The entire video follows a pre-written script, so I decided I might as well use captions to make the video more accessible😎 Thank you so much and I hope that the SEC will think my exams were a H1 standard😂
Thank you so much, my fellow Leaving Cert reviewer! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed it so much - comments like this give me life! Less comedic, more serious videos about the SEC coming soon ;D
Mental that it's already been long enough for us to get nostalgic over those damn exams, where has the time gone! Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed😎
Thankfully I didn't study Biology, or any other science subjects for that matter, so I can't give a valid opinion on the paper; but from what I heard in my school, it was pretty dodgy! I bet you did fine anyway, and even if it wasn't great, the bell curve should hopefully be in your favour!
Thank you so much, that means a lot! I actively avoided creating a run-of-the-mill Leaving Cert vlog because I think that genre is pretty saturated, so I decided to do something a bit different and I tried to make it funny! ("tried" being the keyword) Apologies for the super late reply, I haven't really checked my channel that much in a long while and I've been starting college and all that - I greatly appreciate all your comments though, thank you!
I didnt study once throughout the year, hardly ever did homework and ended up getting 400 points which is more than enough for any course i want to do, weird thing about state examinations is that i actually enjoyed them more than regular school days, i like being able to leave early and as my brother described them "state examinations are more of a social event anyway". I might have pissed off my mother with my lax approach but on the plus side i never got stressed about any of it
Also i decided to do the literary genre question for some reason, never answered one before but the cultural context question was making me braindead reading it over and over, worked out well enough though, got a h3 in english so i cant complain
I wish that we could all get high results without studying! Well done, that's a pretty remarkable achievement! Yeah that cultural context melted my brain, but at least we both walked out with H3's in the end!
FUCK I'm going through comments here and I forgot that I never replied to this one despite it making me really happy when I read it. I'll tell you something, this video in particular did take pretty long to edit compared to other videos of mine, because this is the only video on my channel that was made before I built the PC I use now - I was using a really weak laptop for this and dear lord it probably tripled the time the editing process should have taken, it was a PAIN. Thank you for noticing the excruciating editing job and thank you also for the nice comment!!
@@PKMX_ slightly, but I have this lingering lack to care anymore as well. Which is a potent cocktail of up's and downs. What course are you hoping to do?
I'll let you know in about nine or ten hours if that's the truth! It will probably be far from true though - despite my love for writing, I tend to rarely perform well in English exams! I'll be lucky to get a H4 honestly, but time will tell soon enough!
I agree that it's all a cod! A H5 isn't bad at all, that's the same number of points as an O1! I got a H3 in English which I'm super happy with, I really wasn't expecting it! I hope you're happy with your results overall and I wish you the best in college, or whatever it is you'd like to do now that the LC is over!
Ahh yeah my points are grand like Hoping to start study General science in wherever I end up. Hope you're happy with your points to congrats on your H3 that's brill.
I thoroughly enjoyed this review and partial critique of the 2018 Leaving Cert and I was interested to hear the opinions of the questions asked from a Leaving Cert student themself, even though I'm about 3 years off doing my own. I'm currently scared shitless for my Junior Cert, as pathetic as that probably sounds to someone who's done their leaving cert, and was wondering if you have any advice for me?
Thank you for watching! I think this is one of my weaker videos (which makes sense as it's my first one), so I'm really happy to hear that you enjoyed it! :D Honestly, that does not sound pathetic at all. I completely understand where you're coming from, because I've been in that exact situation before. The Junior Cert was actually a more stressful time for me than the Leaving Cert, because studying for State exams was completely new to me and I found it difficult to manage the workload. I was an absolute WRECK and the stress completely consumed me, and I learned my lesson from that experience and I kept a cool head when doing the Leaving Cert! One bit of advice I'd give you is to treat the Junior Cert as a learning experience for the Leaving Cert. While the results may not have any significance, it's important to develop efficient study habits which you can then use in the Leaving Cert, when the results will matter. If you notice yourself doing anything wrong during the Junior Cert, i.e bad study habits, not balancing the workload, learn from that and change it when doing the Leaving Cert! When I was doing the Leaving Cert last year, I was kinda just depressed all the time. In the Junior Cert, I was aggravated and I would get WAY too worked up over it, but for the LC I was calm and collected, but I was never in a good mood. Looking back on that, you should definitely never let it impact your personality, because it's never worth it. The exams can just completely alter your perception of what's important - the LC feels like the most important thing, and even the ONLY important thing in the world when you're doing it. But when you