look through the papers and you'll see that in the last 5 years there has always been a question on one of:

Dict. & Democ: Propaganda, Stalin, Mussolini, German Economy

Irish Sovereignty and Partition: The Anglo-Irish Treaty, Eucharistic Congress, Rise of Sinn Fein, Promotion of Irish Culture and N.Ireland during WW2

study those and you're highly unlikely to get caught out

I feel your pain!

Study the case studies, they almost always come up in some way. If you're doing sov & partition you can almost get away with the two governments' policies on anglo-irish relations and the economy and establishing law and order, plus the case studies/unionist party in power (i actually have no idea about that because we never did it in class...but it comes up loads according to my revision book!). because the eucharistic congress is a case study and is happening in ireland in 2012 i guess it could come up. im gonna study it anyway

my other irish history book is the northern ireland one - sunningdale comes up all the time with the angloirish agreement and downing street declaration. also study the welfare state and all of brookeborough/oneill - theres another case study in there. should be fine then!

NICRA is easy enough too and has come up in the past.

for dictatorship and democracy i'd say hitler might come up...2010 was stalin and 2011 was the exact same question but on mussolini!
warfare tech came up in 2006 and 2009 so it could be due up again but pretty much everyone seems to skip that.

Irish sovereignty and partition if you study the cumann na ngaedhael and Fianna fail governments policies you should be ok. I think maybe a contrast between their economic policies. For 1870 to 1912 if you study parnell you should be ok.

Looking at the pattern I'd say for the Parnell book (sorry too lazy to write the name) that The Land Q might come up and the GAA with the Gaelic League or on its own. Don't bother with the strike and lockout it only comes up every two years or so.

For Sovereignty and Partition I'd say the treaty Q (fingers crossed) and more than likely the Eucharistic Congress. CnG and FF always come up. I avoid them like the plague though- so boring.

European History- I'm caught here since all three leaders came up last year but I'm going with a propaganda Q, leaning towards Nuremburg rallies. Oh and the warfare technology (I love that chapter!).

Hope that helped!

I second the Eucharistic Congress.
And Hitler's Foreign Policy is one to look out for. Never been asked I think, and Hitler's due to come up in some form this year.

Every year people look at Hitlers foreign policy and think that is bound to come up so I wouldn't put a single egg in that basket.

For Dictators, Learn Hitler (including foreign policy) and Mussolini. Seeing as you are low on time this should genuinely see you safe. Alternatively you could learn the three case studies since you are guaranteed a question which includes or directly relates to a case study in each section. Ignore WW2 completely, this has come up once in the papers.

For Documents, you could easily learn the three in one/two nights. Theres not a lot to be covered and the Essay is worth 40 marks in the Documents. If you get out of the document with 85/90 then you will be motoring. This isn't overly difficult as most get 55+ in the first questions in the document.

For Ireland, Cumann na nGaedheal and Devs Fianna Fail aren't that difficult and you should get a question out of it.

This year is the 80th anniversary of the 1932 Eucharistic Congress, and I think there's another one being held in Ireland this year. I would really imagine that this could come up in the exam due to that.

The Cumann na Gaedhael government actually organised everything for it, but because Fianna Fail had just recently came to power, they got all the credit :pac:
