    Hi, guys!

    So, I've studied three different poets (Yeats, Kavanagh and Longley), but it would REALLY make my English exam if Yeats were to come up this year, as he's my best poet.

    What do you reckon are the odds of him appearing on the paper? :p Bearing in mind that it was his 80th anniversary last year and he appeared on neither the original nor the replacement paper.

    (Oh, and good luck to everyone!)

    I'd say the odds are good but you none of us have a crystal ball. You'll find out soon enough so just get your head down and revise what you know.

    On the 2FM podcasts that Institute teacher said the one poet he would bank on is Yeats. He's the only one I've really prepared aswell... but sure if worst comes to worst we can pull some kind of answer out on a poet, and it's fifty marks - not worth getting your knickers in a knot over. The comparative is the key to Paper II!