finish, you realise how unimportant it is in the grand scheme of life. It's literally just the first step on the ladder and it doesn't determine anything regarding what you can do with your life. Of course, you should try to do your very best, but please don't overwork yourself, don't get too stressed out over it, and don't overthink it. To summarise, just learn from the things that I did wrong. If you stay focused, stay calm, and do a decent amount every day without burning yourself out, you'll do great. You still have plenty of time to prepare for the LC, and you'll learn a lot about how to study from the JC - whatever you get in the JC won't matter the next day to be honest. Apologies for the huge reply, but hopefully you'll get something of value out of it! Once you finish the exams, life goes on, and I can assure you that life gets SO MUCH better. Best of luck in the JC, you'll do great as long as you study well and keep a wholesome mindset!
Honestly yes! That was one of the most memorable parts of the English exam, but you are kinda better off forgetting as much of this Leaving Cert nonsense as possible!
Wow this was a really enjoyable video and definitely deserves more views :) I’m going into 5th year in September so I guess I have all this to look forward to :’)
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed this sixteen minutes of nonsense! I find it flattering that you think it deserves more views, because I am overwhelmed by how it surpassed 1,000! I can clearly see why you may be dreading starting the Senior Cycle, but if there's any bit of advice I can give you based on my experience, it's that consistency and organisation is key! I was an absolute mess during fifth year but I redeemed myself by being a workaholic in sixth year, and I found the LC mostly okay - however, you're so much better off working away during both years, it will really stand to you! Just keep on top of your work from day one, don't ever let homework and study consume you to the point where it becomes unhealthy, and PLEASE keep all your books and folders organised from the first day of fifth year right up until you hand up your final exam paper! My bedroom was a mess a few weeks before the LC because I didn't keep everything organised during fifth year, which is one of my biggest regrets! You'll be just fine as long as you keep a cool head and work consistently without making yourself burn out - best of luck with the next two years, you'll do great!
PKMX thank you so much for the advice, I’ll definitely be taking it on board for the next two years! Sometimes I’m a bit disorganised when it comes to books/worksheets but I will try and keep everything organised and try my best in fifth year to relieve some stress in sixth year. I wish you all the best with your results this week and hope you get the points you want! Good luck :)
You're very welcome! You've got the right approach now; staying organised will make sixth year so much easier! Thank you and I hope I'll get adequate points too; not long now until I find out!
I've watched this video so many times over the last few years and it is incredibly surreal that I am now actually doing my leaving cert. Thanks for the laughs during this trying time in my life haha. I would also just like to say that what those SEC feckers did to the Higher Level maths students was horrifically cruel and I am so damn glad that I finally gave in and dropped to Ordinary Level after Christmas because I would not have survived that abomination of a paper 1. There is no doubt that there has been zero improvement to the system since 2018 and the SEC are still the #1 cause of crying among Irish teenagers.
2022 Leaving Cert student here even with the changes there still copying questions for section 1 in paper 2 English for different texts. Paper 1 was great with tons of variety so English Paper 1 gets a 9/10 for me while paper 2 gets a 4/10 from me 2022 edition geography and math paper 1 tomorrow
love seeing my school in the stock footage at 2:20 and vaguely recognising the students (I was in 1st year when they were in 6th year). The room they are in is the most miserable room in the school and is severely lacking in natural sunlight as the windows are at the top.
An English teacher in my school taught the girls who just did their LC,, THE WRONG MOVIE!! The poor girls found out like a day before and had to get a crash course from the other teachers seeing as the one that did the wrong movie hopped away on holiday... smh 😖😖
This sounds like something that would happen in one of my Leaving Cert nightmares - I genuinely feel bad for those students, they didn't need that extra stress and I hope it will all work out for them!
MAN where does the fucking time go. Thank you so much for watching and for coming back here to leave this comment. Actually can't get over that. Best of luck with all the exams, you've got this!
As somebody who is evidently interested in making videos, the course I'm hoping to do will entail production of films, videos, and events - modules would include post-production editing, camera operations, audio mixing, event management, visual effects and pretty much every other aspect of creating digital content! I can't say the name of the course just in case some random dude on the internet tries to track down my location, but that's a basic idea of what I'm hoping to do in college if I attain enough points!
A H4 isn't bad at all! I was only one grade above you, and that said, I mostly got H4s in English throughout sixth year! I hope you were happy with your results nonetheless, and thank you very much!
PKMX No problem , and ya I was just a bit surprised since I got a h2 in my pre , overall though these results will never matter again .. in my wanted course now in uni and I’m so happy every thing worked out
