Exam Results - Provisional and Final

El Siglo

In the UCD Boards.ie spirit of things. How's everyone fixed, any nerves yet?

Thanks so much for your help re the GPA question, in terms of results am very very nervous, dying to know how they went. Do you reckon that they will go live once it turns 12 tonight, even though it says no earlier than 5pm on the UCD website? Can't bear to wait much longer!!!

WellCultured

I'm a bit nervous yeah!

Raphael

Would just like to get it over, personally.

I'd almost go so far as to say its likely. They've done it before.

Mr.Nice Guy

My stomach's in knots. I have a feeling I've failed at least one.

El Siglo

Well, I remember getting my results last Christmas at 4am, rather inebriated after the superbowl, I intend on being the same way tonight and tomorrow.:D It is unnerving to say the least, I've a 2.2 guaranteed and I'm still sh*tting it, really nervous about one or two of them, and also I became incredibly lethargic and apathetic in the reading week and exam weeks, that I spent two weeks watching the inbetweeners, southpark, snooker and betting on paddy power.

Don't mention it!:)

It couldn't hurt looking now, I'm giving it a go anyway.
Is anyone in final year?

watched 4 series of DVD boxsets in study week:( Possibly not the best idea... Damn my powers of rationalisation!

I'm very nervous about results, because they were the worst set of exams I've ever sat.

Waiting sucks.

Our school emailed us provisional results a week ago, according to that I have a 2.1.

Was in work all day today so didn't really get the time to think about it. Nerves have just hit now though but not as bad as they usually are because I have a feeling that no matter what I see they'll probably be changed by the time the proper results are released.

Does anyone know if we can appeal from tomorrow or do we have to wait until the final results? (That sounds way too pessimistic. I think I did good but it's just a general query).

You can't appeal until the final results. What makes you think your results are likely to be changed?

I'm just worried my GPA is going to be messed up due to the Erasmus thing, so whatever I see tomorrow will require badgering/waiting 'til the 18th to see in it's proper form (I'm 1/3 2nd year, 2/3 final year, along with a small bunch of others, but I've my suspicions about how smoothly they'll implement this.)

It's just my kind of luck.

I should do good enough to get my 2.2 but I screwed up one of my easiest modules by misreading the first essay title this semester. Couldn't make it out to pick that up on Wednesday so not sure if that was good or bad because it definitely would have changed my perspective on tomorrow. Why do you UCD always have to release them at an awkward time? just do it at the start of business day so that way when you inevitably f*ck it up you have all day to fix it!

I think I'm this way as well. I'm hoping there's not going to be any complex wrangling involved in trying to work out what my actual result is.

Aaaargh not looking forward to this.

Jev/N

I think no matter what I get in this semester, as long as I don't fail, I'll get a 2.1 so I'm not too concerned. It would be much worse if I had the grades close to or above a 1.1 and trying to hang on to it! Best of luck to all

This is exactly what happened to me. I only had two exams (this was my final semester) and yet I couldn't force myself to work hard for some reason. I'd hate to see my GPA ruined at the last hurdle. So yeah, I'm bricking it.

Good luck everyone.

Does anyone notice that it says "no earlier than 5.00pm" when they are talking about results and it usually says "no later than 5.00pm". So I'm guessing there will be no release of the results during the night like there usually has been. Any thoughts? Is it worth my while staying up tonight waiting for the results to come out?

Probably not because you're going to be checking them all day tomorrow anyway it will only make the wait shorter rather than waiting a few hours now or going to bed or sleeping and waking up to check them immediately.

I have a feeling that they'll come out at some stage during the night and I wont really be able to sleep so I'll probably just keep checking because I have a feeling I wont sleep much..

GobBass

I'm bricking it because of Economics and German Language are so close between heaven and hell ..I'm good for Geography and Film Studies though

WellCultured

I really hope they are out tonight some time.

sisweb is down if that means anything.

The end is nigh!!! :P

I want to see my results, see if I made it through first year without any hiccups. :rolleyes:

TheJeanGenie

i was just about to say that! it must mean something. methinks results will be up by 12. i wasn't nervous at all until about 10 mins ago when i went online, lol

SmashingPilot

Although, this could be some sort of mind games.:P

They know that we know, that results will be up soon with this downtime. Do we know that we dont really know though. My head hurts.

I just want results. lol!! :cool:

WellCultured

I don't understand! continually refreshing the page isn't helping!!!!!!! :eek:

TDOie

I bet the UCD web dudes are in this very thread lol @ us...

Not true. They've boot'd backup SIS during the night multiple times. If I recall correctly Christmas results where booted up at about 1:20am.

Also why bring it down at 11:30 if they were going to do it from 1:30 to 6:30 like every other night?

nah thats not why its offline, i got mine at like 4 at xmas after the superbowl completley bananas ringin the aul pair an everything...someone will be on soon enough sayin there up, best thing is to go do something else for awhile. I think a bit of porn and a cheeky one might do the trick!! :D

El Siglo

While we're all online waiting for these results to come out or just generally browsing t'internet and end up here, here's a few videos to keep you happy: mar a shampla,

Mr.Nice Guy

It's probably just down because all of yous are checking it. You broke it!

TDOie

I demand answers! :pac:

WellCultured

come on ucd! stop torturing me!

All the other times the results came out they said it would be the latest 5pm on what ever day it is, but this time it says earliest. I think they are just going to leave us waiting till tomo.

I know SIS is down at the moment but earlier I tried it and I think my account has been suspended.

I typed in my student number and password in the DDMMYY and DDMMYYYY formats with no luck. Then clicked on forgot PIN and changed answered the question and it asked me for a new pin which I entered. It still won't let me log on.

Does anyone else know of any way to access SIS without contacting the IT department because honestly I don't know how long it will take them to get back to me!

Ah I've been there my friend. I have some bad news and some worse news.

Bad news: You have locked yourself out by typeing the wrong password 3 times.

Worse news: Apart from going up to them in person and asking for the account to be reactivated, there's little else you can do. I'd suggest sending an email to IT services, but everyone laughing at the idea of them reading their emails would cause us all to miss the exam results being released.

If you live close to UCD I'd suggest going to them 9am tommorrow (/today).

Brimmy

SIS just came back online.

Without results.

This is going to be a long day in work checking whenever I get a chance

if only they'd said "after 5pm" or something silly like that :P

Still nothing up yet...they must actually mean 5pm this year...that'll be a first...

Naw - I'm still expecting results earlier than that, because it's only sensible to stagger the load on the servers, and it's logical to expect that some students will wait until after 5PM and some won't. If 10,000 students try to log on to SIS at 4:59:59 sharp, you'll be able to hear the server crash from Dingle, and no-one gets their results until next week. :eek:

The suspense is killing me....

Dave!

And yet, I cringe every time I press refresh on SIS :eek: I want them -- but I dont' want them...

IT Services have nothing to do with the SIS login system.. That's the student desk/SIS

For some reason when I reset my password to the DDMMYY format it worked. Happy days!
