there was bits about tourism/tourists and a mother talkin to her son about a summer job. Anyone know if this paper is DEBS or Examcraft?

Debs did have stuff on

tourism in the aural but nothing about a mother & son discussing a summer job

..must be examcraft

Thanks for the info. Does this mean that all my mock papers will be Examcraft?

No not necessarily at all, in my school the teacher of the individual subject chooses the mock paper rather than the school choosing a mock company. I have had mostly Deb so far but also had one examcraft

German HL, no barcode but am assuming it is DEBS as all my other exams have been as well!

Listening:
Part 1: Interview with volunteer for die Tafel, a German network of food banks, in Bremen, how it was founded and what the man does every day
Part 2: Note on a lady getting a couch from a furniture company that she never ordered, need to write down expressions for confusion, pretty sure her name was Hartmann
Part 3: Conversation between a school teacher and a student who is being cyberbullied, photos of him put up on Facebook, need to write down expressions to show her reassuring him
Part 4: News section, first part is on Schuleschwanzen or dossing and the effect it has on students, second is on some lady's dog being stolen from her car, third part is on the PISA study and how German students ranked (boys better at maths than girls), fourth part is weather (Found it quite hard!)

Written:
Text 1: Extract from novel Träume wohnen überall, know Obdachslosigkeit though I got on fine without it, show how the main character displays compassion (shares food, that was all I got really!)
Angewandte Grammatik: Change from present to past imperfect (zittern was one of the verbs), personal pronouns - identify gender, case, plural or singular
Text 2: Piece on Hamburger SV's football academy, Internat = boarding school
AzT: a: Describe picture of boy balancing football on leg, is a football boarding school a good idea, would you like to go to a boarding school and if so why/why not. b: Describe picture of person holding tablet with picture of teacher on it, write about e-schools - how do they work, do you think they are more effective than a normal school
Schriftliche Produktion: I only did the Brief - first part you need to write about Ireland's national day, St. Patrick's Day, how and when it is celebrated, how you celebrated it, second part was if Ireland has shows where people can win money (I mentioned Winning Streak), what your opinion is of them, what you would do with the money if you won one, third part was on water charges, do you think they're a good idea, how did Irish people react, how can you conserve water, fourth part was on school magazines, does your school have one, what would you write down for your favourite memory of the school year

Biology HL DEBS, may not be in right order, sorry!

Section A:
Definition for population, theory, hypothesis, fermentation
Know ecology definitions: Niche, abiotic factors, contest competition, etc.
plant structures, know phloem's different cells (I didn't ), know stomata, lenticels, anaerobic respiration, know the heart diagram well, function of pacemaker
Know eukaryotic cells
Know enzyme, optimum pH, what the shape of them means or something like that can't recall exactly
Know anaphase, 2n=4

Section B:
Experiment on osmosis, know everything on it inc. diagram!
Know making alcohol by yeast experiment (not the diagram though) know chemical test for carbon dioxide
Third q was a mixed bag, seed germination, test for reducing sugar, immobilising enzymes, qualitative study I think???

Section C:
Question on amoeba (haven't done it yet), 3 shapes bacteria are classified into
Reading comprehension on ecology about foxes, know effects of decrease of prey on predators, know nitrogen cycle and all its definitions!
Question on cartilage, tendon, ligament, osteoblasts, osteocytes
Question on kidneys - draw a diagram including blood supply, know filtration and reabsorption, what happens when your blood has a lot of water in it (ADH not produced)
Question on male infertility, contraception, effect of contraception on human fertility rates, know hormone that maintains pregnancy - progesterone, produced by corpus luteum for first 12 weeks then produced by placenta I think (check your Biology book!)
Long question on DNA and genetics, part b included Mendel's laws and incomplete dominance in snapdragons, don't know rest of it!
Long question on ATP, function, where it is made and abbreviation, same for NADP+ and whether it is a low or high energy carrier, photosynthesis esp. the two pathways, know pancreas - exocrine and endocrine function

Hope this helps! Thinking I got an A2

Guys here is examcraft paper 2 maths:

