    Same course as last year.

    e.g. Document is based on Vietnam / Montgomery / Moon Landing.

    Hoorah.

    your leaving it alot to chance damienricefan.

    would you not even just learn skeleton notes on the other essays?

    id love if something like treaty negotiations came up because i can understand it in my head.

    i just really hate the economic policy bits.

    hopeing the moon landing comes up this year.

    I wouldn't advise this as a tactic. They are two very different exams and the Junior Cert. is designed to let you pass/do well.

    I'm hoping for Montgomery, or if possible, a repeat of Vietnam.

    And a question of Dev 1932-1939 if possible..

    I hope Stalin doesn't come up, it's such a dense part of the course.


    However I could handle Hitler anyday....

    I got a feeling that Montgomery might come up because of the US election and Obama but maybe im just looking into it too much :P

    I pray for Vietnam to come up again though. I know it so well :/

    That's a great point actually. My teacher claims the Montgomery Bus Boycott is too easy for honours though and aimed at ordinary level. It all depends on the questions though I suppose.

    Nazi propaganda, Hitler would be lovely alright. Technology of Warfare wouldn't be bad either. Outside chance of 'Changes in Anglo American Popular Culture during inter war years'. That would be a dream come true!

    "Rise of the 'second' Sinn Fein Party" for Sovereignty and Partition. You heard it here first. Learn it!

    Anything to do with Partition or the 1916 Rising would be gorgeous too.
