The likelihood of Yeats?

The___________

Well just finished a Yeats study session there so I'm praying that he appears on the paper tommorow-but what do you think are the chance of this occurring?

I'm going to browse some Kavanagh notes now too in order to have a back-up!

Mwah

my teacher predicted yeats and rich... dunno why she predicted rich tbh... but im doing boland and yeats
so i hope he is up!!!!!!!!!!!

I think pretty much everyone is expecting him to come up. A lot of teachers have predicted Yeats.

Judging by comments on this website, and by most people I know, half the country are counting on yeats or boland. Surely one of them must come up,right?:cool:

Wasn't it his anniversary this year or last year? Surely he'll come up.

I doubt they'd ever do that. Also if you'd studied your 5 poets you'd be safe for all eventualities =P Then again I only did 4 so

I'd love Eliot

Yeats, Kavanagh, Eliot Longley. Come on guys!!!!

I only studied 4 too.
I chose them on chances of appearing though so I think that decreases the risk a lot. Yeats, Kavanagh, Longley and Eliot. No women , we only did Boland and I wasn't impressed so sticking with the men.

No, they dont want there to be a noticable pattern. Theyre not going to try and bluff us, but they also dont want us to know whos coming up...

I did 4, so theres a 1.4% chance none of mine will come up:p

That said, Im better at some than others

Assuming that there's a woman every year on the paper (yes I know they don't have to do it, but let's assume there is) that leaves us with 3 men every year. There's 6 men on our course this year. That means that you only need to cover 4 men to be completely sure that one of them will come up. So you're safer than people like me who did 3 men and 1 woman

On Countdown to 906 Mr. English man predicted:

Yeats, Boland, Kavanagh, Eliot

I reeeallly want Longley though. Isn't it his last year on the course for now or something so the liklihood is pretty good for him too.

Yeats seems like a definite this year anyway so you should be ok.

Longley and Eliot are not on the course next year. Neither are Walcott or Keats, not that it matters much.
