I got a B3 too, same as last year. Got a B2 in the mocks though, still glad it's not worse than last years exam...that'd be kinda embarrassing.

Fuascailt

A1...but I'm totally going to view that paper to find out how they could possibly equate an A1 to that illegible mess.

Got a B1 in the mock, and A2 in the Leaving... an A1 woulda been nice, though, cause it's my favourite subject.

I think its pretty clear to all why Mikeyt086 didnt do as well as he thought :D:D

meeka

I got an A1, absolutely thrilled, it was the one exam I came out of really happy

florencexxx

A1 as well thankfully! Well pleased, got an A2 in the Mocks and would have died if I went down. =]

Guys, English is marked ridicuously. Last year I got a B2 on results day after getting straight A's in school. I had my points, but I got a few rechecks anyway cos I was so upset about English. I ended up going up to an A1. If you think you deserved better, you most likely did.

Idiot, whoever marked it the first time...

No theres no way thats correct.

blue_belle

got a C2 in the mocks. and never get below a B in class. (mocks were marked by our teacher)
i did a better paper in the real thing, and i worked a lot harder coming up to it.

and i got a f*****g C2.

there were tears.

From my experience last year, that seemed to be true in most cases. A good few of my friends were disappointed with their results and got rechecks, and I think only one of them didn't go up.

rgt320q

C1 in the mocks and now a D3 in honours. I feel dirty...

Ahwell, got the points in the end, plus how many others can boast to having a C2 in Japanese

blue-army

I got a 69% in the mocks and we weren't given the extra 20 mins you're allowed in the real exam. So I basically had 40 mins more in the real exam and I only managed a C2.:(
This was after hours of studying and I was expecting an A2.
I'm definately gonna appeal that result...



By the way, does anyone know how to go about appealing the results? How much does it cost per subject?
And do you have to pay to view each of our scripts?

It's free to view, you must apply by Tuesday the 19th of August though.

Dunno how much it is to appeal them though..

I got 57% in my mocks, only started the course in the middle of October cause I repeated and never actually watched ''My Left Foot'' or read ''How many Miles to Babylon'' and just found out I got an A2. Happy happy happy!

Roxy.Randrome

Got an A2. delighted so i am... thought I messed up on the comparative.

Gambra

I got a c3 and was expecting higher!!! i dont think many got a's in my school....maybe 1 if even that....teachers were even shocked at the low results.... nearly the whole year are getting it re-checked!!!

Eegah

clickclick

C3:( got a B1 in mocks(which our teacher said was marked tough enough) so no clue where i went wrong!!
Appealling asap

Aoibheann.

I got an A1... 10 out of 18 people in my class got A's....

rc28

I got an A1 and am shocked/delighted. I got a B1 in the mocks and I can't wait to view my paper to see how the hell I got the A. Remember, English is completely subjective and up to the examiner's opinion so people who think they deserved more should certainly get them rechecked.

Mognet

I got my A1 too, thank God! Was dreading it, as it's one of those subjects that can go either way.

some people were very sad with theirs though today ='(

22diamonds

I got a B1 but i expected an A2 cos i got 84% in my mock and felt the LC went better than that. I'm gonna view the paper though.

leomessi

Got 55 in my pre and ended up with a A1, which i had expected from the start.

tasha1

I got an a1.

So delighted!!

I got the highest in my year in the mocks and that was a b3 and i would have been so upset if i'd gotten any lower in the real thing cause my teacher said the mock was an a paper!!

Happy happy happy.

deleriumtremens

I did the lc last year and from what i can rememeber the results some people got in english were completely not what either they or anybody else would hav expected!!
Whereas in other subjects, like maths or german, one cud normally make a good prediction as to what one would get, with english, people who were expected to get a1's got c's and people who were not really brilliant at english during their time at school ended up with a's.
Just looking at the results day supplement ting in the independent this mornin and saw a statistic that said more than twice as many get their english papers rechecked than other subjects... id probly give it a go if i felt i was cheated out of a result but id bear in mind that last year only 15% of the english rechecks resulted in upgrades..like geography and biology were nearly double that which id find suprising as it seems like it would b easier for an examiner to squeeze extra marks out of an english exam appeal!! maybe its to do with keeping points levels steady, seeing that more appeal english but i dont know.
First post ever by the way!!:D:D:D

Got an A1 aswell and only wrote 3 pages for my essay...>.<
I'm quite curious to see how many marks I got for that incredibly rushed piece of writing...

WaldenByThoreua

A1

English is marked way too subjectively though for my liking. I'm sure there are people out there with b1's that deserved A1's and so on. Too much varies from one mark to the next.

daggy

A2.. i thought i was terrible. Got C's and D's all year, even a C2 in the mocks. what the hell ! I'll take what i get!

pjtb

Got an A2!! Absolutely thrilled! would have been happy with a B or even a C. I got 7 A1s and the A2 in English, happier with the english grade more than the other seven put together!

Absolutely, unlike other subjects it can be very difficult to know how you did. I've been a C/B student for the past two years and I got an A1.
