How many points did you get in your Leaving Cert?

Vito Corleone

Oh yeah, I went there. I asked. Whup whup! I'm drunk but I don't care, how many points did you get? I got over 500. :cool:

Arthur Beesley

Leaving Cert. pffffffft

You dont need that jazz. A load of bollox. I know some one who has no leaving cert and is very successful.











Not serious

It's not about the points, it's about where you rank on a percentile curve based on points achieved. 80th percentile reporting in :cool:

Currently working on a postdoc in Maths, I am applying for a teaching position which requires me to confirm on the application form that I achieved at least a 'C' in Junior Cert Mathematics, and there is a note at the bottom of the page to say that documentary proof may be required.
I have no documentary proof :-/ If it weren't for the money, it would be amusing to be turned down for the position on "mathematical" grounds.

And to think they said the JC would never matter...

In my day the maximum was 32 points (mid 80s)

A=5 (Maths +2)
B=4 (Maths +1)
C=3 (Maths+1)
D=2

We could also sit the NUI Matric exam and mix and match for points (no bonus points for Matric Maths).

Sound crazy but Medicine was about 25/26 points (500/520 in today's money)

I got a solid 21 points

Surely the cure for world hunger must be food?

It allowed me gain entry to my chosen course in university. Since then it has had zero impact.

The points I got got me into a course that I thought I wanted to do. I was wrong, but I changed course and stayed in the college, did a few extra-curricular things, and found the person who I married last year.

Actually Vito what course did you end up studying? Don't think I ever found out what most of the leaving cert forum regulars went on to study because I didn't read anything following the results that morning.

Ilyana 2.0

570.

I have a freakishly good long-term memory, which was probably my saving grace seeing as I spent half my time daydreaming.

Fcuk !!!!! I would have studied more if I'd known that was one of the perks

Back when the max was 30

shruikan2553

Aimed for 400, got 405. Needed them to get into my course and since then they have done nothing.

Penny Tration

540, iirc.

Came down to having a good memory, because I'm not particularly intelligent.

It did feck all for me. I studied Environmental Science, hated it, left.

Now, I'm going back to college in September, and my points don't matter a jot because I'm 25.

0 because I was on boards talking ****e too much

Doylers

355, im **** at remembering stuff I dont care about. Now im kicking ass in the subjects I like in college and failing programming with style :cool::cool:

charlietheminxx

440.... For all the good it did me! I think I could have done better if I actually out some work in. Which is probably why I crashed out of my degree.

zl1whqvjs75cdy

Whatever the highest score in this thread is +5.

wandatowell

Just below 400 which is about average.


Average sums up my whole existence which is o.k. with me.

smileyj1987

325 and I spent most of my school days in trouble or suspended .

Legs.Eleven

No option for "loads"?

mickydoomsux

300 and something. In my defence, I did study for it at the time by playing my way through Final Fantasy 8 on the PS1.

Pherekydes

Nuttin'. Zero. A big fat duck egg. A washout. I didn't do it! :pac:

I left school at 17 after 4 years of secondary and joined the army. I can't even claim an 'A' in Inter cert maths. But I can (could) hit a bullseye at 300m.

Rory Gallagher

I haven't done the leaving yet but I already got my points.
Five billion.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

We didn't have points at all. You needed honours in particular subjects to enter courses. A grades were as rare as hen's teeth in those days too.

I enjoyed doing the leaving cert so much, I repeated it

I can't remember
