Leaving Cert 2012 Predictions.

Namlub

Oh yeah, I meant business organisation >_>

Togepi

Is the character of Hamlet himself likely for English? I somehow only thought of that coming up the other day. *Facepalm*

Oh! Yeah, they do seem very fond of that. I took categories of industry to mean primary/secondary/tertiary, A1 here I come

You're correct in your definition of categories of industries. It is primary, secondary and tertiary.

What Namlub is referring to is the different types of business ownership.

Just to clear up misunderstandings which may throw people off.

What's the possibility of Rich coming up? I know she was on the paper last year but she died so they might have reprinted the papers n' stuff... right!? :pac:

They wouldn't reprint the papers, but if she was on one of the two prepared ones, they might choose the one she's on. Or all that might be done ages ago.

They made two? HUH? .... Why's that might I ask? :pac:

FaoiSin

They always make 2. Remember the year paper 2 leaked early and they had to use the other one? 2009 I think

Canard

They make two in case one leaks (as it did in 2009) but as far as I know they decide which is which in advance, hence why they had to spend a few days printing the new ones out. They'd hardly make thousands of both only for one to go to waste!

Beat ya to it Patchy :P barely :pac:

Ah, damn you! *shakes fist* :pac:

What are your thoughts on physics?
My teacher said capacitance is likely. Anything else I should know well (obviously apart from particle)?

What are your thoughts on the experiments? I hear pendulum is likely.

OL BUSINESS...............giving up of the HL. anyone any idea what will come in the OL business... tks

Stalin and rugby

Most likely experiments: Boyle's Law, fundamental frequency of a stretched string, resistivity, one of the specific heat ones, possibly equilibrium for coplanar forces (the metre stick one).

Boyle's law came up last year?

how many poets do you have to learn to be covered?

Statistically, you need 5 to guarantee 1 will be on the paper. Tbh, poetry is not at all difficult to learn. I went about learning Thomas Kinsella today, read over a sample essay with 4 poems, learnt the notes, took a question from a sample paper, went and did it- Done.

I only ever write about 3 poems however in an answer- sometimes I might throw in a 4th but if I don't have the time I stick with 3 and make sure I have a good strong final paragraph linking up everything i've mentioned in the essay with the question asked (purpose is nearly everything for English)

I was quite worried about only discussing 3 poems for an essay, but I handed up essays to my Teacher, namely: Rich, Heaney, Plath, Kinsella and Larkin and got the following grades in them:

• Adrienne Rich- A2
• Sylvia Plath- A2
• Seamus Heaney- A1
• Thomas Kinsella- A1
• Philip Larkin- A2

So it has worked out quite well for me!

any biology experiment predictions people? or home ec predictions?

5

I'm doing four on the premise that both Boland and Frost came up last year so it's extremely unlikely for them both to come up again so that leaves 7 poets (allowing for one to reappear) able to come up and having 4 done I should be safe.


Either. First one is 100% however

Biology- I'd say ethanol experiment. Maybe broadbeans too? Also enzymes.

My teacher is really betting on the IAA experiment coming up.

Also, to the guy that's only doing 3 poems per poet, that's risky. I've heard that one could get away with doing 4 poems, but even then I would do 5 just to be safe and 6 if I had the time.
How much are you writing for each poem?

nomnomnomnom

i thought the requirement was 4 poems

ChemHickey

nomnomnomnom wrote: »

I thought it was 5!

I wrote about 2 main ones and 2 as a half in my mocks and i still did well, even though the examiner said we needed 6!!

Nitsuj

I screwed up in poetry big time in the mocks, getting 24/60. I only wrote three poems on Plath. It was the only thing I didn't study. Still got a b3 though.

It was a bad answer overall, but I'm taking no risks this time round. Also, my teacher says that if you're going to do Plath, you should do an answer including Elm.

RedTexan

Rich came up last in 2009, so she is a reasonably possibility, however personally I believe more than likely either Larkin or Plath will feature, if not both.

Anyone have any predictions for Irish higher level? Especially an trial and the aisti?

It's the first year of the new course. It's impossible to predict.

Yes I suppose your right but in terms of the aistí I'm sure sports and something got to do with the Olympics could appear on paper 1

I like elm, but I prefer not writing on it. I've 9 of the 10 Plath poems studied by now! (Didn't do finisterre) I'm more likely to leave out elm pheasant and maybe mirror. Even though i love them all!
