Chemistry 92%
DCG 89%
Leaves me with a grand total of 585 points (or 580) including bonus points.
I can still improve here and there though, I'd love to get DCG an Physics into A1's and Irish into any A!0 -

No what she meant was that before the 25 extra points you couldn't get 595, it was 600 or 590 but now it's 615 or 625 but nobody can get 620!

I know this isn't really my "territory" but I'm just wondering as you're doing DCG, is it a subject that you would recommend? I am currently doing Technical Graphics at Junior Cert and I am quite good at it, with 95% in my mock exam. Would you recommend that for Leaving Cert choices next year I go for DCG?0 -

I'm also gonna jump in here cause I also do DCG
I have to say I loved tech for the junior cert and I was glad I kept DCG on. First off, it's not necessarily a walk in the park! The drawing component of the course is just a continuation of the JC, only harder, but with 95% you should be grand with that I would imagine! The only part that you most likely wouldn't have touched on would be the DCG project (apart from naming Solidworks commands in the short questions from the JC Tech exam!) this is the part that is probably the most . . . . the word isn't hard, in fact its not hard at all to do very well in the project, but it's just time consuming, if you want to get the very highest marks you really need to put in a lot of time when you're doing the project! But of course you do the project from September to January of 6th year so at least you're finished it by the time your pres start! And on top of that it's worth 40% of your overall mark so if you do quite well in this it really reduces pressure for the drawing part! So in fairness the project has it's pros and it's cons!
Really at the end of the day the best advice I could give you is do the subjects you love and are good at, there's no point in keeping on sciences, for example, to "keep your options open", if you despise them and don't do as well in them as a subject that you prefer and are good at (incidentally I love sciences but that's beside the point!). I kept on DCG because I really loved Technical Graphics, like it is a subject I almost look forward to doing homework from because I can just turn on my iPod and in ways relax when doing my DCG! And really that's how you should base your options on!0 -

Thanks for the great advice. I think I will do DCG. Tech Graph's always been my favourite subject and our teacher is such a good teacher it'd be silly to not do it!0 -

385 is a well above average result.
Don't let posts claiming high points discourage you.
They are not necessarily all true - it's the Internet and it's boards and it's the LC forum.0 -

I'd defo go with DCG next year. I was always good at it. Got 99% in JC mock, got an A in the JC and I'm now finding it easy enough as subjects go.
The project is worth 40% though and is a totally different kettle of fish. Just make sure to put constant effort into it because it can take a looooot of after school time. For the final 2 weeks of it for example, I spent on average 4 hours a night on the portfolio and outputs (Left too much work to the end). Had it marked by my teacher and another DCG from another school that I know and both gave me 150+/160 so it's a nice thing to have before you even go near the actual written test.
If you go on and do DCG, give me a shout and I can give you a bit of help on your project if you're very stuck. (I mean advice of course before any people say it's "Illegal" or something silly like that

Really happy but still lots to do!!Maths - 96%

Spanish - 98%
History - 95%
Biology - 100%
Chemistry - 100%
Fairly happy overall, still plenty of work needing to be done though!
Well the fook done lads Unbelievable results! Very jealous of all your A's in Irish 0 -

Still waiting on Irish, but here's what I've gotten back, all HL. Absolutely delighted.
English: 88% A2
Maths: 65% C1
Spanish: 82% B1
Accounting: 62% C2
Music: 81% B1
Biology: 87% A2
So that's 510 points. Hoping for 475 so I have a bit of leeway. 0 -

Has anyone that does art gotten results? More importantly, does anyone feel they were marked extremely harsh? Was expecting a B1-A2 and got a C1 in my craft but hoping the history paper brings up my mark a bit. Examiner seems to be extremely harsh
In other news I got a D3 in HL maths and I'm soooo happy! Been failing up along and considering we hadn't everything covered I'm so happy! Still missed my first choice goal by a mile but I don't care 0 -
Snap failed nearly every test since fifth year and my teacher has been all but forcing me to drop. Now since I got 53% on paper2 he's telling me to stay up and concentrate on paper1 and that I'll do fine.
