JC 2K3

lol, I remember my mocks the two subjects I got As in I got Bs for the real JC(Irish and CSPE)

If I'd gotten my Irish exam rechecked I'd say I'd have got an A, the school suspected a bad examiner because a surprising amount of good students got Bs in Irish, as for CSPE they were obviously taking the piss with a test that easy and stupid so I took the piss with my answers: "Why are there more male polititions than female?" "Because more male polititions were elected than females"

In my CSPE mocks they gave us a bloody wordsearch! Thats just pathetic, they havve NOTHING to ask us! Its soo easy!

But, I don't care, so save it for later peeps.

Science: 78% B :D

declan_lgs

Maths: 92% A!:D:D:D:D:D:D: 87% in paper 1, 97% in paper 2. Wasn't marked for the trigonometry question cause we've not got that covered. Just off-the-record, I cannot remember the last time I did my Maths hw. The teacher doesn't correct the hw, and alot of the students don't do it. I sit at the very back of the class and usually study for other tests (coming up that day), or do my hw. The teacher doesn't care (he is a good teacher. Highest result in the class was 94% iirc).

Business Studies: 79% B :D: Didn't get any of the accounting questions to balance, wasn't expecting a good result (79% is good imo).

Technical Graphics: 87% A :D:D:D

Geography: 75% B

So I'm happy with all of my results.
2 As, 7 Bs, 1C :eek:... waaay better than I expected

declan_lgs

AHHH!
Now I get the whole "too many images" error, heh.
Why didn't it say SMILIES?

I wrote "batman" for near every short answer in the CSPE mock, and filled up the three pages on a letter to a lawyer about how I hate lawyers inviting him to come talk to my class about how he's so lawyer'ish and why I should be elected Batman in the next election unless it is fixed by the EVIL PENGUIN! ...I couldn't help myself

Can you sit religion for the junior cert now?

I think it's more a case of you have to site religion for the junior cert now....

Yeah CSPE is so easy there is no way of failing that. If you do you need help.....serious.

Unless you've got an unbelievably sh1t teacher. I got a D in CSPE, along with 5As and 5Bs, all at higher level, in my other subjects. It's all down to your teacher really...
If you like CSPE, definetly do LCVP for the leaving cert. Easiest 70 points there is, but again, you need a fairly decent teacher.

philologos

does every 1 have to sit Religion for the JC i thought it was choice of the school but i have to do it

newgrange

I think Religion is being piloted in a number of schools this year, and will go countrywide later - sort of in the same way some schools did CSPE a couple of years before everyone else.

PurpleFistMixer

Next year the 3rd years in my school will have to do it. I count myself extremely lucky.

And I've got a feeling I've got a bad CSPE teacher. A bunch of girls now in 6th year that I know almost got straight As in their JC, only for a B in CSPE because of that damn teacher... we're barely half way through our Action Project at this point.

I've got back my science result - 98% [Insert ridiculous amount of smilies here]

Was your science paper an offiacial test made by a company or was it made by the teacher? 1 science class in my school got a teacher made 1(i didnt)

Everybody in my class got Cs, bar maybe 4 Ds and 2 Bs - out of approx. 35 people. The classes were streamed, so the people who were in the class were supposed to be more "academically orientated" (since ours was the highest stream) and get better exam results than the lower streamed classes. For the most part this was true - except in CSPE. In which we performed worst in the school. Ever!

You've got to question the quality of the teacher after results like that.

philologos

CSPE is just common sense lol some ppl must had done extremely badly in their action project

Yeah, it was official, pretty much. We haven't done Habitat Studies so the teacher changed just 1 question I think.

So far I've gotten these results back:
English: 88%
French: 93%
Science: 94%
Technology:99%

Who put it there? Not me! *runs*

Some people (like Purplefistmixer and J Campion) are either naturally good at loads of subjects or study alot. I personally only excel in a few categories (computers, maths, science) as I find them interesting and none of them require any studying (bar biology but who likes biology?) really if you listen when you're being taught/teach yourself.....

The goal of school as I see it is two things:

1. To increase overall knowledge and help you grow as a person intellectually.
2. To get into college.

The first one is pretty much covered no matter how much you study, so the second one is what takes work.

