Which subjects was everyone shocked with when they opened the envelope???

kmhenry

On the good side I was completely shocked with French + Business (A1) and Irish (B1). Slightly disappointed with Maths & Geography (B2). Total points= 535...which, in itself, was a shock!!:D

Aisling1992

English A1 (H)
Got a D in the Junior Cert and was going to drop down to pass. So relieved that I didn't.
Got 520 altogether although I got a D in Higher Maths but I'm so glad that I passed it.
Overall I'm delighted with my results. and kind of shocked

Dr D

C3 in Higher Maths, I was delighted when I saw it. That was my big aim for the Leaving, as Maths has never been great for me, and I worked my ass off.

dannydfc

i was sure i failed maths and when i saw a d i couldnt believe it.:eek::eek:

lc2010

I was shocked with Irish B2!!!!!! couldn't believe despite the fact that I got a's in other subjects this is my favorite result by far!!!!

On the bad side i was shocked with chemistry....got a B1 but thought I did better....my chem teacher said I did f*****g sh!te!!!!! ah in a nice way tho....she wants me to appeal

monaghanman10

thrilled with english..a2 but majorly dissapointed with maths and economics but b2s and had been expecting at least a2s

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Irish and French........ in a veeery bad way!

Aoifey!

I was pleasantly surprised by all my results, but the main ones were:

Accounting (H) - B2 (after that paper I expected a C3 tops)
Biology (H) - B2 (failed the mocks and had been working SO hard at it)
Maths (O) - A2 (the only A I ever got in Maths, had a horrible teacher, so happy )

Got 405 points!! I know that's nothing compared to most of you, but for me it was one of the biggest achievements of my life!

A2 in english was out of the blue for me :eek: never got more than a B in my life for English even for the Junior Cert or first year class tests have to say I was quite shocked seeing as I didn't bother learning any King Lear and I forgot everything bar the very general story of all 3 of my comparative scripts

was an ojus shock when I seen it

also 460 points was a shock as I was expecting in or around 380 and I was hoping that I might sneak 400 points just so I'd be in the 400s rather than 300s...

DancingQueen:)

I was surprised with Business, I worked really hard but pretty much taught myself the whole course and ended up getting an A2 I thought I would have done better in Maths but a C2's still pretty great so not too disappointed.

unknown13

Geography and Irish.

Grace16

I was really shocked with History (H) because i got an A1 and i still check it to make sure that i'm not seeing things haha. I was also really suprised with Accounting (H) because i got a D3 in the mocks and got a B2 in the real thing. Got 495 overall and that was also a major shock

Junior D

Ha no word of a lie, straight away i saw the three A's in:

English, History and Ag Science.

Was thinking this is gonna be tidy cause hoping for round 500. Then hit earth with a bang.

Biology: B2, my best subject hopin for an A. Pretty miserable.
Chemistry: C1, :mad::mad::mad:, thought I had at least a B2, will be appealin
Irish: C1, alright was happy and unhappy

Cipango

Maths - A2!! Paper 1 was awful so i thought i had a B3!

TomJoe Wallace

B2 in Maths.. Absolutely delighted !

Quinn92

A1's in History and Geography! After my teachers assured me getting A1's in those subjects was practically impossible

Conor108

Biology A1 :eek::eek:

**Timbuk2**

A B1 in Irish :eek: I was shocked - I know for a fact I didn't do well enough to get that - I had a lot of difficulty understanding Paper One and seriously bluffed my way through Paper Two. The tapework went rather poorly and the oral was the only thing I was happy with!

My twin brother, who had been working hard at Irish all year and was even getting grinds, only got a C3 - he had been expecting higher. It's enough for the primary school teaching requirement though.

Maybe they mixed up our results? :P

EuropeanSon

My biggest surprises were in my 3 lowest subjects.
English B3: Disappointed. Thought I might scrape an A2, and that it'd be a subject I'd count, but only got a B3 after a B2 on a mock paper that our teacher said was harshly corrected.

Irish B3: Delighted. I was hoping I'd just passed, would've been happy with any honour, as I'd to leave the exam for Paper II with less than half of it done due to a medical problem.

German B2: Ecstatic. Had considered dropping to OL in German, and never imagined I'd count it for points, so I hadn't bothered studying it at all, just concentrating on other subjects which I thought I'd count. Honestly I think there was a mistake with the correction of this! Not complaining though.

patrick151

Was disappointed with engineering, had A1s since first year.. Only got a B3

Then in the complete opposite manor, My best physics score ever was a 69( in the mocks) and got a A2 on the day

All HL btw

Lawliet

I was shocked by my results as a whole. The first thing I spotted was a C1 and I was thinking "Oh, okay, I was expecting that" and then I noticed a line of Bs with an A at the end, and realised I was about fifty points over what I thought I'd get! I was pretty floored

Haha my Geography teacher told me that as well-luckily I proved him wrong:D

My B2 in french was such a shock-I actually considered dropping to pass as I found it rather difficult(only took it for college entry requirements) I did a grand total of two hours study before the writing exam too!

gant0

A1 in russian.Was expecting a B2 maybe B1 but no way did I think I got an A1!!!:D

theowen

C3s in maths and french. Didn't touch them until the few weeks before the tests and I was sort of predicting a fail in one, and then the end of my dream of medicine

muffinz

Maybe_Memories

A2 in Higher Maths.. My heart sank when I saw it..:(

Before anyone says it, I'm not the "I got 5 A1s and an A2 oh no i did ****" type. Maths is just my thing. A hobby infact.

PARARORY

I was really sick during the exam , ran out of time - my comparative was an absolute disaster... Got an A2 in the end

I was shítting it going into the exam because I was sick and I had put so much work into English over the last year but it all paid off im glad to say!

furbey

My principal going through it got a bigger shock, when i went in the door he hinted that i could have done very badly or failed so...... Ha (I'll be polite):rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I see we're sharing that boat. I didn't expect a C3 either, and I failed every HL Maths exam ever.

I was disappointed with me E in Applied Maths. Sure I only started properly studying it in May but I did put in a fair amount of effort into it in those last two months.

loike

buesinns for sure, was dead set on failing and maths
11% in mocks c3 in real thing

Shanotheslayer

Well I got 7% in Irish Ord in my mocks. I got a D2 in the L.C. I was shocked

Also Biology, fialed every test in 5th/6th year, got a C2 in L.C:)
