I've double the word limit for mine and I haven't even finished it... Not sure what to do tbh.

You've got until the end of this month to get it finished though, that's plenty of time

We started ours back in January

I hope I get mine done on time my teacher is so stupid for leaving it right until the last minute and during the weeks the orals would be on.
I would work on it myself if I knew what I had to do. He's not told us anything.
Whats your project on?

Mysteriouschic

Whats everyones geography project on?
Is anyone else doing "A survey of the distribution of economic activities past and present in a local area." ?

Yeah same here. Mine is well over a thousand. My teacher told me to write "1000" exactly. How obvious would that be? :L

I don't really know if I want to risk having 500+ words extra....

There's just loads to learn! Regional is an absolute sickener I think!

When we were doing our sections our Teacher would not allow us to go over the word count at all. She was actually so strict about it!

I have 956 words for the whole thing. Including headings. My Teacher corrects the exams and said they'll know if your way over by looking at it.

I just want an A2 in Geography. I really, really want it! I'm not sure what to cut out of study though. I don't think there's a whole lot!

it's on meanders and how they were formed and stuff, went to the liffey in Wicklow for the field project

Mysteriouschic

My last years project was this
1.Geomorphic processes of transportation and/or deposition in a fluvial or coastal environment

and I still have the project at home all the work that I did for it. I would just copy my last years one if I could.

Wesc.

Look, stop fretting over it. The max marks they can take off is 5. I really don't think it's worth the risk cutting out extra pieces of information at the risk of missing out on SRPs. If you're sure everything is going to get you full marks and don't think you can cut out anymore, then don't. What's the worst that can happen, you get 95/100? Doesn't sound too bad to me :P

How did you get on in your project last year if you don't mind me asking?

I thought it went fine. I kept to the word limit.
There were a lot of graphs to draw. It wasn't too hard to write about either, I used my book for some of it and put it into my own words. It took about a week or two copying the information we had when the booklets arrived.
I'm not sure the result I got for it as you just get it combined .

This years I haven't a clue what I'm really doing , I have a general idea .

Mayo_Boy

I really need to study next week .......

Bears and Vodka

Just realised I left my Irish textbook in school! Does anyone have a link to the text of all the poems? Or do I have to put it together myself..? :P
BTW, if you are also trying to prepare for the reading bit of the Oral Exam, this is very handy.

Yeah tech is marks in the bag according to everyone haha Ahh right, 33 seconds? Handy enough haha

Luno

I didn't even think Nicki Minaj had four songs... Does she not want something a bit different too? :P

I've been playing stuff that isn't for my practical, been playing practical pieces since September I'm bored! I haven't done music technology yet either.... Can I bring my own laptop in to do it no?

That depends on if your school is supplying a computer to use in the exam

My teacher is supplying her laptop apparently... I don't want to use MuseScore though cause it crashes on my laptop and I've never used it before. I'd rather use Finale (which I've actually used before).

I've spent so long playing Sims I've managed to get to the fifth generation. Pleasantview has none of the original characters in it.

number of people I've had to say "no I'm afraid we are all outta easter eggs"
It was another heartbreaking day in work :O christmas all over again :O

Ahh right, you should mention it to here on Monday asap so she can arrange it for you, something similar to that happened in my school last year, one lad brought his laptop in instead of using the computer supplied

I've watched my music teacher struggle with her laptop all year, it has crashed several times. My reliable laptop with better equipment would suit me much better than a laptop I've never used before!

Going to ask can I bring in my own laptop anyways, worth a shot.
