    I saw the thread on the worst sections so I thought I would make this one on the best.

    Maths: Maximum/Minimum problems. 20 marks for some algebra and basic differentiation, what's not to love. Also logarithms, they're very satisfying, (2006 P1 2c, oh yeah. :P)
    Physics: Particle Physics, I just find it interesting.
    Chemistry: I love the short questions, just.
    Pass Irish: Comprehensions, easiest thing ever.

    English - Keats the genius, essay writing and Macbeth.
    Irish - All of it bar completely stupid poetry and a Thig ná Tit Orm.
    Maths - Probablility, Sequences and Series, Proof by Induction and the Co-Ord Geo.
    Chem - It's horrible, but easy enough
    Physics- Particle Physics. Wow.
    Accounting - Incomplete Balance Sheet first and Marginal Costing. Easy.
    French - Comprehensions. Éasca go leor and their actually interesting sometimes. (see the one where a load of kids turn up and have a mad rave in a field. THAT was cool)

    Economical Geography, sexual.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,082 ✭✭✭Fringe


    Maths - Trigonometry. It's so easy most of the time. Calculus is also pretty good. Differentiation can get really tedious though.

    Physics - Mechanics is good because I do applied maths.

    Applied Maths - Differential equations. I find it really interesting and it uses calculus which is pretty good.

    Chemistry - Atomic Theory. I love the models of the atom.

    Biology - Most of unit 2 is interesting. The rest isn't.

    Maths- Trigonometry, Complex Numbers, and those delightful questions 1+2 on paper 1. HLMATHS4LYF!

    English- I'm growing to love the comparative essays, they're quite fun to write! Also, Michael Longley's a legend.

    Irish- I LOVE the oral. Well, love might be a little bit strong, but I do like it a lot. An Triail's not so bad either.

    French- Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Unfortunately I just abhor this language.

    Chemistry- Chemical Equilibrium. Best-chapter-ever.

    Biology- Respiration/ Photosynthesis. Also, anything to do with the human body tbh, especially the nervous system. And blood.

    Geography - I love the overall simplicity of this subject! My favourite bit's probably the economic geography, it's by far the most interesting.

  • Registered Users Posts: 7,962 ✭✭✭jumpguy


    Thread come back to life! :P

    English - Poetry, love Frost!

    Irish - Erm, nothing really, since I dropped down to pass I kinda ignore Irish and just do enough to get by.

    Maths - Integration, differenciation and pretty much calculus in general, along with co-ordinate geometry. Interesting and very satisfying if you get them right. Also, the integration question on the paper is very much application.

    German - Ugh, I suppose the compositions are okay, but the grammar in LC makes German a bit of a bummer.

    Biology - LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE pretty much all of it. :) The biochemistry is really interesting, respiration, photosynthesis, structure of DNA, photosynthesis.

    Chemistry - Organic chemistry, rates of reaction (easy enough questions!) and atomic theory are lovely.

    Physics - Mechanics mainly, cause of the maths. Electricity is okay, and we haven't done particle physics yet which seems to be all the rage...
