    Obviously there is a huge difference :rolleyes: but saying that 5th year summer exams are not good indicators is kinda ridiculous. Why would anyone bother with them if they weren't?

    Thanks for the... advice but I very much doubt that I'm fooling myself.

    COMPLETELY disagree with that.
    Summer exams are often much better indicators than LC mocks because you can actually do the full paper.
    I got around the same in my 5th year Summer, 6th year Christmas and Mock exams so they're not too inaccurate.
    Well done pfannkuchen, those are great results, and I really really doubt you'll be in for a shock next year!

    Yeah, a lot of my friends have said the same thing. Thanks! :)

    I find hard and the exams were from exam papers,but the problem is that I cant find them.The maths exam was hard,there is a thread with some qs that came on the exam because I wanted to know how to do them but it seems that its not readable,its ORD maths.


    Also summer and Christmas exams in 5th are important as you can see what points you get and how to improve them for 6th year.

    It sometimes depends if the exam is all what you write in the exam or includes a project or homework scores.
    I got 51% in geography in my JC mocks and an A in the real thing - and I didnt try extra hard because f the bad score either!

    A lot of teachers take questions for the summer exams from past mock papers, they've realised that students are smart enough to study from actual Leaving Cert papers. It sucks because mock papers are harder than the real thing sometimes!

    You're right ayumi, the exams are good indicators of what you need to work on, they can be really helpful :)

    When I did mine the way the time table worked was everyone finished on the same day at the same time. My only memory of my fifth year exams is the reaction everybody had when we all came out of the exam rooms. We all started claping and cheering and shaking hands t'was good times, I'd say something similar will happen this year for the end of the big exams.

    What was the reaction(if any) ye guys had in your schools?

    In my school, our year head came into talk to us after the last exam to wish us a nice summer and to inform us that we were officially 6th years :rolleyes: After that, everyone started cheering and there was a stampede out of the hall LOL.

    Yes it is, a few do most years in our school. It just depends on numbers etc..
