You have a 25% chance of sucess with the poets. 50% with comparitive and 20% with Single text.

You have a 2% chance of success in this English paper. lol. (i.e. at least one of your studied material coming up on paper 2 in each section.)

You won't fail. I did no poet last year and got a C2, but for Comparative I'd do at least two modes, if not all 3.

Ah I thought that was what it was. Thanks!

Nobody can predict the leaving cert but these are just a few things im thinking.

English: Everybody is predicting either Mahon or Plath but I've got a strong feeling that the department are going to be absolute knobheads and stick on kinsella or Rich again to spice things up, I'd only love for Mahon to come up now but I'm kind of doubting it. Think I'll go ahead with Mahon and kinsella and throw in a bit of Bishop and hope for the best!
Macbeth I'm doing kingship and learning general quotes and the whole evil imagery and whatnot.
Comparative I'm praying for theme or issue because the essay we've done on cultural context is pure Japanese!

Geography: The usuals like river Rhine, landforms of deposition/erosion, I'm thinking igneous rocks, volcanos, I'd say the regional will be as scattered and confusing as always, the elective is usually the same stuff each year mnc's globalisation etc and as for the biome I'm praying for the characteristics!

Irish OL: I'm fairly terrible at irish but I know my teacher is thinking An Spailpin Fanach and I think colscaradh! Then with the stories I've not a notion to even what they're called haha!

Business HL: Also terrible at business but I'm kind of hoping for either a decent ratios question or a break even chart if not both, ABQ will be hard as the past few years they've had the same question of the marketing mix which I don't think they'll throw in again sadly, no idea why but I think a cash flow yoke will pop up somewhere and industrial relations! Genuinely don't know where to start with business!

Art History HL: I know a lot of people including the teachers are thinking newgrange will come up which would be handy now but if not they seem to be focusing on the same type of bronze age/iron age objects etc for the past few years! I'd say the gothic/Romanesque question will be a hard one with a picture of buildings and us explaining them, the pre question was lovely about churches on a pilgrimage route but I doubt it'll be an easy one, Giotto looks fairly decent aswell to come up! The gallery question might be worded differently or something but without a doubt it's the easiest of them all, talk about absolutely everything in the gallery make it up make up the layout the size of the paintings it is so so simple just make sure it's worded in accordance to the question asked!

Maths OL: I don't really understand how people predict maths so I'll just go ahead and say study good and hard on this one cause your done if you fail it!

These are just ideas I have in my head, i am by no means saying this is what will come up so don't hold me liable haha! study everything and anything and you'll be fine!

For English, Are ye guys doing the full comparative question (70 marks) or the mixed one (40/30)?

Which is the easiest one to get marks in?

It depends on the question asked, obviously, but I usually try to do the straight 70. I find it easier to focus on all the three texts at the same time. But again, it depends on the question!

outnumbered

Yeah I suppose! I was not really thinking of the question. I have this really long essay like 12 A4 typed pages on both CC and Theme and i have 36 comparative links. seemingly, we need about 15 so if i try my best to meomorise the links and then just weave them into the question.
I think that the trick is to keep saying something about the essay title in each paragraph. That truly is paramount to our success
All the best with it!

Add in CnG and FF's economic and social policies from 1921-WW2 and you're set in my opinion. Maybe look over De Valera.

Toblerone123

Ive an essay on Cumann na gaedheal and Fianna Fails economic policies and its the one I did in the mocks, but has it actually ever come up? I could look through my papers but that's a bit of an effort!!

lol don't say silly things, he'll be looking for your head on a stick given your reassurance. You still have time to do the bare minimum. Do it.

Just be careful that you will actually pass , they obviously didn't count english , even 50% in p1 wil not save you if you fail the second paper ,to be frank it doesn't take that much extra time to do another few poets if it will increase your chances of passing

From the back of my mind they have came up, and quite regularly. Usually they might ask you to compare the two (like who handled Anglo-Irish relations better W.T Cosgrave (CnG) or Eamon de Valera (FF)?) or what were the successes of one or the other.

Toblerone123

Anglo-Irish relations is a completely different question though!! I made that mistake and wrote the economic policies essay out instead of the one my teacher assigned us on the anglo-irish relations, worked to my advantage coming up on the mocks! :P Just looked through the papers there it has never come up as a full question.. in 2006 there was a question on Cosgrave and in 2011 one on deValera, they would both just use parts of that essay though. Oh I'd love if it came up thats one of the few I know very well

matTNT

I'll bet any man(or woman) 10 euro that Irish economic policy will come up, it's never come up before but I've got a feeling it will.

Toblerone123

Same I have a good feeling about it! And it came up on both mock papers if I'm correct?

No silly, it's a hint McElligott is the only key personality who hasn't come up and he's in the Irish economy section. I thought your teacher would have mentioned it tbh...

Stop using the word silly. It's silly and condescending...

hahaha oh I see, well no my teacher says she always stays away form predicting because when she was young she gave her class a list of things she thought were going to come up and none of them did!!
