    I feel sick just thinking about the hour or so before this exam, praying that the following come up
    Section A: Unionism, Davitt
    Section B: Inter Party Gov, Fianna Fail in power
    Section C: F3R, Eastern Question
    Section D: Mussolini, Stalin

    And I also have business on Wed :/ It's going to be a disgusting day.

    I'm pretty well covered with 3 main topics for each section. But my problem is handrwiting: mine is terrible & slow. Within the time limit, I can only manage about 3 and a half pages (750-800 words?). Which is enough to get 7-8 good paragraphs across - but by the last two essays my handrwiting turns to goo :(

    Anyway, the topics I'm doing (the important ones underlined) are;
    Section A: Butt/Parnell/Early Home Rule; Cultural Nationalism; Constructive Unionism.
    Section B: All of Northern Ireland; Fianna Fail 1932-45; Cumann na nGaedhal 1922-1932
    Section C: French Third Republic; Germany (Bismarck/Wilhelm II); Britain (Anglo/German relations)
    Section D: Hitler (Rise to Power/Build up to War/Totalitarian State); Mussolini

    Project is perfect too :). If you haven't really done your project before, just write it out twice the night before (in about an hour), and try 4-5 of the project questions from past papers. You don't even really need to have done a project in detail imo, just an obscure topic with a good opening (i.e. a question), 5-6 factual/commentary paragraphs, a good ending (that answers question and maybe renders an opinion).

    Good luck )

    I'm in a positive mood now for some reason. Very unlike me, all this goddamn biology cramming is turning m schizo or something. Anyway my point is that the geography paper seemed to have been straightforward today, don't do geo but according to my friends pretty much what was expected came up. This is definitely a good sign that the same will be true of history on Wed since its the last year of the geo course too. So that justifies me only learning four essays yay! If all goes horribly wrong I can blame it on the misleading Exam paper writers.

    I'm so screwed
    Haven't learned any essays yet or have a special topic
    I have a day off tomorrow but I don't think it will be enough
    Especially since I have Business with it aswell
    I'll probably have to make History my 7th subject
    But that means I'll have to learn Physics
    :(

    I have 3 7th subjects: Jistory, Physics and tech, so dont feel bad.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 208 ✭✭7thSeal


    It's alright
    I plan to repeat anyway
    I just don't want really crap results

    Michael Davitt
    Inter-Party Govt
    French 3rd Republic
    Russia under Stalin.

    and my special topic!!....pray for me


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 728 ✭✭✭randomfella


    Section A - Davitt
    Section B - INterparty
    Section C - France
    Section D - Hitler's consolidation/rise
    Section E - Special Topic


    BACKUP
    Section A - Parnell - overall, Ulster Opposition to Hr
    Section B - Ireland 39-45, Sinn Fein -if need be, doubt it'll come up
    Section C - I could prob produce D3 grade Russia under Tsars
    Section D - Cold war

    Meh i don't know which ones are my strongest. i don't have any way of gauging how much knowledge i have. I don't work well at waffling in history.
    I'd say i'm fine with this.

    Same here! I'm gonna be so wrecked and dejected after the trauma of biology that I won't be capable of learning more than those four tonight. Think my special topic could be a bit dodgy too. Please please please let them come up!
