Prós/Poetry

Going by past paper analysis, or anything at all, what would people recommend me studying the most, paying particular attention to ?

I've got an idea of doing Oiche Nollaig na mBan, Uirchill, An Chead Dráma and Jack. And then prose, Cearrbhach Mac Cába, 20 Bliain ag Fás, Na Lig Sinn i gCathú.
Think I'm on a good path? Recommend anything else?

That sounds real good there, my Irish teacher also said that An Bhean Og is a big possibility and also the two O Searcaigh poems- Maigdileana & Nil Aon Ni in particular dar léi, ach sin é!

ohh but i HATE lig sinn i gcathu!..& it came up the last 3 years in a row!

in the other predictions thread missmichelle91 says: from what ive gathered its been an bean og, clare se speir, an bean og, clare sa speir... for a number of years so going by this clare is due!

So maybe an bhean og isn't that certain ?

I'd cut out uirchill because it's horrible.... (Yeah ok good chance but you know what I mean)...
My teacher (before I dropped today xP) thought An Chead Drama and Maigdileana were two to watch. Prediction guy on youtube thinks an tOilean as well.

Thats what she said haha, I really dont know though myself though, just in what she says and what she concentrated on, we did a ****load on Uirchill an chreagain in the last few weeks and Fiche Bliain ag Bas also, & Uirchill came up in the DEB mock so yano sorted if it comes up 2moro!:D

Hmm, yeah. It's so hard to predict =/ I suppose just knowing well what the poems/stories are about shoouuld allow us to be able to answer any question on it ?

I've been hearing that Jack is set to come up? I wouldn't mind that at all, it's probably one of the more easy poems to write about. I looked at that, Nil Aon Ni, Gealt, and Mo Gille Mhar.

For the prois, I'm doing the Cearrbhach, too.
