    Why'd ya wanna cheat to try and pass the mox??

    If your not going to work just fail it honourably will ya.

    There's no chance of ya cheating in the real LC

    mine start on the 24th of feb. so i made a 6 week plan of studying about 1:30-2:00 hours a night which'll be like 70+ hours and thats not including the mid-term which is aload of free time.

    That's more than enough to study everything....just organise yourself

    Just study for them. You're not going to be able to look up the real exam questions before the leaving so you shouldn't be trying to look up the mock ones.

    Those companies don't do mocks and anyway the mods will probably shut down any thread like this.

    Who said the OP wasn't going to work. Even if they know everything thats coming up in the paper they still have to study that!

    That'll be a greatly reduced amount of material to learn though.

    I think having some hints for the mocks is OK. Knowing what will come up in every single question is another story altogether though.

    I meant proper work, why are you defending someone who wants to cheat?
    Ha right well there is a chance but anyone who'd cheat on that test is just...urgh

    Why? Ok, so you might get a slightly better grade, but to what end? You'll face another exam in June with no indication of what's going to come up - how will you manage then?

    Because you'll have more preparation done for June, so it balances out. And people make predictions for nearly every exam in June, going on past papers. The same can't be done for the mocks. Some people haven't full courses finished for the mocks, meaning that teachers have to give hints to help students along.

    Don't get me wrong, knowing everything that is on the paper, and exact questions isn't good. Small hints imo are ok.

    Some sour feckers in here...:rolleyes:

    I'd advise some of ye to stop getting so hung up on what the guy is doing. It's not of your business really and I don't know too many people who would refuse a few hints for the mocks that would greatly decrease stress and pressure.

    Anyway you can calm down, mine are on the 2nd of Feb. You have plenty of time until the 29th.

    And even if you dont do well, who gives a **** its just the mocks, its not everything. Loads of time after them.
