    There are a couple of companies that put these papers together so getting tips might not be a good thing if you end up getting a completely different paper, better to just study well and not let yourself get put on the completely wrong track. Good luck!:)

    Mine was DEB, Short questions- weather map thing, satellite photos, glacial features etc.

    Core- plate tectonics, river processes and rock cycle. Regional- em, relationship between primary and secondary sector in a subcontintal region...I can't remember! EU came up too. And fisheries.

    Human processes- Photo and map of carrick on shannon, sketch map..other q had historical settlements. Map of dublin somewhere in that section- expansion.

    Culture- two aspects of ethnicity- I did religion and language.

    By the way if anyone has even the foggiest clue what the geoecology option questions were are even what they were like that would be a lifesaver!

    As with the Geography course ... its so god damn broad that you could go in covering 1/3 of the course and your option and get a B1 ...

    But with that will come strict marking

    i did a ques where you had to draw a map of ireland..which was sweet cos there was one in the short questions! you had to mark out two contrastind regions and an urban centre i think.and how one would travel between them.

    You're not asked. But it would help with the SRPs, we were told. I even did a diagram of a hydroelectric dam for human interaction. There's one in Leixlip!! Sweet. It's great when in Junior Cert there'd be questions about Intel. Lol.
