I really hope they don't change the pattern in past exams...I mean the same sort of questions come up every year but they could mix it up this year :-/

Landform development always came up

So did drawing Ireland (part A) and marking in regions (GDA and BMW)

Trade never came up in Economics so it better not come up this year!

Hey!
What do ye think will come up for HL and OL accounting this year??

I'm doing OL....

Beau x1

I'm fcuked for regional. There's too much stuff to learn/things they can ask. I've learnt off about 5 Regional questions so one of them is bound to come up, and if 2 come up in the same queston then all the better. But it's like impossible to learn it all.

Dunno how some people do it.

Movements for Reform:
Strike and Lockout
GAA

Sovereignty and Partition:
Economic Policies 1922-1939 (This should definitely come up)
Treaty Negotations
Cultural Identity I think...

Dictatorship and Democracy:
Church-State relations in Germany and Italy (again, should be a definite)
A direct question on the Show Trials
Italy's domestic policies (maybe(
Nazis in WWII

What about Home Rule... Such a huge section can't be omitted surely!! Otherwise i'm doing roughly the same..

That would be absolutely perfect if that all came up! I've written a few essays on the strike and lockout( one for history class, the other for the mock) and got about 85/100 on both of them with little reference to the book. I did the show trials q in the mock and got 82/100 on it.

can viatnam come up?my teacher said it cant

It can come up again, but it's unlikely to as it was up last year. What I'm putting my money on is the Moon Landing as it's 40 years this summer that it happened. But know the 3 just in case.

Yeah but there's 2 different regions for almost most questions. It's ridiculous. I took Economics in school so I'm changing over to the Economic elective (I don't know shít about human)..its much easier. Economics is all common sense with a bit of "ah yeah I get it" learning. Regional and human processes is all how much stuff you can cram before the exam. I'm not down with that.

As for the boss question, the optional, I'm dreading that. 80 fcuking HP lads.

Global Warming or Desertification or Deforestation (or all 3/pick 2) has always come up, every year since the new style of exam was brought in. You can pritty much bank on it coming up this year. Someone wrote up notes on all 3 and put it up on here, think its a few pages back. Its not that hard aswell, compared to the other questions you can get.

What exactly is 'Land Uses'? I know most the course well but I always have trouble identifying what the questions are asking for! :S Is it like leisure, recretional and religious and all that or am I horribly mistaken??

damienricefan

What's the actual question you're looking at?

A 'Function' would be residential...then the 'land use' would be housing estates etc.
or if the function was education the land use would be schools/colleges.

It depends on the question though really!

Is anyone learning the land use models like Burgess, Hoyt etc?

K4t

Politics & Society N.Ireland: This is what I'm doing anyway:

- Apprentice Boys - Cultural Identity/Ecumenism
- Impact of Welfare State (Housing/Health/Education) Enhanced sectarian tensions
- Cause of Civil Rights Movement and Success of Civil Rights Movement
- Coleraine University Controversy
- Impact of Troubles
- Sunningdale Agreement

Physical geo: I'd say isostatic effects, limestone region and quarrying are bankers.

Regional: I can't really say, hopefully someone has a better view on this.

Human pro: land uses, historic settlement, ndp.

Essay: Human impact on biome (hopefully)

Lets see what ye got.

Human impact on biomes came up last year (Q16) would they ask that again???

I was going to focus on how plants and animals adapt to soil and climate in a biome you have studied (2007), human interference with soil characterisitics (2007) and probably composition and characterisitics of one soil type..............

ImJohn

For land uses we were told to pick a specific city and write about the C.B.D, Indutry and Residential (high,low and medium) and draw a map (rough) and circle in where the 3 land uses are on the map. It's easy 30 marks so I hope it comes up.

For the geocology we basically only got proper notes on the impact on a biome and processes on a soil. However, I'm thinking characteristics of soil will come up seeing as impact on a biome came up last year . I'm not too sure though. Has your teachers told ye anything about impact on a biome coming up (human activities).

Gloom

I did the Coleraine question last year, it was a beauty. Just regurgitated the chapter in the book so I'm leaving it out this year.

Focusing on other two case studies.

piggies

our teacher thinks human impact on soils is coming up..but then again no one knows do they:p

i doubt they'd repeat a question that came up last year though!!

IMO you need to know:

Why it happened?
What happened?
Who was involved?
etcetc
then
What was the result?
