Hahaha, well I'll probably just delete this account and make another one before then, although I'll make sure to not call myself leaving cert! :L

1A, 5Bs, 2Cs and 2Ds. A bit disappointed as I got a D in English despite getting a B on the mocks. :mad:

AlanS181824 · 12-09-2013 5:54pm

Ah now!! :L
I'm in the middle of dainty little Carlow and there's 63 in TY! Loads gone into 5th too. I would expect a lot more than that giving its the capital.

Bazinga_N · 12-09-2013 6:35pm

2 As, 7 Bs and 1 C

Absolutely deligthed apart from Science! Really wanted the A but got a B! Ah well! Nothing I can do now

all Higher Level too

juniorcert · 12-09-2013 7:02pm

10 A's and a B!

I was delighted, wasn't expecting to do that well at all. Had to get a picture with the principal and all, I don't think I've felt that awkward in a while :L

I got a picture with my principal too but that's because I get on really well with my principal :L He seemed a bit disappointed in my results though

He told me I had more potential but tbh I blame myself, I was completely burned out at the start of third year and left the rest of the studying until May/June. That's my own fault though and the important thing for me to bring away from it is that I'll know better for the Leaving

You still did really good though and ya the junior cert really doesn't matter, all about the leaving cert now unfortunately

I'm happy out with my results

My goal was to get all As, Bs and Cs and that's exactly what I did so I'm happy out

I'm gonna be so much more prepared for the Leaving Cert xD

Well done everyone! Anyone thinking 'bout getting any result rechecked? Disappointed with my B in English! The percentage of people who got an honour in English was only 45%, compared to 80-100% in every other subject! Loads of people went down a grade too! For once I felt I'd done enough for an A so I think I may recheck it. I know it's only the junior cert and all that but ah well!

I wouldn't bother if it was me, a B is still excellent, you can obviously still do higher level for leaving cert (if that's what you did) and it's like 30 something euro if you're wrong and your result doesn't go up a grade.

I'm not worried about not doing higher level or anything

It's just that English was the one subject I never got an A in! I was always so close, but alas, never got there

Anyway, I'll think about it

Well if you do, I hope you get that A

Well, here in computers, learning how to use the tab key :eek: Really?:D

juniorcert · 13-09-2013 4:23pm

My irish teacher called me out of class today to tell me just how disappointed she was that I got a B :L Apparently she felt so disappointed she couldn't look at the other results after she saw mine :L And then she started to insist that I get it re checked, even though I'm fairly certain it should have been a B. I don't even want to get it re checked but she won't take no for an answer so I don't know what to do :L

Get it rechecked! I'm getting my english reckecked as although I wasn't sure if i deserved the A my teacher told me I should still get it done. I'm hoping to move from a B to an A.

I agree! I'm gonnna get my B checked too

AlanS181824 · 13-09-2013 7:58pm

€32 per test to get it rechecked I think..
A lot of hassle but if you believe you did better then by all means go ahead.
I had work today and apparently my brother was called out over the intercom to get in a picture for the local paper (Mixing us up)
No idea why as my results weren't the greatest but it was random I guess, a few other lads were called too.

Bluestrike · 13-09-2013 8:47pm

I think i will get History rechecked, maybe business or science too, but if I don't, its not like its gonna feck up what subjects/levels I want to take for leaving cert

The thing I'm taking out of this is that i am going to do after school study in school for 6th year cos I did nothing all year until a week before the JC cos I cant study and I get distracted

To check all them would cost like 96 euro though. History I'd check though, didn't you get like 95%+ in every test? :P

Bazinga_N · 13-09-2013 11:31pm

The one grade I was disappointed with was Science (I got a B but really wanted an A) and today my Science teacher said it to me and I said that I was hoping for the A so she made the suggestion of getting it re-checked. I'm not sure if I should, I'm positive I wouldn't go down a grade but maybe I just wasn't up to standard for the A but I was really happy with my test and put a load of effort into my investigation.

Anyone offer any advice?

I'd thought I'd gotten an A in Science as well but got a B too. To be honest, I dunno if getting it rechecked is worth it. 32 euro and chances are the original result would be correct, especially if it's only a grade off what you'd expected.

I think that anyway.

I won the competition i've entered! I won a Microsoft Surface Tablet! Woot!