Now this is the time of your life when you begin to think "what do I want to be?", for me the answer is clearly related with either computers, maths or music. So the goal is to get points, that's all, meanwhile I'd prefer to read a maths book/novel or learn about wireless networking rather than study extra for that 90% in a subject I have no interest in....

My results from the mocks arent going to be good, that's for sure, but life goes on....even failing the leaving cert isn't the end of the world

Mysteryfish

Sorry Fobia but I like Biology! But I agree with you about the goals of school. And it is much easier to study or learn about subjects you actually like but I suppose the learning of boring subjects is part of what makes you grow as a person, because in life you're not always going to be able to do only the fun stuff. (unfortunately). Not that that makes Geography any more bearable.

Fobia

Boo biology hiss plant reproduction

[off-topic] I've got a question about your sig that doesn't warrant a pm; what exactly do you mean by "right"?!?[/off-topic]

PurpleFistMixer

Yeah, I've always had that attitude to religion. Although that doesn't affect me because I don't have it as an exam subject. But if I DID, I just wouldn't bother with putting effort into it at all.
The rest of them.. I really don't know. I don't put much effort in other than doing my homework, some crazed studying the night before.. seems to work thuogh. =D

God you take me to seriously

It means that just because it's popular doesn't mean it's the right or proper thing to do, it doesn't make it ok. For example, if smoking is popular that doesn't necissarily make it ok or good to smoke. And then the other bit is that sometimes you have to say or tell something,for example, but people could dislike that you told it. Do you follow?

Heh, you're so like me, I'm brilliant at Maths and Science but I hate biology, because it's not based on maths or logic, you're just studying random facts.

PurpleFistMixer

I concur heartily! Biology sucks.

I gots 3 A's and the rest B's. All higher. In fairness, I didn't study, so I expect a few grade changes by October. (Not in a "cos I deserve them, cos I'm great" kinda way. In a I shall knuckle down to worketh way.)

Maybe not on irc/msn/other chat networks (though I try to none the less..), but you've got a full keyboard to type on, and no time limit to post in (whereas when talking to someone you might want to say something fast etc).....so what excuse is there for not using correct grammar and spelling?

We all make mistakes of course, but not trying is just laziness

Indeed.

Oh, and biology is ok. Learn the stuff, and its easy. Besides, I'm doing LC biology, and I diseccted a lamb today!

CSPE is just the governmaent's way of brain-washing you into blindly acepting the eurocratic crap that they peddle to the country. The lower your result the less you've been brainwashed. I got a C. Anyone who wants to call me stupid can do so to these
Maths A
Irish A
Science A
Business A
History A
All higher level

i can confirm those results as genuine i wholeheartedly agree with his views

PurpleFistMixer

Haha... you realise the CSPE exam consists of ticking boxes and answering questions which might as well be on a 5th class english comprehension paper if such a thing existed? The hardest part of it is the long questions at the end, and even at that.. come on, it's nothing taxing. And hardly political.

Myself got more results today. Well, just the one, but I'm happy. =D Got 96% in maths, so.. YAY!

4Xcut

i didn't say it was hard i said it was government brain washing. at no point do they ask for your views, they merely tell you what they think your views should be.

PurpleFistMixer

Since when has ANY exam or subject in school been about views? They can't grade you on views (well in english they can mark how eloquently you put forth said views, but that's a different kettle of fish), so why would they be in an exam?
But come on, you're making it out to sound like a grand conspiracy. As far as I can recall, my paper had an article about energy conservation in it and I had to answer questions about the information in the article. So what if the article told me to use double glazed windows if I don't agree with that (why anyone would both not agreeing with that makes no sense, but this is just an example), it's just asking you to comprehend the article. It's not telling you to change your views, it's one single exam. If you can lie blatantly in the rest of your exams ("I love this poem because it uses metaphor..."), then you can in this one.

Fobia

You got the same CSPE mock as me so PurpleFistMixer

"List 2 tips on how to conserve energy"

On top of paragraph; "tips to conserve energy", hard stuff.

The only thing I don't agree with is the fact that you have to call third world countries "developing" countries...I don't think it matters really. They don't impose any views on you, they just tell you what you already know, the exams seems to consist of three categories; racism, pollution/energy wastage and something to do with Ireland.

If only they had it for leaving cert
