Funnily enough, I mod LC so spend a fair bit of time around them, and I'd be far more likely to make that comment about certain posters in AH!!

(And given that no matter how I phrase it that looks like a veiled dig at you, starbelgrade, I'm hereby clarifying that it isn't! :P)

Randy has always got our backs

You're a great mod

Getting the results tomorrow myself, my nerves are shot

Good luck to anyone else here floating around

I seem to be one of the only people who's not nervous about getting them! & that's not 'cause I'm convinced I did so well, 'cause in fairness I know I didn't do overly well considering I only studied the night before each exam, but the reason I'm not nervous is 'cause I know that no matter what I get, it's not gonna affect my life much. If you do a bad LC, there's plenty other options. I hate this attitude so many people have that ''oh if you don't do well in your LC, you're f*cked. That's it, you'll amount to nothing'' etc..

So c'mon, where are all our Leaving Certers with their results?

NegativeCreep · 15-08-2012 10:59AM

Passed everything and done much better than I expected! Don't think I got enough points for my first choice but I don't care as long as I get something!

Plazaman · 15-08-2012 10:59AM

I got eleventy hundred points (since I done my leaving cert 26 years ago i'm factoring in currentcy change, interest and the economic bailout).

I'm going to get drunk tonight anyway.

alwaysadub · 15-08-2012 11:02AM

Got my results 14 years ago, wouldn't go through it all again if I was paid.

Good luck to everyone getting their results.

fkt · 15-08-2012 11:02AM

435 points for me who needed and was barely expecting 355. Much love to you all

Duggy747 · 15-08-2012 11:07AM

I got a paltry 270 points, still made it to college and studied 2 different topics (Media & IT Systems) where I had loads of good jobs in those fields. Now I have a great IT job and enjoy doing it.

I know loads of people who went to college after getting good points, did their 4+ years and now work in jobs that have nothing to do with what they studied :pac:

And then the ones who didn't go to college after school / didn't get big points in the LC / did LC Applied / etc, are now going to college doing good but tough courses as mature students.

All that hype for LC but once you hit 23, it doesn't mean jack shìt.

The_Kew_Tour · 15-08-2012 11:56AM

One my best friends got 90 points in his leaving. He is now qualified Accountant, and bar one other friend is doing as good, if not better then the rest of us.

Yes its nice to get good leaving and gives you better and easier way to achieve and get what you want. But, it is not the end of the world. For minority it can be best thing that happens to you in long run as sometimes at yer age you need to get wake up call.

Jester252 · 15-08-2012 12:02PM

One mouth in college you will forget all about the LC. I got an exam recheck (the idiot forgot to add in 80 marks) and when I got it back I just didn't care anymore.

Your dead right. The leaving isnt a measure of intelligence, just memory. As Irish am said you have plenty of options as time is on your side. Plenty have people have went to to do phds without a leaving.

I've just realised I got my LC results HALF MY LIFE AGO! Still remember the moment like it was yesterday. Don't remember the evening so well...

True in more ways than you originally intended, I suspect! :pac:

Interesting replies to my original post ... thanks:).

Well HE DID IT ... passed EVERYTHING + got Leaving Cert ..... am so pleased for him!

When I think how hard it was over last two years - he just wouldn't go to school at all! Did so little study for the exams, and managed to pass them all!

Told him it goes to show how clever he is + definitely takes after his MUM:D:D

Mr Benevolent · 16-08-2012 10:27PM

Fair play, great news.

JupiterKid · 16-08-2012 11:13PM

That's great news Eden3.:)

At the time I did my Leaving I thought it was the be all and end all - the hype and pressure about the exam is immense. The day I went into the school to collect my results was a D-day. I ended up doing quite well and got the college course I wanted - but it was 20 years ago this year (1992) and it doesn't even figure on my CV these days.

The fact is the LC is not the be all and end all - if you do great, that's great - if you don't get what you were hoping for, you can take the longer road but still get there.:)
