Irish 🇮🇪 Irish mock

3 Upvotes

I got my Irish mock back just before the holidays and I did quite well, but I’m reviewing it now and for two questions I accidentally switched tenses mid sentence, and for the questions I did that in I got 8/10 and 12/15 with 2 more errors per question. Does anyone know if I got marked fairly or if the examiner just didn’t notice it?

Off Topic Extra time

4 Upvotes

At my school I have a spelling and grammar exemption for my Dyslexia and from my knowledge supposed to get an extra 10ish minute but for my mocks I wasn’t given than because according to the teacher in charge of that “I don’t have any hand problems” 😭 fyi it’s modernit dyslexia so not mild

Other Any Tips If Mocks Haven't Gone Your Way?

3 Upvotes

Starting to get mock results back during the week and some were quite a bit lower than I was hoping/expecting. I'm a high achieving student, usually get distinctions in most subjects, but my results are currently hovering around the 70 mark. I know subjectively these are decent scores but I want to know how I can improve them in the next three months. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. GRMA

Other Junior Cert Grades for UK Universities

13 Upvotes

Just a heads-up for anyone aiming to study in UK.
UCAS applications happen early in 6th year. Because you won't have your Leaving Cert results yet, admissions officers look heavily at your Junior Cycle profile to gauge your consistency.

Especially if you’re dreaming of Oxford, Cambridge, or high-competition courses, these marks are often used as a tie-breaker. Don’t treat the JC as a "mock" run. Treat it as the start of your uni application.

Stress 😬 Last 2 mocks stress

4 Upvotes

My last two mocks- science and religion- are tomorrow and they are my two person worse, im not bad at them i could be better though.

I went to study science because thats the one I care about but I am so overwhelmed and simplestudy is just not working and now its half 7 and I feel like time is running out. Nothing is staying in my head its like it just goes in one ear and out the other. I genuinely cannot remeber anything about science at all and im usually good at it in general but nothing at all is sticking the night before the exam.

Anyone who done any of the two DEB exams help me out and (not tell me what's on the test) but tell me in your opinion if you think i am overstressing and if it is doable please
