    Just wondering if people were happy with their chemistry results overall? Was it as expected? I'm just asking because I was giving 2 students grinds this year in chemistry and they were disappointed with their mark.

    I got an E at higher level which is of no surprise, but other people in my class were pleasantly surprised with what they got! I was never good at chemistry but I stuck at it and failed so I should have taken the ordinary paper

    If you check out how the exam results break down in the Irish Independent you will see how the results fared in comparison with last year's results. A1s in chem were down .2%, A2s were up .2%, Bs were up quite a bit, Cs slightly down. Don't think I'm allowed post the link here but it's the second most read article on independent.ie today.

    Yeah I was pretty certain I got a B1/A2 but I ended up with a B2. There was also a star beside it? The explanation on the back of mine just says 'Assessor's mark used for Written Paper' - what's that supposed to mean I wonder?

    I got a B3. I wasn't expecting much but after the exam I thought I might have a B2 or even B1. It's generally marked hard so happy to get a B anyway. I wasn't counting it for points either.

    Thought my result was fair enough, B2, wasn't really expecting any more or less so I am happy! :)

    I am very disappointed with my chemistry.
    I got a C1, and I was expecting at least a B2. I am not sure what happened here.

    Then I got an A1 in biology and I thought I would get a B3, haha, SEC works in mysterious ways :pac:
