    Hey can anyone tell me the minimum you need to learn for poetry and prose for Ord level? So wrecked after the last two days, I wanna spend as little time on it as possible...

    Cearrbach Mac Caba
    Jack
    Faoisimh Geohadsa
    Clare sa Speir.

    If I do those 4 is that enough? Is there a way of knowing, like in English, do 5 and you'll be grand?

    I know its only 18% but I haven't looked at these yet , like EVER. soo

    ? thanks so much! :)

    Poems are fine, they're written on the paper, so just feed off that. No-one knows what's coming up on the stories.

    seriously though the papers worth nothing and thers so much work to do tis a joke no one or nearly noone doing ordinary irish can be looking for points for the work required they could do a honours subject

    Its a few extra percent, i need it, its not a "throwaway" subject for me.
    I wouldn't be able for Higher though either
    I think there should be three levels,
    higher
    intermediate
    ordinary

    or something.

    higher for fluent speakers
    higher maths for geniuses
    etc. etc.

    oh god the lack of sleep has gone to my head. sorry! :eek:

    :confused:

    you get a choice if you study around 7 pros other than that take what you get was under the impression that clare sa speir was mandatory as well or as good as cause its the only film

    You could get away with studying just 5 stories but you need to have covered all the poems.

    I just got Jack and An bean Og done there.
    I'll try and get one other poem and story done before I go to sleep.

    The rest will have to be covered tomorow :(

    I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday, i'm (arrogant sounding) too good for pass. Did no study whatsoever for either paper, still got my A, but not dedicated enough for the Honours.

    There should be a paper level in between Pass and Honours
