laaaads .... I'm kinda thinking it could be Rich that will come up not Boland since Boland has been asked twice since the course change and Rich only once...though it was v recently (08) but who knows!

Guys anyone notice the trend in Irish?

2006 - A) Lá Buí Bealtaine
2007 - A) An Bhean Óg
2008 - A) Lá Buí Bealtaine
2009 - A) An Bhean Óg
(25 marks)
Really think Lá Buí Bealtaine will come up as the 25 marker!

As the 15 marker, I think Fiche Blian Ag Fás is expected (hasn't come up in but it has come up every 2 years as an A.

Bímse came up as A) in 2009, 2008, 2006. (I doubt it'll come up again this year in A or B, safe to leave it out I think.)

Faoiseamh came up as A) 2009, 2008, A)2007.

Gealt?: 2009, A) 2008, A) 2006.

Níl Aon Ní: 2007, 2006.

Jack: A) 2007.

Looking at these trends, Jack and Níl Aon Ní will come up in A) and Faoiseamh will come up in . [I really doubt they'll put more than 1 on that came up in 09/08.]

An Mháthair: 2009
Dá mb’fhéidir arís dár gcumann: 2009
Dán do Mhelissa: 2008
Oíche Nollaig na mBan: 2008
Uirchill a Chreagáin: 2007
MAIGDILÉANA: 2007
AN tOILEÁN: 2006
AN CHÉAD DRÁMA: 2006

I think Uirchill is a definite although we're quite unlucky as everything has come up now

God, I hope Rich does come up....and Longley, and Yeats, and Keats. How perfect would that be for me?! (They're the ones I've learned REALLY well...)

As for Irish, HATE Lig Sin i gCathu, hope to God it doesn't appear....

Megsy

Eh, would I be right in saying that for Art History, if you were just to learn the Gothic and Romanesque periods really well that it would do you fine for Section 2? Because it comes up every year.

DoDaDoLoveLife

Biology: Digestion, Lymph System, Male Reproduction, Photosynthesis, Ecology, The ear, Viruses.

English: GV&VP and LG, Redemptive love in Lear, Boland, Longley, Yeats.

Irish: Cearrbach, An Bhean Og, Faoiseamh, Fiche Bhliain ag Fas, Gealt?.

French: Something related to poverty and something about reading.

Business: Breakeven, business plan, ratios, businesses in recession.

Home Ec: HACCP, Protein. Sociology Elective: Unemployment, Poverty.

Anything else for Home Ec? I'm completely screwed for it.

Do you think its safe to leave out the vegetarian diet and alternative protein foods? The came up in the question 1 in 2009, they would hardly repeat those topics would they?

hoping for a nice personal essay on paper 1

History- 1916, question on dev, question on facism characteristics, question on why soviet unioin collapsed and the colerain university thing for NI

Engineering- staraight forward enough question on moulding for plastcis id say and a thermal equilibrium diagram, cant predict welding and the accelerometor will be handy

They could still come up in Q2 etc. and as short questions, I'd say at minimum know the basics.

What do you think will be on q4? I really doubt it'l be household technology , came up last year and two / 3 years ago... theyv asked it all..

I heard recession linked question - budgeting/management/methods of payment?
Question 5 - roles of people / conflict and acts im predicting!

LovexxLife

Im doing irish (OL) and planning on doing the comhra and Litir.
What do you think could come up in them or what should i know?

DeeHeadlights

I only decided to drop to ordinary French yesterday, couldn't hack the stress and possible failure of it all. I don't really know the ordinary paper, is it more or less the same every year?

Q4. TEXTILES has NEVER been asked so have that in mind when studying! Im also thinking it will be something about finance,housing budgeting and saving. And according to the papers 'energy' has never been asked but Im not quite sure what it means by that lol.

Q5. Im thinking divorce, family law, the elderly and people with special needs

ChristinaA

any idea on geography guys??:)

Megsy

Just a quick question on geography that I thought I might as well just ask here!

How long do the thirty mark answers need to be? Like say an answer on tertiary activities in India or one on human interaction with rivers? Is a page too little?

Energy is about consumer responsibilities , how to save energy - those guidelines.. kinda common sense !

My teacher thinks textiles is way too small to be asked.. maybe a 12 marker about detergents...?

B1 - iron maybe? Vitamin A maybe?

Do you think a diet / disease will be q2 ... like coeliac ?

A lot of people seem to think the a diet is coming up but theres also talk of sensory analysis, HCCAP, yeast. Im hoping for either protein, carbs, minerals or vit c, a or d in q1

I'd just like to say I'm in complete agreement with you! And, I had looked at mocks.ie and thought it was an alright idea. Having seen all the posts by this person I would never order off them! How sly.

Lame.
How I hate uptight forum nerds.

Sly?
What skin is it off your nose if they want to plug a site that is relevant to the discussion here? I really don't see the problem. And anyone who would click that little "report post" icon for a post as innocuous as that one, is a waste of skin.

(And no... I have absolutely NO vested interest whatsoever in that mocks site)

My teacher says that if uircheall comes up that aisling polatuil will definatly come up in stair na gaeilge. oh and id say an cead drama will come up ( i hope anyways)
