    any predictions on which stories will come up?


    I'm confident on Fiche Bhlian ag Fás and Lá Bui Bealtaine........I'll do An Cearrbhach as well.....

    Would those be enough?
    ie. will you always have a choice of these ones?

    At the moment I'm pretty comfortable with Jack, Nil aon Ni, Faoiseamh and Gealt.

    For the stories I know Cearrbhach, An Bhean og. I think I need to learn a few more stories.

    Poetry is grand. You can bull your way through it because it's given to you, and just need a general jist of it.
    Pro's on other hand...
    As long as you're not couting it for points it's grand.
    Paper 2 isnt worth that much..not even half.

    I've got some quick notes on cearrbhach if you need some help. They just give you general jist of story, the achainí etc.... and its in pretty much basic enough irish. :)

    Sorry, i thought u were putting it across as "Ohh its only pass, anyone can do that" kinda way

    I failed my pre, and more then likely will fail this

    And bout the stress thing.... far from it , dont see the point in bein like that over an exam

    I live my days/nights/weekends as i use to :)

    you one on 2fm was tipping "lig sinn i gcathu" big time.

    not sure if she was talking about ordinary or higher at one stage but mentioned "an bhean og" as likely too but "Cearbhach" as less like likely.
    hope that helps :cool:

    I can 100% guarantee you that Nil Aon Ni will not come up.
    This is because of all the controversy about the poet Cathal O Searcaigh.

    Story: http://www.independent.ie/national-news/boys-were-damaged-by-sex-trysts-with-poet-1286378.html

    Jack and Gealt are my picks for paper II.

    Weren't the questions for the papers set a good while before all that controversy happened? I was told not to rely on that just incase.
