This is what im hopin for my topics:

1 Document: either Johnson(likely) or Montgomery

2 Irish(early 20thC): Sinn Fein and 1918election, The Treaty, Economic Policies(Fianna Fail)

3 Irish(Northern): Coleraine,Brokeborough,

4 Europe: Show trials, Mussolini's Rise to power, Church State relations in Italy

Any Opinions?:o

Why does everyone think Johnson and Vietnam is likely

K4t

Documents is pure pot luck.

Dictatorship&Democracy -

Anglo-American Popular Culture during inter war period

Technology of Warfare

Nazis (perhaps propaganda or how hitler consolidated power)

Stalin (show trials etc.

French (hate it )

I'm only in 5th year so can't help you with the Irish but that's what my teacher has predicted and her son is doing the exam

fearceol

i guess because theres a lot you can write on the subject! although i heard somewhere that it was the anniversary for Montgomery boycott or sumtin so cud go either way! as for moonlanding,we never covered it in class so pray it wont show! its a stupid question anyway,i had a quick read over it and its all technological so........

The moon landing is easy stuff, just remember a few details about the trip, the astronauts names, yada yada.

Ohhh and the russians beat them first in a rocket called Sputnik :rolleyes:

I'm not even thinking about history til the weekend. Then it will be major cramming, esp. the euro. history. Praying for showtrials/ church state

I used to love history up till 5th year. Now I hate it with a passion. The LC history course is so bad. Serious cramming going to have to be done........come on Parnell, mussolini and War of Independece. You might re-kindle my love of history!

Mars Bar

God I HATE Parnell...I hope he doesn't come up. Cultural Nationalism or the Strike and Lockout for me I'm afraid!

eoin2nc

Ive a feeling this exam is going to make me cry a little inside when I look at the paper next Wednesday....

+1! I've covered everything cept the documents but it just won't stick... barely have the gist of most stuff, and no dates statistics or numbers!

Mars Bar

That's how I felt last year, and I feel no different this year. History sucks...

Twee.

I am dreading this exam the most. What I am praying for is The Treaty/Civil War and Famine or Catholic Emancipation for the Irish history and Anglo-American Pop. Culture for the European. It's not come up yet so here's hoping!! I'd like Vietnam for the documents, we didn't really do the Civil Rights Movement....oh God.

xxniamhxx

I love history... have a brill teacher but the timing for the exam is so hard..
i think church state relations will come up in european, parnell in irish movements for social and political reform and the economy either Cumann na nGaedheal or Fianna Fáil in pursuit of sovereignty and the impact of partition... thats what im hoping for anyway...

Twee.

The exam is so hard! 42.5 minutes per essay or you're screwed!

diddley

If its a question on economy in Pursuit of Sovereignty and Impact of Partition, will it be FF or CnaG or both?

Lil' Smiler

Awww history seems so much more interesting as a subject in the new course!!

ahhhhh im so freaking out aout history!!! seriously it takes me a week to revise one essay so so much for a cramming session this weekend:pac:

*sniff*

now to matters that are really relevent...um what about the moon landing coming up??? it hasnt in a while has it?? and u no them people who make up exams.....unpredictable....sneaky b******s.....:mad:

boobookitty

What really ticks me off is that you can't get thrown by a question. You don't have time to plan and think of what you're writing down, you need to have a major idea of it already and it must come out like *snaps fingers*.

COME ON
SINN FEIN 1918
TREATY/WOI
POP CULTURE
SOCIETY IN WW2
VIETNAM
SHOW TRIALS

I know, I'm worried too. However think it's most likely Vietnam or Montgomery. Vietnam because it's been covered so much and Montgomery is celebrating something this year.

That being said, if the pre (DEB paper) came up or something very similar, I'll be happy.

hmmm....well according to my lovely history teacher i only managed a lucky pass so if the paper is like that and works out for you goodluck!.....pffft.....he doesnt know what he is talking about....he looked like a ken doll anyway.......his forehead beaming down at me from the front of the class...:rolleyes:

Parnell god damn you please pop up one more:eek:

boobookitty

Are you having trouble with certain topics? We can plan out essays. I'm doing OL Maths so I personally don't need to study.

La0Fruitcake

im ol to and i probably should but im not going to do anything plausable anyway...so may as well work on getting a decent grade out of something..:(

It's funny people say paper 1 is the easiest but I find it tough. I can't do Arithmetic part C, only the parts I remember from JC Business! (Tax and crap)

I love paper two. Line, Circle, Differentiation & Linear Programming!

I just need to remember to think logically and know it's obvious.
I was doing one yesterday and it gave three fractions as ratios. All I had to do was use a common denominator but I went and changed to decimals and crap. >_<


OT: Thinking about it, I don't want Montgomery to come up. I don't want to be asked about a person! (except Johnson)

BJC

History is just a load of sh*t that happened...best opening line to any LC answer!

I know it kinda bugs me....almost burst into tears with the stress earlier maths definatly not being a stronger subject for me and all...paper two i can deal with trigonometry and statistics...paper one is awful with its bloody series and sequences..our maths teacher didnt even cover two of the questions...wonderful..

as for history, obhivously your teacher made you summerise all essays?? if not i can type up something you are missing?? providing i have it of course!:p

almost grateful for him forcing summaries upon us everynight!
