Mock VS Leaving Cert Results

Lollipop95

How did yours compare? I had very big gaps in home ec and biology. Did higher level home ec. In the mocks I got an E and came out with a C3 in the real thing. For my ordinary level biology mock, I received an F - C2 for the leaving cert. For English at higher level. I got a C3 in the mocks and this time I got a C1. Failed higher business by a few percentage, dropped to ordinary and got a B2. Also failed FL maths embarrassingly in the mocks (subject I've always struggled with majorly) and got a D2 this time. However, my grades did drop in French and Irish, which I know is definitely due to the orals! C2 in irish this time, got a C1 in the mocks. For French, I received a B3 in the mocks and my lc result was a C1. Irish and French were both ordinary! SO, yeah quite a lot of fluctuating How did everyone else do compared to the mocks?

525->600

I improved all my results except for the subject I wasn't counting. I got no A1s in the mocks. I'll list them all with mock result first followed by actual result.

Eng: A2 -> A1
Irish: A2 -> A1
Maths: C1 -> B1
Acc: A2 -> A1
French: B1 -> A1
Chem: B3 -> B3
Business: C1 -> A2

My business mock was probably worth about a B2 but the "corrector" didn't actually read our answers at all.

I'm glad I got all the A2s in the mocks to A1s though, and I was really happy with the languages.

Got 545 in the mocks and 535 in the LC. Safe to say I was pretty annoyed on Wednesday. Got consistent A1's in Geography and Economics the past 2 years and ended up with an A2 and B1 respectively. Honestly don't know where I went wrong between Feb. and June but I guess I just didn't perform on the day.

Same here points-wise

Went down from an A1 in maths in both mocks (we did 2) to a B1, but went from a B3 in applied maths to an A2 which made up for it :pac:

Went from 285 in the mocks to 460 in the real thing
I was very disappointed in the mocks and that motivated me to work a lot harder for the LC
Got and E in Business and Physics in the mocks and got a B1 and B3 respectively in the real thing.
Just goes to show that anything is possible.

English - C1 - A1
Irish - B2 - B1

So happy that literally every subject, bar two, improved!

Very surprised with english and irish going up so I'm fairly delighted overall. except for maths, im gonna view it and see if its worth appealing but I'm not exactly gifted at maths so I wasn't expecting more than a C2 and if I got a D1 I'm not all that surprised :pac:

Oh yeah, Irish. :rolleyes:

No I did actually do Irish. Up until the mocks I actually did a decent bit of work for it, but I hated the course and just wasn't bothered, so I did ordinary level for the real thing. I'm a little bit bitter about it to be honest so I just decided to leave it out hoping nobody would notice.

I went up but unhappy with some subjects.

Irish HL b3-b3 (wasnt counting and did about 20m study)
English HL b1-C1 (!!!)
Maths HL C2- B1
Business HL B1-A1
Spanish HL B1 - A1
Art HL B1- B1
Ag Science HL A2- B2.
(520-550)

really frustrated at english as ive been a good B1 student all year and got a couple of A graded essays before June. Not sure if it was something on the day but definitely looking at it. Did anybody else go down substantially in english?
Went down in AG science too, but a b2 isnt too unbelievable , maybe im just too used to getting 100% in our teachers handy tests.

Wow such ridiculously high standards on here!! Id say average is mid 500's Why is this because thats certainly not representative of most the country

People who scored lowly may not want to post on this thread because of others scoring so highly
Also some people may not be totally truthful either (it happens)
There are a lot of factors to consider here to answer that question...

Because it takes an exceptionally strange kind to use their free time in Leaving Cert to talk about the Leaving Cert.

Kind of embarassed for anyone who feels the need to lie about their score on an anonymous forum

People are just utterly ridiculous at times, its a fact :rolleyes:
I would be surprised if mods haven't seen a similar trend in threads like this over the years myself

and it's the high achievers who tend to obsess.

Plus this site / forum always seems to be the "go to" place for the wannabe meds, and they tend to be high scorers.

Macavity.

I went up 10 points.

GillespieRoad

Went up a minute 5 points, Geography has totally bamboozled me and I'm disappointed with English as I was expected to get a B1/A2. Other than that it makes sense I think.
English C1 > B3
Maths C2 > A2
Econ A1 > A2
Geog A1 > B2
Dcg B2 > B1
French B1 > B1

Thats 525 to 530 provisionally before recheck in geography.
