assume the DoE aren't that stupid)

I'd be pretty sure, lucas was mistaken

But how would you mirror the site?

Thomas_S_Hunterson · 08-08-2007 11:42am

You could use wget to download everything on the server.

They're not uploaded by the way, I just checked. If they were they'd probably be in this folder on the server http://www.examinations.ie/archive/markingschemes/2007/

Lucas10101 · 08-08-2007 1:21pm

I can still see them after checking again, I just double checked the 2007 to see if I clicked 2006 but no, and I just checjed maths and rushed back here. The maths is really tough marking scheme.

I can't see them at all.
Would you mind maybe posting up a link?

Thomas_S_Hunterson · 08-08-2007 1:40pm

Yea post a link to the PDF document please!

Although i've a feeling that you're taking the piss Lucas

ninebeanrows · 08-08-2007 1:54pm

You must be taking the piss.

If not post up your link or at list a snapshot of the pdf so we believe you

Hey just quit the game or post some sort of evidence.;)

Naikon · 08-08-2007 2:21pm

He is most likely taking the piss, If the marking schemes haven't been uploaded to the 2007 directory we aren't going to see them until August 15th.
Come on, admit your bs Lucas:D

*Good to see the SEC at least uses the Apache webserver*

Carsinian Thau · 08-08-2007 3:14pm

Yeah, he's taking the piss. The comments about the maths papers prove it, just there to mess with our heads.

jackjack555 · 08-08-2007 3:18pm

does he think that is funny like? MORON

Thomas_S_Hunterson · 08-08-2007 3:25pm

:DWell it looks like he succeeded in getting you pissed off so yea:D

jackjack555 · 08-08-2007 3:28pm

there's always a comedian

Lucas10101 · 08-08-2007 4:56pm

Couldn't help but have a joke. Everyone seems tensed about them, so why not?

Lol for hours and hours.

It was hardly in anyway funny.

It was a terribly immature lie tbh

Are you ever left to look after ten year olds? cos you would suck at it...

lol though, the maths marking scheme is tough? "If the student checks their answer they lose all marks for being uncertain" "If the student does not check their answer they lose all marks for being cocky". It's maths, there's very little flexibility in the marking scheme, the blunder/slip/etc. system is well established...

adam_ccfc · 08-08-2007 8:47pm

Seriously, why would you believe him? It was so blatently obvious reading through the thread that the guy was on a wum. People round here are so gullible.

In fairness, I did suspect something when he mentioned that the "maths marking scheme is so hard" or something similar.
Terminology like the above just gives away the obvious attempt at lying.

Marking schemes from tomorrow!??
