**Result predictions**

HeaneyBabe

So what do results do you predict yourself getting?

I predict mine as followed, with Italian still to do:

-English H: Hard to know but hopefully a B2
-Irish H: B2
-Maths O: Who cares
-Economics: B1
-Geography: C2
-Physics: D3
-Italian: Hoping for an A but depends on how the paper goes on friday.

SureYWouldntYa

Maths : C3 hopefully
English: B3
Irish(ol): C1
Business: B3
History: B3
Phys/Chem : B2
French(ol): C1

Grand total of 420 points which mean i will be repeating

HeaneyBabe

I would hate to have to repeat

ChemHickey

Ye'll all be fine. Just stay positive. Enjoy the summer and try not to stress out too much. And if you're going for med, you don't always have to repeat the LC, just the HPAT. You could reapply to the CAO 2013. and just focus on the hpat for 6 months!

Freewheelin_

English: B2
Irish (OL): C2
Maths: B3
German: B3
History: B1
Economics: C2
Music: A2 (hopefully, it's tomorrow)

I think that's being conservative enough with Maths, German and Economics.

+25 for maths is 495. That'll do me grand, as long as I don't get a D in OL Irish.

Well these are my optimistic grade predictions but I'm I'm pretty sure I'm in and around these. I'm hoping for:
English: A2 (fúcking paper short story titles)
Irish: A1
Maths: C2
History: A2 (didn't get last essay finished)
Physics: B2
French: B2/B1
Engineering: B3
Have Music tomoorow but hoping for a B1/A2
Thats 540 I think, counting the 25 extra points for Maths! I'd be ecstatic with that tbh! I'd have my first choice and an Entrance Scholarship in Maynooth ;D but I could be completely overestimating.. I hope not though! :pac:

I do Higher Level.

CSPE is not just a subject. It's a way of life.

Questionable?

Hoping for something like this:
Maths: D2
English: B2
Biology: B3
French: B2
Business: B3
Accounting: B3
Irish(OL): C1

That gives me 460, but some I might have done better in. Should be OK for my course unless they raise the points by 100.

Pepperr

Best case scenario.. (More likely than not I will be down a grade in each)

English B2
Irish B1
Maths A2
Chemistry A1
Biology A2
Technology A2
Applied Maths (Haven't done yet but hoping for an)A2
French(Ordinary) No clue, doesn't matter!

All honours but the French which I dropped out of a few months ago! I hope this is enough for my course..Im stressing out that I won't get it! GAH!

Pessimistic Predictions:

English: C2
Maths: C3
Irish: C1
French: B2
Phys/Chem: C1
DCG: C3

Points: 430 (I got 435 last year. :mad: )

Optimistic Predictions:

English: B3
Maths: C2
Irish: B2
French: A2
Phys/Chem: B2
DCG: C2

Points: 480

I really wanted 500 points or more. And an A1 in French, an A in Irish and Phys/Chem and at least a B in DCG.

Bears and Vodka

My first choice was 475 last year, my aim is 500 to be safe and just to have a nice round number :P

So, I think I managed the following:

English - B3
Russian - A1
Construction - B2
Physics - A1
Economics - B1
LCVP - Distinction
(plus did OL Maths, Irish, German)

Total: 510.

Happy Days!

finality

Slightly optimistic predictions:

English B1
Maths B1
Irish B1
Biology A1
German A1
Physics A2
Chemistry A1
Applied maths (on Friday)

That would give me 585. In reality I could go down a grade in chemistry, biology and physics, giving me 560. I'll be happy with 560, maybe slightly disappointed with anything less.

Overall I'm happy with how the exams went (apart from maths). I was worried I'd drop a huge amount from the mocks but I think I've improved or stayed the same in everything except English and maths. Delighted with chemistry in particular, I'm confident of an A and I got a C2 in the mock.

I was really worried the leaving cert would be devastating for me as I was really really lazy for most of the last 2 years, so I can't complain at all about any of my estimated grades (except maths).

And I have no clue how I'm going to do in applied maths. With my optimistic grades an A1 in it could bring me up to 600 (omg!) but that's EXTREMELY unlikely. Probably going to be a B.

dmca93

My advice, be as pessimistic as you possibly can, therefore you're bound to be happy on August 15th! :P

Togepi

I predicted my results last year... Worst possible result I could've gotten was 420. I got 15 points above that, so it was a good thing I was pessimistic about it! :cool:

Pessimistic -

Optimistic -

English: B2
Irish(OL): B3
French(OL): B1

I'll probably get better results than I'm expecting tbh, pretty pessimistic.. Still haven't a clue what I'm aiming for in college, highest atleast 370 points course, and the lowest is 315 which I'd probably get.. Haven't a clue what I'm going for

Siobhnk

Being really pessimistic, about 410. Wouldn't get into my course I'm not totalling up optimistic scores, I don't want to get my hopes up

Bbbbolger

In our school it's policy not to leave exams early so I've spent the final 20 minutes of more than one exam grading my previous papers question by question. Here's what I think I'll get...