Thank you thank you thank you! I realised afterwards that I could have said Pól instead of Gloucester which probably would have been better, but oh well!
I am very honoured, that's actually really cool and I appreciate it! That was very smart and I applaud you for it, optimisation is key! Best of luck with your results and I hope your strategy worked out for you!
Second time today that one of the featured Tweeters (??) has discovered this video, I can't believe it! I hope you liked your little cameo! No need to worry about the Montague question - the marking scheme will have to be adjusted, because that particular question was pretty contentious, so you should be okay!
Having a bad teacher can be incredibly stressful especially when you're preparing for exams - however, you'd be surprised by how your grade ends up being better than expected! Your results will be great, and I wish you all the best!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i can't sleep lol help
I guess time will tell soon enough if our efforts were enough to get a favourable grade - no matter what, your essays couldn't have been anywhere near as bad as mine!
You'll do just fine - as long as you keep a cool head, minimise stress, stay consistent and keep your books and folders organised at all times, your results will be great!
I completely understand why you're perplexed about me picking Larkin - truth be told, he was my least favourite poet on the course along with Eiléan! The reason why I always planned on choosing him if he came up was because I knew it would be an obscure choice which wouldn't be very popular among students - I'm hoping that by choosing the least popular poet from this year's paper, that the examiner may mark my paper with some leniency if they get sick of correcting hundreds of Frost, Eiléan and Montague essays, which may subsequently lead to a better grade! I'll find out next week if that strategy worked ;)
I definitely see the logic behind your approach, as Eiléan was undoubtedly the most popular poet this year! However, Montague was a worthy runner-up, and I do think that examiners will be correcting plenty of Montague essays - that shouldn't affect your grade though, as long as you wrote a solid answer and kept the PCLM marking scheme in mind!
As somebody who attained 421 points, I'm kinda jealous that I didn't get exactly 420! You shouldn't be disappointed with that, 420 is an excellent result that lots of students would love to achieve! I understand that maybe it's not enough for your course, but you have proved that you've got brains to burn, and the LC will not stop you from doing what you want to do! Stay optimistic, everything will all work out for you!
PKMX Your reply made me smile for the first time since I got the results. I applied for the BMus in Cork School of Music and got 600/600 for the audition so my combined score is 1020/1200 (when the requirement is normally 650/1200)... so unless the points jump by 400 points, I, hopefully, should be fine 😂 I was aiming for 470 since that would have gotten me into the majority of my courses
That is amazing! I hope you enjoyed randomly seeing your tweet pop up in this stupid long video about State exams; I came across it when searching for 'daddy' tweets and I had to put it in!
I'm really happy to hear that it was such a pleasant surprise, and thank you so much! I'm glad that the work I put into this video paid off - you have no idea how much I appreciate compliments like that! Best of luck to you too, I hope you'll get what you want!
Don't worry about it! Generally, exam results tend to be much better than you expect them to be, so your maths grade will exceed your expectations! In my opinion, the most important part of the JC is not the results - it's the learning experience! As long as you learned how to efficiently study during the Junior Cycle and have built up a solid knowledge of your subjects, you'll fly through the LC!
The first year to have the exams marked by unqualified examiners though - there's some kind of problem every single year, and I blame the ineptitude of the SEC for that! I hope the LC went well for you despite that paper mixup!
10/10 gave me ptsd
This video even has captions... H1 standard.
Great vid!
The entire video follows a pre-written script, so I decided I might as well use captions to make the video more accessible😎 Thank you so much and I hope that the SEC will think my exams were a H1 standard😂
this video is so funny and hilarious I was actually crying by the end of it , and the editing is so well done i'm truly amazed x
Thank you so much, my fellow Leaving Cert reviewer! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed it so much - comments like this give me life! Less comedic, more serious videos about the SEC coming soon ;D
Thank you for making this, felt a bit nostalgic about it all 5 years later and this brings me right back.
Mental that it's already been long enough for us to get nostalgic over those damn exams, where has the time gone! Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed😎
What would you rate the biology exam?
Section A - 6/10
Section B - 9/10
Section C - PTSD
Thankfully I didn't study Biology, or any other science subjects for that matter, so I can't give a valid opinion on the paper; but from what I heard in my school, it was pretty dodgy! I bet you did fine anyway, and even if it wasn't great, the bell curve should hopefully be in your favour!
PKMX results in 9 hours 😨
I'm really not looking forward to results, but at the same time, I can't wait for it to be over and done with! How are you feeling about results?
PKMX good and bad tbh i feel like i can do it but i also feel like I'm fucked
I bet you did great and I hope you're happy with your results!

