I'm doing mine of the Prohibition (I'm doing something specifically on it, just haven't decided yet). My teacher hasn't explained it or anything, I think for now he just expects us to know what we're doing. For now I'm just reading through a book on it :P

One. I know I need at least 3 though, so I need to find a reliable internet source, and I'll ask my teacher for advice on the last one :P

seriously i dossed right through fifth year and have done a bit of study the last 2 weeks and think im on course for a decent lc.

business well i know chapters 1-14 nearly off by heart after about 6 hours study in the last 2 days-a few things i don't know but will have so much time go go back over it.

geography-should be sorted. i think the question ''why volcanoes occur along pacific ring of fire' will come up as well as how humans interact with rover processes.

for biome i think charachteristics will come up this year...hopefully.

history-still not sure but should be grand.

Mary007 · 29-10-2009 9:05pm

Just a general question regarding the history syllabus! Whats the craic with it? My whole class are in the dark..like I'm talking essay wise do you pick 2 sections of the book to know really well or whats the story? Thanks in advance:D

TheCandystripes · 29-10-2009 9:10pm

Document-Northern Ireland-1 of 3 topics come up. Easy enough document questions with a 40 marker long question.

Main Essays:(100 marks)

Irish-I presume you do 1912-1949(Civil War, 1916 Rising, Anglo-Irish Treaty) 5 questions given, pick one.

Then you do 2 essays from Europe and the wider world.

Okay cool thanks! So like with the main essays can ya just pick two topics like eg. United States to study? And then another one like?

My friends (one or two fellow repeats,ten or eleven current sixth years from my old school who did TY) have been studying like crazy this mid term. 7-8 hours a day,most of 'em. I'm not used to people admitting that they're studying (last year,everyone's "I haven't opened a book!" comforted me,I didn't feel so bad about my own procrastination,thinking we were all in the same boat.) And now,they're studying diligently,and I am just delighted that I did my French homework before Sunday. I am so screwed for this year,again. Like,one of my friends is going for 280 points and is putting in 5 hours a day.I'm going for 570 or so (pah) and I literally haven't done a thing. Balls.

theowen · 29-10-2009 9:47pm

3 hours of stoichiometry, oh ye:rolleyes:

TheCandystripes · 29-10-2009 9:52pm

i really have to do some study 2day. to me the lc doesnt seem hard. ok i know im not aiming for top points but i dont think its that hard if you know what their looking for and know how to study properl.

zoom! · 29-10-2009 10:32pm

that chapter takes an hour at most, about 40 or so minutes to study and spend 20 doin an exam question.

In your case maybe. My teacher gave us every question that's been asked, plus some from the old syllabus :rolleyes:

zoom! · 30-10-2009 11:28am

Oh didn't realise you were like given questions to do. That kinda sucks, stochiometry is fairly easy compared to things like molecular shapes and stuff like that. Anyway good luck, paintball time :P

zoom! · 31-10-2009 1:08pm

Well it's haloween, I still haven't got enough done yet for my tests next week so I'll be on candy duty while studying..... ugh

Mazda · 31-10-2009 2:21pm

After reading this I suddenly feel very guilty.....

I've done 3 Business questions all week

English essay, 7 chapters of Chemistry, Genetics, 5 sections of Irish oral and the first draft of my History research topic (which I haven't even finished researching) await me today

well that week didnt go according to plan. happy enough with my business tho

Making It Bad · 31-10-2009 4:35pm

Well I have done nothing school wise all week. I had been planning on catching up in Physics which I so desperately need to do, but nothing has been done on that. I can say at least that the midterm has been great what with the numerous 18ths and all. That and I also got and finished Batman:AA (great game, buy it).

I know that now I really should go and do some now but I really couldn't be bothered. Now maybe I will regret this come June but at the moment life couldn't really get any better.

Batman really is amazing:)

Diabhal Beag · 31-10-2009 5:56pm

Only did the homework but I had a ****ing great mid-term break

I'll be hungover tomorrow so I won't get too much done.

Have a great Halloween LC'ers

Reillyman · 01-11-2009 4:55am

This Mid-Term has been unbelievable! I've been on the beer since tuesday, no joke!

I, like everyone else, had great plans for this mid-term, study wise, but that basically went out the window. I actually don't even feel bad for doing nothing, I'd rather go back to school having to do a bit extra in the next few weeks rather than saying "****, I had a crap Mid-term!"

Studying a topic will be forgotten about, memories of nights out last forever.

The last few weeks I have been so happy, good moods everyday like. I think it's because I know that in 10 years time I'll be managing a hedge-fund on Wall St, making millions on commision, while the scumbags around here will be sweeping the aisles in tesco. My Life Is Great!

PS: Opinions expressed in this post are not the responsibility of <Reillyman> but rather the by-product of excessive binge-drinking.........LOVE IT!!!

First Week off...... what are your plans
