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!

You are being condescending though. I don't know what this Misogyny means really, I still got an A2 in my Mock.

I honestly achieved an A2 (85.5%) in my Mock and have never heard of this word. I don't know about other English teachers but mine certainly isn't, in fact we don't even have exam papers for English.

I'm not bitter in anyway, but please stop posting up your mock results. Every thread I go into you have them plastered up somewhere. Well done, we get it, you work hard- now get over it.

There's plenty of other people who got in A's in the English mock too.

Less of the snappy posts please silversky, there is no need to be condescending.

Condescending? There's plenty more people on this boards who are more condescending than myself. I've seen their comments in different threads belittling others.

I get your point with the snappy comments. Sorry for that.

Lets keep on track here and not get carried away with misogyny....

Area between curves more likely for Maths P1 (H) - Integration.
They also might put up another division integration question just to trick people again this year.
Also... Induction - either DeMoivre/Differentiation or Inequalities...

I think it's fair to say that maths is the only exam where there is no point in speculating what's coming up.

It's like the examiners can tell what you don't know. Learn it all

I was just wondering why people bother predicting for Maths.

Paper I will have algebra, complex numbers, maybe some matrices, then sequences and series, a mixed question, differentiation and integration. I mean, it's not going to change. Trying to predict exactly what will be asked in each section is pointless. You need to be good at Maths, not good at predicting and learning off the exact question that comes up without understanding any of it! :rolleyes:

The U-Value oh and a drawing question :L

Besides the obvious though, things like insulation and foundations come up most years dont they?

So I think it will be safe enough to concentrate on the drawings (can be used in Q.1 and also in other Qs), the U-Value which is very easy if you are in any way decent at maths, insulation, foundations and then a couple of other areas you are most comfortable in.
I know this is more of advice than predictions but I think if you go with that you'll be more than fine.

ye u-value and two drawings come up every year so then really you only have to answer to other questions. I have a feeling something about wheelchair access will come up. They some to like asking that in the last few years. Ye theres usually something about foundations and insulation too. I think theres neatly always a question on passive housing aswell, could be wrong though! how you fixed for the day exam? Oh and hows your project coming along?

Anyone got any ideas for Physics?

Judging off both mock papers, and what came up last year, so far I'm thinking (under spoilers because of mocks!):

Section A: fundamental frequency of a stretched string, specific latent heat, one of the mechanics ones. almost definitely not boyle's law or monochromatic light.
Section B: the Q11 STS looks like it might be nuclear physics. also a full question on optics.

Anybody got anything else?

Edit: uh oh, are we still meant to keep mocks details under spoilers? I'll go back and change it if we are...?

As far as I know there are still some schools completing theirs so for now, spoilering them would be great

In the next week or 2 ye should be able to talk about them as much as ye like!

For History I now say 1950s Economic and Social policies in Ireland will come up Came up in 2010, 2008 and 2006 :P I'm rooting for it so! It seems like an obviously pattern!

I don't think De Valera will come up :P Three years in a row! Yikes! But you never know 2011 people were probably saying the same except 2 years in a row! I also really really doubt Michael Collins will come up! I know he's never came up but in every exam they're nasty in one way or another so I think either de Valera is on it or Michael Collins isn't!

Just warning :P Don't rely completely on predictions no matter how tempting they are :O Case studies came up every year in every question in History except last year :P People who thought of only needing case studies was screwed I'd imagine :O

I did history for the leaving cert last year, it's a very tough course to predict. For the documents question (Q1) last year everyone in the country, even top state examiners were saying that coleraine was guaranteed so thats what i focused on and in the end all the predictions were wrong and the apprentice boys came up on the paper.

You need to be careful with history because even if a topic came up the year before there's no saying the same topic won't come up the next year but asked in a different way

Just wondering, how do people make document predictions?

Everyone is saying India is up this year, but its never been examined so what are they going on?

Day exam - damn well sorted, since 3rd year! :P I got 130/150 in my mock day exam so I'm ok for that I think.

Project - brief nearly done, project itself is nowhere near done. I'm making a writing desk with curved sides and I've so much to do still!

I never bothered with the document last year. Did a bit of study for every other question, but I didn't waste any time on the document. It's a good thing I didn't because whichever one was 'guaranteed' to come up didn't. My essay was terrible, but I still got 60/60 for the main part.

In other words, I have no idea how they predict what's coming up, but my advice is not to spend too much time on the document. Work on it only when you're sorted for everything else.

It's only 40 marks you're studying for at the end of the day.

Have a feeling that Reagen will come up in history and also the affluent society ! As for the document I hope its France seeing that Le Pen's daughter is running for president that could increase that chance !

In our school everyone traditionally is making furniture. Downside is that the examiners are kinda bored of it, the upside is we are prepared pretty well for the day exam!
I THINK deadline is 27th April but I stand to correction on that.

Ye I think it is April sometime! Better get a move on:o ye our teacher is an examiner and she said they mark furniture harder because so many people opt for it, but hey if it's good I'm sure you'll do well! At the end of the day the project itself is only worth 10 marks!

PLEASE SOMEBODY PLEASE HAVE SOME PREIDCTOINS FOR HOME-EC TE COURSE IS SO BROAD ITS IMPOSSIBLE!!! ;(

Get your hands on both mocks DEB & Examcraft plus Irish indo exam brief supplement and learn each topic to start with! Usually a few questions from all three will come up!
From my memory:
Q1. Fish+ lipids, yoghurt+calcium
Q2. Additives, Sensory Anaysis
Q3. Microbiology, ?
Q4. FRM, Appliances
Q5. The family (on both)

Don't know what elective you are doing? However social studies education has come up every year bar one!

Exam brief: fruit&veg, special diet (Coeliac), Frm, marriage
I am sure your teacher will also tell you to learn topics which have yet to be asked e.g eggs (although they were assignment 5 in journal) but still learn off by heart!
Short questions are impossible to predict however q8-12 are always from resource management section and FIS/government benefits comes up a lot as does textiles!
Ps the above is for HL only!

My teacher thinks Geibheann will come up along with Colscaradh. I got 55% just the papers but with my pre oral added in I got 61%.. I didn't write much for the pros or filiocht I just wrote a lot for paper one.

My teacher said with the Document based Q they've always picked the political option in the past and India is the political option this time round? I think Katanga is economic and French Race Relations is the social? That's what the predictions are based on anyways!

Oh makes sense

But Sunningdale was due up last year and they threw on the apprentice boys which is social I think
