"The leak featured on the boards.ie website as early as 3.45pm yesterday. News of the leak was also communicated around the country by text message and e-mail."


fucking boards.ie, I might have known

 

[Lili Marlene]

it's so flipping crap

 

[Pantone247]

also if you did see the paper, why blow it for everyone by posting it everywhere, why take a gold advantage for yourself and turn into everyone elses misery?

congratualtions, you have failed the leaving cert of life

my one really good subject, I also got an A1.

Thought I was deadly till I started meeting people who got about 6 A1's.

Bet they were the kind who got up at 7am to study etc...I don't think anything beats consistent work though. I did really well in the LC (not that it means owt now) and it certainly wasn't from busting my ass studying. People take it a bit too far with studying sometimes.
I used an Elliott Smith lyric in an English essay in 5th year once and thought I was the shit....ah, youth....

Johnnystress that's a classic!

So the majority of the posters in this thread got A's in English........

Now I know why everyone is so iffy about grammer.

C.S.P.E only goes up to junior cert level. I got an A in that though. The highest mark I got in my leaving cert was a B2 in honors history, my marks began to seriously cascade after that.

My biggest beef was art, I cried during the practical and failed the art history paper. My leaving cert was a complete mess.

I left my leaving cert Irish exam an hour and a half early so i could go to a Sisters of Mercy gig. Still passed though. The gig was all right.

English was by a long distance my favourite subject by my last years in school and yet I ended up with a B2 that is forever scarred into my soul. God forbid I ever meet that dirty examiner bastard. ANONYMITY CAN'T PROTECT YOU FOREVER YOU CUNT.

Same, was gutted. The mammy told me not to get it rechecked in case I got a lower grade. I've never forgiven her.

that was my first thought as well. the naievity of youth.

My sister is doing her leaving in Kilkenny and by 5 yesterday she had gotten texts and e-mails from several people telling her what was on the paper.. Ah the information age.

I got a B1 and was delighted with myself. Had been regularly doing C3 level answers throughout 5th and 6th years but went in there and things just clicked for me that day, was making observations about things that I'd never really got before.

Then I kinda fucked up any gains I made in that by getting a C1 in history when I was shooting for an A.

2 years ago was the first time since I left college that I didn't wake up at least once in May feeling terrified by the fact that I hadn't started studying for my upcoming leaving.

 

[FiFi_LaRue]

I find it funniest, that the State Examinations Commission only found out at least 2 hours after it had been posted on boards.ie and twitter etc.

 

[Franco]

I got an A2. Didn't want no facking A1 did I?

 

[FiFi_LaRue]

It was the misplaced apostrophe wot done me in!

 

[Sufi]

2 years ago was the first time since I lef college that I didn't wake up at least once in May feeling terrified by the fact that I hadn't started studying for my leaving.

Every time I get a little stressed I have dreams I have to re-sit my leaving cert. I always wake up with a vague sense of foreboding and panic.

 

[jonah]

I did ok in History too, I think an A1 or an A2 though I can't remember which... all the others which actually involved unwankable answers (ie. the leaving cert isn't a measure of intelligence but ability to learn shit off my heart) not so good.

 

[Lili Marlene]

ie. the leaving cert isn't a measure of intelligence but ability to learn shit off my heart.

That's what I always say when my bad subjects are brought up as well

 

[sweetoblivion]

I did awful in history - got my worst result. It was purely a result of not working, & not doing a special project, coupled with a teacher who rarely got us to do homework so I just didn't work consistently at it at all. It's something I really regret now to be honest. I did go and get a degree in it, but I should've just done the work when I was in school.

 

[jonah]

I is John you're right, four years on and I'm still consumed with bitterness.

I think the only reason I did so well in History is because I became uncharacteristically anal about my Special Project.

Paper 2 in English is perhaps the most dreaded of all Leaving Cert exams as students have to guess which of the eight poets on the syllabus will feature.

thats from the irish times. 8 poets? Do they not do Soundings anymore?

I remember there being at least 50 poxy poets to have to learn. Back in my day.

kids have it too easy these days.

I got a C in English. But look at me now....!!
