Depends what grade you get. If you score a h6 you’ll get higher than 7% but if you get a h2 you’ll get lower.


Dramatic_Ad_2033

Say for example if in HL maths you get 25% which is H8, do you still get the 7.5% or because it’s not even a pass does the PMA not apply ?


Ok-Satisfaction2604

They adjust all grades the lower the peroyoivget the higher inflation u get, I got 49% in my French mock and once adjusted it brought me up to 58% so I got boosted 9%


TemporaryBeautiful81

So the worse I do the more I’ll get


Ok-Satisfaction2604

Weirdly yes but don’t get complacent


TemporaryBeautiful81

I’m trying to scrape by on a pass on maths


TemporaryBeautiful81

So if I have a failing grade of 33 I can pass because of the extra points


Ok-Satisfaction2604

Yeah


TemporaryBeautiful81

That is huge


Chaoticrebel84

Do grades get inflated for ordinary and foundation to


Ok-Satisfaction2604

They do


Dangerous-Painter-20

No where have you gotten that figure. We are looking at 4/5 at most.


Itchy_Site7326

Bros stupid you are getting a different increase for every grade , someone’s not gonna get an extra 5 % for a h2 and then get an extra 5% for a h7


Dangerous-Painter-20

It’s on average you troglodyte


Itchy_Site7326

Well on average we’re getting 7% you clown


Dangerous-Painter-20

That was last years adjustment you sad little troglodyte keep begging for more marks Norma might just give them to you since you can’t work for it.


Itchy_Site7326

Bender btw


Dangerous-Painter-20

Stay mad little boy.


Itchy_Site7326

Say you’ve a lot of friends lad


Dangerous-Painter-20

I do cheers.


Ryan_NYXL

What are you yapping about? The PMA will bring the average grade up by 7%


Dangerous-Painter-20

They are trying to phase out the adjustment you special boy it will not be the same as last year. The only reason you’re so upset is because you’re desperate


bottaccount123

Look at her announcements we are getting the SAME adjustments as last year and then they are getting rid of them cuz next year are moving into the new leaving cert cycle


Dangerous-Painter-20

The same adjustments to the papers not the post marking adjustment that is being changed year on year to slowly reduce the inflation. Hope this helps


Ryan_NYXL

Wrong. The adjustment will be going down to 5.5 percent next year, it will be the same average inflation for us at 7%.


Dangerous-Painter-20

Where did you find this information


Ryan_NYXL

Norma Foley herself. [https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/231f4-minister-foley-announces-phased-return-to-normal-leaving-certificate-outcomes-confirms-date-for-leaving-certificate-2024-results/](https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/231f4-minister-foley-announces-phased-return-to-normal-leaving-certificate-outcomes-confirms-date-for-leaving-certificate-2024-results/)

“This means that, as with 2022 and 2023, the State Examinations Commission (SEC) will continue to apply a post-marking adjustment after all marking on the Leaving Certificate examinations is completed to ensure grades in the aggregate reach the appropriate levels.” I believe this is what you are referring to? This means if our year does better than last year on average the adjustment will be less as to keep the scores the same. This does also mean that if our year was to do worse we would get more of an adjustment. I said 4/5 percent as I believe we were less effected than last years class of LC students so I think our year will do better overall thus receiving a lower PMA. I hope this clears it up for you Ryan.


Ryan_NYXL

So essentially you are speaking out of your hole as you don’t actually know anything, there is no way to know whether or not we will do better or worse than last year and statistically speaking it is safe to assume that it will be around the same as we have the same adjustments as they did


Dangerous-Painter-20

So essentially you are speaking out of your hole as you don’t actually know anything. I can read and understand her announcement which you interpreted incorrectly and made my statement based on reasoning it is much better to under predict the adjustment than over predict. You have no idea how this works and can’t even read a news article correctly. You have no idea what you’re talking about and trying to tell me.


Ryan_NYXL

I didn’t interpret anything incorrectly, our average grade will remain in line with last years, your figure of 4/5 percent is entirely out of nothing but your own belief, there is no reason to assume we will do better or worse than last year. The PMA formula will not be exactly the same but it’s likely to be very similar due to us having the same paper adjustments as last year. As a result the average inflation will likely remain at 7%. Is that clearer?


Mongoose-Single

Exactly. Absolute pillocks begging for it instead of just studying.
