I can't believe people don't know these things.

Sometime between 12pm and 3pm, Thursday. They change the time a lot.

Ah it's some people's first set of results. I'm dreading it though, but it will be good to know one way or another. The absolute blind panic between the moment you click on it until it comes up is not a good feeling!

Yeah I know that panic all too well. No matter how well I feel I have done I am always afraid to check the results. Like even this year I studied hard in January and all my exams went very well, but I'm gonna be sh1ting myself Thursday checking them. Its just one of those things I guess, anyway GL to everyone!

I usually get about 20% lower than I thought I got. Taking that into consideration I'd say I got around 70% in both the tests I did. Gonna have 5 of them to study for in the summer and we don't have half the time we did for the christmas ones though thats gonna be hard.

<70% = 1.1
60%-69% = 2.1
50%-59% = 2.2
40%-49% = Pass
>40% = Fail

Got 59% in 3 of my 4 exams. Got 60-something in the other

A bit disappointed, I thought I done better

Hopefully I can get those 59's bumpd up, a 2.1 looks much better on a job application than a 2.2

punk_one82

Had to get an audit because I forgot my student card for my first exam. Paid the 20 euro a few days ago but I still can't see my results. Does anyone know if I can get my results from heading over to the registry?

As far as I know, unless you get over 35% in that exam, you have to repeat

barbiedollz

How much did you fail by you may be able to pass my compensation

quackisss

Hey guys! I failed miserably in one of my modules, I don't think I'll get compensation so what happens now? The module was 100% CA so I can't just repeat an exam, does this mean I'll have to repeat the module or...?

barbiedollz

i got 33 per cent.what is pass by compensation

Pass by compensation is when you get between 35%-40% but you have gotten over 40% in everything else, then AFAIK you are entitled to be awarded to pass the module you got >35%<40% in. Since you got 33% over all you probably missed out by 2% which sucks but if I were you I would get a re-check and hopefully you get bumped up to the point where you can pass by compensation. Contact the exams office and don't take my word for it, I may be way off here.

I think you have to average 45% overall, it says something relating to this in the marks and standards guidelines:

"The precision mark is normally defined as the overall average weighted mark for the first full presentation of marks for an academic session. For continuous programmes, the precision mark is defined as the overall average weighted mark for the first full presentation of marks for an award."

Make of that as you will. I think it means in June when we get our final exam results for semester one and two then the average of all our results must be higher than 45% for any exam to be elgible for compensation. Then the exam cant be worth more than 1/6th of your ECTS credits.

I got 38% in one exam and a 2.2, 2.1 and 2.1. It's only worth 5 credits so when (yes, when!) I pass my semester two exams I'll hopefully be compensated.

Ok bare with me. I failed one module last year, badly, and had to repeat it this year. i had already started an INTRA placement so I was allowed to remain on INTRA while repeating. I'm registered as a third year though the exam i took this year was a second year one.

I have again failed :mad: though not by much. i got 37%. Since it failed the first time in second year and this time while technically being in third year, would i be compensated this time?

(btw, i am aware that failing the same subject three times is pathetic, but i've passed everything else, i just do not get this subject)

As far as I know you can only be compensated on a full set of results you may have to resit it again in August........


Compensation is only applied when all of the following conditions are met:

the modules are being attempted for the first time, i.e. where a full set of exam marks is presented for the first time; compensation is not applied in relation to modules being attempted at a second or subsequent sitting

a minimum precision mark of 45% must be obtained
a maximum of 1/6 of the available marked ECTS credits have been failed (regardless of the semester in which the failure(s) occur or of how these ECTS credits are made up in terms of modules) in the academic session
the marks obtained in the individual failed module(s) is/are greater than 35%

Most of these questions are answered in the Compensation thred

As you are a repeat student for that module, the new Marks & Standards don't apply, for this year only. Sorry to say it looks like you have one final attempt to repeat in autumn and then you are out.

You should really talk to your programme Board chair directly.

56 in biology, 77 in physics. ****in hell this is a hard college I knew everything on that physics test inside out but I only manage to get 77. Then again its still a pretty good mark so I suppose I shouldn't really be complaining.

I know what you mean I'm guessing its a near impossibility to get above 90% in this college. I swear to god on my physics test I knew every single aspect of every question that was on the test yet I somehow only get 77%. In the long run when employers are looking into your record do they see a list of all the marks you got during your time in college?

Is it not sort of common knowledge that colleges never give over 80% or so? I'm not saying this can't be gotten but I think it is unbelievably rare. The exams you expect to get like over 90% for you usually get over 70. I got 99% last year in a first year accounting module in NCI but I assumed that this was because it was number for number accurate and the paper was out of 100%. In other words they couldn't give me less than 99 as everything was done correctly i.e, all numbers in the right place etc.

Find it strange though with anything else where written answers are required as it just seems impossible to get much over 70%. Even in the Leaving cert lots of people score 95%-100% regularly but colleges seem way tougher in their marking.

Thank god that's over! Did better in the ones I was worried about and not as good in the ones I was confident in, but sure fcuk it it's over!

Hey, when I was in DIT in second year of my Business cert I got passed by compensation in one of my repeat summer exams. However this was obviously a different college (perhaps less strict) and it was at level 6 cert level. I remember being sure I failed thinking I only got 15% in the exam which is probably what I actually got. In other words I think they just made an exception since it was final year of a 2 year cert and I had passed the 4 other repeats comfortably (5 in total that summer :rolleyes:). They probably felt it was unnecessary for a student to have to repeat second year when at best I was only getting a pass overall and the cert was pretty much useless to me anyway.

Grr, failed one. I expected to though, not attending lectures + trying to write a 3000 word essay in one night was a bad idea in hindsight :pac:

Does anybody know what happens when you fail a module that's completely CA? Do I repeat it?

Depends on your lecturer. You'll probably have an essay to do or you may have to take an exam.

Does anyone know when the pass lists will be available? There's a tab in the Portal Page saying 'Pass lists online' but when I clicked it it says not available yet. Any ideas anyone?

They won't be putting up any passlists until the summer exam results.
