    Home run now guys and gals :cool:
    I can't wait for it all to be over if I'm honest
    I'm physically and mentally exhausted
    Make sure to make time for decent sleep and exercise, and eat properly.

    The last thing you want is to be wrecked come June.

    Analysis so far...
    English 1: Really nice speech title but Bono's speech was atrocious to read
    English 2: Absolutely delightful, comparative was the easiest
    Geography: Again delightful, short questions were a treat :)
    Maths 1: It went so so so bad, considering paper 1 is my strongest paper it was the volume of calculus that killed me... i have definitely failed HL maths... no college for me as paper 2 is satan :(:(

    You really don't know how the marks will be allocated and you wont know until august, you most probably passed, just saying, very few people fail.

    Satan can be seduced too! ;)

    Forget about Paper 1 and focus on preparing for Monday. Go in there and attempt every little bit of a question that you can. Every mark counts ...

    Burst out laughing in a pub because of this :D:D

    Analysis numero dos
    Maths 2: okay I mean I'm not quite sure how it went :(
    Irish 1: the aural was too easy and the essay titles were so broad.
    Irish 2: absolutely lovely , chuffed with it
    Biology: not so chuffed, fairly odd paper if you ask me
    German: alright apart from the aural. It sounded like gibberish. Praying for a B

    And Wednesday I have economics, hoping for a B3 at worst :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,027 ✭✭✭is mise spartacus


    Well Economics was a deeeesasssteeerrrr

    It's all over now, you literally can't do anything until you get your results so better just to forget it :)

    seeing as your done?? do you have any tips/guidelines for us going into the lc??

    Get your projects and oral work done as quick as possible
    Organise yourself
    Don't rely on any predictions based on patterns of previous exams because the SEC issued a report on predicability recently
    If you need a break, take it! Exams can be taken again, your health is a once off
    Start oral preparations during Christmas holidays like learning some phrases etc
    If I think of some more I'll put them here :)
    Best of luck

    thank you and do you believe in getting ahead during the summer?? :)

    thank you and do you believe in getting ahead during the summer?? :)

    I did and my friends thought I was crazy!! But then I wasn't the one panicking over lost notes :pac:
    Seriously even if it's an exam question a week it will be beneficial, no need to be tied to a desk all summer just little things if it's raining or there's nothing on Netflix you've already seen :p
    I'd get ahead with oral work if I were you, it will save you the stress next year

    You of all people deserve to get what you want, just look at the length of this study log! :)

    You might as well take your mind off it for now, try to enjoy tonight whatever you end up doing. A few colleges have a maths entrance exam you can sit again, so it's not the end of the world. If you felt like you might've been close to a pass it's worth viewing the scripts with your teacher, you only need 38% percent and there's a chance that the examiner made a mistake when adding up marks so you never know. Worst case scenario, provided you get enough points overall you could just repeat maths and take a year out. Honestly a little part of me would love to be forced to do just that, but I know that's not what you planned to do.

    Just enjoy tonight, you owe it to yourself ;)
