Junior Cert 2011: Predictions Thread

ScummyMan

Right, so theres a few threads lying around now asking for predictions, so i thought it would be a good idea to put them all in one place.
So if your teacher has made an educated guess, or even if your uncle's nephew's second cousin's son in law told you someting, let us know here! :pac:

Ill set the ball rolling:

HISTORY:
Cold war has never not come up two years in a row in Q6, and it wasnt asked last year. Very likely to appear.

Feel free to add your own!

I cant remember any of the ending of Lord of the Flies. I know the opening really well, so hopefully that might come up:)

You studied Lord of the Flies, lucky...it's meant to be amazing, I have it on my to-read list for summer. Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry is just dull for the most part.

I think my teacher may have said something about studying the opening scene, as the closing scene came up last year. Or maybe it's the other way around. I'd rather a character or relationship or theme question to come up tbh. Hate Fiction, it was my best section in the mocks though, but I think that was because I'd already read the book that the unseen bit was from. Maybe if I actually liked my novel, sigh.

Well, if it's CSPE, it will only be a picture of him or something.

For CSPE don't bank on the Queen and Obama being on it, mainly because the Queen was on last year and the exam papers were written before those visits were announced, however probably after the election so you'll need to know you high ranking Ministers. (Vradkar, Burton, Bruton, Noonan, Gilmore and Kenny would be the main ones, google image search them.)

The paper was set when Fianna Fáil were still in government.

I didnt like it that much when we were reading it, probably due to the fact we went ridiculously slow and my class is full of idiots/and or messers. It was a bit unrelatable, its about 10 or 12 year old boys on an island, and yeah i'm a 16 year old girl who's never even climbed a tree!
But it was really interesting and really well written, the psychology and symbolism and stuff behind it is kind of amazing, and my teacher said when it was written it was shocking to even consider children as being evil.
Its a good read

Papers are normally prepared in November and Published in January so expect something like buildings or worldwide presidents/prime ministers etc

do you guys think social change wiLL defo come up???
what do ye think will COME up on A in question 6 in hl history??! i am thinking either middle ages, ancient civil. or explorations! i am screwed if social change doesnt come up cus i am not studying world wars or irish history!

Desire.

Yeah, I'd say it will. It's been over five or six years since it didn't come up on question 6. I'm also not going to bother with Irish History, I got an A in the Pre and we hadn't covered any of it then.

shadowninty

I'd be surprised if social change didn't come up

Ill study WWII and Irish Independence and fall back on social change if necessary

Emer95x

Yeah im freaking out about the junior cert. I go to an irish school so its harder.

Im screwed for science thats the one that is tottaly unpredictable. Not looking forward to english eithur!

so really any help i can get here is seriously apreciated:) ___Emer ___

English~
Teacher hinted that a relationships question was likely to come up in the studied fiction section.

I'm not sure, but are the same questions allowed to come up two years in a row for the studied part of English? That would rule out a lot of possibilities.

Anything is allowed, but, generally, they don't.

*Maths* : Theorem on line divides sides of the triangle in the same ratio. Very unlikely that Pythagoras will come up this year!

DOOOONT worry! french formal letter will NOT COME UP ! it may as a choice but in all the years of the junior cert it has never come up on its own and it never will! a informal letter comes up every year! i would spend my time looking at that than worrying about formal letter!

Thankfully I do German, which means an informal letter and a note. None of that postcard and formal letter crap!
