I got a B in CSPE...
Whats worse is one of my friends got 8 As and 3 Bs, and one of those B's was CSPE. Because of that, his best JC award got split with two others. Stinger. :L
A guy in my school once got an E in CSPE because he took the project out after, brought it home and had a look at it.

Our teacher was so passionate about it :') every class he won't let us sit down until we answered a CSPE question. 'Who is Minister for X?', 'Who is the President of Y?'. I so impressed him when I told him that the chairman on the UN was Ban Ki-Moon
BTW he told us he was one of the three people who started this subject, as in managed to get it to be an exam subject or whatever...0 -

Home ec meant I didn't get best JC. I've been harbouring this deep resentment within me ever since, I haven't been able to go within ten feet of a kitchen or sewing machine. Maybe some day I will overcome this petty grudge against all things domestic, but I don't think it's likely.0 -

Don't you mean a pencil? :pac: Those were the days 0 -

Was it really that bad? Lemme guess, straight A's and a B in home ec? :P
And now you're repeating?! :P Well done :O My results were awful, 9 B's and 2 C's, the C's being science and music. Science was down to literally never ever being taught anything, we didnt do experiments and just used his solutions, and we'd watch videos of classes being taught / Indian dubs. :eek: Makes me sad, I always wanted to do physics.Togepi wrote:That is sickening! As far as I know I did the best in my year in the Junior (7 As and 4 Bs). Pretty much certain I did because a few people told me ages afterwards that such a one got the highest in our year with 6 As... :L I kept it fairly quiet that I did well anyway! Surprised it was the highest though, it's usually at least 8 or 9 As to get the highest.
Wish I had a title like that. :P
My C in music was awful too, I was always one of the best in the class but my tinwhistle betrayed me and I didnt have a clue about some of the stuff that came up. :L0 -

Yes. 9 A's and then...home ec. A couple of others got 9 A's as well, around 3 others I think, and then one person got 10 A's.
Sad that I don't get the reference
I wish I could get 8 A1's in the leaving, the one who got 10 A's is only doing 7 subjects so I've got the advantage there...pretty sure she's going to get 7 A1's though. 0 -

Lol, hardly anyone knows I did well in the Junior though 'cause when people asked how i did I was just like 'oh um I got As and Bs', nothing too specific. :P
Haha, yes now I'm repeating, possibly because I was an eejit/stubborn little yoke and had to keep on 3 of the 4 subjects I got Bs in (and since then I've taken up the 4th one). :pac: I only went for them 'cause I liked them more than the others! Quite proud that I got an A in the 3 compulsory subjects though. Good thing they were compulsory too or I probably would've dropped them after doing well in them. :rolleyes: Also proud of my A in Geography, just 'cause I hated the teacher and it felt like a moral victory after I expected to get a C at most. AND 'cause he was the only teacher to ever move me for misbehaving. God I was am such a nerd! :pac: 0 -

Oh man, well at least it wasnt CSPE right? :P So many smart people in one school o_o A lot of us in my year got 500+ but the highest was 575 and two 570s, I'd die if anyone in my year was getting 600+ :LYes. 9 A's and then...home ec.

Sure you'll get them in English, German, Maths, Applied maths, and then Irish/Physics/Chemistry are all similar enough in that theyre not rote-learning, you'll be grand.
Wish I could get my head around subjects like those

Omg I remember sitting up for HOURS waiting on my dad to come home from work with #13, I could not handle the excitement. I'm surprised I didnt explode.

Exactly! Ah, my mocks were perfect for me. I somehow got 68% in 5 subjects, ie 2% off the Bs that would have filled my little head with complacency. :P
Ah History. </3 A in the Junior Cert mock (only one!). B in the Junior. D1 in the Leaving Cert mock (I think). D2 in the real thing. It all went downhill from that 100% in the first year Christmas test. :L 0 -

Indeed! Yes, the third, The Wide Window. :P
And biology hopefully! :L
I can see a lot of people in my year getting over 550, I don't think it would be too much of a stretch to say 10 potentially could.0 -

Haha I had an amazing JC history teacher, didnt get her for LCExactly! Ah, my mocks were perfect for me. I somehow got 68% in 5 subjects, ie 2% off the Bs that would have filled my little head with complacency. :P

Ah yes, thats the one! :P I'd never have been able for biology, I am so squeamish; we had a sex talk earlier in the year and I had to leaveAnd biology hopefully! :L

My year's really small (~75 of us) but theres this huge gulf of 500+ people then bam, its all 300 and below, its mad :pac: I think 10+ got over 500 in the mocks but I'd wonder how many of those were genuine. We'll see in August I guess 0 -
