    Who wants to take part in this? We'll see who can jump the highest points wise from the mocks to the real thing. I'm competing with myself so far: I got 220 in my mocks and I'm aiming for high 400s.

    I wish I had deliberately failed all my mocks now, so I could stand a chance at winning this. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23 hotfuzz2


    I need to improve by about 50 :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 405 ✭✭JonnyMcNamee


    Sure why not :P got 415 in the mocks and am aiming for 520/30 :D This comp could be the motivation I need :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 217 ✭✭snoreborewhore


    450 in the mocks and am looking for about 500! Is it sad that this will probably be the only thing motivating me?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,989 ✭✭✭PictureFrame


    500 in the Mocks, looking for anything over 515 and i'll be delighted! :)

    Going for a (very ambitious) jump of 175+. This may motivate me...

    I'd probably be more motivated if one of my friends just said they'd give me a tenner if I went up that much though. :pac: Or even a fiver, I'm not picky. :P

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,340 ✭✭✭Siobhnk


    Got 435, aiming for 450. Would probably be safe getting 430, but it's just for my own personal achievement :) actually, my sister got 465, I'd love 470 just because :P

    This is actually a good idea haha kinda motivating! :) um..well I would have gotten all my courses but 2 in my mock result. But I want to improve by 180 and I know I can do it...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 442 ✭✭Incompetent


    I can safely say you're all depressing the sh!te out of me.

    Anyway... Is anyone interested in prizes, or will we keep it nice and friendly? If we had a LC12 meetup I'd buy the winner a pint (hopefully myself ;) )

    220 in the mocks? Apt username.

    Lol jk you can do it with a bit of study.

    (I apologise profusely for being so mean.)

    I know yer messing, but I failed 3 of the 6 I'll count in June, and I did no work for those 3. So I think I should be able to drag them up a good bit!

    Looking for an increase of 15.

    ... 610 in the mocks is depressing considering it's so easy to go down in the actual LC.

    I'm really competitive so this might motivate me a bit! :P

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,693 ✭✭✭Whatsisname


    275 in the pres (failed Maths so threw in Irish instead) need an increase of about 75


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,249 ✭✭✭Bears and Vodka


    405 in the pres (considering I didn't do Russian for the pres, a subject in which I'm hoping for an A1). My personal target is 500. Increase of 95 points. Let's do it!
