Mocks help

MRledzepo

My mocks start the 5th of February im doing All honours and aiming to pass everything in the mocks
This is what I've done so far
Geography - case studies
History - Calvin , monk , Wolf Tone , da Vinci and Cuban missile crisis
Science - nothing mostly common sense
Maths - some past papers
English - to kill a mockingbird I studied a relationship , merchant of Venice I studied the court room scene and I'm gonna wing it with some war poem and a constable calls
Irish - I've learnt a short story answer off by heart it deals with sport and happiness and sadness and I learnt Uaigness and measc duine
German - I've learnt nothing im planning on cramming some vocab and phrases for my letter
Business - I absolutely hate it , I know budgets and club accounts off by heart , just need to revise tpl&appr and the cash book general journal , I'm good with the short questions .


Do you think I'm in a good position to wing a few B's ?
Going to add in anything extra I study over the next week .

You wont be able to get a B with just case studies in geography. look at some social geography and stuff like earthquakes/rocks/rainfall and stuff on population density, they often come up.

Try going through past papers and see what you can answer. JC geography can be very repetitive so make sure that you can answer most questions if you want high marks.

I really don't think learning 4 or 5 people in history accounts alone is going to get you a B in history. But if you're just aiming to pass, what you've learnt plus a bit of "creative thinking" might scrape a pass.

And I can say from experience that "common sense" isn't going to get a B in science either. A rather thorough understanding of the entire syllabus is essential to a high grade.

Don't be under the illusion that Geography is an easy exam! Geography had the third lowest A rate of all Junior Cert subjects last year (Maths, Irish were higher).

I learned 2 PIH for my JC(got a and they both came up, they are always predictable every year you can always single out 4 or 5 and at least one could come up.

In terms of predicting people in histories , my teacher is making us learn people in histories that came up in 2014 for a class test , it's frustrating as I know they won't be on my paper , are the people in histories for the mocks usually close to what will come up in June ?

Yeah the mocks are predictions for the junior cert

The mocks are a guess from commercial companies as to what will come up. They are nothing to do with the SEC.

Regarding People in History answers, most people learn off an answer that is WAY too long. Look at the marking schemes - see how many SRSs you need to have.
