Tips for June

Jackies green army

English: Boland, Dickinson, Cultural context
Business: Contract law, Breakeven charts, insurance, legislative measures regarding the consumer
Economics: Oligopoly mixed with other market structure I think imperfect, international trade, taxation national debt, a Q on the census or IMF or Nama
History: Economy under Stalin and Lenin in soviet union, Hitlers foreign policy, question based on armed conflict in Korea and/or Vietnam, civil rights movement
Geography: plate tectonics and earthquakes, learn sketch maps like the back of your hand, land use models adapt to Dublin, effects of emigration on a donor region

I'd second those English and Business tips except i'll add Wordsworth as a very possible candidate.

How do youz know?

partyatmygaff

We don't! They're just predictions.

Whiskey757

What are you basing them on though?

Jackies green army

Intuition and epiphany
Another for geography geoecolgy Q: human interaction with a biome

Educated guesses of ourselves and our teachers (Well that's what i'm basing mine on anyway )


I don't really focus too much on them though. Far too dangerous to try and guess what will come up.

Consumer rights and all the legalities that relate to them. Small claims court e.t.c. Not just the laws.

English;

• Boland,
• Dickinson,
• Frost,
• Wordsworth.

Do 6 completely different essays for paper1 now & you'll be nearly garaunteed to be able to work one of them in!
Economics;
Imperfect competition(50-60 marks) with a small role for perfect competition(15-25marks).
Oligopoly is always thought to be coming up has been tipped since 2008, if it comes up will likely be an independent (75 mark)question. Oligopoly wouldn't be a great topic to mix with imperfect aswell.I'd agree with the NAMA, IMF, CENSUS assumption one of them is likely to come up.

Geography;

• Waterfall.
• Karst landscape.
• Human interaction rock cycle.
• either igneous or sedimentary rock formation.
• Secondary activities europe.
• Primary activities ireland.
• Culture sub/continental.
• Migration.

Business;
Expect Management to dominate paper, just make sure you know units 3,4 & 5 exceptionally well & it's easy to get a B. If you're trying to push for an A i'd recommend covering unit 6 well too.
Short Questions; Just do the last 12 years then make sure you know the institutions of the EU.

do not do this as they will see a mile away that you ad it prepared and will therefore mark you a lot harder

Don't bother predicting for business. Its a waste of time. I thought debt/equity ratio wouldn't come up 2 years in a row and it did. Cost me my A1. take a look at this video of predictions and then take a look at the 2010 paper and see how much of it came up

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_Vk1EUKF6Y

Some came up but most didn't and this guy was really good at the predictions bar the whole "Boland" thing.

I think if there's one thing people should have learned from last year it's not to bother predicting the poets for English. Through this site, my friends, and my teachers; I've heard countless different combinations of "dead certs." It pains me to say it but we might as well just learn 5 and give ourselves no question of getting a poet we've studied.

Reason Bolan didn't come up was because her grand daughter sat her leaving last year. Was on RTE after the English papers last year I remember.

If you studied, Boland, Dickinson and Frost.... and none came up, I'd be amazed/


Dunno why people got so fixated on the poetry though. It's not worth the most marks, you have a better idea what is coming up anyways. Stop wasting your time and focus on something more productive like Hamlet. Poetry is simply learn off a few quotes for each poet, know the poems, know the poets style and be able to write good English.

Every year people panic about poets... laughable really when you consider the amount of work needed for other aspects.

RMD

Learn Boland, Dickinson and Rich and you're guaranteed 1 of them. Feminists would raise a shít storm if a woman poet didn't come up.

Exothermic

In my own opinion, it's most likely to be Dickinson, Boland, Frost and either Hopkins or Wordsworth.

If Boland does show a face this year, I really doubt it's going to be a nice question. People are expecting her back this year so they'll probably throw out quite a difficult question. I remembering seeing something about Mythology in her poems. I stayed well away from it...

aranciata

Why do people think Hopkins won't be coming up?
I think it's going to be either Boland or Frost, but not both.

I remember hearing Boland was on the first paper (as in the paper that got handed out early and had to be re-colected and changed). Could be wrong though?

Wasn't that 2 years ago?

Bbbbolger

You're right. My mistake!

partyatmygaff

Boland is so likely to come up.

But that may either mean she will actually come up or the SEC might purposefully not put her on the paper to throw people off.

Even if she is on the paper you're guaranteed that the question will be awkward to prevent people from regurgitating essays.

Two topics likely to come up covered with free notes by Nina Noble online, handy for any economics heads.

For history I dont know if stalin will come, he came up last year , surely mussulini is due an apperance or even britain. Im expecting the civil rigths for america or the decline of american foreign ploicy. What type of hamlet qestion can we expect?

jumpguy

I've a funny feeling Boland won't come up.

