was predicted for french and business?

Ive heard nearly everything for business. Focusing on units 1-5 seems to be the way to go.

French is unpredictable but some speculations.

-10 year ban on the smoking ban this year (when it was introduced it came up)
-World Cup this year (sports and friendship)
-Mandela's death (Racism, discrimination)
-Where you see yourself in 10 years ( Left the bailout, improving economy)
-Maybe somethinh on anglo irish relations (Michael D visited England around the time papers are set)

The list goes on. But in truth its unpredictable.

Wait, so LG could come up for UA this year? I thought it wasn't on the course this year?

thanks! Tbh I wouldn't mind Belfast, but I find the congress hard to write about because there's so little to it

Yeah there's probably the least amount of content on it. Most of the essay can be bullsh**ted however, so it's not all that bad.

Hopefully not. It came up last year and it'd be damn cruel to give it again when we're only two years into the new course. Anyway, I'm not studying the filíocht/prós that came up the last two years. Not worth the effort for a mere 5% when I still need to work on the aiste and A Thig Ná Tit Orm.

I sincerely hope it won't be any that came up in the new course, if we do get any of the previous prós/poems I can only imagine the uproar...

I know this isn't technically a prediction but does anyone know if you have to learn about the poets for the Irish HL poems? It's in some of the sample papers but our teacher says she can't imagine them asking about them that's mainly pass poems.

To contribute to predictions our teacher also said the same as other French posts I've seen:
-10 year smoking ban
-world cup (racism and sport in general)
-nelson Mandela related quote to do with equality maybe
-obesity/health
-alcohol/drugs the usual tied with them

I also think for some reason Heaney might appear as a comprehension on paper 1 as a wicked twist, but he didn't appear on the paper since 2003/2004 I believe and he isn't on the course again until after 2018! Bear in mind the majority of people will learn him though... I believe the 4 best contenders are Dickinson, Heaney, Larkin, yeats.

Chemistry:our teacher is convinced a water experiment will appear as well as iron tablet experiment and finally ethene/Ethyne, believe he mentioned soap too.

Business:know the break even chart well, the good thing about the abq being units 1,2,3 is Q1 and Q4 are generally tied in with those units which is quite handy!

I'm focusing on these and looking over the rest. I think Brazil activities will appear because of the World Cup, so I'm paying particular attention to Tertiary and Culture while Stalin always appears as well as Home Rule. In American History its always Lyndon or Truman.

I predict that these 'definates' will definitely come up. After all, this is a prediction thread. Just because I gave my assumptions doesn't mean its a fact. If only.....

The papers were mostly set last summer, long before Nelson Mandela died.
That's not to say they might not have edited the paper at a late stage, but I would regard that as a fairly outside chance.

You say that, yet the horse meat scandal appeared on the French paper despite not happening until January 2013 or thereabouts.

I don't think the papers are made as early as people think.

The information is in the public domain.
You can read all about it here : http://www.examinations.ie/about/Setting%20Manual_rev3.pdf including the timetable drafting/setting on page 11 of that pdf.

Of course there is some leeway, but efforts are made to have it all done and dusted the previous summer.

I know the Institute of Education (the ultimate grinds school in Dublin) are predicting Yeats, Dickinson and Heaney to come up, and they haven't been wrong in like 10 years or something ridiculous like that. I hate all three of them, it's gonna be a nightmare! :P Plath is my queen - I'm kinda hoping that she'll pop up.

Any idea about the Modes for the Comparative? I need GVV >.<

My Physics teacher has been telling us for a month that the Electricity experiment will probably be Joule's Law too.

Im in the insitiute my poetry teacher has told us to learn yeats, heaney, dickinson, larkin and kinsella. He said big emphasis on dickinson ,larkin and heaney.

Cian Hogan thinks a Macbeth character/play imagery combination question is likely

Which poets came up on each of Mocks papers?
I'm sure Heaney was on both of them. I think those that came on both papers are most likely to come up...

Imagery came up last year!

Like with the imagery and character in one question or one character Q and one imagery Q.

Another potential topic for Macbeth is why it's still popular to a modern audience.

Mocks are really no indication at all as to what will come up so dont base your theory off mocks thats what my teachers say. and I cant quite remember but I did the heaney question for poetry in the mocks.

I'm worried about English, I've done Yeats, Heaney and Bishop and know them well, (I love all three and found them easy to write about). My class did Kinsella in fifth year and I hated his poetry and kind of disregarded him, same with Plath. Now I'm worried that I don't have enough with just those three, but I feel if anything I'll at least have Heaney to fall back on?

Learn a fourth just to be safe! 3 is too risky

Any help with "an Triail" guys

Do you think I'd be covered for Section 2 if I had had interpretation (ratio), tabular, service, club, and farm ready? We haven't done Cash flow and I strongly dislike suspense!
