Right, just got the german aural done. The least we deserve is some feedback on what came up in your mocks.

the mock company is examcraft
the first question is an interview of someone who moved to german. from what i can hear she is from utopia. it is the easiest questions out of all the others. i don't think you will need help.

the phone call is to a person named Kayser. the problem is that he won the lottery or some competition but there was some problem with his bank account.
one of the emotion verbs it asks you to write at the end is unglaublich and complicated.

the next question is between a 2 students. they are talking about what to do after the leaving cert. he is neutral or some verb saying not happy *answer c.the thing he planned was to go to Italy and eat in italian restaurants and go to the disco.

the last one was the most difficult (in my opinion) *the news. the first one was why do the boys not cooperate in school. (i guessed!) and it also asked you what percentage of girls did something something (the answer is 58%)
the next one was about a crash (a bus and a car). no one was injured but one of them was shocked. the next question asked you to describe 2 people (they were 18 and 23 years old and from berlin). and the other part of it was why the police arrested them (they stole cars and one of them had no driving license)
the weather was about (rain, shower, strong wind) and for 2morrow (rain and a word (wessen) i think)

thats all i know!

I had mine 2day and it was a Deb paper and these were the things on it!!

Tanga1 · 23-01-2013 11:59pm

mine had the barcode on the right (or on the left from my perspective). there was no other barcodes on it.

Rebel7 · 24-01-2013 12:01am

yeah dats the deb paper. examcraft has tick on it!

Tanga1 · 24-01-2013 12:18am

Well this guy posted that examcraft have a barcode on it so i can only use the info given on this forum!

If you bothered to read the thread, you would see where it has been posted how to identify the two main companies.

Ash2012 said : Deb have barcodes on the back and front and left hand side of the paper, Examcraft have them on the right handside!

I realise you and many of the posters in this thread never posted before, but please, read the entire thread, don't just drop in and out.

Last year one valiant poster created a whole spreadsheet on it. This can't be done with 'hints' that are useless.

spurious · 24-01-2013 8:16am

Every year we get deliberate mis-information on this thread from some people, so beware of anything you take from it.

Some seriously strange people out there in terms of how they get their jollies.

candyshan · 24-01-2013 1:35pm

I havent done the mocks but tips from my teachers were
Biology:

Respiration, Photosynthesis ( definitly the experiment!! ) Reproduction, Enzyme immobilisation experiment, mineral uptake,diffusion and active transport in plants.

Irish OL:

Definitly not hurlamabac for pros (OL) and Do you like the poem, dont know which poem though!

English:

Bishop

Geography:

Soil question for Geoecology(80 mark Q)

Thats all i know,

dory · 24-01-2013 2:49pm

As there are four companies making mock papers and 5 prós/poems for Irish it doesn't help much to know what's on each one of them. Especially as the ones that came up last year most likely won't be on the mocks so all you're finding out is that it's definitely one of the four.... It's only 10% anyway for prós and poems. Work on sraith pictiúr and aistí.

English HL Examcraft Paper 1:

Sorry for the delay. Was busy getting between 10-20% in honour's maths. I can't say what came up sadly, because it was a custom paper made by our teacher

Anyway, here's English Paper 1 HL Examcraft for you all.

It's kind of hard to discuss the Question A's of the texts, but they all involved discussing which pictures (1/2 or 2/3) do you feel suit the content of the text.

Well, for the Question B's:

TEXT 1 - Letter to the writer of the article on the objects you feel represent life in Ireland in the 21st century.
TEXT 2 - Speech about the 50th anniversary of your school, and how it should be celebrated.
TEXT 3 - Article for school website discussing importance of studying history.

Essays and such:

1 - article for newspaper on role played by celebrity culture.
2 - personal essay on what consider to be an ingenious solution to a problem.
3 - short story in which a secret is central to the plot
4 - inspirational speech to a group embarking on a challenge
5 - article on importance if keeping/breaking rules
6 - personal essay about objects you hate/love
7 - short story with elderly character

K695 · 25-01-2013 9:47pm

Our school is doing DEB mocks aswell, mine aren't till next week but I have a fair few spoilers for those papers!

English paper 2 (HL) DEB:

Poets are Bishop, Mahon, Shakespeare and Hopkins. Comparative questions are Cultural Context and Themes and Issues.

Home ec (HL) DEB:

Marrage and family structures is a definate question, so is microbiology (food spoilage and preservation part of the Q). Social elective will be a mixture of poverty, work and education. O1 is a macronutrient from what i've heard either protein or lipids.

