Hey I'm in Leaving Cert at the mo and I did my JC 2 years ago (hard to believe). This years results are unreal! I'm glad some people are happy

If you're disappointed with your results, don't be. In reality they don't really count for anything (but they're still important!) When you come around to Leaving Cert, they're only a stepping stone and possibly something in which you can work on in the next 1-2 years.

I originally got a D in H.L English which I was really disappointed with, and a C in H.L Geography but I got them both re-checked and they both went up!:D

What I'm saying is that if you are not genuinely happy with what you got, talk to your teacher and do get them re-checked if you feel you need to

Darn you CSPE!
I'm going to appeal this subject, I feel strongly that I got an A in truth.

Also, did everybody have *(A supplementary report exists) at the bottom left of their Results?

Here, I'm in the exact situation as you. Don't know how it happened or what was up with the markings. I just want to go to sleep and forget it all at this stage. I know I should be delighted as my results are in probably the top 25% but I know I could've done better, and in maths and geography (the latter esp.), THOUGHT I did much better.

I know that won't help but.. but.. idk really. Its *only* the Junior Cert I guess...

im very disappointed aswell.
I only got 4A's and I was expecting at least 6.
I went up from a C in the mocks in english to an A (really happy bout that result)

however, despite me getting an A in the mocks in my favourite subject, business, and all the studying I did for it, I only got a B

my other A's were in maths, cspe and geography

people thought I did amazing but im quite upset

Well done everyone

All higher level except CSPE, A's in English, Irish, Maths, French, History, Geography, Science, Business, CSPE and a B in Home Ec. So 9 A's and a B.

If any aspiring JCer reads this...I'm fairly certain that I've never felt as happy as I did when I opened that envelope and saw the results...just sayin'.



Also regarding spurious' claim, I did so much better than expected, 9 A's was beyond achievable for me. Wow...so happy. So so happy.

A supplementary report means there is an additional report on those results. It should be on the back of your results sheet.

It can mean that a candidate missed a part of the assessment - only sat one of two papers, failed to hand in a project, practical asignment etc., or it can mean that the candidate had an exemption for spelling and grammar marks.

It will say what the supplementary report is on the back of your sheet.

5 A's and 5 B's. Absolutely delighted.

Thought Business was a definite A though. If I wasn't happy with my results, I would get it re-checked. Delighted with English especially - never got an A in that before - and was predicting a borderline B/C. Thought Geography and History were definite B's too.

Unless your mocks were corrected by people who have corrected for and know the standards of SEC exams, they're almost useless as a guide to how you will do.

Unfortunately the mock industry is quite a big money game now, so all sorts of low standards are coming in.

If you look at other threads on boards, particularly in the Leaving Cert. forum, it's clear boards.ie does not represent the full spectrum of students.

The high number of 'I am going to get 600 points and do Medicine' posts probably intimidates others from posting.

How true the aforementioned posts are is anyone's guess. There are people who get their jollies from posting false claims about themselves. It's kind of sad really.

I know a girl who did three JC subjects at Foundation and Ordinary level and was absolutely over the moon with her A, B and C grades.
Would she post here? I doubt it.
Would some here scoff at her results? Quite possibly.
Still, she was the happiest kid in the world yesterday, even if only for a few hours.

bb1234567

very true thanks, I even may have bumped by grades up a bit in a few results threads the odd time but only like in mocks results thread and other unimportant results threads and the such but my jc results are all completely true,scouts honour:) very proud of myself:)

It depends, typically experienced teachers get good correctors. Our science corrector in the mocks couldn't count so science even with a basic marking scheme was corrected wrongly. However our history and maths papers were corrected superbly and our geog teacher deliberately got a very harsh marker (who could still mark mind you) and most of the other subjects were grand. Our English mock marker hadn't a clue.

In my year of 40 I was the only A in CSPE, SHOCK. Anyone getting a result checked? I'm going to get geog checked.

shadowninty

You have to pay to get them checked. Fine if you're a richer

You get the money back if your grade changes tbf.

and B in everything else. All higher level.
I probably could have got more As, but to be honest I didn't take 3rd year very seriously at ALL and seeing that I'd jumped from failing science in the mocks to getting a B made me so happy.

I started crying, I was so happy when I saw the A in maths. Pure disbelief! My teacher had no faith in me at all and I just accepted the fact that no matter how hard I worked, I wouldn't get the A, but hey. Best feeling ever!

3 As in those 3... are very hard to get. Well done, strange you got no additional As.

Overall 7 A's and 3 B's. Kind of disappointed to be honest. History and Business are 2 of my best subjects and I scored over 95% in both of them in the mocks. (Our mocks were corrected by an external examiner also). Might appeal but don't know if I can face the disappointment if I don't move up a grade and the waste of money..
