Leaving Cert 2012-13 *OFF-TOPIC* (hideaway) thread

bluejay14

French mock oral was 45 minutes ago. It actually wasn't going too bad until he asked me some question in the future and I had no clue what to say because the only thing that I'd learned in the future was next weekend. Safe to say I had a meltdown and couldn't string a simple sentence together. The eyes started watering, nose started running, the room got umbearably warm, the lot. Clearly he noticed because he told me afterwards to calm down and take some deep breaths before I go into the real thing.

He said I'd been one of the best so far but I only got 69/100 so I'm a bit meh about it. I really oral French.

I really dunno what's up with me, but I'm feeling so apathetic towards school and the LC right now. I can't motivate myself to do anything at all while I feel everyone else is really starting to knuckle down..

Finishing the HPAT and the mocks together is a bad combination. I haven't done a tap for about two weeks.

I know, now that I've done the HPAT I feel like I should be winding down, not picking it up!

It's not as easy as just 'doing something about it' either! :pac:

I know exactly how you feel. I just wanna do nothing till the leaving cert, and good mock results don't help!

Did my mock oral today. It's not counting towards our report card going home which is fairly stupid!
God, that seriously was the worst performance I have ever done in a sraith pictiur. I was so nervous and I fecked it completely up :L
But the comhra was handy and all that.So yeah. Grand. :pac:

More or less the same for me. I got the Sraith pic about your one in the career guidance library and going to Galway university. Had a few nice phrases which can be used for most sequences but struggled to tell the basic story. Comhra was grand though.

I have my French mock oral tomorrow morning .. 9:00AM

I got my oral results back the other day. 226/240 for Irish and 86/100 for French.. Absolutely thrilled with French, but so shocked! I never thought I'd get near that, I didn't believe my teacher when she told me! Ours was done by a native French speaker who said she marked extremely hard. I did better than the people who have been on exchanges (who got in the 60s and 70s). I was really worried I was at a big disadvantage because I didn't do an exchange. 18/20 for pronunciation.. Eh like where did that come from?? :P Nice to know that if I put a bit of work into both my oral and written paper I can get an A1 (hopefully!). I never thought I'd get an A, I was just hoping I wouldn't get a C!
Sorry for that big long thing, I'm just really happy

Good luck! Just remember to breathe and think about what you are going to say first. It will be over before you know it

So according to a Cao statistics there has been a 68% increase in applicants for my first preference course... yay..:(

Prodigious

What's your first choice?

YoursSincerely

Nanoscience in Trinity. There was a press release on the TCD website saying what course had a large increase in this years Cao and mine was up 68%, as if the points weren't high enough, more competition

68%?! That's unreal! If you get the course you'll just feel even better about getting in though. 16% rise in applicants to Computer Science too. As if I wasn't stressed out enough about getting enough points to get into the course. =/

Here's a link for anyone interested in the press release: http://dft.ba/-4Vy5

My brother did nanoscience. He started off with two years of undenominated science doing physics, Chemistry and maths and then transfered into the course in year 3. As far as I know there were 16 people in the class.

Ever feel like this after a maths test?
