You can't blame your teachers for giving you the advice of "learn everything". If you're serious about getting A1 in everything then yes, pretty much. However, if you want to just pass/get D-C, I think looking at the patterns in the exam papers. Personally, I was stressing out about how I am going to study everything for the Mocks but I was very confident that I would pass after looking at the past papers. I don't do most of the subjects you do so I can't really give you solid advice. I need help at english myself, but I just sat paper 1 today and it wasn't too bad, they generally ask the same questions year in and year out, it's just a matter of applying it to different articles/texts. As "some guy in another thread" said, 4 months is plenty of time to study and don't worry .

tbh the whole controversy with the English paper 2 last year was caused because the paper was so predictable...that's what people were going mad about when it was canceled the whole what if its not the same, which it wasn't!!so you can guarantee in most of the exams this year the whole predictability feature is going to be gone....!!
look for example last year in stair na gaeilge, on getting the paper it looked as if they had just photocopied the paper from 2008 as it was EXACTLY the same...!!
also in many of the articles published last year after the leaving people complained of the predictable nature of many of the subject which was being slowly eased out in order to cap the number of people receiving 8,9 and 10 A1s etc a thing which was nearly unheard of years ago but which has grown from the grind school culture!!
so basically what I'm saying is you sudnt be relying on hints at this stage....there's still LOADS of time after the mocks...leave the hints for the end of may when your in most need of them!!!

as for how 2 learn things...keep doing ques REALLY helps you'll be surprised how much your learning and practice makes perfect in Irish especially with formatting the question and writing what your asked!for the essay learn loads of versatile phrases so that you essay is littered with natanna na cainte which wrake in the marks!

yesplease!
