The DBQ is worth 100 marks and 60 of the 100 marks can be answered using the sources that they're given.

So although it might seem, I don't know, overwhelming or there's maybe words they don't understand or whatever the issue is, the answers are there.

They just have to look for them and find them.

And that's what I mean when I say the document is there to kind of help you get those marks.

So there are three options.

This is the only thing on the Leaving Cert History paper that I can actually tell you.

It's going to be A, B or C. So for this year, it's going to be either the 1885-1886 general elections, the GAA up to 1891 or the strike and lockout.

It is normal and natural that you will kind of prefer maybe one over the other.

But please, please, please do all three because you have no choice with the DBQ.

So if the one that you left out or didn't study appears, you're stuck.

So for the other 40%,

that's where you need the kind of other content.

So the way the DBQ is, question one, they're just four straight comprehension questions.

Don't spend too long on them.

Question two, you get two comparison questions.

So you have to compare both documents.

Everything you need to do that in the documents.

Question three is criticism.

So you have to be critical of the documents.

Again, everything you need to do that is there on the page for you.
