Areq

Any predictions on any subject are more than welcome !
My subjects are

Physics ,biology , business , art , math All HL

Lets support chancers ! ) :rolleyes:

Corkgirl18

Physics --- I'm thinking Boyles law
Chemistry --- Bleach!
English --- Boland, Hopkins
Irish - Maigdileana, also something re politics and economy/bochtanas


I can see myself looking this thread up the day before the Leaving in June :L

Areq

Ok this are the physics HL Predictions on section A (experiments)
, this predictions are by great predictor as every year for the last 6 years he predicted 3/4 of the coming up questions :P

Q1. - Measurement of velocity and acceleration
-Boyles
-Laws of equlibrium for a set of co-planar forces
-Verif. of Principle of conservation of momentum
-relationship between period and lenght for simple pendulum
- focal lenght of concave mirror

Q2. -Wavelenght of monohromatic light
-calibration curve of thrmometer
-Specific heat capacity of a liquid and solid by the three methods .

Q3.- Speed of sound in air
-fundamental frequency of steched string and lenght

Q4. -Joules law
-variation of current with voltage

Im just gona rely on those
BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO :P




Terms and conditions apply:eek:

For Home Ec Higher level....my teacher said...protein or carbohydrates with some type of food ie eggs, milk, cheese, cereals, nuts etc have a good chance of coming up in section B question 1. Hope this helps!!

That's 13 out of 24..! :L My teacher narrows it to 5.. and always gets at least 3 right!

For Business, the law of contract hasn't come up in a while. I really hope it does because it's the easiest thing to remember for me

ride-the-spiral

I noticed that Wordsworth hasn't come up on the LC yet so i'm hoping that he will.:o

Repeat2011

Any predictions for geography?

pancakes rule

Anyone predictions for
HL Irish
HL History
HL Music
HL English
HL Business
OL Maths

Ash_M

I reckon Boland, Wordsworth and (hopefully!) Dickenson are possibilities for English. Irish aiste will have to have something about the economy/government anyway, and I'm hoping for Oiche Nollaig na mBan somewhere in there..

Muggwoffin

My biology teacher continually tells us she believes the enzyme experiments will be coming up HL

alr then give us the 5 predictions ?:pac:

Gunslinger92

Be careful with that Boland one, I did the LC last year and so many people only studied her cause they were CONVINCED she'd come up, then they were rightly screwed when she didn't :P

Juat have a back up

Areq

Business HL - Break even chart has a high chance of coming up

Don't get them until nearer the leaving cert.. But I will give them when I get them..! :P

partyatmygaff

Hoping for Dickinson in English.

Quite a general assertion isn't it? Isn't there like 4 or 5 of them? I hope they do tho coz they're pretty easy to remember, especially effect of ph and temperature on the rate of activity..

Areq

So what always comes up on the biology paper anyway ? genetics and what else ?
what is coming up this year :P ?

Who knows! There are some that you can almost guarantee will come up. Ecology will definitely be a long question and perhaps a short one too. Either respiration/photosynthesis or both as was the case on my pre... Really, it's very difficult to predict biology because there's so many chapters... better off to study em all!

Digits

Ag Science anyone? HL

Violafy

Frost had better come up in English. He's way easier than Boland.

Vodkat

Honours Art- Defo a question due on Newgrange!!

Ive been given a few tips in Biology but havnt the notes with me now, will post later

Im only going studying Dickinson, Boland and Wordsworth in English!

AVOID PREDICTIONS LIKE THE PLAGUE!

Irish - Maigdileana

Most of the poems have only come up once, so you can't really rule anything out. An tOileán hasn't come up in the longest though and it was on my Mock.
An Chéad Dráma and Uirchill are the only two you could kind of rule out. I don't think they'll pick the two that haven't come up in the longest though - it's too easy to predict.

An Mháthair - 09
Uirchill an Chreagáin -10 and 07
Oíche Nollaig na mBan - 08
Dán do Mhelissa - 08
An Chéad Dráma - 10 and 06
Maigdiléana - 07
An tOileán - 06
Dá mb’fhéidir arís dár gCumann - 09

Also, in case anyone doesn't know: this course of poetry has only been examined since 2006, any ones further back in the exam papers were made up by Edco/Folens to suit us (it says it on the first page of the exam papers).

It means SFA if it was on your mock TBH, they're only interested in making money.

Gordon Gecko

Cicero is quite likely to be the second prose unseen this year on the Latin paper :pac: :pac: :pac:

Areq

any ideas on Physics - section B this year? :P

fulhamfanincork

Just a guess that this years irish essay will have something to do about irish politics/state of the government

answer me

Biology OL anyone please please i really need it!!

stealinhorses

Areq wrote: »

I'd say linear/circular motion in question 6, as gravity came up last year. The Doppler Effect was on last year as a big question, so maybe something to do with light/wavelengths this year?

Then I'm predicting Walton for particle physics, a question on capacitance and something to do with heat/temperature.

Knowing my luck, I've just stated the exact things which won't be on the paper.

kilrush

my chemistry teacher thinks winkler method will almost definitely be on it and shes pretty good at this kind of thing

Really, there's no way at all of finding out. Just accept it and study.

