    it's now 5:25 p.m on the 19th which means the leaving cert is officially over :pac:

    those last 2 years (maybe more for repeats) you spent worrying about it is now officially over. It feels good really.

    So how does everybody feel about it being over?

    Actually, there's a rumour going round that some superintendent left the storeroom for the exam papers unlocked all through the exams, and that everyone will have to resit everything again! :eek:










    I'M JOKING!!! :p:D


    Yes, it's all over. Relax, go reclaim your lives. Have a bit of fun.


  • Registered Users Posts: 423 ✭✭MrPirate


    Well, it's finally over. Those God-forsaken days that we're been waiting for for the last 5/6 years. The days we've been preparing for for the past 2 years. It's finally over. The past 2 weeks meant the greatest battle of our lives (so far). Here's my analysis of those days:

    English Paper1
    : What a BEAUTIFUL paper! I didn't imagine it would have been that nice! Much better than the mock; so worth the painful hand.

    English Paper2: "Hey, did you hear that they might be cancelling english paper 2 tomorrow?!" 'lolwut' FFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

    Math Paper1: Nice enough exam. Glad I actually decided to do some study for it!

    English Paper 2 (Backup): "I'm gonna fail I'm gonna fail I'm gonna fail..." OH YES! Nice enough paper; liked it more than what was on the real paper 2.

    Math Paper2: "How the hell do I do that again... OH YEAH" As was paper 1, a nice enough paper over all.

    Business Studies: Could have been worse; Could have been better. Overall, it was alright.

    History: Sooo glad I didn't follow the predictions for this! It was quite the nice exam!

    Art History: Sick with strep throat, woohoo. It went... Okay. Could have been worse.. But could have been much better! Thankfully it's only 38% of the whole exam.

    German: Dropping down to ordinary level = :D But I wasn't the only one. Out of the 16 who still did honours level in my year, only 5 did the HL exam. XD

    Economics: What an awesome exam! I can honestly say I didn't expect that at all. But still, not much time given for the amount that you have to write.

    Religious Education: Went better than expected! I was expecting to fail it miserably. But I guess it's proof that you CAN learn more of the course the day before the exam!



    I want to see your own analysis of the exams too in this thread so GO GO GO GO GO!

    Also, everyone have fun last night? :P

    Yeah because I'm a "smart arse" (lolwhat) for pointing out that if you have done well over the past 2 years and put the neccessary effort in, you won't suddenly come out with like 50 points.

    No, but the amount of points your desired course(s) require could boom to 600, and no matter the amount of work done, everyone is at risk of getting only an A2 (in one of their best 6 subjects) due to screwing up an exam on the day (a bit).


    Although the points required for each course aren't random (it is all a supply-demand relationship), to you as an individual (because you don't know the values of all the variables), they do contain an essence of randomness.

    Why do you try to start an argument/heated dicussion in nearly every thread?? Maybe its not intentional.. but you do it alot.

    blah blah blah. nobody knows what points they get until they get their results, why else would millions be spent on people correcting them?we could all just tell them what we got :rolleyes:

    you are soo right and its very irritating when someone always seems to think their opinion is better than every one elses

    for me, yeah. I know I'll pass the leaving cert. Basing it from comparing with my mock results, i'll prolly get something in between 350-400, the worst-case scenario is 300-350, which isn't bad enough for the course i'll be doing. I'm not that ambitious, so which ever college i'll go, then that's it, happy-happy
