I wanted an A but I think I got a B1 after messing up on Hamlet as the rest of the paper went grand. Paper 1 went okay and I know my composition was alright , I'm not sure about the letter but paper 2 will bring me up anyway

My Facebook status on Paper 2 was a bit risky, most people who liked it did the Leaving last year or a couple of years ago. I'd say if there was a dislike button most of my year would have clicked it. :pac: :P
What it say ? :L
Ha lads I studied the 4 poets that didn't come up, that takes skill ... anyone wanna calculate the probability of that happening ? :P0 -

""Heaney and Plath aren't coming up," I said. "OMG Sarah shhh you'll jinx it!!" they said. Great paper.

1.4%! :P0 -
It's unreal how upset people are getting! The annoying thing is that I was planning on studying Larkin and Kinsella but then my horse got a fracture so I lost an insane amount of time with the vet and x-rays etc. and never bothered.

I did ordinary level I got a B3 I didn't study for it though as I knew I'd be fine I could've got higher a grade, I should've really done honours I dropped it in 5th year as my teacher started making me worry when she went on about us having to study 40 poems and know loads of quotes . I took up honours this year most of my work I've handed up I've been getting either c1/b1/a1 strangely hasn't been below that or in the 2s/3s .0 -

Cool, fair play for doing higher this year!shefellover93 wrote: »Think I might have shnuck an A. Everything was good quality, essay on paper one was short but should get away with it and I didn't complete unseen but besides that everything worked out ok. An A2 would bring me up at least 15 points on my pre, didn't do enough to get an A1 at all!
Hope you made good use of the extra 'h's in words beginning with s throughout both papers, I've heard it's the only way to get an A!0 -

Am I seriously that unlucky? 0 -

I can't believe that bad luck:eek:
I knew Plath wouldn't be there, it seemed too sure a thing, I even txt my friends that last night:P

Will be lucky if a C3, and not because I didn't know it, but because I just blanked.
English exams despise me. All 3 of my favourite poets came up, a nice Hamlet question did too.
You probably did better then you think reznov, I'm sickened, made a stupid mistake on the paper 1 short story which is going to cost me a lot of marks, would have gone perfectly otherwise. 0 -

Oh don't say thatThey switched exam papers after rich died probably. Boland should have been there. I never liked Rich ... sneaky out ...
I can't even believe it :eek: My friend mouthed to me "dont look at poetry" when she saw the paperI can't believe that bad luck:eek:
I knew Plath wouldn't be there, it seemed too sure a thing, I even txt my friends that last night:P
Phil Larry ya legend and sure enough I nearly died. All I could badly attempt was Rich
Cian you are too lucky :P give me some of your luck :P0 -

I also blanked I was one page into Hamlet and couldn't think of what I was going for next. The Larkin question I did was ok but I thought it was worded badly. He's not a cynical poet he's realistic. 0 -

Does anybody else feel like they just finished their Leaving Cert?:o
I will tomorrow anyway! If I get 60% or higher on this paper I should be guaranteed to pass Maths 'cause I'll do grand in Paper 2. Really want a B3 now though, just for the 100 points! :P Plus it'd be nice to have all As and Bs in my results this year. 0 -