Ya cant really predict geography but the same thing comes up every year. just asked in different orders. If i got my mock paper in the LC id be DELIGHTED

I dunno, our Irish teacher pointed out that the comprehensions even run in the same vein as what'll come up on the Leaving. They do a good job at picking likely questions IMO.

Steve!

Tabular Statement 100 marker in Accounting maybe?

Sunny!!

id say club, ratios and incomplete for the 100's in acc

FreshTillDeath

Predictions for Economics HL

The government
National Debt
The Multiplier + Circular flow of income
Oligopoly
Perfect Competition
Factors of Production - Capital + Enterprise
International Trade
Economic growth + Development

Since the leaving cert is made out between November and January, the budget was high priority so I guess topics related to it will come up + Ways to get out of it!

ShotgunBoy

English HL

It's Wordsworth's last year so there's a possibility he could come up.

And generally there's ALWAYS a female poet.

Dickinson and Boland havent been up since 2005 or something...they are defo a shoe in for this year xD

xtrcy17x

Hi was just wondering if anyone knows whether a biome question always comes up in the geoecology section of the LC geography paper?

johnmcdnl

quick piece of advise - everyone went for Boland last year because she was so heavily tipped

guess what happened and screwed people over so badly on the day

predictions are predictions just like tips for a horse race are tips and when they go wrong you have to be ready to accept it

just remember that before trying to take predictions from anyone

nommm

I really hope Frost comes up. My English teacher said there's a good chance that it will be him, Dickinson and Boland. *fingers crossed*

Bimse Buan, Jack and Gealt are tipped for HL Irish.

I can't believe that people had the nerve to complain about that after the exam last year even though they're the people that only studied 1/5 poets. :rolleyes:

Any predictions for geography?

I haven't got any direct predictions but I did geography as an extra subject last year and I managed an A2 with some seriously exam focused learning as I didn't have a lot of time to invest in it.

These were my main questions:

Physical:
Landform development - always on the paper
Human interaction with rock cycle /natural processes - always
Sedimentary rock and resulting landscape
Igneous rocks
Metamorphic was on it last year, bit of a shock
Know all the labeled diagrams for the first part of the question

Regional:
Know about the photos and maps and be able to draw decent sketch maps of the regions you studied.
Core: Sedcondary, tertiary, (I did Paris and knew a few statistics for Dublin so I could write the same answer just about Dublin)
Peripheral: I did all 3 primary, secondary, tertiary for Mezz
India / Brazil / SW USA one of these do some questions
Culture
Changing borders over time

Geoecology:
Biome Characteristics
Human Impact on a biome
Realistically you could get away with solely the above 2. I did the rain forest biome and it was very easy. I did soil characteristics which was also very easy to cover myself.
This is by far the easiest part of the paper to get a ridiculous amount of marks for so little time spent studying.

I don't know what elective you do but last year the questions were fine and were as predicted with no deviation from past papers.

Hope that helps

Im a mature student studying pass english at home. Anyone have any advice on poets etc. As i didnt have a mock exam or anyhting. Thanks

hi i'm also studying geo outside school! Wondering, what were your main study methods as this has been a bit of a quandary for me all year!?

The main thing I did was to reduce to whole thing down to what I really needed to do and this made me feel a lot better. I knew I didn't know every single thing on the course like a person who had done it since 4th year but what I did know, I knew well.

All my exam questions I basically had on 1 A4 sheet of paper each. These were lists of SRPs (relevant points just in case you don't know. You have to have so many of these per question in order to get the marks. Each point = marks). I had them very colourful and they were organised into sections of the exam.

For the geoecology I learned off A standard essays and I would suggest the same to anyone. I gave such a feeling of security going into the exam knowing I could get full marks in that question and I did that first as well in the exam which was great so I didn't feel like I knew nothing in the exam and freak out. I did biome characteristics, human impact on a biome - for that I did deforestation and I also did soil characteristics just to cover myself but didn't need it.

Get out all the past papers and any qs like the section As and make sure you can do all of them. These are brilliant marks to get in the exam because there's one in every section

Be smart with things like your regional geography because you can learn off a whole load of stuff and just end up getting confused and know nothing. Do like a skeleton of a question that you'll use and can be used for a load of questions and then just fill in the blanks depending on the question.

A few of my friends in school had Rapid Revision I think it was. It was basically a book of essays and I heard really good things about it although I never had it myself.

The whole thing for me studying at home was just to accept that I'd never get the entire syllabus covered and to just do exam focused learning. It can be a big unnerving at times especially about 1-2 weeks before the exam when the 'oh god what have I done' feelings begin to set in but you'll be ok. A bit of focused cramming in the next 2 months will do you wonders and everything will be fresh in your mind and it's actually an advantage over people who have been writing waffly answers in school.

The best thing I did was to sit down with the papers and drew a few columns and made a table of when the different questions were coming up. Much more effective at this stage if you haven't done this than staring at a book. You'll see a very definite pattern and it will be so reassuring.

Hope that helps a bit

What are people focusing on for HL history, only being offered OL in class but im doing HL by myself. Anyone have any ideas what topics are expected to come up?? Any help would be great:D

mozzypuffs

I think people should stop predicting Irish as this is the last year of this course as it has changed and that means anything could come up!!

Wow thanks so much for taking your time to do that! So you only learned d3 geoecology qs?

J_E

I'll eat my hat if Boland/Dickinson/Wordsworth doesn't come up for English.
