English Poetry Question

    Why is everyone inclining that Plath and Heaney might come up? They BOTH came up on my Pres so wouldn't that make it less probable that they might come up for the Leaving Cert? And if we're talking about Poets who hasn't shown up then shouldn't Larkin be a shoe in? I might have scared you off since tomorrow is our English paper 2 but I'm just curious as to why would Plath and Heaney come up twice in one year...

    The pres have absolutely nothing to do with the actual Leaving Cert.

    Papers are printed before the mocks.

    Mocks are set by private companies or by your own teachers, not by the SEC. Those setting the LC papers won't even have seen the mocks papers by the time the papers are finalised.

    No relationship whatsoever between the two. :)
