We are so anxious about Saturday as daughters first choice of grammar is so difficult to know as her mark is 3 above the minimum they took last year and the year before but in 2011 the mark was much higher so it is difficult to know as we don't know what the standard of marks were this year for her 2nd and 3rd choice we feel confident but would really like her to get her first choice i'll be sitting at my front door from 7am tomorrow lol hope the postie comes nice and early! Good luck to everybodys children tomorrow hope they all get their first choice

Aww it's a awful long wait, I'm waiting patiently on the sorting office opening at 9 as mr postie does not arrive until 2!! We are pretty confident as our boy got 14 over the minimum at 114 but still want conformation good luck everyone il check in later with the verdict and hope you do too.

Yay delighted to say our boy got his 1st choice school Dalriada :)

I am relieved. Postie arrived at 1pm with acceptance for Rathmore. Fair play to my girlie. We backed off on tutoring and let the school handle it. We tried to relax about the whole thing - easy in a city where grammars take C equivalents. So, so proud of my girl for so many reasons, not so much the results but the way she handled it all.

Yes it appears that lowest accepted scores are generally up on last year.
