I got
Maths 92%
English 89%
Irish 83%
French 85%
Physics 86%
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 -

As I stand...
English-83%
Irish- 92% but waiting for p2 to be corrected
Maths-92%
French-88% (frustrated by this one!)
Biology-97%
Chemistry-90%
History-90%
So I'm on 615 with bonus points provided my Irish doesn't drop when I get P2 back! :S
Really happy but still lots to do!!0 -

That's exactly what I mean!Eurovisionmad wrote: »
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 -
