I thought the Geography was an absolute dream come true. Staying up til 2 the night before definitely helped Maths wasn't too bad either. Did anybody do the question on regional about the concept of region? if so, what did you include? I did the growth of a Dublin. I wasn't as prepared for regional as everything else. Thanks

I did this question . I was delighted with the European sketch map as there was a map of Europe in the short questions:D. I didn't have much of an idea on this question either but did the exact same thing as you, the growth of Dublin. Just talked about it's economical development. It was a toughy, the only question I had to bluff a lot of it :rolleyes:

I wouldn't call it a paper, it's just a page if you exclude the oral.

There's 2 blog styled essays
Two Scéals, where you've to continue a given opening
Two letters (sometimes one is formal, not usually though)
Two Comhrás

You do two of those (not from the same heading), and they recommend on the paper that you write around half a page but chances are even if you're rubbish at Irish you'll get at least a page on each. In fact, you could probably do all 8 in the bloody hour and a half if you were bothered, but two is enough. :P

I agree actually, The Gathering will most likely be a comprehension. Emigration is a very good one to have prepared. Anyone thinking along the lines of sport seen as the Olympics took place last summer?
As far as I know the Alt and Aiste have joined up giving us 5 options in the Aiste section along with the debate

Probably marketing mix question (Global mix)
Types of business expansion (pick best suited to business)
type of business (franchising,Plc,ltd) and why would you change business type etc.
Social responsibility to stakeholders or environment
Possible nasty question we could get is something on European Union institutions/policy's or a business plan

have you and idea for long and short questions please?

What are people studing for Irish paper 1? I'll put some time into emmigration and unemployment in the country. Any other suggestions?

Im preparing just three essays - An Córas Oideachais, An Ghaeilge agus Fadhbanna na daoine óga.

Will I be covered?

Bonbon1995

pointless going into irish having essays learnt off.. know a good 20 vocab words ..we have 2 hours like! 80 marks goes for the language and only 20 for the eolas.. focus on the pros and all that

Yes you most definitely should. Just know the beginning and the end of the diospoireacht

Looking over Biology tonight what are the MOST IMPORTANT things that are expected?

Most of these are definite topics that come up every year, but I'm not saying they will 100% be on the paper:
Scientific Method, Cell Division, Food, Ecology, Heart/Lymphatic system, Monera or Fungi, Respiration or Photosynthesis, Genetics, Lungs, Endocrine system, Senses, Excretion, and either Plant or Human reproduction (male human reproduction is due to come up, but it's not guaranteed!).

Kind of a long list, but if you know most of these, you should be covered!

Pippa1995

So any idea about biology???

Gretog

are there any online resources with some general phrases for the debate for Irish? Id love to have the option of doing the debate but Im finiding the stuff in the book isnt all that helpful

AndreaEgan

Do you think 'Imirce' and 'Is Iomaí Fadhb atá in Eirinn inniu' is enough to cover me for the Aiste/Debate? Don't want to spend too much time looking over the Aiste.

CurryFlavoured

Biology - Human reproduction, plant reproduction, genetics, respiration, photosynthesis and ecology.

They are all the big sections on the course, they come up every year and are at least 20 marks each so make sure you know them fairly well.

Hi, does anybody have a prediction for the poetry and prose for Irish paper two (higher level). I know Hurlamaboc is unlikely but any other ideas? I'm not really planning on counting Irish for points but I want to get a C3 or so just in case! I'm planning on spending more time on biology the night before instead of absorbing crap that I'll never need again! Also what does everybody think of emigration and possibly education and the recession as essay topics? I think I could squeeze the recession into something if all else fails (my teacher suggested that if you really are dead the sceal titles are pretty vague, you lose a certain amount of marks for it being the wrong format obviously but they still have to mark it!)

Oisin Bealoidis and An TEarrach Thiar + Fill Aris

oh and does anyone have French predictions (I know, I know it's impossible) but any lovely French teachers out there???

I only found the short questions hard in geography. I accidently skipped the first page and only found out about it with like 30 seconds left. What on earth is a seismoist or however you spell it?

The person who studies earthquakes and their magnitude on the Richter scale is what I put.

Please tell me you meant An Spailpin Fanach?? Surely they wouldn't repeat the same poem in the second year of the new course?

One thing is tipped to be repeated, although an spailpin fanach is a nice choice too

Why do you think An tEarrach Thiar will be repeated? Everything I've heard has told me to stay away from last years pros and filiocht
