I'm pretty chill for a girl who knows 3 novel quotes, nothing for the Irish pros and not all the themes for the filiocht

Also I got a Mass card hopefully it'll do something :pac:

And I have given up on maths, hoping for the B too but it's totally normal to be nervous most of my class are sh*ting it!

You think that's bad

I don't know an Irish essay,prós or filíocht or litir :eek:

I know 14 Merchant of Venice quotes and Dulce et Decorum est(Which I just remember from the mocks,I haven't actually studied it)

I'm just hoping to pass maths.I studied 2 chapters for the mocks and that is all I've done in the past 3 months .

Serious cramming will be done .

A.... B in English,D in Maths and C in Irish would make me happy

Other than those 3 I'm set for about 4-6 A's and 3B's ..with 1 or 2 C's

EDIT: What's a Mass card ?

Taking a break for a few minutes... It hasn't hit me yet that it's on Wednesday so I'll probably freak out tomorrow. I'm afraid that I'll forget everything I know in the English exam (that would be bad, very bad) just hoping everything will be okay though

Same- I'm so afraid that the studied questions in paper two will be some weird obscure questions and I will have no clue what to write about...

This is the thought that keeps me awake at night!

Please tell me I'm not the only one who hasn't properly studied since Saturday

Don't be scared, guys. You've all worked so hard for the past three years. You're all much more than a set of exams. You can and will do this! You've studied hard and it'll reflect in your results come September.

Random burst of inspiration, but seriously You're all going to do so well! Trust in yourself!!

That was deep man...we are nearly at 1000 posts as well! This post is the 977th I think?

Is anyone going to study hard tomorrow? I think i'll just read over some poems and notes. If i cram tomorrow i'll be a nervous, anxious wreck. I'd rather go in a tad less prepared if i'll be calmer. I know i won't do well if i'm too stressed.

Don't be worrying about it. It won't count for much. The real pressure is ahead of you in the coming years. Enjoy it.

Worryingly chilled for someone who has done sfa since christmas... :rolleyes:

Tomorrow I will be cramming like nothing else! Most of it is just revision tho

How can I prepare for the irish letter, besides learning off an opening and closing paragraph? do certain things come up very often?

Im doing all of my english study tomorrow! Although Im confident I will get it all done.

hf98kk

which topics are on maths paper one, and which are on paper 2, or are they able to put anything on either paper? Like is there any chance that a construction or a theorem will be on paper 1?

Our maths teacher seems to think that anything goes in Project Maths because we are the first year to do this exam. In all the sample papers though, the theorems and constructions come up in Paper 2 so I doubt it will be any different in the real thing! (At least I HOPE it won't be...)

If you have edco exam papers look at thr study guide in the front pages.paper 1 contains strand 3 and 4.paper 2 has strand 1&2 .and no a construction or theroem cant appear on paper 1

hf98kk

yeah thanks

With the new project maths, the predictability of the paper is gone. Going through the papers though, proofs, theoroms and constructions seem to all be on the paper 2. However, there is no way of being certain.

P2 - statistics, probability, area and volume, proofs, constructions
P1 - financial maths, algebra, patterns
That's all I can remember rn

Also for the Irish letter a paragraph on mo chlann is handy to throw in!

U could look at holidays-like the weather place your staying,people your staying with and what your going to do tomorow/did today/yesterday.You could probably incorporate them into other things too-sure you could talk.about.the weather.no matter what so even if you knew a few.nathanna cainte from a sceal you could always use them ..idk this is just off the top of my head

Mr Rhode Island Red

Aren't we all a panicked little bunch...:D

Tomorrow is English all the way. I need to revise Romeo and Juliet and its quotes, learn one or two poems (essentially from scratch), and learn some mice and men quotes (had none for the mocks and it definitely showed)

But I won't let my head implode. I can't...:p(who needs sanity when you've got JC)
