Leaving Cert 2012 Predictions.

English :
If Plath comes up , I'll be shuffling in my centre , if she doesnt at least I got some tips how to handle my 'depression' .. if you know what I mean
Hamlet : It will be Hamlet / Role of women me thinks ?
80% sure one of the Q's will be on women
Comparative: Definitely GVV & Genre

Physics: God knows.
Hopefully heat & sound exp & Joules & Boyles maybe? so I heard anyways
Doppler effect , something on the electron with einstein explanation and photoelectric effect , something definitely will be on the light , maybe draw a diagram of the lenses , critical angle maybe , something to do with gravity will be on for sure etcetc

Geog: I regret doing geog now , could have done agr science and better off learning how to deal with cows and sheep -.-
Such a long course..

Biome : characteristics of soil , human interference with soil , and HOPEFULLY animals adaptations to the biome.
Physical : I actually don't know? hate physical geog but heard that something on rivers , earthquakes , and DEFINITELY rocks ( rock cycle , and that question that was on the DEB mock , the human interaction with rocks ) will be on.
Regional: looking at the exam papers and talking to my teacher ..
-draw a map of either Irish or European region
- Primary activities in either european or subcontinental ( might be even comparison)
- Secondary act in Irish or subcontinental ( again , maybe comparison)
- Tertiary act in all 3 diff regions ( again , maybe comparison)
Elective:
- don't think overpopulation will be on ;< which is the easiest of the elective ..
- maybe migration
- central place theory , and all the craic with the models and ****
I think they will give us while awkward questions this year as they are running out of questions .. the biome questions are getting more and more ****ed up every year so better pray.
and tbh .. LEARN THE WHOLE COURSE IF YE WANT AT LEAST A B .. cause they can throw anything at your face and you'll be surprised as never.

Biology: again .. learn the whole course and be familiar with everything .. they always try to fix as many subjects as possible .. although I'm not studying plants. **** that **** , worse of the all.
but yeah
- food
- ecology **
- genetics **
- human reproduction
- plants -.-
- photosynthesis / respiration **
- heart & blood *
- exp on enzymes
basically everything .. I did 2 mocks this year.. in the first one I got 40% and a month later 60% .. so I hope I'll move up to B1
THATS ALL HL BTW.

OL Maths ..
Paper 2 is a disaster.
but apparently as it's the first year of them giving us the profect paper it suppose to be easy .. god knows tho.

Good luck everyone! Don't stress cause it will affect your grades.
Try to relax .. if you know what I mean gluck!

Maybe you're saying this too, but what happens is if you said "Paris has a cool temperate oceanic climate which promotes the growth of crops such as grapes, but the Mezzogiorno's climate and Sirocco wind limit it to vines" - thats 2 + 2 marks. You'll see it on last year's marking scheme. But you wont get either mark if you cant contrast it with anything!

Well my essays are usually broken up into say transport and tourism for tertiary, so i would talk about tourism in paris, then talk about mezz and say how it's similar or different. then talk about transport.

I narrowed down my geography study. Opinions?

PHYSICAL:
-landform (waterfall and meanders/oxbow)
-interactions with rock cycle
-interactions with rivers
-karst
-plate tectonics
-short/long effects of earthquakes

REGIONAL:
-cultural
-all of paris basin + mezzogiorno (in case they ask for a comparison)
-primary and tertiary in brazil
-tertiary in bmw + gda (in case of comparison)
-eu expansion

HUMAN:
-historical and rural settlements
-overpopulation, changing migration, donor/receiver
-central place theory
-urban problems (dublin) (pollution an traffic congestion)

BIOME:
-adaptions (putting emphasis on this one)
-and will try and cover characteristics and human interactions of/with biomes.

Anything else I'm missing? I figure I'm well covered for physical, should be alright for human and regional. Regional is really tough to learn though.

Whats is the cultural? Like for what country?

They could ask for a specific region for culture.

Ugh, I dunno lol, so many possiblities.

hey just wondering about HOME EC, have lost my exam papers but i was just wondering what are the possibilities of milk/cheese or meat coming up this year? thanks

I'm going to take a minute to myself to look around if Plath doesn't come up. Reactions should be good :cool:

Nitsuj wrote: »

That's a good idea. What poets are you doing, anyway?
I think I should be alright with Plath, Heaney, Kinsella and Kavanagh or Rich. Right? RIGHT?!?

You should be more than alright.
Some people are only studying one poet.
Like me ..

Minimal! Milk was up last year! ALong with protein, which sort of rules out meat! Havent seen cheese as a long question but sure :rolleyes:

Well if thats the case then I'd be sorted:D

Total guess work my friend ^ but that seems to be what might make an appearance, stuff like TQM hasn't been up in a couple of years! My Teacher's one of the best ones EVER without doubt and that's what she's been saying anyway!

My English teacher told us that at a conference he was told that they just pick the poets out of a hat so it's dangerous to make predictions. He may just have been saying that to make us study all of the poets, but it seems logical that they should do that so I'm just going to study all the poets.

But an Irish poet and a woman has always come up. You think that's just a coincidence? Hopefully not.
