You could always do LCVP for LC. It's not supposed to be too much work, but it's not worth the full 100 points either.

only 10% of the country actually get an A

that test was too easy. alot of the questions had to be rewritten from the passages like the ones on ann frank. anyone could have done that test

Fair enough.

But seriously all of you.

you will be surprised.

as a hell of a lot of my year were

Strokesa · 10-06-2005 3:27pm

It doesnt really matter anyway...its not worth ****.
But it would be nice 2 get an A.
But didnt any1 else thing that question about the politicians was hard?I no it was only 6 marks but still...i only knew mary harney cos my cspe teacher shouted it out as i was going in! But i have an extremely limited knowledge of politicians anyway.

Sweetness! · 10-06-2005 3:29pm

I also thought is was sooo easy. I didn't study anything for it but then who does and plus I already had 60% of the mark

Alqua · 10-06-2005 4:01pm

There was a question that asked for 2 documents the UN have drawn up to protect human rights. I got wrote the Charter for Human Rights (not sure if it was right) but does anyone know what the other one was?

Irishstabber · 10-06-2005 4:04pm

childrens rights...

Strokesa · 10-06-2005 4:04pm

hmmm yeah i wasnt sure either...
I wrote 'the right to be free from slavery' and 'the right to be free' which are not documents anyway! So what was the answer?

Irishstabber · 10-06-2005 4:05pm

UNDHR and Declaration of the Rights of the Child is what i said

Didn't have a clue, put down "Anti-aimbot cheetarr skum act 1968" and "Human rights act"....I don't expect to get an A, my project was **** and I didn't really care about the exam.

Fenny · 10-06-2005 4:10pm

I wrote "Charter for Human Rights" too, though I didn't get the second one. I thought the test was really easy, so I'm hoping for a B, anyway.
I do know (after the exam, of course!) that one of them was "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" - at least, I think so. Anyone get both?

Irishstabber · 10-06-2005 4:15pm

I put "2 documents the UN have drawn up to protect human rights" in a google ireland search and got "Universal Declaration of Linguistic Rights"...so the UNDHR and that probably answers

ouch! · 10-06-2005 4:17pm

****ing rediculously easy !!! A all the way

Hugh Hefner · 10-06-2005 5:22pm

Remember the Fairtrade question where part (i) was, "[From the picture] What is the name of the organisation promoting this initiative?" (Answer: Fairtrade) and part (ii) was, "What do Fairtrade guarantee?"? I was laughing my head off!

PurpleFistMixer · 10-06-2005 5:25pm

Yeah, I noticed that too. And was tittering to myself.

What's this thing about the UN? Was that an option, 'cause I don't recall answering that question...

Anyway, left after 45 minutes, would have been finished even earlier but I did the Earth Day and spend a reasonable amount of time fixing up my poster. Such a piece of art...

Hugh Hefner · 10-06-2005 5:34pm

Yeah, that Earth day poster was fun. My Earth Day poster could kick your Earth Day poster's ass!

Fobia · 10-06-2005 5:37pm

I was playing snooker at lunch, and as such forgot to buy colouring pencils or a ruler...so questions 1 and 3 were kind of unavailable to me

Hugh Hefner · 10-06-2005 5:41pm

I just used my pencil. I always do tests in pencil cos' it's much easier to erase. In fact, I don't even like using pens. Too impersonal. I like to feel my writing.

The exams wont be corrected for another month or so, during that time your answer books will be piled up in a warehouse somewhere; pencil is hard to read after a month of being piled up in a warehouse somewhere

Citizen_Erased · 10-06-2005 5:56pm

Dudes , I could not figure out when Anne Frank was born... I had the feeling the answer was right in front of me but I just couldnt get...a well, can you resit a JC?

Hugh Hefner · 10-06-2005 5:59pm

It said "Anne Frank was born seventy-six years ago....."

Citizen_Erased · 10-06-2005 6:00pm

No way, my poster was AWESOME. I mangled loads of countries and destroyed most of western Europe in my picture of the earth!

Ok, now THAT is awesome! Forgot to bring my colouring pencils and I feel there's something missing when you don't have pretty colours

, so I did Question 2.
Oh, PurpleFistMixer - the U.N. question was question 2 in Section 2. It was all about child labour, I think.

PurpleFistMixer · 10-06-2005 6:14pm

I didn't have colouring pencils either, but I felt like drawing a poster so I just did that question anyway. If I'd bothered I'd have shaded it with my pencil but eh, didn't think it was necessary. Not an art exam.

And crap, I don't even remember that bit....

Fobia · 10-06-2005 6:15pm

It was the last question on the Anne Frank piece afair. I aint exactly an artist (well, not a "manual" artist anyway) so my picture would have likely been a bad circle with Earth written in it...

I think that might've been the answer, the children's one sounds familiar.

That was an extremly easy question , surely you at least know Bertie is the leader of Fianna Fail .

Im not sure how well my project thing will do but my written exam is definetly an A .

Raphael · 10-06-2005 7:33pm

A's aren't that widespread. only a certain % of people in the country can get an A. A's in the mocks mean ****e, those are being corrected by non state examiners. They have no quota

PurpleFistMixer · 10-06-2005 7:37pm

Why the HELL do they have a quota of As?
Do they not want people to excell? o.O

Irishstabber · 10-06-2005 7:38pm

WTF a quota?

Who, me? · 10-06-2005 7:53pm

So, what happens if you get an A but it's over the quota? They mark you down, or something?

Fobia · 10-06-2005 7:55pm

It's a curve...you take a 100 people, 10 will be very smart, 20 moderately smart, 20 stupid etc etc. This is done on a nationwide basis with the JC and LC, the reason being that if an exam is too easy or too hard it shouldn't affect how good people do, as a certain amount of people have to get A's and a certain amount of people have to get D's.

However I'm not sure if this applies to CSPE because a) it's a common level, b) even teachers will tell you it doesn't matter and most importantly d) how many people get D's in CSPE?

Fenny · 10-06-2005 8:09pm

Interesting. But say, in a core subject, if a number of people over the quota get A's, will it be marked harder or something? (and, I suppose, does the same apply if there are too many people under the quota?)

Fobia · 10-06-2005 8:11pm

That's the idea, if you "deserved" to get 87% but too many other people got 90% you could drop down to a B, and if you got 83% but not enough people got over 85% then you could go up to an A.

Irishstabber · 10-06-2005 8:22pm

Thats a load of bull I say....idiots in the SEC

PurpleFistMixer · 10-06-2005 8:23pm

Oh my god I hate that. o.o

*prays that everyone is stupid. I'm sorry, but I want As*

Fobia · 10-06-2005 8:27pm

I know it sounds crazy and scary, but we needn't really be worried. I mean, half of the JC students wouldn't be very smart at all at all..

Fenny · 10-06-2005 8:29pm

It sucks, all right. So I suppose the only way to ensure we don't get marked down is to ace everything. Wonderful.

Irishstabber · 10-06-2005 8:32pm

yea lol...good luck all :rolleyes:

We can only hope.

I mean, I'm happy with my B's and C's, but there are a few subjects that I really want an A in.
