Anything for the Stair or An Triail?

xxCookiexx

OMG, im having a slight panic attack here, I just realised that some of my Hamlet quotes for paper 2 were wrong. Well they werent "wrong" as such its just that I got a couple of words muddled up in otherwise perfect quotes i.e "won onto his shameful lust the will of my most seemingly virtuous queen", instead i wrote "won the lust and will of my most seemingly virtuous queen." will they take loas of marks off me for getting it wrong? or will i get some leeway as i've got the general gist of it! Help...panicking!

Any predictions for paper 2 in ordinary level irish?

Oenone

Hmm this forum really helps - with procrastination :eek:

As for predictions for Irish Paper 2 - apparently An Bhean Og, and Lig Sinn i gCathu are likely. The poetry is always hard enough to predict, from what I can gather - Faoiseamh a Gheobhadsa has come up almost every year; personally I'm hoping for Gealt (who isn't ?) and Oiche Nollaig na mBan (I love that one :pac:) and possible Maigdileana?

BUT you can never tell...

Edit: Just noticed that you said ordinary Irish *facepalm*

xclw

HL History tips needed fast!

lisabisa

I'm not sure if anyone asked this already, I'm sure they have but I'm on my phone and it's hard to go through past pages... However I failed biology last year and Its kinda the reason I'm repeating. I've done the work this year but haven't a breeze what I should start revising, cos it's such a big course I can't do it all. Any ideas what would be likely to come up? And what I should study? Thanks:)

PREDICTIONS: - ORDINARY IRISH

Paper 1: Learn a story bout an accident, robbery, match and concert and your sorted for everything.

Paper 2: For the stories..CLARE SA SPEIR or fiche bliain ag fas... and for part 2..love in bhean og!!

Poetry: Nil Aon ni, bimse buan and gealt is what im learning.. nil aon ni hasnt been up since 2007 as the poet was accused of being a peodaphile..however his case was cleared this year!


CHEMISTRY
Winkler/bleach/acid-base titration
Organic- benzoic, ethanal, ethanoic
heat of combustion for Q6.
volatile liquid for Q3

YOU CANNOT PREDICT BIOLOGY OR FRENCH!!!

BUSINESS
I reckon if you learn these chapters your away with it with the long questions: social responsibility, the EU, international trade, global business, marketing and management!

PS. im repeating this year and its not easy so make sure ye are all well prepared!!

Best of luck!!!

Whiskey757

Why do you predict fiche bliain ag fas?

My teacher told us lig sinn i gcathu. Also, was an bhean og not on it last year?

gealt

filiocht ainmnithe:
Gealt (sinister aspects of the poem,personal response)
Bimse Buan ( know historical elements)
Faoiseamh a Gheobhadsa as a back up
Nil Aon Ni as a back up

danta dualgais breise
An t-oilean
Maigdileana
Dan de Melissa
An Mhathair

Aiste/Diospoireacht
Fadhbanna Sochai ( drugs alcohol violence crime politicians etc etc )
Pollution/Timpeallacht/Natural Disasters
Drugs and Alcohol ( which is basically fadhbanna sochai)
Recession ( Developers Politicians Bankers Economic Crisis)

Alot of the essays can be related to each other so if you know your stuff you can relate it to many of the questions as they are normally quite broad , if it says drugs you can write loads on crime and violence and alcohol and stuff and how they are all linked )

Pros
Bean Og most likely ( love, tormented mind)
Lig Sinn i gCathu
Claire sa Speir
Fiche Bliain
Maybe Cearrbhach, but has come up alot


Stair na Gaeilge
Aisling Polaitiula
Ruraiocht
Fiannaiocht
Gaeltachts
Cuirteann Filiochta ( if anyone doesnt know , its where the poets used to meet and pretend to be in a court and talk and debate about poetry, they had a breitheamh (judge) and everything...weirdos
Foras Fearsa ar Eirinn

It was mank, there was at least one mistake on it - the parametric equation they asked for in terms of x should have been asked for in terms of t. And that area of a disc thing hasn't been asked since about 1999 - and even then they gave another clue!
It's all to make project maths look better >:(

Nah, didnt the paper and you can get your answer in terms of x ! Wasn't an error. Still a really tough exam though, has to be said

Guys BE CAREFUL. That rumour goes around every year - it's lies. Only one person knows what's on the paper and that person isn't teaching. Please DO NOT depend on these rumours. General vocabulary - anything is possible. Bonne chance

BIG BIG TIP FOR FRENCH
Apparantely theres a question in the written on cyber bullying (as in internet bullying). One of the exam writers let it slip in the institute and Im not bull****n except I cant find any notes on it bleh

SleazeMerchant wrote: »

There absolutely could be a question on that, the person that makes the paper gets a heap of questions submitted (like maybe 25 per question on the paper!) so its complete guesswork if your teacher said they submitted a question! There's a TINY chance it'll appear on the paper!

But in terms of cyberbulliny and bullying in general, its highly tipped anyways! my teacher predicted it too:)

I don't see why everyone's going mental about those 2 Qs.
the parametric could be found in x if you just thought outside the box and realised the answer in t could be simlified to 2x.
And for the area of the disc by integration you just had to approach it like a normal integration sum.when you get y=√(r²-x²) there is a method for solving this kind of sum (page 78 texts and tests 5 if you don't believe me). You always let x=(√r²)sinx.You shouldn't need a hint. And then once you get that far the rest should have been fin.......

anyone have any hints for spanish, physics or technology?? DESPERATE!!

I was a complete tool and didnt notice in terms of x, but I had it 2(t-1/t+1) or whatever x was, probably lose 3 marks for that and all I had to do was write 2x under it

1) Determination of Sodium Hydrochloride in Bleach
2) Preparation of Ethanal
3) Mass of a volatile liquid, but 3 can really be anything.

If Clare sa Speir comes up then Cearrbhach has to? There linked together and you only have to study one of them! As for the rest of what you said it's pretty much what I'm thinking aswell

the only ones that are linked together are coileach ghleann phadraig and bean og like you pick either or to study and then la bui bealtaine or claire sa speir. so they will give a choice if theyre giving bean og and if they give claire sa speir they will give a choice. i've never heard that if they give cearrbhach they have to give claire sa speir. weird :cool:

Megan.mcgowan

Any predictions for HL History? Ireland topic 2 and Europe topic 3&4??
I know for Topic 3 Jarrow is almost a dead cert, propaganda is likely too but any other suggestions?
Also, my teacher seems sure that for Topic 4 either Literature and Social Criticism or Changing Patterns in Religious Observance (2nd Vatican Council)

No clue for Irish history, reeeeally dont want to learn Parnell so any other suggestions? Topic 2.

Any help would be sweet!