Sorry comrade, the Stalin question was gorgeous
I guess it would have been great if your school actually covered Stalin's leadership in WW2, but unfortunately, I was let down in that regard!

What course are you hoping to do?😊

great video, i love your humour
Thank you! I'm glad to see that people are still watching this video!
Completely avoided the daddy comprehension ..maybe I shouldn’t have since I ended up with a h4 , happy out good video
A H4 isn't bad at all! I was only one grade above you, and that said, I mostly got H4s in English throughout sixth year! I hope you were happy with your results nonetheless, and thank you very much!

10/10 for the Gloucester joke!
Thank you thank you thank you! I realised afterwards that I could have said Pól instead of Gloucester which probably would have been better, but oh well!
Did an extra subject outside of school just so I could do the absolute bare minimum for Irish and not count it... study smart not hard 🤔🤔

I am very honoured, that's actually really cool and I appreciate it! That was very smart and I applaud you for it, optimisation is key! Best of luck with your results and I hope your strategy worked out for you!
Ha me too! I literally told my Irish teacher I will never do homework for him or even listen to him in class as all I want is a pass!
Hahaha this is great :D steam ID?
Great video earned a sub
Thank you very much, I hope you'll enjoy my one video per month ;)
(@1.34) my Twitter was featured, i feel famous
And I went into English P2 only knowing Montague and I cried when I saw the question
Second time today that one of the featured Tweeters (??) has discovered this video, I can't believe it! I hope you liked your little cameo! No need to worry about the Montague question - the marking scheme will have to be adjusted, because that particular question was pretty contentious, so you should be okay!

Put all my money on inter-war Britain coming up and now praying the domestic policies of Churchill during the war will be enough to get a decent mark

The most important question right now, you did larkin? wtf?
I completely understand why you're perplexed about me picking Larkin - truth be told, he was my least favourite poet on the course along with Eiléan! The reason why I always planned on choosing him if he came up was because I knew it would be an obscure choice which wouldn't be very popular among students - I'm hoping that by choosing the least popular poet from this year's paper, that the examiner may mark my paper with some leniency if they get sick of correcting hundreds of Frost, Eiléan and Montague essays, which may subsequently lead to a better grade! I'll find out next week if that strategy worked ;)
PKMX I used the same approach, only less severe. I figured everyone will do NiC so i did montague.....
I definitely see the logic behind your approach, as Eiléan was undoubtedly the most popular poet this year! However, Montague was a worthy runner-up, and I do think that examiners will be correcting plenty of Montague essays - that shouldn't affect your grade though, as long as you wrote a solid answer and kept the PCLM marking scheme in mind!
Got exactly 420 points. Severely disappointed but I did laugh initially once I used the calculated 😂

Then I cried 😂
As somebody who attained 421 points, I'm kinda jealous that I didn't get exactly 420! You shouldn't be disappointed with that, 420 is an excellent result that lots of students would love to achieve! I understand that maybe it's not enough for your course, but you have proved that you've got brains to burn, and the LC will not stop you from doing what you want to do! Stay optimistic, everything will all work out for you!
PKMX Your reply made me smile for the first time since I got the results. I applied for the BMus in Cork School of Music and got 600/600 for the audition so my combined score is 1020/1200 (when the requirement is normally 650/1200)... so unless the points jump by 400 points, I, hopefully, should be fine 😂 I was aiming for 470 since that would have gotten me into the majority of my courses
1:29 holy fuck that's my tweet im laughing
That is amazing! I hope you enjoyed randomly seeing your tweet pop up in this stupid long video about State exams; I came across it when searching for 'daddy' tweets and I had to put it in!
PKMX it was such a shock i loved it, and also this is such a fantastically edited video?? well done and best of luck with results!!
I'm really happy to hear that it was such a pleasant surprise, and thank you so much! I'm glad that the work I put into this video paid off - you have no idea how much I appreciate compliments like that! Best of luck to you too, I hope you'll get what you want!
Isle daphino, nice
I only play REAL music in my videos 8-)
You've just brought me back to that asshole of a Stalin question.... still not okay
I will never forgive the SEC for that one! Thank god I wasn't the only one who despised that question!
Maths paper 1 for junior cert was total shit
Don't worry about it! Generally, exam results tend to be much better than you expect them to be, so your maths grade will exceed your expectations! In my opinion, the most important part of the JC is not the results - it's the learning experience! As long as you learned how to efficiently study during the Junior Cycle and have built up a solid knowledge of your subjects, you'll fly through the LC!
Well at least ye weren't the first year to be shafted by mixing up the papers ..LC2017
The first year to have the exams marked by unqualified examiners though - there's some kind of problem every single year, and I blame the ineptitude of the SEC for that! I hope the LC went well for you despite that paper mixup!
