    My biology teacher dropped some hints regarding our paper. Don't know if it's DEB or Exam Craft yet but will update as soon as I know. (HL paper)
    Long questions: Ecology, Genetics (no crosses, just theory) Biochemistry, Skeletal system and muscular system, Plant reproduction and Human reproduction (he said these two types of reproduction were both in one question) and possibly Monera

    French teacher hinted at something also for one of the written questions. Again don't know which company but will update asap.
    know about emigration/ immigration and how to write about it.

    Good luck everyone!

  • Registered Users Posts: 199 ✭✭siebey123


    Saw a few dodgy posts regarding the examcraft OL Irish paper 2. Sat the exam today so I'll just post what came up.
    the first comprehension was about the Barcelona football team and Patrick O'Connell

    Second comprehension was about Spunout.ie

    The Prós Ainmnithe (a) was on Dís and (b) was a choice between Cáca Milis and An Lasair Choille

    Dis questions were based on the summary. You're asked to describe the start of the short story, describe the visits between the woman and the survey lady, what part the wife played in the survey, what Sean says about the survey, and finally, you're asked what happened at end of the story.


    For An Lasair Choile you're asked to describe what happened in the short drama "go scaoiltear Binncheol as a chás" don't know what that Irish part means, sorry.

    For Cáca Milis you're asked to describe what happened between Catherine and Paul on the train.

    The Filíocht Ainmnithe was on Colscaradh and An Spailpin Fánach.

    For Colscaradh (a) you're asked what the theme is and two things about it.

    ii) asked you about what type of person the man was

    iii) You're asked whether you like the poem or not and two reasons why.


    For An Spailpin Fánach you're asked 5 short questions about the poem.

    II) Describe in your own words the working life of the spailpín

    iii) asked whether you like the poem and two reasons. Best of luck!

    DCG DEB spoilers:
    Conic sections long question - know how to get a focal sphere for a hyberbola and where directrix, vertex and focal point for it, and then draw the hyperbola from a cut cone, and draw it in plan.

    Oblique plane long question - planes given are just two triangles with a given line of intersection, know how to get dihedral angle from that and then the traces of a plane, and then the angle of inclination between vertical and horizontal traces.

    Structural forms long question - tough one, know hyperbolic paraboloids and their traces.

    Geological Geometry - pretty straightforward, know how to do a sloping road, and then also how to find the dip and strike of 3 vertical holes.

    Short questions included development of an elipse onto a cylinder, axonometric of a trophy with a circle in it, a perspective drawing with auxillary vanishing points at 25 degrees, and an interpenetration question

    Not sure if this is the place, but;

    I think there was actually a problem with the
    equilibrium
    question on this paper...
    They didn't give you the state of each component of the reaction (e.g. ethanoic acid wasn't listed as aqueous, etc.). Usually this is fine, because it has little relevance, but they put in water as one of the components of the reversible reaction. Since we don't know if it was liquid (i.e. the solvent of the product) or gaseous/solid (not a solvent) then it's impossible whether to know if it should be counted in the concentration calculations or not.

    The problem is that if it was listed as (l) - liquid, it wouldn't be counted in the Kc equation, because the solvent concentration is ignored. I did it this way in the exam, but other people did it the other way (counted its concentration) and I think both are valid because they didn't say.

    Any chem teachers/students to clarify?

    The prices are available on their websites. I don't think there's a huge difference between them (if any).


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 27,264 CMod ✭✭✭✭spurious


    Anyone know how long it takes for them to come back?

    There are people still picking them up to correct them. Both companies want them back within a week to ten days, so it depends on when your school sent them out, which company they are with, how many correctors that company has, how quickly the correctors get through them etc..
