There was a thread on this a few months ago that might be worth digging up. I did a European special topic last year, however i only found out later that people who do Irish special topics get on average a higher mark for their topics. If you are picking an Irish special topic then make sure that it's completly original. Examiners also LOVE local history topics. Something like the history of railways in your area, something on the local Land League organisation or an interesting incident that took place in your area.

In short, do an original local Irish history essay, more likely to get a higher mark

I did a European one (Sputnik) and got 80/80. And, luckily for me, it actually was interesting - unlike the vast majority of the other options I briefly looked into.

My cousin and sister gave me their pre exam topics(basically what they did in the exam), both got a1's so i have two topics to chose from, it aint cheating its just semi fraudulent.

Don't know if you are doing art or not?

If you are consider doing a special topic on DADA and its effects on the WW1 as an Anti-war movement.

Thats what I did and I got 76/80

Thats what everyone does pretty much, dont kid yourself your not a mad ****er cheating the whole system and trying to pass it off to look super mad.

This guy is coming onto a leaving cert forum looking for his special topic. He obviously hasnt checked the internet or looked around in his local community thats whats annoying me

Im also doin Higher Level history i was thinking of doing winston churchill in the Boer war. But if it`s irish history you`re looking for i`d say countess markaviech`s part in the 1913 lock out would be good.

I agree with Damnyanks, go do your own topics.

There are only a few history exam markers in the country, so there is a chance that the same examiner could be marking the same special topic, if that happens you are up a certain creek without a certain implement . . .

I did Hitler in World War one and I've gotten full marks for it both times in tests, although I lost one mark cause my review was written in 30 seconds during the summer exam

Try the "Battle of Kursk" where the soviets destroyed army group centre due to the helpful information of the British crack of the enigma encoding machine and the great stratagem from General Zhukov...
