[Claire5858]

Are you putting anything up on french? Tis tomorrow :s

[mikeydublin]

same 5 as tipped last year?! confident :P

[LeavingCertificate]

@mikeydublin

haha smart man...

No, not at all. As I said in the video, the "Stair na Gaeilge" section has been very peculiar, and fro that reason is next to impossible to call.... Just look at the similarity between the '08 and '09 papers... They are word for word the same! However 2010 gave us some topics that we'd never seen before. 2011 is VERY hard to call...

[SH3RIFF187]

You got English perfect, counting on you boyo!

[meadhbhd93]

[UxxxSukk]

[boo7ish]

Ledgebag :)

[iPuzzleMyself]

Yeah but the Irish course is not changing as drastically as the maths course. Project maths is a brand new course.

Irish, as far as I'm aware, is only the same course, just without Stair na gaeilge?

I know they are changing the poems and prose, but surely they have did this before? Just like english?

[MeeMee22221]

I know you'll read this and say "How on earth should I know!?" BUT.. :D They made the Maths paper impossible because they're changing the course next year.It's the same for the Irish course.Do you think the same will happen Irish or is it just coincidence it was a harder paper?Just your opinion. :) Thanks for all the effort you put into these!You're practically a God in our school.. "Well,Eoin said ___ so that's all I'm learning. " :D

[LeavingCertificate]

@MeeMee22221

Good holy Christ!!! -pressure!

I'd better get the bloody things right so! :/

Btw... whoever told u that was right!

They *always* do that. When the course is changing, the last paper of the old course is usually a bit of a bitch. It's a time honoured tradition... done so that everyone will be like "Wow, thois new coure is so much nicer than last year's paper" Unfortunately for Irish and Maths this year.. ye poor fuckers are the fall guys who will get burned by that tactic...

[MeeMee22221]

@LeavingCertificate Hah,great.So we shouldn't really go by predictions?Could they throw up anything?

[geard93]

Where is the list you said that you would put up for Stair Na Gaeilge???

[LeavingCertificate]

@geard93

...At the end I list some 'Stair na Gaeilge' topics ...around 5 topics or so.

They're my tips

[geard93]

[Darren28692]

[mickiemc100]

[TommyMcG80]

fwasiv a yo-had-sa haha

[cowloverification]

Very good

[daman2553]

Do you plan on doing ordinary Irish at a later time?

[LeavingCertificate]

@daman2553

Sorry lads :(

Bad news. I don't have anything for (O)

Remember I'm absolutely shit at Irish. Only reason I have the (H) predictions done is I had to get to grips with that for my '30 subjects' stunt last year.

My only advice for (O) is concentrate on P1... that's the tough one.

Prepare the 'essay' questions.

The standard of Irish is so bad at LC level they THROW marks at P2, so if u know anything at all & make some kind of effort, they will shower you with marks...

[daman2553]

@LeavingCertificate

Fair enough, thanks

Heard ony 12 marks go for the subject in the essays

Good to know P2 is easy to get marks in, Just need a D3 to get into college, dont care bout points from it :D

[daman2553]

@LeavingCertificate

Fair enough, thanks

Heard ony 12 marks go for the subject in the essays anway so they shouldnt be too bad

Good to know P2 is easy to get marks in, Just need a D3 to get into college, dont care bout points from it :D

@LeavingCertificate Wish I'd seen your geography predictions before last night :/ Helped me out a good bit today but stayed up til 4am studying and up again at 7.30, ..lack of sleep didnt work in my favour at all. Thanks for the tips dou!

[EleanorBrigitte]

@LeavingCertificate @damn2553 I'd recommend just revising all the stuff you learned for your oral exam or Irish Paper One, learning simple words for the comprehension questions to pretend you actually are capable of manipulating Irish eg using ta instead of bionn when writing out an answer that is found in the text. Paper Two is only worth eighteen percent so realistically you don't even have to go in for it and still could pass. I did out a table of predictions which i lost, disgusted!
