Reviewing Leaving Cert Papers

Phoenix Wright · 26-08-2013 4:26pm #1

I haven't received a viewing time yet by the Organising Superintendent for when I'm reviewing my papers. Is this the case with everyone or should I take action?

Havent gotten mine either, strange!

Haven't gotten mine yet. The best thing to do if you don't get any by friday is just to pop in on the friday anyway i did that last year and there was no problem.

Is it possible to change the title to "Reviewing Leaving Cert Papers"? I guess everyone gets the point either way

thegreatescape · 26-08-2013 5:52pm

I got rang by one of the teachers in my school about it and was given my time and date. I think you should call your school and find out.

Yes.

They'll probably come out in the post tomorrow or Weds; if not, maybe contact the school.

Does anyone know how long it takes for your result to come back if your marks were added up incorrectly? I read that you fill in a different form but not sure when it comes back.

Yes, it's a different form, and it definitely comes back a *lot* faster; couldn't give you an exact timeframe off the top of my head though.

I got mine in the post this morning so everyone else should probably expect them tomorrow?

wattiepad · 26-08-2013 10:41pm

I got mine around two/three days after bringing it into school. If you still haven't received it before Friday, I think you should just contact the school just in case, no harm.

Vito Corleone · 26-08-2013 10:53pm

I got mine two or three days ago I think, maybe contact the school if it doesn't arrive soon?

Phoenix Wright · 27-08-2013 9:21am

Thanks for the help everyone, my date finally came in the post today.

Can you only view them in the allocated slot? I want to view all of them as I need ten points and might not have enough time by using just Friday evening... Can I head back in Saturday if that's not long enough?

I'm not too sure. Your best bet would be to ask the supervising attendant when you arrive. I'm guessing it wouldn't be a problem. However, if he says that you can't return I would view the papers you felt most hard done by first. I.e If you always got A1s in Maths and got a D2.

Are you able to bring the Marking Scheme into the viewing?

There are usually of plenty of marking schemes there. That was the case with my school and I presume most others. I think the SEC send them out to the schools with the papers which are being reviewed.

They should have all the marking schemes there for you.

Phoenix Wright · 30-08-2013 9:38pm

Went in today to see that an extern brought me from an A2 to a B1 in English

I'm five points of my course, also got slated in paper 1 in Irish. I'm appealing up to four as it stands but at least two.

Just to confirm, I reviewed today and that was the case.

hfallada · 30-08-2013 9:55pm

I was 2 marks off a A2 in Biology. Plus I was 6 marks off an A1 in Geography. My written section was really good( got full marks in most questions). Yet I was hammered on the project, even though it was done perfectly( some of parts of my project were full marks, but I was hammered in part 3 & 4). Im definitely appealing the two even through I have the course I want.

Missed the A1 in Geography by 8 marks myself, my teacher said the correction was basically watertight though so I'm going to leave that one slide with a tear in my eye haha :pac:

mixery · 30-08-2013 10:11pm

Initially I got an A2 in Geo and B2 in English but then the chief examiner brought me down a grade in each

. I got my course though so I don't really care, but still pretty annoying.

oncex · 30-08-2013 11:03pm

what can i bring in, a calculator or anything?

ray2012 · 30-08-2013 11:19pm

Yeah, you can bring a calculator in with you.

I was in there earlier and my biology was corrected by the chief examiner too. I got a C1 by the first corrector but then the chief examiner brought me up to a B3 (exactly) so I was happy with that :P I think my Irish corrector was high or drunk while correcting my class' papers though.. Some marked extremely poor.

Slow Show · 30-08-2013 11:20pm

Lolz I win, one mark off an A1 in Maths. FML.

Tommyrawr · 30-08-2013 11:23pm

I got full marks in the project in geography and two srps off full marks for the geoecology essay (which I thought I did the worst in). The examiner only gave me 6/30 for Subcontinental India and 4/30 for Population of a European region. I had 2 pages of an essay done for each of these and was picking out the SRPS as I read through it. Found this really odd. Did anyone else not get 2 marks for naming the region/what you studied. My teacher always said 2 marks were always offered when you started off like that?

31-08-2013 12:04am

Are people appealing just because they're close to the next grade? Surely you'd see by the marking scheme of you've any chance of going up a grade?

hfallada · 31-08-2013 8:06am

My friends daughter viewed her paper last night and seen 3 major mistakes. Her ABQ was corrected in business and not added to her total marks( she got 80/80 marks in the ABQ). She didn't get her bonus marks for sitting her exam through Irish in one subject. Also in another exam the marks were added up wrong

Those type of mistakes don't have to be appealed though, right? She points the mistake out to the supervising attendant who makes a report and then her grades are changed. That's what we were told anyway.

thegreatescape · 31-08-2013 3:27pm

Appealing my A2 in Biology as there was sections I'd answered correctly but weren't marked on and the marks I should have gotten would bring me up to an A1 in total. Here's hoping anyway!

oncex · 31-08-2013 3:53pm

found the whole thing strange, got marked down by the chief examiner in histiory, my english wasnt counted up right. Biology was marked so hard, even if my answers were right they werent said in the exact same way