English - A2
Irish - A2
Geography - A1
Biology - B2
Engineering - B1
Music - on Thursday. Got a B1 last year and my paper was incorrectly marked. Should have got an A2 so that's what I'm hoping for this year.

Also did Chemistry (H), Maths (O) and French (O). That would give me 535 which will leave me 10 points shy I'd say. Hopefully I might pull the A1 out of the bag in English due to the fact that so many people across the country won't have a decent poetry essay. Let's hope so at least!

FaoiSin

I won't embarrass myself :P

fizzyorange

I'm really happy with how the exams went. Here's what I think I got:

English HL-B3
Geography HL-B3
German HL-C3
Biology HL-D1
LCVP-Merit
Physics OL-B1

That's a total of 360, and my course is 340.

I think I'm being a tad pessimistic about biology really, just not getting my hopes up because I really feel I did poorly in it. I'd also like the A in physics and a distinction in LCVP, but we will see how it goes.

That's 465 points.

I'd be thrilled with either because I'd get my course. I would have liked to do better in English and Biology though because I got nearly straight As in both of these over the past 2 years.

Bubbleope

i'm expecting the worst and hoping for the best after doing them exams :pac:

worst possible outcome = fail maths and get Ds and Cs and no Bs or As.
best possible outcome = i doubt i'll get any As but i can always hope for just 1. PLEASE mr/mrs correctors. :L i need one A too feel good. :P but best would be Bs and Cs, passing maths and getting no Ds.

here's for hoping. :P god i hope i don't fail maths. :eek:

If I got the pessimistic results I'd be delighted.(505 is a special number) Anything more than that and I'd be over the moon.

Expecting for the worst, why is LC getting harder and harder every year?
Funny now when I look back to my Leaving Cert Predictions :rolleyes:, I thought I was going to get 530 points

You never realy know what to expect in English.I might think my answer is brilliant but the corrector won't.I've grown accustomed to put down a B as an average.Could be better or worse.

TheUshMan

I'm sure you will get your B. I hope you get your course

But realistically I'll probably end up somewhere in between.

Anyway best of luck to everyone on the 15th of August and hopefully you can all relax and enjoy the break without worrying to much about the results!

AllyMcFearless

English: Praying for a B1/2
Irish: C1, made a mess of paper 2.
Biology: B1/A2.. I put so much work in..
Business: B3 would do
German: C1 would be nice..
Geography: B1, it was a nice paper
Maths (OL) : I don't care :P A B would be nice

Ideally these will be my results, but I really don't know!

FaoiSin

These are the targets but I don't know:

Irish - A1 - Hopefully, I think it went well
Chemistry - A1 - Did bad in the experiments but grand at the rest
Biology - A1/A2 - Would be disappointed with an A2 but I forgot part of a question and messed up the shorts
Ag Science - A1/A2 - Did a dodgy exam but I'm hoping I'll pull through
German - A2/B1 - First comprehension and Listening ruined it
Maths - C1 - If I'm lucky. Messed it up big time
English - Kind of impossible to predict? B/C/D. Kinda just made it up

Target - Need around 560 for my course but these targets are a bit optimistic. All I can do is wait :pac: Fingers crossed

Canard

I dunno how I did tbh but these are my pessimistic predictions:
(All HL)
English - B2
Irish - B2
maths - D3
French - A2
geography - C2
History: C1
Business - C2

giving me...450?

Optimistic:
English: A2
French: A1
Irish: B1
Maths: C2
Hist: B2
Geo: B3 (kills me inside)
Business: B2

giving me 525! Got that in my mocks though, looks like I won't be improving

urghhhh I'd die for an A1 in English though and could have gotten it but I won't get too hopeful. If I don't get it in French I'll cry.

I only need 410 for my course and I'm allowed to fail maths so yeah, should be fine...touch wood. :L

Wesc.

I hate doing predictions, because I'd be terrified of getting way less than them! But anyways here they are (All Higher):

Pessimistic
Maths - B1 (would be devastated with this :L)
Applied maths - B1
Physics - B1
Geography - B2
French - A2
Irish - B3
English - B2

Optimistic
Maths - A1
Applied Maths - A1
Physics - A1
French - A1
Geography - A2
English - B1
Irish - B1

Ok so that's 530 with Pessimistic and 600 with Optimistic, including the bonus points. I would ecstatic with 600, but I won't be getting my hopes up :P

Just singling these 3 out as i've talked to Wes and Patchy about Geography before, but do you guys think our Geography (in general) will be marked easily if everyone found it difficult? Like I remember Wes and Patchy got v.high grades in the mock and I myself got on quite well (B1), surely everyone found it difficult if people who got very high grades earlier in the year were disappointed with it? It's the one subject that's gonna stop me getting a Scholarship for College as all my other subjects went to plan and it's extremely frustrating! :mad:
