JC Mocks Aftermath - Results!

Desire to Aspire

I was delighted with Business Paper 2 today. I managed to get the two long accounting questions to balance. I was absolutely delighted! It was the first time I had ever done a full one of each, but, I'm ecstatic.

Ohhh I shouldn't indulge in such showing off but:
Maths (paper 1 =93%) (paper 2 =87%) Total= 90%
Science = 86%
Geography = 95%
History = 100% (but very suspect, I don't think I actually got that)
Music = 83% (but I expect the pre practical to bring me up to an A)

got some results back this week, pretty happy some of them need to be recorrected because we got some dodgy correctors :S but ah well as long as it doesnt happen in the real thing
Spanish - 70% (needs to be corrected, hoping it will bring me up to a B )
History - 86% (over the moon with this one, considering all the stuff im unsure about came up on the exam)
Maths - 74% (my teacher is going to have a quick look over it to see if he can find me any extra points to bring my grade up to a B, highest in the class by 10% and only 3 people passed in a class of 20 )
Religion - 76% ( needs to be recorrected though, praying for 9% more, someone in the other class got an extra 22% :O)

You've already got Bs in Maths and Spanish...

Noticed a lot of people, well actually most people in my year were marked down. Probably to make us work harder, like a lot of teachers graded us just 1 or 2 percentages off a B or A in a lot of things.

Hmmm... We had our first pre exam today. Have to say not as bad as was expected, I had English paper 1 and 2. Paper 1 was easy with the notable exception of the personal writing section, I was shocked at the poor titles for possible essays. I think I may have done ok but it threw me for a while.

Did anyone else have a thing about Cork City as their first question on paper 1? If you did you did the same as me

oh i did !!m that was really wird actually .... got full marks tyho im delighted !!

That makes absolutely no sense...
Ignore that, however your school chooses to grade things doesn't count for a thing in the real world. You got B's in Maths and Spanish, well done.

We only finished ours at the start of last week so we only got one back, that came today, 95% in C.S.P.E the easiest test of all times. Dreading the rest though...

One question, if you get lets say 80% in paper 1 of maths and like 50% in paper 2, do they add your marks from one and too and get the grade, or is it like grade from paper 1 and then 2... That was confusing, but if any1 gets me please reply!

Paper 1 and Paper 2 are marked out of 300 each. so they add your marks from paper 1 eg. 250/300 and your marks from paper 2 eg. 260/300, and add them together so you'd have 510/600 which i think is 85%. That's how they get the grade.

Hey everyone:)
Ok so i have all my results back by now. Hoping to get all As and Bs in the JC, so hoping to bring each of my results up a grade! I just studied the night before for most of the exams. But i did a good bit of revisiom before xmas.

As: CSPE and English(HL)
Bs: Irish, Geography, Business, History, Religion, Science, Art, French
C: Maths(HL)

I think i will knuckle down and start studying end of April, maybe May. But knowing me it will prob be a week before the exams!

Desire.

I've only got a few tests back so far.

Geography: 93%.
Maths Paper 1: 91%.
Irish: 68%.
French: 68%.

Happy enough so far. I'm a bit disappointed with French, but my letter was marked very hard. At least my two Cs are only 2% off a B, so I guess that's not too bad.

I'm aiming for 5 As now. I have one already. I'm hoping that Maths Paper 2 won't bring me down to a B. I'm expecting As in both History, CSPE, and Business, and possibly Science. Hopefully, I'll get it, but I think I'll get a C in Woodwork (if I'm lucky) and English.

IamStupid..Not

I did all higher level, and didn't study before because I wanted to know how much work I'd have to do and how much I actually knew!
Maths: 50% D (third highest, nobody got an A)
Religion: 70% The teacher says it's a C and I say a B
French: 78% B
Geography: 89%
English: 73%
Irish: 77% (Stupidly happy over that, though I'd failed!)
History: 83% (2% off an A /:
Science: 82% B
Business: 79% B
CSPE: 84% She gave me a B :eek:
Art: 93%

I got the rest of mine back earlier in the week so I might as well post here.

Maths - 84% - B (one percent...:P)
Geography - 87% - A
Irish - 76% - B
Science - 79% - B
French - 75% - B
Home Ec - 85% - A
Business - 81% - B
English - 88% - A
History - 96% - A

Pretty happy with those considering I didn't do an awful lot of study. Hoping to keep those A's there (well, Home Ec is gonna come down a lot but I'm not bothered) and push those B's up. Going for maybe 5 A's and the rest B's in the real thing. Oh, and I didn't do a CSPE mock but I don't expect an A in it because our action project is a joke.

Everyone's results are really good looking and if ye're not happy with them don't worry about it. They're definately nothing to lose sleep about sure ye have plenty of time to improve on any you're not happy with.

From doing the JC last year, I've learned that the mocks are really just a learning curve and nearly everyone does far better in the actual JC. I got mostly B's in the mocks last year but I managed to pull mearly everything up to A and ended up getting 10A's and a B in the real thing.

There's no need to go overboard on the study for the next little while as long as you do it consistently and learn from the mistakes that you've mad in the mocks.

Got 3 As myself. 90% in Religion (never studied), 100% in CSPE (Never studied but I just seemed to know everything in it). 95% in French (Lived in Belgium for a year which influenced that).

Got 82 in Science, 80 in History, 74 in Geography. 50 in Irish, 64% in Maths...

Indiego

finally got the end of my mock results
over the moon, considering i do higher level everything
I got:
4 A's - Home ec (94%), Science (86%), History (86%) and Geography (91%)
5 B's - English (70%), Maths (76%), Religion (76%), Spanish (70%) and CSPE (80%)
1 C Irish (61%)

My grade might go up in english, religion and spanish, because some peoples papers were corrected badly, so my teachers are checking them over.
Hoping to bring all my B's up to A's and my C up to a B
