History tomorrow...

Da Shins Kelly

What's being tipped? All I've heard is Mussolini, German foreign policy (as in, why Hitler went to war and all that) and The Moon Landing.

What about Ireland?

I wish I knew I'm freaking out.
I've basically only done the case studies. Anybody else the same?

You should be ok for titles, as one will come up, but you run the risk of an awkwardly phrased question.

I haven't EVEN done the case studies At least I don't do French, like some poor sods! (most people) Although as soon as history finishes I gotta cram biology, art history, and German... Still! I will be SO HAPPY when history is over!!! Not that I dislike it, but because it's just such a scary exam...

By the way I think Ireland in WW2 is coming up for S&P. I'm putting most of my study emphasis on that anyway!

Sl!mCharles

PRAYING Pop Culture comes up along with a birra Sunningdale. Ah just looking forward to this time tomorrow full stop(.)

orlabobs

Oh I will be very happy when Hitstory's done. I mean, It's my fav subject, but boy is there alot to learn.

My bets are (as well as my hopes!):
Sinn Fein
Consolidating democracy
Influence church on politics and state

Mussolini
Anti Semitism
Church state relations germany and italy
foreign policy germany
britain (maybe society ww2)

US economy
Moon Landing
Mont Bus Boycott

Oh and for some reason, I think Colraine will make a shock appearance. Or sunningdale, but I think they'll want to stay away from the obvious...

Will I be okay with the Nazis, Mussolini, and Britain for D&D? Bit of a risk but I suppose I'm better off just keeping it at that at this stage...

Me too, I'll be so depressed if it goes badly. I think that's why I'm so scared about it - I'm putting loads of pressure on myself that I HAVE to get an A1, so if it turns out badly I'll be so disappointed! I think a lot of people are the same... Hence the dread :P

fufureida

That whole issue was going on right through the year , including the time when the paper was made.Hence, I reckon the Apprentice Boys of Derry might show up , and in the contextualisation Q you could mention it if you mention Bloody Sunday

Don't worry, you can definitely get a B! None of this negative talk, don't be worrying!
I wouldn't pull an all nighter, history is impossible on little sleep! Your performance in that 3 hours is just as important as how much you know so make sure you're in good form! I'm gonna study until around 10 and then get up at 6 or 7 - at least then I'll have a decent bit of sleep I suppose. Tempted for the all nighter myself at this stage though :P

Question:

What I the battle of the bogside and what is bloody Sunday.

Bloody Sunday isn't really important so I wouldn't worry. Basically http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Sunday_(1972)

NR

Ireland Topic 3: Eucharistic Congress, 1916, Cosgrave Years, Free State/Northern Ireland in WW2
Case Studies: All of them, Coleraine and Apprentice Boys of Derry aren't too much bother to get through.

And for the others:
Europe Topic 2: I just know Bismarck, Wilhelm II, and Germany's economy, and that should be fine for one essay
Europe Topic 3: Church/State Tensions, Anti-Semitism in Germany, Purges/Show Trials

That's what I've gathered from wandering around the internet and notes I've gotten from different courses.

YungJoshy

I havnt looked at anything from Northern Ireland as the answers will be in the documents. Will I get away with this?

milk two sugars

CnaG and FF economic and social policies
eucharistic congress


russia stalin/lenin
nuremberg rallies
britain in ww11

vietnam
moon landing
american foreign poicy

sunningdale/coleraine

Is History still the 3 hours 20 mins exam it used to be where you had to write about 40 pages?

Mau5

Im looking at only being able to answer essays with about 4 paragraphs excluding into + conclusion then just refaring back to the question loads to squeeze marks out of it!

hopefully got about 15% for research project if not more, then say 10-15 % out of the document then about 10% from the other questions...

Id be chuffed just not failing it at this stage TBH:(

ceol18

if anything political comes up, there's a chance i might just fall asleep during the exam....it's just so so unbearabley DULL

SEInvincible

i heard Facism , Vietnam and Eucharisric Congress, nothing solid though obv.

Everyone is sayin sunningdale:(

Victoria.

=[

I know me too! 40 minutes is just not enough!! I have to be really disciplined, no matter where I am in the essay I force myself to stop after exactly 40 minutes and move on. Tis the only way!

Tis fair to say. But at least once it's over, well...

Actually I'll have to run straight home and study biology and art history...

Scan Man

It definitely is going to be rough. Haven't opened the book all year, so I'm just going to cram with Revisewise on the topics mentioned most frequently in this thread

Is is really necessary to do all the Northern stuff? It's only on the documents and most people could probably waffle them with a bit of contextual knowledge.

LovexxLife

Its will be bad
But my plan is to remain calm as long as i get a honour i be happy:)

I'm kind of thinking the same. I mean, they basically hand you the marks for the first two parts of the documents, the third is just showing you have a general understanding of it and Contextualisation is the only 'rough' part of it, as such.

Fingers crossed I didn't just jinx it for tomorrow... :rolleyes:

jenjenxx

what could dey ask on coleraine??

Scan Man

Considering I've been winging it all year, I can't see why that tactic is going to fail me tomorrow I'd like to get as high a grade as I can, but I'm out of the Points race at this stage but it's my own fault, probably an eternity of PLC courses lie in the not so distant future!

I think I'll do a very rough look over the Northern stuff and focus on the essays.

kfpt

does anyone else think that the american economy will appear???

or the moon landing?

and what are ye doin for irish topic ??

cumann na gaedhal nd al that crap?!?!?!..i havnt even lookd at that:(

God I hope so! Doing Ireland in WW2, pretty sure it'll come up!

RetroRainbow

If it makes you feel any better, kfpt, I haven't hardly looked at anything. Have Hitler's foreign policy, so far, and that's literally it.

Shall probably do the church state affairs in Italy, and have a working knowledge of both Germany and Russia. For America, shall probably do the Mongtomery bus boycott, race relations, poverty, and troubled affluence. Vietnam and America's foreign policy, too. For Irish, the CnG government between 22 - 23. Economic/foreign policy, and Anglo Irish relations. Oh, and a case study.

If I can manage it all in, of course.

Eeeep.

madlad88

just learnt 3 essays in 2 and a half hours im really taking a big gamble on just learning 3 hopefully it shall pay off
Sunningdale better come up aswe or i'll probably just laugh if it doesnt:D

Yep, infact, I'm getting up in 6 hours from now to start studying... Because I haven't even started. I'm one of those guys who leaves everything to the last minute and crams everything into my head just before the exam.

jenjenxx

Am I the only one that woke up at 7am to study, then told myself "A good Leaving Cert needs their rest" and went back to bed?

CasualLiKE

Can you change levels on the day? I'd hope so because I have French first thing at half nine my mind will be messed up after it. Is this any way possible?for the research topic can't the examiner just mark you out of an ordinary level percentage?
