    They predicted Larkin, Rich and Mahon for Enlish - all 3 came uo
    they predicted literary genre and theme and issue - both came up

    Irish they predicted as essay on the health service - it came up

    Maths 2 - they predicted perp. distance and cos rule - both came up

    Geography they predicted human interference with the biome - it came up

    I'm guessing this isn't luck and the people they interviewset the paper

    Either way I'm happy :)

    7pm every night!

    Hah, 'fraid i wouldn't think so. I only do the maths and eng, but in fairness the things that came up there were fairly obv! so i had the poets and those formulae doubly learnt:)

    OP do you have past exam papers? Cause that is entirely what their predictions are based on.

    Take English for example. Cultural context wasn't likely to come up because it came up in 2006 and 2007. By process of elimination, theme/issue and lit genre were likely to appear.

    They're not crazily insightful or anything.

    Bah! I listened to it most nights last year and did bugger all good :(
    Predicted isostasy in Geography - nope. Had to skip the Rivers question because I was sure it would come up.
    Predicted "An Mhathair" for Irish poetry - nope. Nice easy poem, would have been great to answer on.
    Predicted Kavanagh for English - nope. Luckily we got Plath so I survived! :)

    The one thing it did predict correctly that I wouldn't have thought of myself was a theorem on Maths Paper 2 (the one about difference equations, think it was Q.6) :)

    The programme is an interesting listen all the same.

    But it's nothing an on the ball teacher couldn't predict. People who set the papers aren't allowed to comment on them anyway.

    The story that you have to do is going to be Lig Sin i gCathu most likely. And then Clare sa Speir and an Bean og should come up in the other section.

    In fairness they aren't going to tell you exactly what is going to appear, if that was the case then everybody with a radio could get an A. I think we're pretty lucky with the stage the course is at that its pretty much narrowed down to 4 honours poems, I'd hate to be doing it the first year of a new course.

    The Business teacher on didn't say that much really cos there's no real way of predicting, except to focus on the ABQ units.
