    to those who have done the L.C before do you have to add your points up separately on the sheet you get or is that done for you down the aside or something?

    Your result sheet just gives the grade for each subject.
    You have to add up the points for each grade.

    When I went into the principal, she had added them up and asked if she wanted to tell me them or did I just want the envelope. The sheet just has the grades on it for each individual subject though so bring a calculator!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,604 ✭✭✭xOxSinéadxOx


    does it tell you on the sheet what each grade equals?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,429 ✭✭✭✭star-pants


    I can't remember rightly - but aren't what each grade equals to in points, written on the back of the slip?

    Guys this year they are sending them to your houses instead

    no just the grades! the principal and teachers no what ya got before hand. What ours done last year was gave us an ordinary report sheet with our grades and points on it.
    Everyone came out delighted with themselves (until they realised what she was at), turns out she added up all the subjects not just your six best.

    That can't be true.

    AFAIK they never send them out to your house. You have to go into the school to collect your results.

    That would be the most disapointing thing in the world!! I'd be so annoyed!

    down the bottom of the sheet it says A1 100-90% 100 points, A2 89-85% 90 points etc.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35 Nameajaysus


    You add them up yourself mostly. But in my school the principal calls us one by one into his office to get our results. He added up our results for us there and then. Took ages though and he added up a LOT of results incorrectly! :eek: :( :mad:

    hey thats just a site I know of where you can add up your points....I can't tell you how many times I am going to use that over the summer...ha dont you do it too much:p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,454 ✭✭✭mink_man


    you can do it on qualifax too!


  • Posts: 4,630 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    It's not very difficult to do with a pen and paper, or even in your head...

    For an honours subject, just round whatever % you get up to the nearest multiple of 5 (e.g. 73%, round up to nearest 5: 75) and that's the number of points it's worth.

    For an ordinary level subject, just do the same thing but subtract 40 from whatever it works out to be.

    It'll be trickier to do with grades I suppose, but once you know what a C3 and a B3 is worth it's not too difficult to work out the rest.

    If you cannot collect, results are available online or by phone.
    We were given special pin codes to allow us to do that if we dont wanna/cant go down to collect em.

    C'mon folks is this seriously a worry for you?

    If you don't do very well just ad up what you get, if you do very well ad up what you don't get,


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 160 ✭✭.:FuZion:.


    What time do you go into school to collect them in the morning?


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 27,290 CMod ✭✭✭✭spurious


    Most schools go and collect the results from the local delivery office and they would have them available shortly after the school opens.
    If the school is waiting on a postal delivery it will be later.

    There are a few house-keeping checks have to be done on results before they are issued, but they don't take long.

    Short answer, some schools will have them available from 9am or so, all should have them available by 11am at the latest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    Do the schools let you know when to come in or do you kind of just turn up on the day?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    Does the school open your results before you do?



    That'd be well cheeky.

    They get them on this sort of spread sheet thing, and they are the ones that put them into envelopes because the department send them with your exam number but the school put them in named envelopes.

    The results have to be checked.

    They arrive in a bundle of individually printed sheets (along with a spreadsheet without names). The spreadsheet will be checked to make sure the subjects are right and then the results sheets have to be put into individual envelopes for collection by the candidates - the carbon copy is generally held in the students' files.

    This takes about 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the school and the number of staff doing it.

    I've been involved in this before - you tend not to be looking at whose results they are, just that unexpected subjects haven't appeared in results.

    You collect them from 9am at your school, from midday on the internet and if I remember correctly, they end out your results with the offers of colleges on the consequent Monday.
