My history predictions:

Nazi Propaganda/Nazi State

Land Question/1886 General Election

1913 Strike and Lockout/Anglo Irish Treaty

That's all I'm studying from the 100 mark essays, I might add one to the dictatorships and democracies section like Italian Fascism but I hate studying Britain and France.

The lock out is from the same book as the land question not the treaty, I'm sure it's just a typo but that's fairly dodgy if you're only preparing the treaty from the pursuit of sovereignty section!

Yeah you're right, I should know that I did the Land question over 1913 in the mocks

I reckon I'll actually study the econmic policy 1922-1939.

My history predictions.

Soverignity and Partition

Anglo Irish Treaty Negotations
Ireland Home Rule - Unionist and Nationalist Response

Dictatorship & Democracy

Nazi Propaganda
Stalinist Russia Economic Policies

Northern Ireland
Welfare State
Sunningdale Agreement
Apprentice Boys
Northern Ireland - Impact of War

Northern Ireland is the most tricky part as anything could be asked.

For maths, a long question on Paper 1 on Financial Maths because it's new for 2013.

you can really never predict art history. Besides you answer 3 questions out of 21, you don't need to predict! :P

True, there's got to be some pattern somewhere though Could youtell me what artists you're learning for the european section? we havn't done anything!

SmidgeBall

In art history a question about a gallery visit always comes up in section 3. so You ca basically learn off one question and use it to fit. For European section just learn about 4 of the artists that you do best in writing about and you should be safe, try and cover most eras

I'm almost certain Mahon will come up, hasn't Kinsella come up the past 2 years?

I'd love if Mahon came up, got 49/50 in the Pre on him

I'd say if Mahon comes up it won't be an easy question. As in, it won't be a question basically saying something like "He can evoke the mood of people and places well" or something like that. There was a fairly tough question on him in one of the mock papers ; I'd say it'll be something like that.

I'm thinking Shakespeare, Mahon, Hopkins and Plath. I'd really like that anyways!

History I would reckon:

Documents: Katanga

Movements for Reform: Land Question, Lockout

Sovereignty + Partition: Something on the government of ireland and the two parties leading it between 1922 and 1937, be it economic, anglo-irish policy or consolidating democracy or building the free state...

USA and The World: Domestic factors affecting Foreign Policy eg McCarthyism

I fùcking pray I'm right

I know Geography probably isn't as predictable cause of the TONS of possible essays, but, any idea what could come up? In particular in relation to Regional and Global Interdependence?

Anyone have business or geography ? both HL

I think its amazing how much time,effort, speculation and worry is spent on the studied poetry - Its worth 50 marks - the single text is 60, the comparative is 70 marks and the composing is worth 100 marks (25% of your entire English paper). Keep that in mind..

Also with economics some people are trying to only get away with only the Micro. Remember they will throw a macro into the part C of a question, such as why the price of residential property has fallen in recent years on a Land question, or a relocation of industry part C on enterprise.

Across the board they will adjust the amount of grades awarded in every subject. There can only be a certain percentage of A1s, B1s etc. With honors maths last year, people were passing with 32%. In honors English a number of years back, people were getting A's with 78%.

Anyone want to give honours accounting a go?

Biology

Long Questions will mostly consist of....

1. Genetics.
2.Ecology.
3.DNA.
4.Neurons.
5.Plants INCLUDING REPRODUCTION.
6.Human Reproduction.
7.Senses e.g the eye or ear but most likely the eye.

DCG

1. Interpenetration.
2. Conics.
3. Perspective.
4. Co-ordinate planes.

I would not be surprised that interpen won't have a show this year as it's become the banker or a question for teachers.

AG

Question 3 should probably be.

1. Sheep.
2. Pigs.

Less likely but still highly recommendable would be Crops here too.

The experiment questions are going to be their usual crap just do all of the questions back to 2000 and you should be covered + DO ALL THE EXPERIMENT QUESTIONS AS EVERYONE F**KS THEMSELVES OVER HERE.

Construction


The drawing will probably be

1. Floor.
2. Roof e.g span a roof over 11m.
3. Window or a door could be likely also.

Physical

- Formation of 2 sedimentary/metamorphic rocks.
- Folding WITH IRISH EXAMPLES.
- The development of an Irish feature of erosion/deposition.
- Karst landscape, probably subsurface feature.

I'm not even going to bother chancing regional as it's so dodge. Sorry

Apparently Emigration (eisimirce/imirce) are likely to come up this year... Obviously it could be wrong, so don't take it as gospel.

Anyone got any predictions for Home Ec or Business? I know I'm going to be focusing on lipids for Home Ec but that's about it

Luize

I know it's a touchy subject as it's so "unpredictable" but I'm almost convinced it's gonna be Plath and Shakespeare on this years paper. Shakespeare has yet to come up on and Plath hasn't been on since 2007!

Would 'Ginmhilleadh' be too controversial to have? It was topical in around October/November when the papers would've been made.

Slow Show

I'd be very, very surprised if it came up tbh, really wouldn't be worth the trouble for the SEC I'd imagine. I'm not doing it but I wouldn't be too surprised if something more general like 'Cumhacht Na Meain Cumarsaide' came up instead, as the Savita Halapannavar case was very topical at the time and sure that's where all the controversy stemmed from.

I'm doing Daoine Oga, An Ghaeilge, An Coras Oideachais, An Tostal and I have a generic 'the country's in a mess' essay, and I'm leaving it at that,hopefully I won't need to do too much improvising. :P

Yes, I think you're probably right about that.

What the heck is 'An Tostal'?

I didn't know what it was either until the day of my Irish oral :P It's basically a government initiative to bring Irish people back to Ireland and people to Ireland in general by hosting events etc. You should google it if you want more info I'm probably not the best person to ask
