2 FM kicks ass for predictions!!!!

life_is_music

They predicted Larkin, Rich and Mahon for Enlish - all 3 came uo
they predicted literary genre and theme and issue - both came up

Irish they predicted as essay on the health service - it came up

Maths 2 - they predicted perp. distance and cos rule - both came up

Geography they predicted human interference with the biome - it came up

I'm guessing this isn't luck and the people they interviewset the paper

Either way I'm happy

7pm every night!

Hah, 'fraid i wouldn't think so. I only do the maths and eng, but in fairness the things that came up there were fairly obv! so i had the poets and those formulae doubly learnt:)

Must give it a listen before History then so

Cokehead Mother

OP do you have past exam papers? Cause that is entirely what their predictions are based on.

Take English for example. Cultural context wasn't likely to come up because it came up in 2006 and 2007. By process of elimination, theme/issue and lit genre were likely to appear.

They're not crazily insightful or anything.

Bah! I listened to it most nights last year and did bugger all good
Predicted isostasy in Geography - nope. Had to skip the Rivers question because I was sure it would come up.
Predicted "An Mhathair" for Irish poetry - nope. Nice easy poem, would have been great to answer on.
Predicted Kavanagh for English - nope. Luckily we got Plath so I survived!

The one thing it did predict correctly that I wouldn't have thought of myself was a theorem on Maths Paper 2 (the one about difference equations, think it was Q.6)

The programme is an interesting listen all the same.

But it's nothing an on the ball teacher couldn't predict. People who set the papers aren't allowed to comment on them anyway.

The story that you have to do is going to be Lig Sin i gCathu most likely. And then Clare sa Speir and an Bean og should come up in the other section.

In fairness they aren't going to tell you exactly what is going to appear, if that was the case then everybody with a radio could get an A. I think we're pretty lucky with the stage the course is at that its pretty much narrowed down to 4 honours poems, I'd hate to be doing it the first year of a new course.

The Business teacher on didn't say that much really cos there's no real way of predicting, except to focus on the ABQ units.

life_is_music

Yeah but so did half the teachers in the country.. And in all honesty what help is it a few hours before the exam.. Yeah you can cram but our teacher told us to focus on these stories and poems weeks/months ago...

Bug!!!

what were there predictions for PHYSICS please

SimpleLogic

the guy talking about Physics didnt predict too much. For experiments he mentioned; Newtons law, sonometer thing.sorry not much help, you can listen again at. http://www.rte.ie/2fm/406/

Bug!!!

i would listen but my intenet is too slow im living in the past

tasha1

Got Stair Right Too..

life_is_music

Physics he said the sonometer (obvious) and f = ma

Fitzo

Did they give History Predictions?

DowneyBookGirl

I only caught the last 5 mins, so all I heard the guy say was "Focus on the case studies."

I'd say look over the last 2 years of exam papers, and cover about 4 or 5 topics from each section. Make sure you have about 2 case studies from each book included in these. I know 12-15 (excl. documents) is a lot but its a good way to cover yourself fully for tomorrow.

Good luck. I think we all need it....

History was a load of sh*te, he gave sweet fuck all predictions except a vague hint at the show trials and the treaty.
