    I'm doing it at nine am tomorrow, totally screwed. My timing is totally off, plus i dont know the acts properly or the ABQ units. We've only just finished the social responsibility chapter, havent started the european union one, which is probably going to rule out at least one long question and probably one short question too. I'll probably end up getting up at 06:00 trying to have a last minute cram session. Plus, irishpal25 - my school alone has two different sets of mocks, so dont rely totally on learning off what came up on country_gurl's paper, or worse, making cog notes.

    Yeah, just be careful - if the subject is in two different subject groups and have two different mock timetables, chances arte if youre in a decent school they'll have two different sets of mock papers.

    I did higher Business today too, but I had a different paper. The only short question that I didn't know the answer to was the short question "what is a social audit", the rest were very straightforward.

    ABQ was fairly easy, questions on legislative and non legislative methods of soving conflict , management skills and another one that I can't quite recall(it was about solving a problem where there were 2 people running a business and one of them was treating customers and staff poorly)

    Other things that came up in the long questions were relationship between employers and employees, role of director of consumer affairs, delegation ,insurance(household and business) , sources of finance for household , "what is indirect taxation and why is it regressive" , definitions of batch ,mass and job production , what is a break even chart used for and its advantages.

    I'm working from memory here since I had to hand up the question booklet but that should be enough for you to get a respectable mark in the test I did. of course if you do use them you're cheating scum and you don't deserve that respect :D

    I gt 70% on that exam. Wasn't that bad. Management was a nice question.

    well i just think if people want to know roughly what came up on the pre theres no harm in it. And for those who don't want to see whats comin up(1 of them was me... except 4 english i just found out whether dickinson was coming up or not), they are well capable of not looking at. But for those who do want to look at it, they can, after all its just a guide... i can't remember the exact contact. Plus they are not sure whether it is the same paper. And if i can help people to get some info into their heads that may be useful then so be it. At the end of the day if they go by just that info they aren't going to do well in the L.C. so they will get the "grade they deserve"
    So good luck to everyone including those who have received info.
