Mock VS Leaving Cert Results

Sucette!

I actually went down 5 points.
English B2 > B3
Irish A1 > A1
Maths C2 > B3
French A2 > A2
Biology A2 > A2
History B1 > B1
Chemistry A1 > B1
555>550
Pres were a pretty good indicator tbh, but for me anyway it really did depend on the paper on the dag .

525 -> 555

OL Maths C2 -> A1
HL English B3 -> B2
HL French B1 -> A1
HL German A1 -> A1
HL Biology A1 -> A1
HL Ag Science A1 -> B1
HL Chemistry C2 -> A2

Absolutely delighted with my results!

I managed to improve on all my grades except Ag Science... Our mock was ridiculously easy though and I never really enjoyed the subject so I neglected it a tiny bit... Really regret that now tbh.

Other than that I have to admit I'm a German native speaker so I was basically guaranteed an A1 in that subject, additionally I was exempted from Irish. Almost feels like cheating haha.
I'm pretty proud of that B1 in HL English tbh, since I've only been living here for two years that's a big achievement for me

I'm going to view all of my exam scripts just because I'm curious as to how they were marked, I also feel like I just need that sense of closure, y'know?
And who knows maybe I can up that grade in Chemistry a bit, >560 points would be fantastic as I would qualify for the NUIG Excellence Scholarship, having missed it by 5 points ready annoys me (thinking about the money )!
I'm going for Biomedical Science BTW, hope the points will stay close to 545 so I'm definitely safe getting in...

Anyone else going for Biomed in NUIG?

EoghanIRL

All my results stayed pretty much the same except maths .
D2-b1

Definitely worth sticking with hl for bonus points as I knew the mock in my school was poor .

This is key. So much depends on the quality of the mock paper and even more so the quality of the correction.

Are the people who went down surprised or was the mocks thread on here to blame?

Thought it was a reason, but I had thought our mocks were DEB, but all turned out to be Examcraft so none of the stuff I helped me.
