Leaving Cert 2012 Predictions.

ChemHickey

So, I wonder if anyone else is wondering what will be due up for us in our Leaving cert and so I thought it'd be good to have a thread to start nudge people in the right direction to study...

Its never to early to start preparing for the exams! :L And to all those who say predictions are wrong and you cannot guarantee on them... I thnk that people shouldn't base all there study on the predictions but just so they know that they may be likely to know at least some topics really well if they do come up....

So Here we Gooooooo....

In accounting, I think that these topics are due up.

Q1) Final accounts (not sure what type, we dont do them in our school)
Q2/3/4 ) Published/CashFlow/Depreciation
Q5/6/7 ) Ratios/Suspense/Farm
Q8) Costing ( we dont do that in our school)
Q9) Cash Budget (where purchases aren't given and you have to find them by using the formula as my teacher says : Opening stock + purchases - closing stock = C.O.G.S)

My teacher is going to this accounting man in Dublin this week who is known to predict papers down to a t so I'll update on that later..

Any other predictions welcome!

i think debenture holders tbh:)

ya hopefully, did you look at the one that came up last year it was neither debentures or shareholders, it was bank manger i think?
And any chance does any1 do construction studies, any predications on questions or drawings that might come up?

ChemHickey

For accounting, what's the budgeting pro-forma method? Is it the mixed budget (eg - both production and cash budget one) or is it with discount or what?

I still think that Farm 100 will appear!!!

And not reval! I wish though! I know depreciation came up last time, but if you look back, reval came up around 5/6 times where depr came up only 3/4 times!#

its in the papers, 2002 and 2000 where they have to keep a minimum balance you know.

And I have a serious serious feeling about Farm A/C 100 marker i dont know why it wasnt in my prediction lol.

Reval would be nice, but I dont mind depreciation tbh

I would be revising every single topic on last years paper too. I think theyll be 1 q from last years paper

Yeap. But it didnt bother me tbh I just wrote under all the other headings. THe control a/c and incomplete caught me.

ChemHickey

Oh thanks!!! My teacher calls that the "Easy" method!!!

Ya i hope farm comes up, its the easiest of the 3...

We havent done depreciation yet... but my teacher thinks there will be published, suspense on as well.

I think that incomplete might pop up as a hundred this year.... but, in saying that, I've said practically everything ill come up as a hundred this year!!

Yes... and to clarify on ratio question.... what does the question b imply... my teacher doesn't think anyone in our class except those who dont understand one of the 100 markers should attempt it so she just rushed through it? Do specific ratios apply for specific people, debenture holders etc??? We just do all the ratios for every question b..

P.s... I am hoping flexible budgeting comes up!

Alright. Really good chance of suspense coming up (unfortunatley) comes up like even second year.

I done just all the ratios as per usual. You'll get 40/45 at least doing that

Incomplete good chance as I imagine it was poorly answered last year. We seem to be focusing on published this year it came up twice before.

I dont see flexible unless is mixed with q8. The days of a flexible full 80 are gone unfortunately.

ChemHickey

Ya? Well, thats good enough for ratios if i learn them all!

We havent done published or suspense either.... Hard>? (Btw, we dont do Q1 or 8 so we have barely no choice)

I've heard suspense is the hardest question on the paper? But is it just like control accounts??

I wish flexible would still be there, just for fun! Its the easiest.. they could have it mixed with some break even etc in Q9 ( but if that happens we'd be screwed not doing Q8 at all!)..

Or else with reams of theory?

Its grand not doing q1. But not doing q8 is disgraceful. What if something new i added like in 09 in budgeting?. Id advice you to cover job costing on your own. Its easy really. If your good at control you'll be good at suspense. I'm only ok at suspense and will try and avoid it but i still have to cover it. Break even would occur in q8 not q9. Your teacher really should not be picking and choosing. For the theory it will be on every question. It depends on what grade you want if you want an A1 learn all the theory.

ChemHickey

Ya? Job costing? My teacher siad that costing is way more difficult than budgeting, thats why we're doing it! :L :L I liked control last year... but now I forgot it all!! :L I need to revise everything for the mocks but it ahs come up in the past two years soits extremely unlikely control will pop up again!

The theory is a pain but I must learn it!! Accounting seems so much more effort than physics would have been!! :L

I would nearly guarantee the job costing. And what your teacher is saying is complete rubbish. All 80's are easy. Marginal costing is a lot easier than a production budget! I wouldnt worry about control. The theory is a pain. But for published youve no choice really.

Accounting takes up a lot of time but has one of the highest percentage of A's. There is a 1/5 chance you get an A. In business its 1/50 :L

ChemHickey

Ya? Well, hopefully i'll be lucky enough to get an A1 in acounting!! I am hoping to anyway!! Ya, some of the budgetting questions can be easy.. but then... there are some awful ones!!

I'm so happy tab isnt (shouldnt be) up! I hated it!

mcpaddington

I think it could be Plath this year, there is some 50th anniversary for her poems or something this year so ya never know.

Canard

We're not doing Kinsella, but I'm just wondering why everyone seems so sure he's coming up? Could be another Boland 2010 situation :P

Kinsella is back on the course after being off it for more than ten years, so a lot of people seem to think he will come up. Personally I'm hoping for Plath

And she's not on it for next 2 years so its as strong possibility.

Olympics and/or Euro 2012 could be on for comprehensions or essays, for all languages

silversky

For history I think the Eucharistic Congress could come up and for English definitely Plath or Heaney. Also a speech might come up regarding the president in the composing section.

Canard

Yeah, I second the EC in history. In Geography I think the development of an urban region in a C/SC region is coming up (it was ireland/europe the last two years my teacher said). Irish my teacher says for the essay it could probably be the olympics/president (election/role)/the state of irish/poverty. No idea for anything else though

silversky

Yeah Michael. D. Higgin's will definitely come up in Irish in some form being an Irish speaker and of course the newly elected president.

The rest of history will be hard enough to predict since Stalin, Mussolini and Hitler came up in last year's paper.

Good prediction for accounting, I think tab/published. But flexible will not be a full 80. Cash budgeting 2009 more likely. As for business. One of tax/ insurance in the abq. And a cash flow forecast is long overdue/ratios.

On one hand it sort of looks like, in tradition of not repeating things straight away, they'd put something weird on like anglo-american popular culture but on the other hand, the dictators cant really be left out and theyre trying to break their trends. in 06 and 09 war tech + vichy france came up so it'd make sense for it to come up in 12, but no one studies them. :pac:

Coeurdepirate

Everyone stop recommending Plath. Remember the Boland fiasco of 2009? The SEC are on to us now about Plath.

My predictions are to learn all the other 7 poets cause Plath definitely won't come up!

pio94

apparently on french every 2 years the comprehension is hard so taking that 2011 was the easy one 2012 aint looking that good :P

lainey108

they generally have a female poet every year as well as an irish poet, and there is only 3 females on the course, rich,plath and boland, boland came last year so i cant see them having her again? also irish poets usually come up too..personally i hope its plath!

anyone doing german?? my teacher reckons something on technology will come up

katierab

Downing wrote: »

Ya I agree and possibly Kavanagh!!At least I hope

My history teacher reckons Collins could come up for HL history as he has never been asked. Any other history prediction?

Juju Lulu

Sure if everyone studies Plath it will be marked harder if theres such a percentage of students doing her
