    im pretty sure the DEB publishes two different mock exams so schools in close proximity to each other won't be able to cheat! i could be wrong.

    well on my one the question one was somethin about science has done more good than bad for us - discuss type thing or the jewish guy was agressive, would you be aggressive too? (or somthin to that effect, bear in mind im not good at french but the science one is definitely that!)

    Cool thanks. And by the way that is pretty mingy, making sure schools dont copy, sure for gods sake you'd think they would just set the pres for the same time for every school and stop the hassle. DUH!

    I had the one today with two comprehensions, one about the first face-grafting and one about two Jewish children in the 40s, was this DEB?

    It was a fairly good paper in my opinion, the face-grafting comp was easy but I found the standard of the other comprehension far more difficult than usual. The questions didn't help either!

    It was a tough paper - no multiple choice, questions were hard enough and you really had to know your stuff... I'd say I B'd it but I'd be disappointed with anything under a B1 really.

    What do you think?

    Also, that question about sportsplayers was great! Not that it was true, but very easy to write about

    No!! I had that, and it's NOT DEB. DEB is the one previously mentioned...liud party and whatev.


    I found it very easy, even the Ida B thing, and the listening was a joke.

    Yeah, it was definitely the easier question. It was a personal question, have you ever been attacked in your life? Describe the incident (real or imaginary)

    Enjoy that! An easy question if you ask me, and you can lift bits of the attack from the comprehension if you like... There's some good description in it.. eg change 'i got a swift blow to the eye' to the 'nose' or somethin...

    Surely I could.

    1st Question was obligatory bout (a) Are the benefits of advances in science outweighing the cons?, (b) Describe an incident (real or imaginary) when you've been attacked before.

    2nd question was choice between writing a diary entry which I don't remember coz I didn't do it, and writing an email to the family who you lived beside in France - you stayed in your parents apartment there for a few weeks, and caused a lot of noise, which they weren't pleased with, so they wrote to your family complaining..

    3rd question i can't remember, didn't do it

    4th I can remember the part I did, part (b), showed a cartoon which implied all sportsplayers are 'dopes' (it used that word) , donnez voz reactions.

    If I remember correctly the diary entry was about 'you're coming to the end of your final year of school, the bac is approaching, and you're looking forward to the summer and finishing school, write a diary entry describing your thoughts and feelings at the time' - however that may be wrong ive such a bad memory *cry*

    Nope. My school get examcraft, and I had that paper.

    The one I had was the facial transplant girl & some Jewish lad for the two comprehensions.

    Q1 was the assaulted one, based from the comprehensions.

    Next there was the noisy party thing, an e-mail it was(mine is awful, terrible choice to do, but couldnt remember violence), changes in transport, doping in sport(I laughed at that picture), violence in school.
