maths mock = hard

cdak68

I'm fairly useless at maths, but even accounting for that I thought that the mock paper one in higher level was very tough. For those who have done it, did any of you find it similarly difficult or is it just me?

I've got paper one coming up soon, what was on it and what was so difficult?

cdak68

I'm not sure if this will work, but I'll try to attatch the paper.

I should point out that we've quite a bit of the course to finish, so that was one reason I found it hard.

I'm not sure if all mock papers are the same, though so I wouldn't be certain you'll get this one.

belinea06

SirCretop

Its not one person who makes up the paper, theres a bunch of people on the commitee and they all subit different questions and some get picked.

My French teacher did the 1999 French Higher Level Paper, but wont give us hints, but will tell us if her stuff got selected this year when we come out of the exam in june.

if last years exam is anything to go by, i'd be expecting an easy enough paper this time around

Aye, seems likely. Easy paper, marked somewhat hard, I would imagine, to get the A quota at what it's supposed to be..

Funny thing is, the Leaving Certs from last year in my school got a really easy mock, and then were horrified by the real thing. We had a pretty tough mock, so I can't see the actual paper being worse..:)

are both the paper1, and two you posted up, higher, or ordinary?

cdak68

it's a mock exam - one of the the most ridiculous wastes of money one can endure during secondary school. I don't think they should be legitimised in any way whatsoever. all they do is stop us from studying for our orals - which are actually important.

GrumPy

I know its a mock, but is it higher, or pass level? the ones you posted up.

cdak68

higher - i was responding to the post above yours. Remember there are 4 different mocks, though, so it's by no means particularly likely you'll get this.

GrumPy

Thank ****, im doing pass, thought i was in for a shocker tomoro :v:

You rock cdak!
