Leaving Cert 2014 OT v2.0 - Official Bitch & Moan thread

thelad95

We had the most horrible marker for English P2 in the mocks. I had the highest in the class with 69% (giggity). Got 47/70 in comparative having never got below 58 in the three years I've done English. Also got 31/60 for Lady Macbeth although I had feck all quotes and poor topic sentences but it still merited at least a B in my eyes.

As for feckin Geoecology: What would I be if I was attached to another object by an incline plane wrapped helically around an axis?

Fair play Didn't even think they played hurling in Mayo tbh :pac:

The seniors lost to Kerry in Christy Ring semi-final, so it's there.

Unfortunately, football is and probably always will be the dominant sport here. I'd rather watch an under-12 hurling club match than senior football to be honest. No comparison in class and style between the two games! :cool:

I was the same, did so disappointingly in the mocks, I got a C1 having previously only ever gotten As for the last 6 years
Im finding it hard to get my confidence in English back now, I put my all into my mock and that happened

Stay positive Under stress you do a lot better than you think you will, even if you dont think you know very much going into a big exam a lot of it comes back to you. I didnt study for the macbeth section in the mock and got 47/60 I only used like about 7 quotes in it

I'm trying to cram a bit of Heaney here at the minute. The five poems we did are:
A constable calls
The underground
Sunlight
The forge
A call

Usually for poetry I use three themes in an answer and talk about 4-5 poems with regard those. Varies from question to question obviously but that's the kind of blueprint I like to use. I'm struggling to find 3 distinct themes for these 5 though.

So what will I do ? How are people preparing Heaney ?

Sunlight and constable calls - Memory, childhood - association with people(his aunt and father) and place(his childhood home)
The forge- poetic imagination
Idk about the others I didnt do those

The themes I use for heaey are love/admiration and memory/retrospect/history
But we do different poems, the ones we do are
A Constable Calls
The Forge
Mossbawn
Harvest Bow
The Skunk

I always talk about language (accessible and informal) onomatopoeia (lots of it in the poems we did) and imagery when I talk about heaney too

How do you guys actually study comparative/macbeth/poetry? Write out quotes? Make essay plans? Write essays?

For comparative, I have all the points under 7 headings written on flashcards. I revise these then go to exam papers and do out a few plans and write an intro and conclusion.

For macbeth, I have all the aspects of Lady Macbeth and Macbeth written out on flashcards and I review these regularly. I still have to do the other characters and Kingship.

For poetry... I cry and pray a nice Q on Heaney comes up.

Yeah for section 1 we only do the 60 mark questions. We've done all of them so should have a choice on the day you pretty much have everything there. If you can do service you can do club aswell, and if you can do revaluation you can do depreciation so you're well covered

I've a feeling we'll reach 10000 by the end of the month. This place tends to explode with new accounts during the LC and there's us regulars who have clocked up something like 1200 posts in 24 hours :rolleyes:

Join the club I got 61 in my english mock and it was the highest in our class and we're a class that usually have a good few a's and b's .
At this stage thinking I probably won't count English so disheartened with it
