The Mocks 2010 *Read first post before posting*

KnifeWRENCH

This thread is for discussion of the Mocks. Please contain all discussion of the 2010 Mocks to this threads. Other threads may be deleted or closed.

A few simple rules to ensure this thread runs as smoothly as possible:

• NO POSTING OF MOCK PAPERS: Any posts of the actual papers will be deleted and the user posting them will be banned.
  
• USE SPOILER TAGS: If you are referring to any specific material on any Mock paper, make sure to use spoiler tags so that people who don't want to know what's on a given paper won't see. A spoiler looks like this:
  Your text here
  . To use spoiler tags, click the icon.
  
• We do not encourage anybody to post any details of any of the Mock papers. However, we recognise that you are all old enough to be responsible for your own actions here. So anyone who has problems with possible questions being posted online should refrain from posting in the thread, because this thread won't work if it descends into arguments about the advantages/disadvantages of posting spoilers.
  
• All standard boards.ie rules apply here: no flaming, trolling, personal abuse or spamming. If you have an issue with a moderation decision, please PM the Mod in question. Do not argue about Mod decisions on thread.

A bit of clarification on what does and doesn't need to be in spoiler tags:
"English was dire, I ran out of time. My comparative was so rushed." = This is fine. You're not giving away any information about the specific content of the paper. No spoilers needed, post away!
"English was dire, I had no idea what to say for Kingship in Macbeth." = This is not fine. Spoilers please.

So, with that out the way, have fun posting and best of luck to everyone in the exams!

SPOILER on History Paper, DEB:

The moon landing isn't coming up on American History, and Vietnam (I'm 99% sure) is, as is the Cold War.

DEB Accounting:

Control a/cs (either Debtor or Creditor) are a 60mark question. As is depreciation or revaluation (not sure which one, sorry!) Cash flow statements will be on the paper but I don't know whether it will be a 60m or 100m (but I hope 100m)

Does anyone know what type of budgeting will be on the DEB accounting?

What about some of the part (c)s. I'm not really worried about Maths. Expect something good in it but can't. What about the Area and Volume part c?

Also, anyone yet know the Biology one? I'm kinda screwed for that, and must prove my teacher wrong. Don't you just hate when teachers tell you you're stupid when you're just actually really lazy.

KatCookie

Eh, im just after checking for my Maths papers, Ordinary Level and i've realised that i dont have them with me,

from top of my memory i think that Q8 Paper One had quite a difficult bit that involved derivative with something strange in it and I didnt have a clue how to do it. Oh, arithmetic Q1 was a bit tricky too, i'd advise people to go over the trickier questions on Q1

_Music_

Can someone post ordinary level maths spoilers please! What came up on question 1 aritmetic..compond intrest?percentage error?
And paper 2 question2, the line question,was that tricky?! And has anyone got any idea of the french HL mock?
thanks.:D

stainluss

Is there not aload of different mock papers going to different schools?

gemxpink

HL French anyone!? I have it on Tuesday and have no idea where to start Will gladly swap Irish notes/other exam papers for a few of the French Q's

**Timbuk2**

As far as I know one of the Aistes for Irish HL (DEB) is

fadhbanna na hóige

. If that came up, could I just write the essay I have prepared earlier about

daoine óga agus polaiteoirí

or would that not be relevant?

Oh the other honors Irish class in my year has been told to be prepared for problems relating to drugs, alcohol and such so I don't think politics would be relevant.

Look, everyone, stop the fighting! The whole purpose of the thread is to help people out if they want it (hence the spoiler tags).

There are people in 5th year posting telling people how wrong it is. But if you're in 5th year, you don't have any knowledge of the stress of 6th year. The mocks come very early and some people are prone to stress. Personally, I think that mocks should be held in March, as in most subjects I don't have the course finished.

People that do choose to find out what may come up, know well that this can't be done the in the real thing. The mocks aren't to give you an accurate guess at how many points you will get (as teachers often give hints, the correcting standards are poor and the course isn't covered fully) but rather for students to get used to the physical layout of the exam, the timing involved and the physical sitting for 3 hours writing. Regardless of whether you know the questions or not, the mocks are still helpful for your real LC, but at getting you used to sitting the exams, rather than for predicting points.

Does anybody know what the HL aiste or diopoireachts are for either DEB or Examcraft? Thanks in advance.

Am I the only one who saw that post?

Now if you guys can't stop fighting can you at least open another thread for this argument, so that this one doesn't get locked because of you?

Life in the capitalist culture we live in is all about trying to get ahead by any means necessary (within the law for the most part).
This is just another case of people taking the advantage, moral or not, to get ahead. when the leaving cert rolls around they may find another loop to use to their advantage.

Our teacher gave us a few hints about chemistry. Dont know what papers we use yet but she told us

to concentrate on the redox titration experiments rather than acid/base. There is a question on ph tied in with water. There is a question on equilibrium, I think on the experiments to show le chateliers principle.

The rest is the usual format of the exam papers.

Was mighty confused today. Got the paper, there was a tick next to Pre-Leaving certificate examination 2010 BUT then there was a barcode in the top right hand corner.

Did not have the paper 3_BOoYA_X talked about on page 3. I had the texts on

euphemising, running and then the text 3 was about Jedward.

I assume thats Examcraft and the barcode on DEB papers is more prominent?

Out of interest how long should a speech be for the composition?
