    Looking over exams in my head now and exemping the two i dont care about what exams did I do good and more importantly which did I do not so good in... :S

    CSPE- My god why didnt I look over it, I know it means nothing but its an easy A to please my family wasted I believe as I totally screwed up section one.
    According to me, Ireland National Symbol is the Heart when printed on every exam paper i know is a Harp...
    Its the small things that anger me :P

    Maths-I tried to prepare for it god knows I tried but you cant prepare for these things.
    Not trying to negate the blame away from me like but our Maths teacher has never taught Maths before in his life...
    So the Maths year was a doss, for me it was like a year of Musical chairs, placed at all different sides of the class, not usually a bad student but these kind of people irratate me also his voice made me laugh and the amount of times he says "Right!" is funny, hilarious in some class' ecpecially when hes giving out to me :P
    Also in this exam, paper 1 i believe, I put 1 down as a prime number.
    The small things yet again! >=[

    French- Oh God a year of downs, no ups unfortunatly...
    3 different teachers...
    No.1- Ms Vereker- Good teacher but strict an unable to control certain crowds. The best teacher I thought and was able to learn stuff from her.
    No. 2- *Name Irrelivent*- This one cropped up from nowhere and gave out to us, astonishing really, she was meant to teach us of the past and future tense and postcards, even though we got a note but I shall reserve this for number three.
    She gave out tests which were useless and seldom corrected and out of the blue we get the pres listening test.
    Talk about warning.
    Now onto the dubious:
    No. 3- Ms Stuckupherownarse- This teacher as you see from her name is fairly stuck up to say the least. One class she decided instead of doing French she would discuss how brilliant at Athletics she was so a fellow athlete to be in the class.
    Then a week til we broke up she decided the best thing to do would be to give us lots of papers of previous exam papers and decipher them for us.
    Now whether intensions were good or not I have an idea of but this method of teaching really is not appropriate for people sitting their Junior Cert in 7 days.
    Also the way she designated her time towards Higher and Ordinary was completely biased. The people who were doing honours were clearly capable of looking after themselves according to this teacher and therefore decided to spend all of her time on the Pass people.
    Therefore I went into the exam, left my french "revision" sheets scattered outside and shakely sat down.
    I then turned through the booklet to see what kind of letter and postcard we were getting and low and behold when I set my eyes of the page where a nice "Holidays Postcard" setup should've been sat an unrevised note... Brilliant, Thanks a bundle.
    Luckily for me I may have improvised a B out of the exam which is quite good for what I was expecting but I havn't the result yet so best not to dwell :P

    Geography- I feel I done very good in geography, perhaps because the paper was one of the easiest I'd ever seen but, best not dwell. :P

    Business Studies- Now our Business Studies teacher is teaching me TY next year so Im hoping to God I did good in it :P
    I feel I did as I scraped a B in my Pres and I feel the one we got for the JC was quite easy also so Im hoping for an A. =]

    English- I enjoyed this years English as the teacher was brilliant.
    She went over everything step by step for what to do first and thenafter and so forth.
    Unfortunatly we dont have her again next year as she was merely a substitute for the one I will have soon.
    Now there will be 3 "O Sullivans" in the school. Brilliant.
    Cant really decipher what Ill get in English but a B seems fair.

    Metalwork and Woodwork- Clearly dont care will take whatevers given.
    Didnt try all year, why would I change when the exams came :P

    Religion- Basiclly I think I aced Religion, thought it was a nice paper and had practiced what to write for the questions so it was just a matter of learning off :P

    Science- I like science as I subject and am generally interested in it.
    Which may accomadate the reason to why I was so shocked at some of the questions which came up, Id done exam papers, been over alot, but on the day I just blanked out.
    Been up late the previous night which may also contribute to the reason on my exessive tiredness.
    Hope I got a B, will be pleased with one.

    Sorry for the novel, just taking all facts into consideration...

    How'd you think ye did???

    em.... God, thinking back, now i really dont want the results back! haha.
    I did honours in everything, except maths and i know i failed that.
    Never had a head for numbers.... :confused: Looking forward to results night,
    just not getting the results and opening the envlope with everyone around. And... to make it worse, we dont get our results untill 2oclock that day AND we've to be in at 9 the next morning!! :eek:
    hmmm...well....

    English-had a great teacher the past 3 years who prepared us really well,and i was happy 2 hear that english was the first exam but thining back, i reckon i would have done better if it had of been on the 2nd or third day,coz english is my favourite subject and i want an honour in it, but on the day, i just froze. So many things could have gone better if i had of just relaxed a bit more and not panic..... hmmmm

    Irish-suprised myself with this one actually... Everything seemed 2 flow =)

    History-oddly enough, i remembered dates !! the thing is, i used 2 get them all mixed up and i dont think that happened on the day.
    Heres hoping!

    French-went better than expected actually..

    German-one of my favourites that i want an honour in.It was my last exam and i probably my best.I was so glad when it was all over though but the paper wasnt tough.The examiner kept getting the girl outside to get him tea and biscuits,every 2 seconds!
    So distracting, then he kept going round each table asking if we wanted one. ha!

    Geography-lets just say theres hope =P It wasnt terrible, sort of in between... Maps have never been a good thing for me though.

    Science - i put alot into this one. Ive always failed it in class tests/mocks/exams...but i stayed up untill 3am studying and i reckon id get a b or a c... Id love an A...although i cant really see that happening. My teacher was terrible and most of the time he left everything up to us.

    Religion-in higher level,in the mocks i got an a. But i dont think i got an a in the jc. Some of the questions didnt seem right.
    I heard alot of complaints in the hallway actually...

    Cspe-stupid little things that make a big difference....so annoying!!

    maths-fail.i know i did.never had a good teacher,she ws also my tutor and didnt like me! o_O
    Never had a head for numbers either.

    its getting closer the more u think of it !! =(
