Mocks Thread 2012 - *read first post before posting*

I hate school

MOD NOTE, PLEASE READ.

So it's that time of the year when the whole subject of mocks is becoming very topical, and naturally enough I'm sure people want to talk about them. So here's a thread for that, but we need to establish some rules so this runs smoothly and as it should.

Please restrict ALL discussion of mocks 2012 to this thread. Other threads may be deleted or closed.

Rules:

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: Spoiler: Your text here. To use spoiler tags, type [ SPOILER ] *spoiler here*[ /SPOILER ] without spaces or click the spoiler icon.

We don't encourage people to post info, and we certainly don't encourage people to read...I can't stop any of you from cheating but I can advise you to just not do it...you're not doing yourselves any favour, you're not going to know what's on the exam in June beforehand. These are to give you an idea of timing/marking/weak areas before the real thing. Aside from that, they mean nothing. There's no need to worry about them, and there's certainly no need to cheat.

However, we recognise that you are all old enough to be responsible for your own actions here, and at least this system means that if people are going to post or seek for hints, they are confined to one thread and others can avoid them.

This policy has evolved in this forum over a number of years: it may not be perfect, but we have found it to be the best compromise. This thread is NOT to be used for arguing with those who choose to post or look for hints.

All standard boards.ie rules apply here: no flaming, trolling, personal abuse or spamming. Please remember that txtspeak is NOT welcome on Boards. Using large font / multi-coloured text is also both unwelcome and unnecessary.

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 drama question 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 the hero question for Romeo and Juliet." = This is not fine. Spoilers please.[/B]

Ok i have 2 and a half weeks to my mocks. and have only done abit of study,
My question is would i be able to study everything before the exams start and how long each day ?

You certainly should be able to study everything important!
I guess you could devote an hour or two every evening, and maybe five to six hours during the weekend. Study at your own pace, and take breaks, as theres no point staring at a book taking nothing in
