Posted: 9/9/06 at 6:38pm
Anyone here been anxious about results, High School ones, Secondary school one for Britain and Ireland, general teenage woes? Mine are out on Wednesday (about four days) and I can't wait to open that State exams commision envelope! And then I have no more exams until leaving school, which is 17/18 year olds (I'm 15 now, was 14 when i sat the exams).
Anyone else feeling the heat? Or have you felt it recently but gotten your results since?
Post here, and let us know your results when they come!
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

Posted: 9/10/06 at 7:08amI don't even take anything big until MAy. Then in May I have the AP Psychology test, and in June I take the French Regents.

Posted: 9/11/06 at 4:55pmNo, of course I do! In Ireland there are two major sets of state exams, one at age 14/15, and another at age 17/18. The first is called the 'Junior Cert(ificate)' and the latter is the 'Leaving Cert(ificate)'. For the Junior you just get marks and they go on your CV, for the Leaving you get your top 6 marks added together and rounded to the nearest 5 upwards, so a mark out of 600, I believe, and this determines which college courses you are sutable for. For example, to do Medicine it's 590 points requirment, Law 550, etc. To get into 'The American College, Dublin' it's 175 points. That tells a tale!

Posted: 9/14/06 at 5:52pmGot them! 7 As, 4 Bs and a C! Not bad, but Latin was never my forte so I can be excused for the C!

Ooh, you live in Ireland!
I'm taking my PSATs in October. I really want to be a National Merit Scholar. I'm too young to qualify this year, but I want to see if I can do it.

Posted: 9/16/06 at 12:23pmThere's a college here ni Dublin that runs courses for kids during the summer, but you have to pass a test to get in. They use American school tests. For the age 9-12 courses you have to take an exam aimed at 14 year olds in the US (which I passed with flying colours!) and far 13 year olds and up you take the SATs and if you pass you're in, I got them as well. They're nothing to do with school though, my school exams are separate Irish ones as mentioned above.
