    So, we literally just write the text of me interviewing someone who has my dream job, identifying the pros and cons?

    I haven't done my paper yet so I don't know if it's deb or exam craft (probably deb) but my teacher told us to study
    environment, healthy eating, technology advantages+disadvantages, bullying, money jobs work life. Think most of that is written work but some could be comprehensions.

    Are you sure this is right? Because in the LC exam
    there is always mechanics (which I assume is Q1) and electricity is always Q4.
    So how could there be heat, sound and optics but no electricity?

    If that's right then examcraft are on a different planet altogether :p

    Are you serious? That's defeating the purpose a bit isn't it? Goes to show what the mock companies know :P

    Can people posting information about the mocks ONLY post if they know for sure what paper it is?

    'I think it's this...', 'It might be that', 'I'm not sure what company' are almost worse than useless.
    If you are replying to a query on your informatuion, please quote the query asked of you as random 'Yes, it's DEB' when no-one has any idea what paper you are referring to are not helpful.

    By chance anyone has ever experienced getting a combination of papers for english? Maybe like examcraft for paper 1 and DEB for paper 2?

    Wouldn't work if they are being sent away to be corrected. It would be awkward sending paper 1 to one examiner and paper 2 to another. It'd probably cost more too. Don't think you can even divide them up the two papers come as a set

    The school would have to have money to burn too. Perhaps in the schools where they charge students to do mocks this might work, but generally, the exam paper companies give all sorts of discounts if a school gives them all their business. They also torment the schools for repeat business year to year.
