So, how do you think you did? / will you get your course?

FordieMUFC · 27-06-2010 01:57AM #1

Will how you performed in your own mind be enough to get you into college? I'm looking for around 450+ and that should be more than enough for BIS in UCC (unless it shoots from 390 last year to 480 this year :P:eek:)

I say I'm looking at that if things with regards to correcting go my way.

Chemistry HL - hopefully a B1, but can't see that, so B2 probably.
English HL -Always get B2's, so hope this is the same.
Geography HL - A2 should be my grade considering I feel I did better than I did in my pre and I got 87% in the pre. But you never know.
Irish OL - not counting it.
French HL - B2 probably, if I'm lucky a B1
Maths OL - B2-A2. Not quite sure, doesn't matter too much really.
Business HL - did bad compared to my usual standards, so probably a B2. Not saying a B2 isn't a good grade, because its a very good one. But the amount of work I did all year I felt (as my teacher did) merited an A1. But hey, doesn't matter. (unless I have to repeat haha)

That is if things go according to how I felt I did however, which usually isn't too accurate if I'm being honest :rolleyes:

TBH I don't want to think about it that much because I will probably raise my hopes up a bit too high and then be really disappointed

H2student · 27-06-2010 09:04AM

I'm guessing between 0-600 points. I seriouisly don't know. I feel like I did very well in Maths, but when I went home, I realise I made loads of mistakes. I don't even know if I passed HL english!

**Timbuk2** · 27-06-2010 09:59AM

Unlike most other people, I can never tell how I did in an exam afterwards! I know whether I passed or failed, but I couldn't possibly tell whether I got an A B or C, never mind the denominations within those grades!

I try not to think about exams too much because the more I think about them, the more mistakes I think I made!

muffinz · 27-06-2010 03:10PM

i reckon i got between 300-360.... the lowest amount of points I have down on my CAO is 365... As long as i get that ill be happy!

DancingQueen:) · 27-06-2010 03:22PM

I have no idea, it was a lot harder than my mocks so i'm pretty sure I got lower than 430 but then again I studied so much more and put in a lot more hard work. I'd love 440 for my first choice (if it doesn't go up).

Maths A1-Absolutely, 100% nailed on.

Applied Maths A1-Same as above.

Accounting A1-Same as above.

Chemistry A1-Pretty confident, I know I made 1 or 2 mistakes but I don't think it was 40 marks worth.

History A1-Hard to predict, but I felt I did really well, I'd covered all the topics and knew it really well.

English B1-The hardest to predict. Could be an A1, could be a B2, can't really tell. My essay was just OK, but my Paper 2 was excellent.

German B3-Really, really good, much easier than I was expecting.

Irish C2-Really fúcked up Paper 2, but I did a good Oral. I'll be happy with an honour.

All Higher Level

That leaves me on 585, which I'd be pretty happy with!

This is a thread asking people how they think they got on, so it's hardly boasting. He/she was asked.

Vurnon San Benito · 27-06-2010 09:56PM

I think I did dire to be perfectly honest.
Will range from 300-340 so I'll be repeating, some subjects anyway

Irish - Oral was good, Tapework also a disaster, talked ****e for the written. C2 hopefully
Accounting - Another disaster, didn't do well. Lucky to pass again. D2 if lucky.
Construction - A right nasty exam, we weren't prepared for it at all. C2 if lucky.
Maths - P1 had tricky bits, P2 simple enough. Should be a C1 or B3, but won't count it.
French - Lucky to pass. Bad oral, terrible tapework and an average exam. I'd take a D2
English - Think I did very good here, hope so anyway. B3 hopefully!
History - Did ok, should've done better. C2 I'd say.

There's a big difference between thinking you got 585 points and actually getting 585 points. I remember someone from last year bragging about how they got 550+ easily and had their course in the bag. Come August they were back talking about repeating.

After following the maths, applied maths and chemistry aftermath threads I think it's fairly safe to say that he is getting 585.

The___________ · 27-06-2010 11:30PM

Do you feel confident about getting your 1st choice course come August?

Personally I'm delighted with how the leaving went and reckon I'll get 520-540 which will leave me comfortably above last years points for my desired course (Commerce+Accounting NUIG 465)

What of the rest of you? How nervous will you be come results day?

Im not sure. Everything was going great until that horrid AG test. I was looking for 475 for Primary Teaching in Pats, which I think will be very touch and go right now.

English-So happy with this probably the two best English test I have ever done really hopeful of a B1

Maths-Paper 1 was unbelievably easy and I definitely got over 90% in it, however my school was part of the project maths trial so we faced paper 2 with only 2 bloody sample papers found it quite tough-although our teacher believes that we will 'looked after' in the marking scheme-hopeful of an A2 or possibly an A1 depending on how easy paper 2 is marked

Geography-Probably my 2nd best subject and definitely the one that I have enjoyed the most over the past 5 years-exam went quite well wrote plenty for every question along with a very solid project I'd expect an A1 here

Accounting-My best subject by a mile although the exam itself was quite tricky in parts I was well prepared and expect an A1 in August

Economics-after our ridiculously easy mock paper were nearly everyone in our class got above 80%, I was worried that this would prove to be very difficult-fortunately I had 4 full days of cramming beforehand and this helped be immensely-hopeful of at least an A2

French-By far my worst subject and I seriously neglected it after our orals-be very lucky to get a C1 after a hard exam paper

Irish-my only pass subject so I didn't do a tap of study all year for it-left both exams after 35mins to go home and study for other subjects!-C3 likely

So overall between 520-550 would be delighted with results like that!

I'm not trying to boast, I'm answering the thread. Anyway, 585 won't be a big deal in my house, my sister got 600 last year.

I'm trying to beat my brother and sister who both got 460 should have done it quite easily

zam · 27-06-2010 11:54PM

500 - 585

EuropeanSon · 28-06-2010 12:05AM

Yeah. I need 4As (A1s or A2s doesn't matter) and 1 B, including As in Maths and Applied Maths. I'm certain I got those two, plus Accounting, and very confident about Chemistry and History too, so I should get it comfortably.

Calum196 · 28-06-2010 12:32AM

Chemistry - A1

Biology - A1

DCG - A1

Geography - A1

Business - A2

And the absolute disaster, Ag Science - B1/B2

So hopefully i should land around 570/580ish

lalee17 · 28-06-2010 12:37AM

I honestly have no idea how I got on, now that I think about it. Hopefully I got approx. 400 points =/

**Timbuk2** · 28-06-2010 08:48AM

All HL

Accounting - B1 / A2
Maths - B1 / A2
Geography - A1 (not boasting, but I was really pleased with it!

)
Irish - C3 / C2
French - C2 / C1
English - C1/B3
Applied Maths - B1/A2, if I'm really lucky an A1

So, how do you think you did? / will you get your course?
