    IMO, the Junior has nothing on the Leaving Cert. The course, HL English in particular, has a whole different approach. The general aim of the HL course is that the student learns how to interpret various texts (including novels, films, plays etc.) and express their own personal opinion on the texts. Of course, for most people this takes a bit of practice to learn, so the most important thing from now on is to each and every bit of homework your teacher gives you.

    Also very important is to READ! and learn to read for pleasure (bit ironic?:p). It seriously helps you in every way, from giving you fresh ideas for the essay question on Paper 1 which is worth a quarter of the LC exam (I think) and to simply just allowing your thoughts and feelings to flow in a fresher and more natural way onto the paper you're writing on.

    I got an A in JC English and a C2 in my mocks

    My friend got a B in her Junior Cert and something like 99 in her mock? She's very very good...

    you never know with English i suppose... keep working and it's possible?

    I only got a C1 in my mocks and my teacher marked the exam very hard (0 for a page and a half answer because it 'missed the point'), so I'd like to think I'm at the standard where I could get an A1. I got an A for the Junior Cert easy enough and I have a thing for English, so here's hoping!

    its very possible.. my sister only got a C in her Junior Cert and got an A1 in higher level Leaving Cert :) you just have to work on questions, learn your quotes and learn how to approach questions (thats most important) :) buy a english key notes book they are very good :) it will help you loads
