    I've a feeling the QB's will be horrible. :o
    I'd love a nice aul' speech about teenagers for the QB, and then a nice personal essay about problems/magazine article about celebrities.

    I had a personal essay in my mock which was along the lines of problems I think there is in the world. Was really handy. I'd love that again or Music in my life.

    Not sure what I want for B, probably a report or review but they usually don't come up.

    Sounds handy enough! In my mocks I did a magazine article on celebrity culture. I wrote about stuff like the Illuminati in an almost 'gossip magazine' way. It was atrocious, yet hilarious.

    I really want a short story/personal essay along the lines of "I found it difficult to remain hopeful" or something like that. I just can't, for the life of me, write happy/uplifting stories. :pac:

    I would usually say that it's starting to get monotone, but it's so true, and my brain still can't accept it.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 941 ✭✭✭11Charlie11


    For the mocks i was unprepared for a lot of things and told myself that ill make sure ill have everything covered for the real exam as it is everything I've worked for the past two years all in one exam Etc... Now here I am even less prepared than I was for the mocks and yet I don't feel nervous! It still hasn't hit me that they start Wednesday! :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,971 ✭✭✭✭peekachoo


    I'm trying to take comfort for the fact that I'm sitting the exams in a class room instead of a hall, so hopefully I can treat them as normal school exams :eek:
