    You people prepared? Started the cramming? Worried? What are you aiming for? I'm aiming for an A, I got 83% on mocks and I did a really bad mistake which costed me 12marks, so i'm confident an A is achieveable.

    Happy cramming! :D

    In the last section, you have to do two of the four questions. For the first question, it's usually the Renaissance, Reformation, and a bunch of other things. Which chapters can come up? Is it exclusively syllabus II content? I'm worried because I'm relying on international relations and some other question. I've heard social change is a bad choice, and I'd rather read the bible than learn Irish history, so it's either social change or the first question.

    Anybody have any tips/notes/advice?

    Oh, and anyone know what might come up for the people in history questions this year?

    From the top...
    you could be asked to write an account about...
    Ireland's first settlers
    The first farmers
    The bronze age
    A monk in early christian ireland
    How celtic society is organised (ri, derbhine, warriors etc)
    Live in celtic Irelend
    Roman houses
    Roman entertainment and leisure
    Roman slaves
    Roman food
    Roman army
    This is going to be a really long post isn't it
    Roman burial and funeral stuff
    Roman achievements (latin language)
    The feudal system
    Medieval castles
    Lord and Lady of a castle
    A Knight
    Rreeaallllllllyy long post!
    Medieval towns
    medieval craftsmen (ie.stages of training)
    Medieval monastery
    Causes of renaissance
    Changes in art during renaissance
    painter from italy ie. da vinci
    painter not from italy ie. Durer
    the printing press
    Galileo
    Shakespeare
    That is alot of material so i advise you to do Q6 C (political developments in ireland) and Q6 D (Political delevopments in europe).

    Do you mean you think that an Explorer and a Reformer will come up? 'Cause they never ask for a specific person in the People in History section, as far as I know.

    I'm doing Ty so we don't get to pick yet. But the choices stay almost the same every year, and this year it was Italian, French or History. XD. Should I ditch Italian and do Russian/Japanese outside school? :p Hard choices ..

    Oooh their hard languages especially having to learn a new alphabet is a b**** French is sort-of close to Italian (both romance languages) and I'm sure theres plenty of French grind teachers in your area of Dublin. Or you could learn over youtube videos, myself I watch French films, read Wikipedia articles in French and talk to my French pals :P

    I did well in the pre but realistically I knew what was coming up, I have no work ethic about the junior though so I'll cram on the morning as I don't do French. So yeah, we got this... thinking solid B

    Slightly freaking out for this, even though I got 95% in the mocks I feel like I haven't covered enough WW2 stuff and Irish Politics from the 60's onwards :(
