Institute Predictions

Scoobydooo

So apparently the Institute predictions are the be all and end all and usually come up in June, anyone been to any of the revision courses or actually go there could they post up the predictions ?

I went to a Chemistry one over Easter and we were told the Bleach titration and maybe some of the water ones

For Irish we were told to look at politics and sport for the aiste

Got told yesterday that the Jarrow marches may very well be up (history)

The institute aren't the SEC so beware that some of the predictions may be wrong before you believe them.

Yep, the teachers there may be good but they are not psychic and there are plenty of knowledgeable teachers in schools around the country whose predictions are just as accurate.

In some subjects it's a bit more straightforward to make predications eg Chemistry has three experiments in Section A, so it's safe to rule out the ones that came up in 2009. As the experiments can be grouped a pattern can often be seen. A student with a set of past papers and a bit of common sense can make the prediction themselves on that particular paper.

No simply because every section of the course is covered in the paper in one form or another.

Q2 is always soil
Q4 is always four experiments to do two
Q7 is always genetics

There is always a choice in Q3 and there is a tendency, but it's not written in stone to have one scientific based question and one agricultural based question in this one. EG Option one could be on sheep and Option 2 could be on photosynthesis/respiration/transpiration.

Q9 is always the scientific explanations which tend to repeat themselves over the years so if you sit down with a set of past papers and the marking schemes you should have all the answers to that question. It's generally poorly answered, but has improved in recent years.

Anyone got their predictions for Physics ?? PM me please

My Predictions for Accounting:
Q1: Company Account
Q2/3/4: ??
Q5: The usual~
Q6: Club Account
Q7: Correction of Errors and Suspense
Q8: Marginal Costing (possibly with Absorption)
Q9: Flexible Budgeting

For Maths apparently either the sin or x^3 proof will come up.

Anyone else want to share theirs?

XRays are highly tipped, I have my money on 'vaporisation of water' in Sec.A, and Gravitational Forces didn't come up last year so... fingers crossed!

Physics, btw! =]

I'd love that paper! Boyle's Law and Snell's Law are also tipped for part A! The photoelectric effect is also due up!

First Principles in Differentiation I think!

Higher Level? Seems pretty standard tbh, most people should be well prepared for them like.

Well I'm f***ked for Irish then!!! I've just prepared this one big general essay that includes daoine oga, violence, crime, drugs and a bitta drinkin. oops!

for the sciences you could work it out easily yourself by just looking at the exam papers.

paddyh

Anyone have their predictions for Economics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology or French ??

Thanks a million

Reillyman

Have a gut feeling that Economics Growth and Development will be a question in economics, as well as a (c) part somewhere on Keynesian economics.

I went to the institute at Christmas for the revision course and the didn't even give me notes on the photoelectric effect.
