It came up a few years ago and isn't so topical anymore so I'm not sure it would come up.

Also, regarding this Gathering, wouldn't it be an awfully specific title? It's almost like an essay you'd write in history? Surely cultur na hÉireann would be more likely.

Personally think the essay titles are a bit stupid in general, wouldnt be able to write about half of them in English let alone Irish.. But apparently one year after the US elections an essay title of "An Uachtaran Barack Obama" came up. Like... what?! I definitely think the Tostal is worth learning about.

When are the exam papers made up does anyone know?

- 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

I was told this but he said formation of two igneous rocks, I'm learning the formation of them all to be safe.
My own teacher thinks the demographic transition model might come up as a 30 marker.

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

Yeah i'm wondering this too, I think the topic is too sensitive to put on the paper though?
Do ye think Maistineacht could come up due to the amount of cyber bullying around august/september?

Hey guys i never really look into predictions but i'd be interested to see what anyone thinks the biology experiment questions could be?

I think "enzyme immobilisation and its application" & " isolation of DNA" are highly likely. There will be an experiment questions with lots of short questions based on most of the experiments such as T.S stem, food tests, quantitive surveys etc

I don't think fungi/rhizopus/yeast, blood, genetic engineering, brain/nervous system will come up this year.

Highly likely:
Skin, homeostatsis, defence system, DNA, bacteria, endocrine system, human reproduction, respiration, ecology, genetics, muscles & skeleton, plants (transport & gas exchange), food (short q's)

The heart & lymphatic system also likely for this year.

For Spanish I reckon one of the conprehensioms is going to be about the old woman who "restored" a very famous painting and did a terrible job, she couldn't see what was wrong with it. It was a famous story involving Spain, how could it not come up

Any physics predictions?

I agree, actually i'm probably wrong about the defence system coming up this year

any economics, ag science and chemistry predictions please and thank you

Physics is very predictable, i'll be doing :

Q5 short questions
Q6 mechanics
Q8 & Q10 modern/particle physics
Q11 sts
Q12 (a) mechance & Q12(d) Modern physics

That's 6 questions, and i only need 5, the physics paper is marked very nicely, not like the biology paper. I haven't looked through the experiments yet to see whats likely to come up. If i have loads of time nearer the exam i might revise for electromagnetism as i think it's very likely to come up for Q9

Should we have a full essay on emigration for Irish? We did an culu eacnamaiochta in which I have probably about 5 lines on imirce.. I need to write an essay out today on Irish/an tostal too, should I do one on emigration? Or could I just use most of my culu essay (talking about everything we had in the Celtic tiger, how people are struggling now, left with nothing etc) and just add in something about people going abroad for work?

They possibly could tell that you've just used an essay you've learnt off about the recession. I'd make emigration a central part of it, keep referring to it being the problem throughout the essay and have a few statistics about Irish emigration.

Okay, thanks. I guess I shouldn't really use it in almost every essay then :P

Well definitely take bits and pieces from it but writing at length about something not directly related to the title could be potentially risky! You could adapt it though, certainly.

That part would probably be about a page long. I'll see what I can do sure! Thanks!

I agree with 0mega for chemistry, along with a really sneaky question in Q.4 to state one of those obscure principles in that chapter on valency shells (Aufbau, Hund's or Pauli). I don't know why, just a feeling, they were never asked before.

For English poetry, Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Mahon, and either Hopkins or Plath
Single Text: Something on Kingship, and maybe changes in relationship between Macbeth and his wife. Hopefully.

Aiste Ghaeilge: Staid na Gaeilge, possibly An Tóstál, or An Chóras Oideachais
Paper 2: An Spailpín Fánach for filíocht, Oisín i dTír na nÓg for prós.

I think anyone here who gets at least 60% of their prediction right should start a psychic hotline service :P

Anyone think bliain na gaeilge is important? I'm doing an essay on the gathering but all I have for bliain na gaeilge is a short piece from Dreimire..

Slow Show

For An Tostal/An Imirce you can just use the same essay tbh, it's what I'm doing, eg for a general Imirce a solution would be The Gathering, for an essay on the Gathering you'd have to talk about imirce! I'm doing a Gaeilge essay myself, dunno if it'll come up, I was pretty stuck for sources for information too but my Irish book (Fiuntas) had some pretty handy stuff tbf, then had notes from my teacher too so that's fine.

For Chemistry I think the Winklers titration is more likely than water of crystallisation, it's been years, like I think 2003/2004 was the last time it was asked. There's a lot they can ask about it so it's definitely worth spending some time on, I think.

I'm not sure they'd give us the hardest poem and story in one go for Irish.

I think we'll get an easy poem and hard story this year (the opposite of last year).

Yep, that pretty much correlates with what my teacher has been telling us all year. She's all but promising we'll get Ethanoid Acid/Ethanal this year. She said she'd be very surprised if it wasn't one of them but obviously, not to limit ourselves by not studying the others..
