    ALOT better than the mocks. Only one fail, science, which I don't care about.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,298 ✭✭✭Namlub


    I got:
    As in English (!!) and CSPE
    Bs in History, Science, Irish, Religion, Home Ec and Business Cs in Maths (delighted, I was expecting an E), French and Geography (which no-one did well in, balls) Worse than my pres because I got 3 As (I went down in History and Religion but up in English) in that and only one C but I'm still happy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 243 ✭✭kingbob387


    Heh, didn't fail anything, luckily, and yes, did WAY better than the mocks, I think they made the mocks harder on purpose.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 436 ✭✭Meller


    All As and Bs, yay :D
    Much better than the mocks, in which I got a ton of Cs and Ds.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,405 ✭✭✭RHunce


    seems to be a lot of a's in english compared to last year when i sat it it was marked very hard, well done all, enjoy tonight :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,962 ✭✭✭jumpguy


    Did all honours...
    A in science and history. Got a very high B in history and was expected the A. Pleased with the A in science as I'm doing the 3 sciences in LC.
    B's in the rest....WTF is the story with that bollox CSPE. I thought it was my gauranteed A. People who wrote **** all for the last question and got a B too. I nearly feel like appealing it if it wasn't such a a pointless subject. B in German aswell, there was hope for an A in it. Happy with my B in English and maths.
    C in French...my letter was a complete disaster but I'm doing German in LC anyway.
    D in Irish...hoping for a C but it's my worst subject and I did crap in the exam.

    EDIT: What does it mean at the bottom left corner of the sheet...
    *(A supplementary report exists). I didn't get any of this but I'm curious.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,472 ✭✭✭highlydebased


    Well done everyone....have fun tonight :D

    8 B's 3 A'S. I got an A in maths which I'm so happy about because I worked incredibly hard for maths.I'm sort of glad I didn't get all A's, because everyone I know who has done really well at JC has had to repeat the leaving because they got overconfident.

    I'm normally really good at English and Science, I get like 90% but this time I just freaked out and panicked. I did one of the English questions twice and though I knew the science, in the exam it just stopped making sense. I got B's in those subjects.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 44 iheartboosh


    Irish (H) - B (so happy! was hoping for an A, but still delighted with a B)
    English (H) - A (over the moon! my favorite subject xD so glad)
    Maths (H) - C (so happy! failed the mocks so i was expecting to get worse)
    French (H) - B (really happy. i love french)
    History (H) - B (was absolutely ****ting this exam, but really happy now!)
    Geography (H) - A (i love geography and the exam was pretty easy so i'm delighted xD)
    Science (H) - B (so surprised, was convinced i did terrible xD)
    Business (H) - B (so relieved!)
    Home Ec (H) - B (my teacher was the freakin anti-christ and hated me so i can't wait to rub this in her face tomorrow :D)
    CSPE (C) - A (was expecting this but still..an A xD)


    so that's 3 A's, 6 B's and 1 C. all honours!! my hardwork definately paid off xD
    well done to everyone, amazing results from what i've seen
    enjoy tonight :D

    It means that there is additional information regarding that grade.

    It could be one of the following:
    -you did not complete one required component (a project, an oral test, a second paper, a practical task etc.)
    -you completed a project, oral, task and did not sit the exam.
    -you were given an exemption for something like spelling and grammar because of having dyslexia or something similar.

    There are a number of things it can mean.
    Well done on your marks.

    It is on the back of your results sheet (I think).
    Ask them in school if you don't have it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 66 ✭✭mickydi


    Just wondering how people know what level of grade they got ... some saying high B etc... how do/did you find out? Results sheet just gives the grade which covers quite a mark range. Bro got 6Bs & 5Cs (all hons) he was expecting 3 OR 4 As & is bit disappointed but overall happy nuf. He would love to know how close he came tho.


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


    Some fantastic results on here, well done everyone! My sister did really well (she's probably reading this as she lurks) with 7As and 3Bs..well done her!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,734 ✭✭✭J_E


    2 A's, 3 B's, and 5 C's. All on Higher Level.

    I'm not too happy with the results, it did give me a bit of a slap in the face, and I'm going to work a lot harder to change the C's into B/A's.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 470 ✭✭animalcrazy


    Considering I didn't open a book I was delighted with my results!

    English(H)- B

    German(H)-B

    Maths(O)-C (maths I just don't get so I was delighted!)

    Science(H)- C

    History(H)- B

    Technology(H)- C

    Business(H)- D (was full sure I failed it)

    Irish(O)- B

    Religion(H)- B

    So 6 Bs, 4 Cs and 1 D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 62 ✭✭Sean-Tom


    Was absaloutely delighted as I got 8 A's and 2 B's (All higher). B's in Geo (didn't study cuz i was dropping it) and CSPE which I was a little ticked off about. Can't believe I got an A in english. Practically all my class got C's and D's as the teacher (who is pure sound and fairly decent teacher) hardly ever shows up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 70 ✭✭squishness


    6 As 5 Bs and a D. :pac:
    All honours XD

    History - A (mock: B ... got 84% in the mock though)
    Business Studies - A (mock: C)
    CSPE - A (mock: A)
    English - A (mock: B ... delighted :D)
    Religion - A (mock: A)
    Technology - A (mock: A) [only A in my class :p was so happy. It was one of those subjects that I just didn't want to see my result in.]

    Irish - B (mock: B)
    Maths - B (mock: B)
    Spanish - B (mock: C the teacher decided to feck off after the mocks and never came back so I'm surprised. :rolleyes:)
    Science - B (mock: B)
    Geography - B (mock: B... gosh I'm consistent...)


    Art - D [was expecting to fail... so no surprises there :pac:]


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 27,315 CMod ✭✭✭✭spurious


    As I have said before, the JC is about giving you the maximum possible marks for what you write in an answer. I'm glad most people who post here did well.
    Some people make the mistake of thinking it will be the same in the Leaving and they won't have to work. It won't.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 70 ✭✭squishness


    12 Honours!

    As in Science (!), English (!!), and Maths (!!!!!!)
    And a C in Art. I'n gonna kill myself.

    Bs for the rest.


    I got a D :pac: Yay us. :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3 abagail09


    i did basically the same, though i found most of our mocks far easier than the proper ones, so i was so shocked with how well i did.
    English and Maths-A ( B in the mocks even though i thought it was easier)
    Business went up from a B to an A
    History, Geography, French, Science, Irish A in both (So relieved with Irish and Science as i'm in an irish school and doing the Science subjects)
    Art went from an A to be B (was disappointing i put a lot of work into it)
    B in CPSE too. Was so disappointed in that:P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25 smileeey
