A question about the Question B's:

Last year an Article, talk and diary entries was asked. What are the chances of them being asked again this year? Instead they might throw in interview, letter or something else?

Ye guys will be fine , just stay calm and study. If it makes ye feel any better Im 30 years old doing the leaving Cert! Bring it on !

I dont know if they do it as carefully as P2, i.e. making sure they dont ask the same formats again, its not like you can predict it or anything. :P I'd love a letter or article, but I'd hate an interview

I hate all of the B questions. I always feel like an idiot, whatever I write - diary entries, interviews and letters make me cringe. Hopefully an article will come up. :rolleyes:

I did the interview for the pre (Interviewing 50 cent:p) and i got 39/50. Haven't done many questions B's so must start practicing them especially for the articles, letters. Talks/speeches might be ok aswell.

If it makes anyone feel better tomorrow I'm going to write out a Literary Genre essay and a GV+V essay...for the first time.

625 points here I come.

Im not even sure what those even mean.
I dont even know what my texts are about.
Night before job I think, so I have some hope of remembering it.

I'm thinking of writing a letter, short speech, radio talk, article and diary entry tomorrow, hoping that will cover me for the question B's:p

So here's where I am with all my stuff atm:

English: Need to go over Theme or Issue, a few bits for Hamlet and Larkin+Kavanagh essay but am fairly sorted other than that (I think :pac:).

Irish: Need to just learn off my debate phrases and go over poetry and
prós a bit.. Am feeling v.good about Irish atm!

Maths: Need to learn proofs, constructions and theorems. For Paper 1 need to go over some bits for induction, integration and differentiation. Paper 2... I'm f***ed basically. I'm just gonna do all sample papers.

History: Need to go over essay plans for Northern Ireland book and Anglo=Irish Treaty but other than that am pretty good!

Physics: Came up from 44% in my first mock to 76% in my second mock so am delighted with Physics atm.. Just need to go over modern physics and electricity and then should be grand!

Engineering: Just need to revise Testing, Plastics and Special Topic.

French: Need to go over opinion piece phrases and vocab.. and the subjonctif too!

Music: Not worrying about it because I have like 4 days off before it!

Sorry for the essay.. Probably makes me look a bit pretentious, posting all this stuff but it makes me feel a bit better if it's all written out in front of me! Makes me feel like I'm making a bit of progress!

Yeah I feel its nice to have it in front of the screen aswell:p .. How many pages would any1 write for a Question B? I wrote like 3 and a half pages in the pre but ran out of time writing my short story although I was on the last paragraph, so maybe 2 pages?

The High Crusade

Maths - Everything, not joking.
English - Gonna wing paper 1, be grand. Go over some poetry.
Irish - Just read over some stuff the night before.
Geography - Maximum cramming on everything.
Home Ec - See Geography.
German - Be grand.
DCG - Have a 5 day break before it, come in every day and do nonstop DCG.

As you can all see I'm screwed.

Wesc.

I'm doing max 6 hours a day I think from now on, I think it's important to relax Besides, I'm well set for Geography, Maths, French, Irish and I've about 4 days to study Applied Maths and Physics So I'll be just working on my Paper 1 in English and learning essays for Paper 2 for the next week. I'll do a few maths paper 2's aswell paper 1 is fine. I know the Geo course anyway so I'll just constantly read over my answers so they stay fresh in mind. I'll do a bit of French listening and c'est tout!

Oh my lord, if you get that done fair play man. Fair play.

I remember someone asking me for the timetable I used for the last few days of the LC and the LC itself... for those interested:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1stQFaQi9Ik-RYecK4PSwhhhD2-a9NDQ0i1z5OUs0Tgs/edit

At the end of it all, I distinctly remember telling myself how having a rigid timetable saved me from ending up in a disorganised frenzy in the few days before and during the exam. I'd recommend anyone worried about planning for the next few days to make something similar.

haha couldn't help laugh when I seen your user name man
Best bet is to go over what has a good chance of coming up if you dont have time to learn everything off.
Earthquakes(plate tec), karst limestone regions/sedimentary rock, mining, 3 gorges dam, paris and italy, development of sao paulo and maybe paris.And then whatever you did for the option.

Its always soo handy if you just write out the bullet points on little flashcards, because if you know the basic points (only need about 10/12) then you can use the cards to try elaborate on sentences!
