    It completely threw me - I took accounting as an extra subject on my own and I doubted everything - nothing looked right down on paper - didn't know where to put anything - I can't imagine there is anything that can be done now - all I would ask would be if I failed that it would not appear in my results at all - I never failed anything and don't want a fail in my Leaving Cert Results.

    Anything, I think it's best to forget it now and not to talk or think about it again - never want to see another account even though I liked the subject

    Let the summer begin

    Probably nothing that can be done about it now as regards your paper but I would recommend getting on to the SEC about it, it might prevent it from happening in coming years! As said already, give some a little power and they become obsessed with it. Anyways, no point in carrying out postmortems on Accounting now. Enjoy the summer! Because it is true what they say... the summer after your leaving cert is the best summer you'll ever have! ;)

    Anyone have any solutions? I really want to know where I went wrong with that service firm, but there is no way I'm gonna try that sh*t again :P

    Anyone else pissed off with their result? Somehow got a B1 instead of an A1

    i definitely will. i won't get my course without an upgrade

    I ended up with an A2 when I REALLY thought it would be an A1, so, I'm definitely going in for a look at the paper. Have a couple of other issues with the results (one big one), so, I'm just going to view all of my papers.

    me too. i thought i had a genuine chance of getting near 100%. was absolutely disgusted to see b1. hoping it was a mistot or something

    Hopefully that or they didn't mark some small theory part. I imagine I will go in to view it and my mark will be between 89-89.9%. Hopefully I can find something small that was left out that could bring it up :) Good luck with yours too! I remember on mine that everything balanced except the main profit and loss, but, I think it was only a small error (maybe one adjustment or adding blunder). My other questions added up perfectly; the suspense and service went well and also the production budget was easy enough. I'd be surprised if I genuinely lost over 10% of the marks. I don't know... maybe loads of adjustment mistakes? I did think I did most of them perfectly though. I suppose I will see on the day!

    got a B3. Bit disappointed was hoping for a A2/B1 will prob get it cheaked. I think maybe the marking scheme was harder this year because it was a pretty easy and doable exam.

    I got an A1 but one really good guy in my class got an A2. It cost him 625 and he had been an A1 all along. I'm guessing the marking scheme was tough because the paper was so predictable. People also under-estimate the level of detail required for the theory sections, so maybe that cost you guys some marks.

    Accounting was my guaranteed A1 subject, but when I came out of the exam I knew I hadnt gotten it, my sole trader wasnt great and my timing was off... but I thought I had definately gotten the A2, came out with a B1 which im really not happy about, and neither was my teacher, so I will definately be viewing/rechecking

    Regardless of what you got don't justify it your self! Review your paper if you're in any doubt at all. Look its free and won't take you that long to do. Your teachers are allowed come around and have a look too and they'll recognise if you were docked marks somewhere that you shouldn't have been. I viewed one of my papers that I really wasn't happy with last year and my grade increased from a B3 to a B1. Worth a shot anyways! :)
