You have them handwritten then? I might just write them out quickly and draw simple diagrams starting Saturday Morning and try and do it that way then. How class would it be to actually get the A1? I know it's possible and all the rests but it'd be so nice to get it after all the years work we've put into Geography.I'm just learning off a sample essay and going in with that, should be fine worked in the mock. I'd also love the GV&V can be bright or dark or a mixture of brightness and darkness, discuss. They year who got that one were so lucky :pac:
@David, I hope not :L I went way over the word count, but I definitely have max SRPs so the minimum I can get is 95
Still wrote 993 for the word count though 
@ PF What I do is just condense my answer into like one line for every SRP, and then learn off the essay that way
I'm pretty quick at learning them (well, at the library) so it only takes me like 10 minutes to learn one off!0 -

Well I just write them out once and learn them off, I don't think constantly writing them out helps me learn them and it takes up too much time tbh.
Well if I don't get an A1 in geo I'd be p*ssed! Saying that, I think I'd actually cry if I got an A1 in English :P
Writing seems to work for me :P The thing is English and Geography are the subjects I am looking for A1s but if I got an A2 in Irish I think I would cry tbh 0 -
I'd actually die of happiness with an A1 in English, it'd mean way more than in any other subject because its not one you can learn off; imo it really shows intelligence.
I've gotten A1s in all the stuff I've done lately e.g. 96-98 in short stories, 46-48 in comprehension A and Bs, 65 in comparative, 54 in Hamlet and 46+ in poetry, but I only got a B1 in my mock because I messed up my story's purpose and yeah
I'd also be disgusted if I got less than an A1 in French but lets not even think about that... :P0 -

I know I'd love an A in english I don't mind whether it's an A1/A2 an A's an A. Also I love English it's my favourite subject I really enjoy it . I'm really going to miss English next year .
I'd love a A/B in business as it's also going to part of my course next year so I need to know most of the stuff in it and I find it really interesting. I just hope I use the correct format for the verb. I might hand my teacher a mock to correct even though I used to book I'll know if I did the right format.
The rest I don't mind as along as I get a B1 in the other honours then at least a C3 in my ordinary subjects.0 -

Were those answers prepared or from class tests? All my prepared stuff is pretty much 'A' standard but I still have to learn some stuff! The only thing is I can never find time to practice English answers :P 0 -
We dont do tests :P We did one on unseen poetry and I got 20/20 but they hardly count :PWere those answers prepared or from class tests? All my prepared stuff is pretty much 'A' standard but I still have to learn some stuff! The only thing is I can never find time to practice English answers :P
So really you could say I prepared the answers I suppose, but I got 46/50 on my mock Larkin answer and 65/70 on my mock comparative answer Stories are a bit of a problem on the spot but sure...maybe I can fit one in :cool: I make time, I dont even need to but I love the subject to bits and love annoying my teacher with more work 0 -

I got 13/20 in the mock coz I'd no idea how much to writeI got 20/20 in mock unseen poetry and love English too! Its just when you have lots of other work to do, its hard to find time.However I probably dont focus as much on English as I know Im good at it!
English is the best Ahhh true, I just neglect history for my other 6 subjects, shameful but I hate it :P
My teacher is backing me for an A2/A1 so I feel confident and could easily become complacent, but its almost a sort of pressure that keeps me going when I get lazy 0 -

I see exactly what you mean and I'd have done that too, but my teacher said you had to talk about just the opening and closing scenes...maybe he misread it or maybe they wouldnt want just that in the LC, but the (a) and (b) barely requires any thinking I find :P
I did that question in my mock and I only really referred to the opening and closing, with a brief mention of how the plot helped to change the GV&V. It wasn't very long at all, I only wrote about 4 pages and I honestly thought I'd done really badly in it because there was so little to say. But when I got it back, I got nearly full marks on it and the examiner commented at the end saying it was "bang on" I can't remember offhand exactly how I laid it out. I could PM it to you if you wanted? (Not trying to be all "Oh look at me, I did it well," just if you wanted an example) 0 -
4 pages? :O I'd love to see it just to see how you managed to fit comparisons in, if you had time :P But no need to type it all up if its any trouble, its purely curiosity because I always do the a/b oneI did that question in my mock and I only really referred to the opening and closing, with a brief mention of how the plot helped to change the GV&V.

Your guaranteed at least 5 Questions to choose from.
Q.1- Always Unit 1
Q.2- Always Unit 6
Q.5- Always Unit 4
Q.6- Always Unit 5 + 4 Mixed
Q.7- Always Unit 5
And you only have to do 4 out of these 5.
YES MY PLAN TO DO VERY LITTLE FOR BUSINESS ACTUALLY WORKS! HALLELUJAH!0 -

Yes because you answered the question! Only the opening and closing was required. Some people went off on a tangent for 6 pages and lost many marks because the question was not answered. This is what I dislike about how some teachers approach English and answer length. Instead of teaching to answer a question, at times it seems that it is more important to satisfy a certain length.
So good job :pac:0 -

why do ye have graduations? ur degree graduation at 3rd level is far more important
I do think we should have graduations. I just don't think there should be so much time spent preparing for them a few weeks before the leaving. Yesterday I was given out to by a teacher for not singing in the choir (which I was forced into) and she said "SINGING FOR YOU GRADUATION IS SO SO IMPORTANT" and I was like "eh..alri.". My life no longer feels worth living because I didn't sing for her. 0 -

Ugh, I know. She was a religion teacher tho, and they all seem to hate me (something about not turning up to religion classes for the best part of two years :rolleyes:)
I am so excited for the results to come out. I just really want to open that envelope and see that I have enough points for my course. 0 -

The closer I get to the Leaving the less work I do. At the start of the year I was doing 4 hours a day (weekends off though... lolz.), got 465 in the mocks, and now I'm lucky to get 3 done. I do most of my study at school, but the closer the Leaving comes, the less I could be f*cked studying... ZzzzzzZzzzzzzzzzzzz. This is actually what I'm like most evenings after school

let's not have too much fun without her :P 
I always get Bs. No matter how much or how little study I do I get a B! Only A I ever got was in the JC which is strange because I didn't even get to finish the paper...