She's on the course for next year too, meaning they could not put her on this year, teaching the lesson that, once again, it's a bad idea to put all your hopes on one poet, and then do it again next year (or put her on this year or next year).

She COULD come up this year, but I don't know how people are getting the idea that it's a certainty, it isn't by any means.

DaveMur1

It's probably easier just to leave Boland out. If she does come up it will be a horrible question about mythology or women's perspective's on society.

It's actually probably better to leave all the woman out,if you look over the last few years the questions on women are nearly always harder than the male's questions.

Study Frost & Wordsworth well & i'd say your probably sorted for the poetry.

That's not true.

Maths: only do the minimum 6 questions. choose your best 6 and do them and only them. if you have half hour at the end look over what you have done. if your unsure what your best 6 are look at all the parts and tick off the parts you can do and then do the ones with the most ticks.

Physics: pretty much the same as the above. choose your questions wisely and only do the minimum. make sure you do each part of each question as they are not numbered it is easy to miss one. i did last year. so i'd advise numbering each question on the paper and then put a X beside it when you do it.

LC2010HIS

IMO:

History: Hitler Foreign Policy, Anti Semitism by Hitler, Growth of Fascism in Europe, Causes and consequences of Easter rising 1916, Impact of WW2 on the city of belfast Coleraine Contraversy


***Hitler and Mussolinis relationship maybe?

English: theme or issue, cul context, frost, boland

Biology: Respiration, DNA experiment, enzymes, osmosis exper

Where can I find this? I typed in Nina Noble online in google, but nevertheless, I didn't really find what I was looking for

The only way one can be sure to succeed in English poetry is to simply prepare the 5 poets you enjoy the most. That's the only way you can be guaranteed at least 1 that you've prepared will come up. Viva la revolution! :pac:

seriouslysweet

Examvillage, sorry am a twit for leaving that part out. Did a few worthwhile lessons there myself. Freebies are always good though!

any tips for home ec..dont know where to start,prob the only subject,i havent a clue ..:(

Learning the female poets would be handy, one of them has to come up.

Why does one of them have to come up?

J_E

Why are people putting so much on 2-3 poets? Just learn the 5/6.

xclw

I think Boland will come up but the question is going to be horrible.
Wordsworth hasn't come up before and as far as i know Hopkins is new to the course. then after that i'd choose dickinson and frost. but really its easy enough to learn 5 poets, you can even have your 5th one as a real back up and just learn a few quotes.

also just learn two out of theme/issue, vision & viewpoint and cultural context.

know a good few hamlet quotes, hamlet is what you should be most worried about, is you know the character of hamlet inside out you should be able to cover a question on him but i can't promise you!

xclw

also my business teacher was at some meeting where they discuss the papers and he said he thinks that the last unit all the EU stuff will feature heavily cos every year its the one unit people leave out, the questions on it are meant to be a bit easier too.

Should of really said according to my teacher one of them has to come up..
From what I believe, it would cause up-roar if at least one didnt.
I could be totally wrong.

Well you're teacher is wrong. Yeah it would cause up roar but that doesn't mean one has to come up. Only thing i'm sure of is that four poets will come up!

Defo in English at least two of those will come up! I know its stupid to make predictions after what happened last year but at the same time they don;t repeat the exact same stuff every year so those poets are the best four to concentrate on in my opinion!

Because some people don't have the time to and I personally would get too God damn confused if I had to cram 5/6 poets in the next month! Of course it's the ideal thing to learn at least 5 poets but there's a difference between that which is the ideal thing to do and that which is more realistic!

No, it's the difference between being lazy and being intelligent/active.

Maybe_Memories

For Applied Maths I predict...

Q1 - Q3 are usually pretty generic.

Q4 will probably be a pulley question and then a pulley with multiple masses.

Q5 will be fairly standard. Always is.

Q6 For this I imagine a mass/spring system, vertical circular motion question

Q7 I see this being a simple rod/ladder against a wall, considering what they threw up the last two years.

Q8 Probably a rod question.

Q9 Possibly the type with weighing a mass in one substance and calculating it's weight in another substance of given density, or a u-tube.

Q10 - Generic.


Then again, I could be completely wrong

Not necessarily lazy, in fairness. In my case, I'm just a terrible procrastinator, and I panic a lot, so I'm gonna pick 3 poets and go with them. That says nothing about my intelligence.

And, realistically, how many people do you know actually studied 5/6 poets?? I know none. And I'm certain that the vast majority of my friends won't study all 5 we covered in class.

Rant over.

Agreed.

I knew 1 poet very well, and had a good knowledge of 2 others. I was lucky and got 2 poets I knew.

I just found learning english difficult.

I was hardly lazy considering I did 40 years of exam papers in Applied Maths and got 99% in the LC...

:eek: Fair play!!

However, I have to thank Gumbi for one thing...I have another motivating reason to get 500 points, and come back in August and show him how lazy and unintelligent I am then:P

Cheers!
