    Dude, which mock paper did your school use?
    'Cause i want some hint on what to study for Maths and I have the paper 1 exam tomorrow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,288 ✭✭✭millington


    Bit late but I presumed they were all the same. Basically you need to know everything that comes up :D
    and there was a question on drawing a line where you had 2 equations (2x+y=5,x-y=1) or something like that I couldnt do.

    MOD EDIT: If you're referring to a specific question on the mock paper, put it behind spoilers!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 245 ✭✭kingbob387


    Oh lol, bit late now.
    Had it today, meh hopeing that I passed xP.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 121 ✭✭6stringmaniac


    I had to go into hospital for a week to get my appendix taken out and I won't be able to do the mocks.
    Anyone know if I'll have to repeat them or when I do?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,851 ✭✭✭PurpleFistMixer


    Entirely up to your school, I imagine. The mocks aren't mandatory for the Junior Cert or anything, they're just a practice most schools put on around this time of year.

    Are the mock papers the same in every school?
    I've mine in 2 weeks! :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    There are 2 companies that do mocks for JC and LC.


    Just some general rules about discussing mocks: Posting exam papers or providing links to exam papers will earn you a ban. As will "pm me for X exam paper".

    You can post what was on your exam, but it must be within spoiler tags. To do a spoiler tag type [spoile] with your text between the tags [/spoiler ] and without a space between the word "spoiler" and the ] sign in the second tag.

    Good luck everyone!

    The best sort of practice (or mock) exams are actual past papers.
    If you just want questions to do, make up your own.

    I did the other choice for the poem question,but if I did the other I would've chosen Mid Term Break by Seamus Heaney.
