Ok so for english heres my predictions, ive gone back through every exam paper since 2000 and tried to figure things out:

Poetry:
Im not making definite guesses because ive prepared five poets well (plath, wordsworth, shakespeare, hopkins, bishop) so i dont really mind who comes up because I should be guaranteed a question but i really think Wordsworth has a very good chance of coming up as he has never come up before and isnt on next years course. Furthermore, Hopkins has only come up twice and Shakespeare once, both at the beginning of the 2000's. Seeing as theres no set rule on having women poets I wouldnt just study the women and hope for the best as although its 99% chance there'll be a women, they could always throw a spanner in the works. I also have a feeling they might repeat kinsella.

Comparitive:
Im nearly certain they wont have theme and issue and cultural context together, I think it'll be a mix of one of theme and issue and cultural context and one of vision and viewpoint and literary genre.

Macbeth:
kingship and banquo.

I have done a huge amount of looking into this, so of course i could be wrong and this is broader than a lot of predictions but I have a very strong feeling on the comparitive anyway that theme and issue and cultural context wont come up together.

I thought vision and viewpoint isn't on our course??

Kind of off topic question but what do people think would be a good option to do in college, as in trying to get a job afterwards. I've no idea what I want to do

I'm the exact same , I really don't know what i want to do exactly my Cao has so many different courses on it lol

I'd say He's as good as we are! Heck, If the papers were so predictable, wouldn't everyone get an A. and I know the whole bell curve crap, but if you get it right, you get it right....

Ya it's the same as human activities like over grazing and all that. I'd look over how plants and animals are affected by soil and climate also.

Yeah I have the plants and animals one, thanks I thought human was like deforestation,permant settlement, agriculture etc. ?

Not always ,last year he said Heaney and Plath for English which was wrong . But I heard he's usually right, just going to check what he says anyway

ooh maybe not sorry i just have notes for it and we went though it briefly in school. I still wouldnt be so sure about cc and theme coming up together anyway because it went like this in this pattern

2009- Theme & CC
2010- VV & LG
2011- Theme & CC
2012 VV & LG
2013- I dont know but would they repeat the pattern again

just a thought

I don't know why people put so much weight in Eoghan Jackson's predictions. He just looks back over the papers and makes predictions based on patterns and what is due up. His predictions are as good as anyone else who is able to do the same. He got it terribly wrong last year with English.

Exactly! What does he know that we do not? :P

Do you know for english in the macbeth question, if an answer comes up on both kingship and banquo and 90% of the country do kinship and you did banquo would it get marked easier?

I done an essay on cultural context recently and I had ten paragraphs. It was eight pages long and I got 80%.
You should be aiming for six or seven pages in the exam. So I would say anything between eight and ten paragraphs.:)

I hope you didn't say "I done" in your essay

I think its like this: you wouldnt be purposefully marked easier but subconsiously for an examiner to correct 26 kingships and then come across a banquo essay he/she might be so relieved and mark it better.

its why, despite the fact i love her, im avoiding plath unless i have to.

Yeah I get what you mean, they would get sick of doing the same thing over and over. If the come up I won't know who to do depends on the question I suppose

Your really better off doing what your best at regardless of how many other people are doing the same question, because a really good essay is still going to get the marks, just try not learn off samples from books or notes the rest of your class will use and form your own answers based on those points. T'will be grand

Not always, he had Plath and Heaney predicted for last year, neither of which came up. His accounting was also a bit dodgy, but hey, you can't always get it right.
