Thanks for narrowing it down so much....you may as well have posted a link to the syllabus :P

No, you have an option of doing either. Most do the Cold War (cuban missile crisis, korean war, berlin blockade).

Troxck wrote: »

Yeah, but you ALWAYS get the option of a cold war question with it. There is no point in doing both.

puttuporshutup wrote: »

Learn most of them, if you must narrow it down..leave out the ones that came up last year.

Yes, you do.

Shut up I'm just trying ta help but looking at past exam papers anything that could come up is there. And no you don't really need to know the first year part because if you know Irish and European History well enough you won need first year part except for 1 or 2 short questions. Stop being a smart alec.

1st year could come up in the following sections:

Picture Question
Documents Question
People in History
Q6 (A)


It's your choice if you believe there is no need to learn it.

94% mocks studying these topics and terms from 1st year history


If you know all about 6(c) and (d) you won't need to know 6(a) at all ... I would learn all 2nd year topics for Sources question


1st Year Topics --- Pictures, Documents and Short Question (I just learn the key terms)
2nd Year Topics --- Sources and Short Questions
3rd Year Topics --- 6 (c) and (d) and Short Questions


And then obviously about 12-15 people in history questions
At least 5 learnt very well


Honestly I think this is enough

You don't have to know that much for History because there is so much choice.I got an A in the pres and I went in with only 6 accounts learned off covering irish History,people in history and industrials relations.

EoghanIRL

hey guys. I was just wondering what People in histories you are focusing on.
The ones i know are :
Leonardo Da vinci
Magellan
Martin Luther
An archaeologist
A leader (revolution)
cold war or leader involved in peace.
Farmer during agricultural revolution.
a person living in the stone ages

My teacher said that an archaeologist is very likely to come up and so is the reformation or explorers. What do you guys think? Also have i covered enough people in histories?
