I would also appreciate something on Home Ec. Just started it this year (am a repeat) and pretty much did f*** all. Well did great in all the class tests, not hard when you know what is comming up and just study it a few minutes before. But now, I am seriously screwed. So much stuff...

History

i think the following are enough to have prepared for the HL History

section A - Home Rule, Land Question(inc Butt Parnell and Davitt personalities

section B - Cumann n nGaedhal Years, Fianna Fail years, neutral Itreland, Lemass

section C - France, Bismarck, Russia and Versailles

section D - de gaulle/5th republic(my tip), post war germany, post war britain, and maybe 1 of hitler, mussolini to make sure

section E - do the research topic - I only started mine last week!

Nietzschean

Covered
Sec A - nothing..... Except maybe constructive Unionism up to 1920.

Sec B - Cummann na nGnaeheal and basicall ecomnomic polocies up to 1939

Sec D - Hitler , Stalin, Cold war.

Raskolnikov

Imperialism came up last year under the title European Exapnsion Overseas 1870-1914, different essay title, same old crap :P

I'm suprised no one here is tipping the Spanish Civil War and Krushchev for section D

Oh by the way expect this years history exam to be tougher than last years, i have heard rumblings that section is going to be a tough one, make sure you cover a good few topics for it

Personally I am going to leave out more than i should and only study two topics per section

Raggamuffin

i was thinking that when i was walking in a trance aorund my house............. Cold war......... th only thing is spanish civil war names are hard......... mussolini is a nice easy essay.....
i did imperialism cause i already had it done for mocks might aswell study it anwyays

Raskolnikov

You are probably better sticking to the more mainstream topics that are covered in more detail in the text books. Anyway best of luck and remember the important thing is to get every essay completed

Raggamuffin

yeah i'm happy now i got some **** covered today.....
ugh....... alot of writing but i'm goin for the A if the stuff comes up

If you write on one question that maximum mark you can get is 50/80. To get a theoretical full marks you must write on two countries
