Predictions on Yeats' Question 2015 (1 Viewer)

[lucyyl]

Friend seems very certain that we'll receive a prescribed poem and an extract, any thoughts?

 

[tmaccalk]

I would've thought we wouldn't be specified a poem, because they specified one last year and an extract?

 

[tmaccalk]

The pattern has been...

2014- specified
2013- unspecified
2012- specified
2011- specified
2010- unspecified
2009- unspecified

 

[lucydwyer]

so really there's no way of predicting if they're going to prescribe

 

[TQuadded]

The pattern has been...

2014- specified
2013- unspecified
2012- specified
2011- specified
2010- unspecified
2009- unspecified

Although it should be a 50% chance, it looks like the pattern leans slightly towards 'unspecified' this year.

If it's specified, what do you guys think they'll choose???

 

[lucydwyer]

if its going to follow the pattern, leans toward unprescribed

now regarding what poem they may prescribe if we lose the 50% odds, since 2011 they have prescribed:
wild swans at coole
second coming
when you are old

which leans toward the options most likely being:
Easter 1916
Leda and the Swan

i left out irish airman cause they did it for the CSSA trials so its unlikely BOSTES would be that kind to us

they won’t give us leda and the swan because you can’t do anything with that, and this time the swan would be raping us. so therefore i put my odds on easter 1916 if they prescribe!
