haha we've been like rivals since 1st year, we'd always try to get higher than eachother, usually we got bout the same scores, but she let stress get the better of her XD
Ooooh miaowww - jk jk back in first year I was super competitive but then I learned, corny as it sounds the best person to compete with is yourself... tis the motto of nerds the world over
Plus I forgot about the guy I was competitive with and I ended up getting more As than him!
Moral of the story?
Forget about the competition and keep your eyes on the prize, lawddsss

Hehe, I never worked in first or second year and averaged b's so I wasn't really in competition with anyone.0 -

I fail at study. Plans don't work for me after a few days, and right now I'm just trying to get a bit done each night to make myself feel slightly better about how little I've been doing all year, and how little I'm doing right now. You'd think the fact that this is all going to be over in a little more than a month would motivate me into studying. No such luck...I also blame Eurovision for my study-related problems this week.
I'm starting to get a bit worried about the whole thing but tbh...I think if I'd been studying all year but still had the same amount of knowledge in my head as I do now without doing that (does that make any sense?) I'd feel really calm about the whole thing...I feel bad about not studying, but I don't feel particularly screwed for anything...if it wasn't for my high expectations, I'd be bouncing off walls.
Right now I'm pretty much trying to revise the whole courses of History, Geography and Science. Science is going swimmingly, Geography's alright and History revision isn't going too well, but I love History and probably don't need to study a whole lot for it anyway. I'm ignoring English until the days before it kicks off, I'm planning on learning a load of French letter phrases, I'm pretty much ignoring Irish other than trying to improve at grammar, I'll go over my maths theorems and constructions some time before the exam, I almost feel over-confident for Business and as for CSPE, well, it'll be grand...I couldn't care less about what grade I get for Home Ec either, night before studying I'm thinking.
Fair play to anyone who actually read that, just me unloading my study angst...meh, I'm a failure at studying and I'm most likely not going to get the results I've been hoping but meh, it'll be grand.
Slow Show, I believe you wrote this way back when? 0 -

I always studied and got good marks right from 1st year, and in the Mocks I got about 7 Bs, 1 D and 2 As. I've only really started cramming now cos it's the holidays and all but I'm afraid I won't get everything covered by June. If anybody got good marks in the Junior (I'm talking 5 or 6 As, anyways), when did you start studying properly? And if you started before April then is it too late for me? I'm going mental thanks
Oh and how do you study for HL English? It's the only thing I want to do well in, even if I fail all the others...
And a certain someone wrote this.... Lord I worried too much! 0 -

Goes to show is suppose!! Don't expect to keep your As
True, very true - you live and learn but your mocks are not meant to be a carbon copy of your real results - they're only designed to show you how far along you are and what topics need a little work 
and the majority of people do really well and overcome their poorer mock results, provided they put in a bit of effort :cool: 0 -

And me!
I was such an eejit (still am, tbf)When I say this people disagree with me, but I believe it is best to keep your expectations low to fair, and then you can't be disappointed. Some people say think positively and positivity will flow from you, but this won't change the examiner's feelings towards your work, will it? If you do well, that's brilliant, but if you don't, remember it's just an exam and it doesn't determine your worth as a person. EG, I love English and it's (supposed to be) my best subject, but I really messed up the exam. That said, I know I put in 3 years worth of hard graft and I don't need a letter on a page to verify this (although it would be nice to get an A!).
Your grades look acheivable and here's hoping you get what you want best of luck to all - not long to go now!OK, so here are my optomistic predictions slightly(!) unrealistic, but here it goes:
ENGLISH - A (have not a hope in hell)
MATHS - C
IRISH - A
HISTORY - A
GEOGRAPHY - A
SCIENCE - B
HOME EC - A (burning the examiner's mouth will not go in my favour )
TECHNOLOGY - B (again, not a hope since my project was kerrap and I had a weeny accident during the exam)
FRENCH - A
BUSINESS - A
CSPE (but don't count it as a subject) - A
More realistic (but highly negative) predictions:
ENGLISH - B/C
MATHS - D
IRISH - B
HISTORY - A/B
GEOGRAPHY - A/B
SCIENCE - C
HOME EC - A/B
TECHNOLOGY - D
FRENCH - A
BUSINESS - A/B
CSPE - A
Cringey, much? 0 -
