Leaving Cert. pffffffft

You dont need that jazz. A load of bollox. I know some one who has no leaving cert and is very successful.

Not serious

It's not about the points, it's about where you rank on a percentile curve based on points achieved. 80th percentile reporting in :cool:

Currently working on a postdoc in Maths, I am applying for a teaching position which requires me to confirm on the application form that I achieved at least a 'C' in Junior Cert Mathematics, and there is a note at the bottom of the page to say that documentary proof may be required.
I have no documentary proof :-/ If it weren't for the money, it would be amusing to be turned down for the position on "mathematical" grounds.

And to think they said the JC would never matter...

eyescreamcone · 29-05-2014 05:22PM

In my day the maximum was 32 points (mid 80s)

A=5 (Maths +2)
B=4 (Maths +1)
C=3 (Maths+1)
D=2

We could also sit the NUI Matric exam and mix and match for points (no bonus points for Matric Maths).

Sound crazy but Medicine was about 25/26 points (500/520 in today's money)

I got a solid 21 points

Surely the cure for world hunger must be food?

It allowed me gain entry to my chosen course in university. Since then it has had zero impact.

The points I got got me into a course that I thought I wanted to do. I was wrong, but I changed course and stayed in the college, did a few extra-curricular things, and found the person who I married last year.

Actually Vito what course did you end up studying? Don't think I ever found out what most of the leaving cert forum regulars went on to study because I didn't read anything following the results that morning.

Ilyana 2.0 · 29-05-2014 05:36PM

570.

I have a freakishly good long-term memory, which was probably my saving grace seeing as I spent half my time daydreaming.

Cee-Jay-Cee · 29-05-2014 05:38PM

0 as there was no such thing as ridiculous points when I done mine.