Irish (OL) DEB:

Caca mílis summary and how the woman feels in Dís for the pros. Spailpín fanach and colscardh are the poems the letter is about declining an invite to a concert.

Biology (HL) DEB:

The eye, kreb cycle, study of an ecosystem, nitrogen cycle, plants and reproduction (not sure which one)

Police Tape Chalk Line · 25-01-2013 11:13pm

Our Irish (OL) teacher told us that

what came up on last years Leaving Cert in definatly not on the Mocks, so that rules out Hurlamaboc, Oisin, Geibheann and An tEarrach Thiar.

Not sure which papers they're off, but a lot our other teachers are using DEBS papers, so possibly from the same company?

English (HL) I would assume

Cultural Context for the Comparative Studies, considering the fact our teacher hasn't covered anything else with us!! Probably Bishop and Hopkins for the poetry, because our teacher has a bad habit revising whats coming up on the exam the week before the exam is, and we've spent all this week covering Bishop, and we're revising Hopkins next week.

Not sure about the company again, possibly DEBS?

<no requests>

whiteandlight · 25-01-2013 11:24pm

As a teacher I'd just like to give a word of warning to students, because of the amount of prediction/copying on the mocks we ordered three sets this year and will be giving a combination (maths). While the spoilers may help don't be surprised if some of them aren't on your papers. Best of luck to you all.

Did u sit the Paper 2 exam?

Yep, sat it yesterday. I got in and around 65/70 on the comparative and around 55/60 on Macbeth, but about 40/70 on poetry because I ran out of time -.- left out the unseen poetry completely..

Phoenix Wright · 26-01-2013 11:45am

Just finished my mocks there lads. I think I got one A, three B's, one C, one D and definitely failed maths.

Take my advise though. DO NOT STRESS.

Because of nerves and everything else that goes along with exams, I woke up at 6.30 Monday 6.05 Tuesday 5.20 Wednesday 4.45 Thursday and 5.50 yesterday. That's about ten hours sleep I lost, which really fecked me over. I had a mental breakdown of sorts during Biology because of a combination of a lack of sleep and nerves. I knew the material, but I left 45 minutes early, and I 'm hoping to survive from failing by scraping a D

(that and the fact I tried to study 14 chapters in 2 and a half hours which didn't exactly work too well for me)

The teachers don't expect you to do well. You're preparing for June, not Janurary/ February. So don't freak out if you're not ready, because to be honest, you shouldn't be. Do NOT do what I did for Biology and cram like it's life or death. And remember, no matter how bad you think you're doing, there's always someone who is in a worse position.

EXAMCRAFT ENGLISH PAPER 2:

Bishop - profound insights through vivid moments of perception.
Mahon - people and places

Kingship, and Macbeth's downfall.

Comparative:
Cultural context - power and status and impact on modern reader

It's cluttering the thread - if everyone asks for their own individual lists, everyone will post up seven or eight of a very limited list of subjects. We're on page 12 now and how many actual spoilers have been posted?

What we need is people to start posting spoilers (along with the company involved), otherwise we have a thread full of lists from new posters.

This thread is getting really chaotic compared to last year's one.

you don't really need spoilers on chemistry. your teacher should have told you about the layout or even if you look back on other papers you will see the trend.
NO.1 is one of the titrations
NO.2 is one of the organic experiments (ethanal, ethanoic acid, ethanol, etc)
NO. 3 is the other experiments (anions, flame test etc.)
N0. 4 is random definitons
always a question on fuels and thermochem
always a question on periodic table
allways a question on equilibrium/rates
always a question on water/pH/indicators/Acids and bases
there is the 8 questions which if you know all that you will get 100%
you see, there really is no need for spoilers.
best of luck studying. i have to study chemistry all day tomorrow.

OK, so given these two response, there are a few options regarding the spoilers regarding English Paper Two:

1. One of the posters has got confused and has posted the wrong company
2. The exact same poets and comparative topics came up on both papers

Can these posters clarify that they are certain about the company their papers came from?

And can someone else who did the DEB paper confirm the poets that are coming up?

Thanks.

so: ecology- competition, photosynthesis, one of those enzyme experiments about like rate of reactions being affected by heat/ Ph etc. homeostasis and excretion (and diffusion), reproduction ( won't say whether plant/humans) and ensure you know the food + nutrition stuff like the experiments on fats, protein, carbohydrates etc. and know which enzyme breaks down what into substrates and all of that fun stuff. AND immunity/ defense system.
