    well..my mocks are on same time but even if i knew what was "coming up" , it wouldnt make any dif cause it depends which examination company the school is using for the mocks... so it really depends on the school like. good luck, but i'd say i need it more!

    I'm in sixth year too, so I can't speak for everyone, but let me give you some advice: Don't give a **** about your mock results being good, bad, or whatever. Your mocks are supposed to be an indicator and NOTHING more. That is, if you fail anything, it means nothing for now, what it means is that you have to get on top of everything in time for your actual leaving cert. If you get straight As, it means you have a very good chance of doing very well in your leaving. Either way, the results, for now, don't count for ANYTHING - therefore, go in, do the best you can, and see what you can make of it. Knowing what's coming up is comletely pointless - it'll get you a meaningless A now, but it means you won't have any indicator of how you'll actually perform in June, when it really matters. Forget trying to impress parents, teachers, friends, whatever - your mock results are for YOU. No one else should give a **** how you do in them, they're not a contest - they're designed to help you figure out what you need to do between now and June.

    Good luck, and do as well as you can do.

    My mocks are before the midterm. They start on the 29th and will run right up to the break.
    Not looking forward to it, but oh well.

    I don't understand wanting to know what's coming up on the mocks, it completely defeats the purpose of them.

    i dont suppose that u would like to study for a qs that came up last year and there is no chances of it comming up this year.. and you'll be there studyin it ur head off..and for what? just to have unpredictable mocks?

    pff rubish.. soryy its just my opinion

    predictions are there in order to guide students of to what pay more attention, i dont mean to leave out everythin completely .. well i hope u know what i meant to say :D

    anyways in Maths our teacher has a thing for integration qs where u find volume of either a shpere or a cone without giving values.. make sure to study that ;)
