Im hearing it from a reliable source that a minor key is due to pop up in the harmony question

Assez Bien

Montague is tipped for English (HL)along with Yeats n Plath.

For anyone doing chemistry,its tipped that there's gonna be thermo experiment on it n also ethanoic acid n ethanal also equilibrium experiments!

Irish essays i def think are gonna be road deaths,politics and obesity n the health system also possibly something bout blogs and bebo.

Biology as u said is prob gonna be everyhting on the god forsaken course but the experiments tipped are the quantative survey, osmosis (yipee!) n also the 2 germination experiments. hav also heard the female reproductive cycle n stuff is tipped.

*shudder*

I heard that's very, very rare...

Seems the main listening question will be Tchaikovsky...

Any tips for the traditional Irish essay?

and unlikely, but any tips for Classical Studies anyone?

Whats the problem? There's nothing particularly difficult about a minor key in
the harmony question. Just remember to use iib instead of ii, note your accidental and which chords are minor (you can figure it out by looking at the roman numerals anyway).

For the Irish essay question I reckon something on the harping tradition/ harpists and famous musicians/composers shall appear.

Has anybody heard any predictions about whats coming up in home ec? It makes sense perhaps that lipids would come up taking into account that carbs and protein have come up before and its a new(ish) course. Im becoming a bit hysterical with home ec now thanks

Whats your view on learning the 1885/86 elections?

Since the course changed for next year do you think they could be such dickheads to ask us that?

They're meant to be making the course much nicer so more people will talk it up. There was 6 A1's in my schools history class of 13 or so last year. But apprently all the brains of 6th year that year kept on history.

E92

What about Accounting?

My guesses are
Q1 Final a/c's of a company
Q2-4 Control, Reval and Suspense
Q5 Ratios....again
Q6 Incompletes
Q7 Service
Q8 Stock and Product Costing
Q9 Cash Budget

Lets all hope not. I'm avoiding that whole section of History like the plague. Though if the Department is trying to be student friendly maybe they'll go out on a limb and put Anglo-Irish popular culture on the paper. Just a thought

I had to lol.

And in fact, I had to lol at this whole thread.

So far, for Irish and English, you've all predicted:

English:
Plath, Kavanagh, Bishop, Montague, Yeats(5 poets! That's helpful!)
Kingship, Macbeth/Lady Macbeth
Gerneral Vision and Viewpoint, Cultural Context(Why not predict Themes and Issues for the laugh? Sure you have to learn two in the first place...)
Diary Entries

Irish:
Slad(lol, sleacht) ar na mboithre, Politics, Environment, Obesity and the Health System, Blogs and Bebo.(Really narrowing it down there)
Clare sa speir- techniques of film
Uirchill
Lig Sinn i gcathu
Dan Do Mhellisa

Honestly, are you people pulling these out of your asses or what?

I think he meant solving cubic equations and finding roots etc when he mentioned that.
Still I thought "WTF" when I first read that:D
I think the above will come up as a B part in question 2 or 3 alongside max and min in Q6 or Q8.

tchaikovsky for question 1, that's my feeling anyway! for the essays, one of sean nós, irish dances, ornamentation, influence of irish music on north american music, céilí bands, and some musician/composer (ó riada, ó súilleabháin, turlough o'carolan) usually comes up every year. learn the harp and the uilleann pipes as well to be safe.
I'd say be ready for an upbeat in the melody question 1, and maybe 6/8. I don't know if they'll do the minor again. I'd expect a minor key in question 5 though.

Well yeah, I thought of that after the initial "wtf", but still, it's maths. I mean, that's a skill you apply to a question, not a question in itself....
