I was just wondering why people bother predicting for Maths.
Paper I will have algebra, complex numbers, maybe some matrices, then sequences and series, a mixed question, differentiation and integration. I mean, it's not going to change. Trying to predict exactly what will be asked in each section is pointless. You need to be good at Maths, not good at predicting and learning off the exact question that comes up without understanding any of it! :rolleyes: 0 -
The U-Value
oh and a drawing question :L
Besides the obvious though, things like insulation and foundations come up most years dont they?
So I think it will be safe enough to concentrate on the drawings (can be used in Q.1 and also in other Qs), the U-Value which is very easy if you are in any way decent at maths, insulation, foundations and then a couple of other areas you are most comfortable in.
I know this is more of advice than predictions but I think if you go with that you'll be more than fine.
ye u-value and two drawings come up every year so then really you only have to answer to other questions. I have a feeling something about wheelchair access will come up. They some to like asking that in the last few years. Ye theres usually something about foundations and insulation too. I think theres neatly always a question on passive housing aswell, could be wrong though! how you fixed for the day exam? Oh and hows your project coming along?0 -
Anyone got any ideas for Physics?
Judging off both mock papers, and what came up last year, so far I'm thinking (under spoilers because of mocks!):Section A: fundamental frequency of a stretched string, specific latent heat, one of the mechanics ones. almost definitely not boyle's law or monochromatic light.
Section B: the Q11 STS looks like it might be nuclear physics. also a full question on optics.
Anybody got anything else?

Edit: uh oh, are we still meant to keep mocks details under spoilers? I'll go back and change it if we are...?
As far as I know there are still some schools completing theirs so for now, spoilering them would be great In the next week or 2 ye should be able to talk about them as much as ye like! 0 -

Came up in 2010, 2008 and 2006 :P I'm rooting for it so! It seems like an obviously pattern!
I don't think De Valera will come up :P Three years in a row! Yikes!
But you never know 2011 people were probably saying the same except 2 years in a row! I also really really doubt Michael Collins will come up! I know he's never came up but in every exam they're nasty in one way or another so I think either de Valera is on it or Michael Collins isn't!
Just warning :P Don't rely completely on predictions no matter how tempting they are :O Case studies came up every year in every question in History except last year :P People who thought of only needing case studies was screwed I'd imagine :O
I did history for the leaving cert last year, it's a very tough course to predict. For the documents question (Q1) last year everyone in the country, even top state examiners were saying that coleraine was guaranteed so thats what i focused on and in the end all the predictions were wrong and the apprentice boys came up on the paper.
You need to be careful with history because even if a topic came up the year before there's no saying the same topic won't come up the next year but asked in a different way0 -

Just wondering, how do people make document predictions? Everyone is saying India is up this year, but its never been examined so what are they going on?
I never bothered with the document last year. Did a bit of study for every other question, but I didn't waste any time on the document. It's a good thing I didn't because whichever one was 'guaranteed' to come up didn't. My essay was terrible, but I still got 60/60 for the main part.
In other words, I have no idea how they predict what's coming up, but my advice is not to spend too much time on the document. Work on it only when you're sorted for everything else. It's only 40 marks you're studying for at the end of the day. 0 -

Which do you think will come up for the pros and filiocht? Also, what essay/diospoireacht? Really dont know what to look at for irish
What came up in your mock for irish and english? And any other subject
My teacher thinks Geibheann will come up along with Colscaradh. I got 55% just the papers but with my pre oral added in I got 61%.. I didn't write much for the pros or filiocht I just wrote a lot for paper one.0 -
My teacher said with the Document based Q they've always picked the political option in the past and India is the political option this time round? I think Katanga is economic and French Race Relations is the social? That's what the predictions are based on anyways!Just wondering, how do people make document predictions?
