WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR JUNIOR CERTIFICATE HISTORY

xTwizLaH

Im studying for a " a settler on a named plantation " Martin Luther and Christopher Columbus any predictions?

concerned student

going over the questions that came up in the mocks also ..a lot of stuff that came up in my mocks came up in the actual exam so far.. people in my year seem to forgot that the people who made the mocks were trying to predict what will come up. good luck to everyone studying my tip for people in history are: an explorer during the explorations ...a revolutionary leader(could come up outside of america)....and a lord/lady of a manor
but who knows.

I'm fairly sure a renaissance artist is going to come up so I'd highly recommend learning Da Vinci and Albrecht Durer, incase you get a named renaissance artist outside Italy.

Please keep everything in the one history thread, thanks.

Don't rely too heavily on others make a judgement of your own.

I've just moved down to Ordinary Level (OL) History. I've never looked at an OL paper in my life and I am not familiar with the People in History questions that come up. What are the most often that come up and any predictions?

I'm guessing the short questions are the same or quite similar to the Higher Level short questions so I'll probably be okay with those...

When it says lord/lady of a castle do you have to know both or can you write about a lord?

Say you choose the write on the lord, are there still marks going for points about the Lady. eg. My wife is called the lady. She does.... She also enjoys...

Does anyone know how much to write for a :
12 mark account (Q6)
14 mark account (Q5) } taken from 2003 paper
20 mark account (Q4)

For 10-14 marks I'd say 1 A4 page maybe a page and a half.
For 20 marks deffinitely two A4 pages.

Would you guys agree or anything?
Thanks

What are the most often People in History Q's in Ordinary Level that come up and any predictions?

Anyone?

orriray59

I really hope I don't get screwed for Q.4.

I think if I study Social Change in 20th Century Ireland I should be fine for Q.6.

Should I learn two Cold War crises?

We were told to focus in on one so I only really know the Blockade but I think that there were years that said Korean War or Cuban Missile Crisis but not the Blockade!

Should I bother to go over the Korean War or is there no point?

Renaissance artist in Italy
Lord in a medieval castle
World war two-D-day
George Washington
Mine worker
Ireland during ww2
a person living in ancient ireland.:)


If you learn all these you be fine

Just a quick question. When it asks for a RENAISSANCE PAINTER (ie. non place specific) can you do the one outside of Italy (ie. Bruegel) and still get full marks, I find it much easier than DaVinci.

Although, I do know both, just remembering all the details from Bruegel is easier than DaVinci I find.

Thanks

Yup if they don't mention inside/outside specifically, then you're grand (as was the case in the mocks)...but I personally struggle to get facts on bruegel, as my book doesn't cover him in much detail, so I'd stick with DaVinci

Oh and here's a nice resource I came across, learn all this & a few people in history accounts and you've got yourself an A!

http://www.stkevinscollege.com/juniorCertHistory.html

Edit: oh and for people in history, 1 is almost always a named person, and the other is just a normal person, so make sure you have a mix of both studied

Here's a list of all possible people in histories, along with the number of times they each came up. Personally, I really thing archaeologist is coming up,

(1)An archaeologist on a dig(2)

(2)A person living in ancient ireland(2)

(3)A monk in an early christian monastery(4)

(4)A person living in an ancient civilisation outside ireland(3)

(5)The lord or lady of a medeival castle(2)

(6)A named renaissance artist from OUTSIDE italy(1)

(7)A named renaissance artist from italy(1)

(8)A named leader on a voyage during the age of exploration(2)

(9)A named religious reformer at the time of the reformation(2)

(10)A settler who received land during a named plantation(4)

(11)A named leader involved in a revolution(america,france or ireland)(1)

(12)A farm labourer during the agricultural revolution(2)

(13)A mine or factory worker during the industrial revolution(2)

(14)A British or american soldier Who took part in D-Day(1)

(15)A person living in britain during the blitz(0)

(16)A person living in ireland during the emergency(1)

(17)A named leader in the struggle for Irish indpendence 1900-1923(2)

So what ones do you think will come up? Id say " A lord or lady of a medieval castle" or " a settler who received land during a named plantation "

Yup I think you're good with them,

For unnamed people go for archaeologist, lord/lady & a settler (possibly a monk too)

For named, go for Renaissance artist (leonardo), Explorations voyager (columbus) and whoever else you want.

One that was not mention however, was a named leader during the rise of the superpowers, if you learn kennedy, you can talk about the cuban missile crisis, so in a way, you're hitting 2 birds with 1 stone,

Personally, I really thing archaeologist is coming up
