    I'd swap out Isostasy with Human interaction with Surface Processes it's always come up and is much easier :D

    My teacher tried explaining about this. There's something about the higher you get in the written the less the field trip is worth

    Oh really? I haven't heard that one, that is great news though! :)

    Physical:
    Isostacy
    Volcanoes,
    Plate boundaries
    Igneous rocks
    Landform of Erosion
    Feature of Chemical Weathering
    Earthquake with reference to case study
    Human interaction with rock cycle.

    Regional :
    Map of Ireland/European Region
    Changing boundaries of Subcontinental
    Subcontinental Culture
    Population distribution of European region
    Irish development Primary/Secondary Sector
    Effects of Enlargement of EU
    Tertiary Sector of an Subcontinental.

    Geoecology :
    Characteristics of a Biome
    Human Impact on a biome.
    Characteristics of Brown Earth Soils.
    Soil forming processes.

    Great, have similar predictions myself! Seems nice enough too :) You hardly have anything on isostacy?

    Physical and Geo sound good but for Regional do you not think Paris Basin/Mezzo will come up?

    What do you mean by changing boundaries?

    Changing boundaries such as growth of an urban area

    Yeah i'd say paris basin/mez will come up as a map
    Population distribution
    Secondary or tertiary sector

    just dont rely on predictions either I just got tipped most of these from a grinds school.

    Ah ok ya can't take any risks.

    What would be your dream set of qs.

    Mine would be:

    Physical - a) answering qs on a diagram b) quarrying c) waterfall

    Regional - a) answering qs on something b) primary in Europe c) Anything GDA

    Electives - a) answering qs on something b) Tourism in Europe c) MNCs

    Geo - characteristics of Biome.

    I've a feeling that the biome will be on "how animal life adapt to soil and climate" I'm so scared that I I'll get a biome that I won't be able to answer :(

    Anyone have any Leaving Chemistry predictions? Anything to watch out for or is a safe bet?

    External Mature Candidate!

    Cheers

    i say the best thing to do for chemistry is learn all the experiments because you have to answer at least two, then you should know all of atomic theory as well as organic chemistry - you should't fail at all if you know them inside out - i think :)

    Does anyone have any predictions for higher level maths or is it just too unpredictable?

    all I know is financial maths is meant to be a 25 mark question instead of 50

    Poetry I'd say either Mo Ghra-sa (hopefully) or Colscaradh. For the Pró's I'm predicting Cáca milís or Oisín

    We covered both but I think I'll focus on the desert

    Did they say if an exponential-type question is likely to be a 25 marker or 50 marker? HATE those questions.

    Okay so Lets get this straight...
    What will be the long questions? Algebra/arithmetic, diff and integ, what else? :O and how certain is she?

    If there was to be a major change in the question weighting of particular questions in the exam, a circular would have been sent to all schools.

    Admittedly the grinds businesses are not schools, but PLEASE take these alleged predictions with a sack of salt.

    Exactly! As aren't the strand 3 questions meant to be examined as a long question?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,971 ✭✭✭✭peekachoo


    Oh yeah these are only predictions don't take it as stone fact or anything, he mentioned indices and logs to come up but after that maths is basically impossible to predict!

    Higher Level Irish is so unpredictable! The course is only out a year. There are no trends or anything, for paper 2 anyway.
    For the Essay, they're only testing your level of irish, not your information on topics. For this reason, I'm sure we'll be fine.
    As for the rest, Learn ALL the poets, Major themes and Summaries of the Pros. Then I'd say just focus on characters for An Triail.
    Irish is my worst subject, but even so, I don't think it'll be so bad. The oral is done so That will pass most! :D

    Please say your joking! I've spent the last two weeks learn it and its prob the only question I'm confident about! :(

    Look, I doubt this.... Maybe but really unlikely. For paper 1, know Diff, integ, logs, algebra, Induction, complex no's , and financial maths.!
    Ps, I'm not trying to undermine Peekacho, sorry, just my opinion and that's hers/his! :P
