    We do examcraft mocks and teacher gave us the DEB sample mock, and i'm pretty sure the same is the same as the real one.

    SQ's-
    3 features of a partnership, conciliation and arbitration, form p45 and p60, benefits of EDI, match up box(easy), intrapeneurship, indigenous firm and benefits, insurance calculation.

    ABQ-
    TQM, Marketing mix, sources of finance.

    and cant be bothered doing the long questions :L


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 341 ✭✭BL1993


    Which one is the DEB mock paper?

    Also anyone know whats on the DEB english papers?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,989 ✭✭✭PictureFrame


    So this thread is kinda dead, so how many of ye have actually done your mocks?. What were they like in terms of difficulty, (not looking for hints or anything Mods just general discussion like! ;)

    Were they as hard/easier than you thought etc?


  • Registered Users Posts: 635 ✭✭✭EmptyWithMe

    Yup.
    No idea, she won't tell. :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 32 mobile1541


    i would definetly agree with this as i am also repeating! :/ da mocks dont count for anything! learning all the spoilers and at the end of the day you come out with brill results but no actual idea of what you may get in august with your results.. and end up not getting the course you want for your own stupid mistakes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,298 ✭✭✭Namlub


    Found out all of ours are DEB, whatever that means

    Oh yeah I know, just meant that I don't know whether that's any better or worse than Examcraft or whatever :o


  • Registered Users Posts: 210 ✭✭doyler101


    it's up to yourself whether or not to look at spoilers. . i know we shouldn't but it's hard sometimes not to be tempted.

    English Examcraft
    Plath is on. don't know the question but seriously it should be enough of a spoiler

    I'm down to do every single subject I'm taking as a higher mock. The word, 'screwed' applies here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,572 ✭✭✭Canard


    Sure its not that hard :P Just study enough for them! Maths/Irish are the only HL ones to worry about unless you do history like me :o

    Makes no difference, they both have equally little in common with the SEC papers. Timing is really the only thing the mocks are useful for.


  • Registered Users Posts: 129 ✭✭EDmon


    I'm looking for hints on:

    HL Irish
    HL Economics
    HL Maths
    HL English
    HL Spanish
    HL Home Economics
    HL Biology

    Do you know if the HL Irish paper is
    based on the pass paper?
    If so An tearrach thiar, and Mo ghrá-sa were hinted at.
    essay: Oideachas
    An Trial: characters

    English:
    Poetry: **Sylvia Plath
    Hamlet: Soliloquies
    The role of women

    Biology:
    **Reproduction

    Four sent our school brochures.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,509 ✭✭✭✭randylonghorn


    About 3 / 4 I think ... DEB, Examcraft, Munster Examining Board, and I think there's another one. Some schools will order different subjects from different companies to confuse students trying to get hints.

    Plus many teachers don't use the companies anyway ... they set their own papers.

    Mod note: Spoiler 'em! Even if it's just a guess, unless you make it *very clear* that you're just making a wild guess.

    What about the 'dictatorship and democracy in Europet', 'pursuit of sovereignty and impact on partition', and 'movements for political and social reform'? Much appreciated but I don't do the section you mentioned.

    A teacher let it slip that ALL our pres are Examcraft.

    Business - Looks like examcraft, we've been covering these areas recently, teacher said that we have material in the upcoming pre covered recently, and others may get covered before the pre(starting before mid-term) . Areas such to likes of SPOILERED ^above

    English - Again, appears Examcraft, "
    if you know hamlet characters
    , you're covered, constantly naming poets as above.

    So at least there's two, that appear to be that of Examcraft. :)

    chomps_x
    will reveal all next week :) :P
