I think Horatio is too minor to come up on his own. Did he ever come up before?
Also, what about the role of women overall in Hamlet?
And of course, deception

I know Laertes came up in the Pre last year so he could like!
Deception- Could you not morph Appearance VS. Reality for that one? That's what I did for the Mock anyway!Do you mean like learn off by heart the full 4/5 page essays?
Oh, I'd probably replace Ophelia and Gertrude with women in general. I'd include Hamlet's appeal to the modern audience and also "The character of Hamlet changes from reflective to active. Discuss".
Well maybe bits and pieces, not full essays though. Ok, I could do the Women in one general answer and then just bulk it up if it came to it, Hamlet's appeal as in the character itself or the actual play? The one about Hamlet's change could be incoporated in his Character could it?0 -

Lads, how do you make yourself study? I really need to start doing a few hours every day now if I'm to have any hope of reaching my targets. I'm aiming for four a day during the week and six a day on weekends but so far I've managed two hours a couple of days last week and zero hours so far this weekend.
I'm trying to get into a good routine it's just so easy to continue with my bad habits of being lazy all the time!
Any advice? It's not about getting the course for me, I just want to get the best grades I can get.0 -

I'm the exact same! I'm just so tired all of the time.0 -

Yeah I need to know how to do this too. I've been looking up new phones for the last 2 hours, when I don't even need one. (mmm Samsung Galaxy S2)0 -

I'm the same as Togepi, my course is only 340 but I want to get around 420. My mocks however were woeful, I got around 300 overall, I have lots of work to do
CHEMISTRY STUDENTS: In question one can they only ask you Redox or acid-base titrations or are there other titrations on the course that they can ask?0 -
I'm almost in exactly the same boat as you. My course is 390, so I'm aiming at 420+ in the Leaving to be safe. Even though I haven't all the mocks back yet, I'm expecting to end up with 300-350Coeurdepirate wrote: »

I haven't gotten all of mine back either! I have 5 of them back and I failed one, I've 200 points so far. Still have to get English and Business back, so I should get just a little over 300. I got a D1 in HL Irish So pissed off 0 -

My course was 380 last year, I just kind of want to get one or two hundred more than that - at least 500 anyway. I could actually do it if I studied properly for the whole year but at this stage me getting 500 points or more is looking very unlikely. Once all my mocks are back I'll probably have about 380. (I wouldn't even mind that so much but I did better than that in last year's mocks!) 0

Going on last years points I'd need 420, I got 435/440 depending on what my Irish teacher marks the oral out of (she has a bit of a weird system going on!) To be safe I'd need 450, but I kind of want around the 470 mark for my own personal thingy I'd be delighted with 450 though!
Coeur judging by the table in the exam papers that's what they seem to ask on question 1. Not too sure if it's exclusive or not!0 -

Well I personally wouldn't rule him out, Ruairi Quinn has been going on all year about making the leaving cert less predictable. They also like combining Hamlet and Claudius but obviously it is up to you.
I got 525 in the mocks but I need 585 to be sure of my course so a lot of work is required!0 -
Yeah I suppose he'd be worth a look through anyway! I can't mess up with English especially, it's one that I need an A in! And I think my Teacher would be disgusted if I fell from an A2 in the Mock to a B in the Leaving. Although this could easily happen!Well I personally wouldn't rule him out, Ruairi Quinn has been going on all year about making the leaving cert less predictable.

Your course is only 450 I thought? I don't see why anyone would really put themselves under extra pressure to get way more than they actually need? 0 -

I'm going for way more points than I need on the off-chance that I change my mind before the age of 23 and want to do something with higher points. I'm fairly indecisive, so that could easily happen.0 -
It is 450 but if I get 500 I get a Scholarship for NUIM. And to be totally honest, I want to get over 500 just to know I did! I probably sound ridiculously pretentious or whatever, but i'd just love to get 540+.Your course is only 450 I thought?

Like i've got into a steady study pattern for the last 2 years, so there's no point in breaking it the last 3 months just because I got 60 points over what I need in the Mocks. It's only less than 3 months, I just wanna keep going so I know i've achieved everything I could and not regret getting lazy the last 2 months because of solid mock results and end up getting 500 or something less than the actual mocks. I think that'd just be a kick in the teeth tbh!0 -
