    I'd love 500, so I'll aim for about there.

    I need about 420 for Science in TCD I think.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 334 ✭✭meathawk


    I need 500 or there about for psychology in ucd .If that fails 450 will suffice for psychology and science in maynooth.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 111 ✭✭Lady Luck


    .... OMG I feel kinda dumb now .. You are all aiming for 500 and more points and I am aiming for 310. I guess different for different people though :D

    I want 550, but realistically, it's looking more like 500 at a stretch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 665 ✭✭✭english4490


    last year i would have said 500, now maybe 450! i need 440ish...!:rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,257 ✭✭✭JSK 252


    Want 565


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,169 ✭✭✭ironictoaster


    I originally wanted 375 but after the mocks results, it really put me in my place.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    I need any points that will get me into medicine :(

    Aiming for 350.:cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 609 ✭✭✭GA361


    Aiming for 500 . . . Hopefully Law in UCD will drop off a bit this year again . . .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,361 ✭✭✭bythewoods


    I started the year going for 600.
    Now, I'd love 580, but I don't think I've been doing enough.

    As long as I get over 550 I'll be relatively happy.

    In 5th year and the start of 6th year I wanted 450ish.

    However, laziness and a sudden disliking to certain subjects made me change my mind, and I'm now aiming for 360...

    Maynooth here I come!

    +1

    Still playing with the idea of 600, why aim for less?! ;) But realisticly, theres feck all hope now!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,590 ✭✭✭Pigwidgeon


    well i started wanting 500, but i know i wont get that seeing as i haven't put in enough work, got 310 in the mocks, hoping to bring that up to 400ish.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    430-ish, that's what I need for my course


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,082 ✭✭✭Fringe


    I'm aiming for over 500 for my course but I'd be extremely happy if I got 550.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,604 ✭✭✭xOxSinéadxOx


    510 for my first choice, ain't going to happen. 400 for my 2nd choice, so will be happy with anything over 400

    about 450 but i got 285 in my mocks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 782 ✭✭✭tootyflutty


    Got 390 in mocks, so would have gotten my course based on that, but really want to up that aiming for 450, anything above the 400 and I'd be delighted!
    Even if I up all my subjects by one grade (I plan on upping it by more than one in subjects) that'd bring me up to 420 :D
    alls good!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 884 ✭✭✭ya-ba-da-ba-doo


    id love to get bout 450 but once i get my course i really dont care.. it was bout 420 last year so hopefully it doesnt go up..

    got a bit over 300 in the mocks so need to pull the finger arm out!


    :pac:

    1+ 300 in mocks, going for 400!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 399 ✭✭lou91


    550.
    545 in the mocks... terrified of going down :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 215 ✭✭dermo1990


    Anything over 500 I should be safe. got 465 in my mocks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 890 ✭✭✭DmanDmythDledge


    Course was 450 last year so aiming for 500.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,277 ✭✭✭poisonated


    550.
    545 in the mocks... terrified of going down :eek:

    damn you!:pac:
    I wish I got close to that,Im sure if you just keep the way your going you'll be grand!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 287 ✭✭Des23


    Got 535 in the pres, but honestly I was haunted to get A1s in maths and applied maths so I think it is a bit inflated.
    Actuarial Science has been 540-555 for the past few years...as long as I get in to that I don't really mind. Still it is a reasonable platform, there are people in my year who got 450 aiming for 550 and the likes.

    800.......really shooting high here.....confident though so long as it all goes to plan! XD

    Theoretical Physics in trinity is 500!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 287 ✭✭Des23


    800.......really shooting high here

    Two lads in my school going for it aswell, they will honestly probably get it. They both got 5A1s and 3A2s in their pres.
    If your serious good luck though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 210 ✭✭naasface


    Im aiming for 510 but id be ecstatic to hit the 500 mark. But i dont think i would be crying or anything if i got over 460 i think thats really good, but for my first 2 choices i need 500+ to get in comfortably. got 440 in the mocks.



    U guys think its possible to go up from mocks by 60 points?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 362 ✭✭postalservice


    Cant get 800 points.......:pac:
    Guy in my school got no As in the pres last year but got 600pts(out of 600!) in the real thing...just so you know

    I flippin' hope so!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,910 ✭✭✭OneArt


    460 would be perfect, but really 400 or over is fine. Most of my courses including my first choice are all 350, but really just as long as I get a course that involves German I don't really care what I get! :P

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 263 ✭✭jkbrackens11


    I'm aiming for 400 to get arts. I'm not sure what I want to do though so I chose this as it is a broad area. Hopefully I can find a more specific course.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,979 ✭✭✭Jammyc

    Need about 350. Got 280 in the mocks (failed HL Geog by 3%)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 81 ✭✭i'm a smiler


    Well, I got 555 in mocks, need about 565, aiming for 570. In reality though I feel i'm definitely going to do worse in the real thing than my pres!
    Which is totally going to kill me!! It's not that I'm not working as hard it's just that in some of my subjects, I feel I'm banging my head against a brick wall. I just can't "nail" them, so to speak! oh well, we'll see....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer


    Well I'm only in 5th year atm. But I usually do a bit of study every day after school. Take down some notes etc. So I'm hoping for over 300 for Enterprise Computing in DCU

    Same as that, would love UCD but have maynooth down too. Is it not 460 points for psych and science though?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,632 ✭✭✭SligoBrewer


    Meh. Whatever I'll get I'll slide into an appropriate course. Got 355 in the Mock, failed 2. I'd be happy with 480 ish to guide me into Phil/Irish in TCD or even happy enough to let me into Socio/Irish. Points. They ain't important.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,361 ✭✭✭bythewoods


    Points. They ain't important.

    Unless you don't get enough to do any of your preferred courses. Then they take on a massive significance.

    500 definitely very possible. I know people who worked hard for the mockslast year and got 400 and then got 500 in June.
