    Hi there

    I'm an English teacher with no leaving cert students this year - I'm just wondering what the grades were like?

    Well I got a B2 and usually get a C1 so I was pretty delighted.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭unknown13


    They were fair. I C2'ed the paper. Happy with that considering it was weakest HL subject


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,062 ✭✭✭DancingQueen:)


    My English teacher was there today, said the results were very good overall. I went up a grade so i'm happy with it :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,819 ✭✭✭EuropeanSon


    I got a B3, was quite disappointed... Had been expecting a B1/maybe A2. I got a B2 in the mocks and felt my real exam went much better. It was the only one I was disappointed with.

    I got an A2. pretty delighted with it

    for all of 5th year and this year, i have been getting a1's and a2's in English. Today i got a b1, it was the only subject i was slightly disappointed with. I suppose you never know what kind of examiner you get. Im gonna view it and probably get it re checked, just to see.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 581 ✭✭✭Ruski


    I got a C2, considering I put minimal effort into studying the subject.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 702 ✭✭✭cork*girl


    got a c2.. went down from a b3 in the pre's. pretty pissed off to be honest about it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 191 ✭✭Dafydd Thomas


    Got an A2. Was hoping for an A1 but still pleased. Some of my friends got results they really weren't expecting. One friend went from a B3 in mocks to
    D2 today


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 191 ✭✭LutherBlissett


    Across the board grades were either of a similar level to before, or a slight improvement. Despite Boland not coming up!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 264 ✭✭Liveit


    I got a D1. Im disappointed with it, I was hoping for a B. But i'll get it viewed and because its english i'll probably recheck it sure


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,271 ✭✭✭kev9100


    I got a B1. I was hoping for an A2 but it didn't end up hurting me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 829 ✭✭✭zam


    Got an A1 and thought I'd get a B2 at most.. Needless to say surprised and delighted :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9 Pimptastic

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 273 ✭✭i like pie


    i got an a2!! i'm normally a b2/b3 student so i was quite surprised:) i thought english would be the result i wouldn't count!! i never depended on predictions so i wasn't caught out like a lot of people were in paper 2!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,359 ✭✭✭ldxo15wus6fpgm


    Got a B1, going to view it along with a few other papers. Might appeal if I need the points.

    A friend of mine got an A1 and she usually scores a little less than me! :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 74 ✭✭*Miss Ní C*


    B2. I'm quite disappointed with that so I'm going to get it rechecked


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 289 ✭✭Behind you Joey

    C1 bit disappointed with that, even though I only had a year to cover the course I felt I did a much better paper this year than last.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 224 ✭✭caroline1111


    Fair enough, got the A2 as expected


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,335 ✭✭✭✭UrbanSea


    I was bulling with English,getting it rechecked,A1's in it mostly and an A2 in the mock,got a B3 in the real thing


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 140 ✭✭LadyGaga!


    I've been getting D3's all year, almost failed the mocks but today I got a B3! My English teacher is going to have a heart attack with the shock!!


  • Site Banned Posts: 2,719 ✭✭✭DB10


    C2, Down from the Mocks. Absolutely gutted, was hoping for a B at least maybe an A, put so much work in.

    Gonna get it rechecked. How do I do this?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,837 ✭✭✭NufcNavan


    B1 in the mocks, A2 in the Leaving.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 307 ✭✭Orlaladuck


    I got a B2 in it. For my best subject I was upset about it so I'm appealing it :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,979 ✭✭✭Vurnon San Benito

    In the exact same boat.
    Will be appealing that one.

    Overall, some very high grades throughout.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33 flamboosh


    Got a B2 in the mocks and an A1 in the real thing - was a bit of a shock considering how much I physically despised paper 2 :p not complaining though!

    I got an A2 and I am happy. Really wanted that A1 in English but I know the areas that brought me down to an A2, so I got what I deserved, really really pleased overall.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 61 ✭✭CiaraBelle


    Went from a C3 in the mocks to an A1 - shocked and delighted.

    Considering how much my mock result affected my confidence, and then how hard I worked to try and improve, it's the result I'm most proud of :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 469 ✭✭geetar


    only got a c1. didnt even use it in the end. i was hopin for something in the B1 territory...but oh well.:rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 930 ✭✭✭*giggles*


    Got an A1, don't ask me how it happened. Nearly failed it in the mocks :rolleyes: Wonder how that guy got on - the one who went raving after Paper 1 on YouTube


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 156 ✭✭SquirrelFace


    Got a C2 from a B1 in thr mock so not very happy, well indifferent really, but i know i screwed up on some of the questions, so i wont be appealing, just had a bad day in the exam i guess!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 30 MadRush


    went from a B2 in the mocks to an A2 today....

    can't complain even though i think i'll need those ten points on monday :(

    B3....Disappointed. I (and teacher) was convinced I'd have an A2 at least in the bag. Sadly my essay was a load of drab and I got netted up in the non-appearance of boland..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 111 ✭✭Rossie17


    Got an A1, I can tell you it was NOT expected!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,744 ✭✭✭theowen


    B1. Blerg.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 87 ✭✭validusername


    Got a C3 in my mocks and got a B2 in the actual! I'm well delighted with it. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,541 ✭✭✭anothernight


    I got an A1 but thought I'd get a B3 or so. I also got an A1 in the mocks but I think I waffled a lot more in the actual thing.

    I said before that if I was going to get an A1 in anything, it'd be English...and it's all I got an A1 in! :rolleyes:

    Going off others' results, it seems like a lot of people did very well in English in my class.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 80 ✭✭Moshimoshi


    I got an A2, absoultely amazed. I pretty consistently failed English since the beginning of 5th year and barely scraped a D in my mocks. To add to that, I came out of the English exam devastated with how much I managed to write (very little) and I was sure I failed. I'm still not sure that they didn't make a mistake in correcting my script. It's definitely the result I'm most pleased with out of them all.

    Got an A1 too, over the moon, ran over to my teacher and gave her a big hug!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 118 ✭✭Grace16


    Got a B2 and i'm so happy with it. In class I usually got C's so it was great to get a B. I think most people in my class were happy with their English


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60 ✭✭aoife365


    only got a c3! But im still happy :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 63 ✭✭DavidKelly1


    In my school anyone who really deserved the A1 got it.

    Myself i got a B3, was happy as I got a C3 in Mocks and Got a B in JC.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 428 ✭✭[Rasta]


    Got a b1 in the mocks and dropped to a d2. My teacher would go mental if she checks it haha :pac:
    Not gonna recheck either, I passed my leaving so thats that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,678 ✭✭✭TrustedApple


    just got a d3 in hl by 2% in the mocks and moved up to a c3 in hl in the real thing ok some of you guys got A 1 or a B 1
    not bad for someone who has dyslexia and cant spell

    but some times i dont not belive you got that much points because you can i say anything you like here and puting down and makeing people fell bad when they get a lower mark even do thay try there hardist in there tests


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,768 ✭✭✭almostnever


    I got my A1 and I am really ecstatic with it. I put myself under a lot of pressure to get it, as I got an A1 last year as well and obviously it'd be handy for points and all that. English is my best subject, it was my only A1 in both 2009 and 2010 and it comes quite naturally to me. I think I'll actually miss it next year!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 118 ✭✭!?!


    I got a B2 and i'd normally be an A student...:(