{spoiler}
1-the line know how to find the slope of a line using the slope betwwen two line formula.
2-the circle u have to know how to get the equation of a circle give 2 points on it and the line going through the centre.
3-probability easy enough
4-Bernoulli again was quite easy
5-construction- circumcentre and u have to know how to verify it using algebra, give the co-ordinates of some points.
6-theorem 19, question base on the theorem. easy ques.
7-know how to use your sine rule and cosine rule. u have to find the dist from a tower to 2 campsites, easy enough if u know ur sine and cosine rule.
8-stats- standard deviation formula
9-null and alternate hypothesis, I thought this was the toughest question other than that the paper was fine.
{spoiler}

If u need any other hints pm me

Maths Paper 2 DEB HL

Note: I haven't sat any other subjects that haven't already been posted in depth. If I had anything extra I'd post it, and I'll post new subjects after I sit them. Please don't PM me

Here's everything that has already been posted

Question 1 - Co-ordinate Geometry of the Line
Question 2 - Trigonometry (Prove the one with tan in it)
Question 3 - Probability
Question 4 - Circle
Question 5 - Trigonometic graphs (know range, period, amplitude)
Question 6 - Theorem and application of theorem (triangle ratio theorem) + congruents
Question 7 - Stats (mean, standard deviation, central tendency, pearson coefficient)
Question 8 - Null hypothesis, confidence intervals
Question 9 - Area + Volume (snooker balls in a box)


q1 coordinate geometry (parallelogram)
q2 trig (tanA+B) and construction of a line
q3 probability, something about a phone company
q4 coordinate geometry circle, tangents to a circle from a point outside
q5 General solution, cosine graph, have to give the range and period etc
q6 didn't do but it was geometry
q7 multiple bar chart, standard deviation, scatter graph, correlation
q8 probability, 95% interval, hypothesis testing (null + alternative 5% one)
q9 area and volume involving pool balls rectangular box then in a triangular box then in a square base

As for general tips,

1. I couldn't do question one at all, you were given 4 points, something like (0,0), (x,5) (4,y) and (4,2) and you had to find both missing values. You also had to then calculate the area of the parallelogram.

2. Know the Tan(A+B) proof, here's a link to a video I used -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igNTc-G_77k

There was also the construction where you had to first draw a line of length 1 unit and construct a line of length √2 - 1

3. This question was easy enough,

Construct a venn diagram to help you with part (a) then the rest are questions like "what are the odds of getting through to the customer on the 2nd/3rd call etc."

7. Most of this was already mentioned, but make sure you're able to calculate standard deviation and be familiar with a multiple bar chart.

9. You'll have to express the area (or volume I forget) of the box in terms of radii for the first part, then you'll need to use Pythagoras to prove it's more efficient to pack spheres in a hexagonal arrangement. For part B the snooker balls are arranged like an actual rack and you have to express the volume in terms of the radii again. Finally there's a square base question which is easy enough, just remember that the bottom base is 4x4 (then 3x3, 2x2, and 1) It should add up to 30.
You'll have to express the height of this pyramid in terms of r again.

I'll pm you regarding some subjects.

4. Bonding, atomic orbital def, uses of nitrogen, empirical formula, q on finding no of atoms, explain the difference between bonding in water and ammonia I think??, phosphate anion test, catalysts in catalytic converter

5. know how to do spdf thing! thompson - his input in finding atoms, def on electronegativity, draw dot and cross, rutherford and alpha particles

6. Know about hydrogen gas as a fuel - how to supply in large quantity (I said electrolysis?), adv and dis, think there was a heat of combustion q swell!

7. Think this was to do with water treatment - bit on exp to do with swimming pool chlorine exp and know how to use calorimeter

8. Forget!

9. Org chem - long question and i didn't do it

section A (I don't do prescribed literature so don't ask please)
journalistic text - immigration in the united states
- other 2 comprehensions are easy just about shoes and about a man who was arrested

section B
comprehension - on selfies and the effect it has on young people
opinion: "the youth of today are very selfish" or "the lack of confidence in young people can cause problems"

Section C
dialogue construction - you're doing exams, spanish oral, plans for summer holidays
formal letter - spanish newspaper stated that summer holidays for secondary schools are too long and they should be spending more time in classes; agree or disagree.
- young people work very hard during the school year
- a lot of pressure from adults and teachers
- summer holidays are for relaxing with friends and family
- can't remember the other 2 points but they're easy anyway.

Note: write to spanish exchange student that your phone isn't working so you've gone to an internet café to ring your parents to chat. say where you'll meet him etc.

Diary entry: you've gotten a friend request from a classmate of your spanish exchange student.
- you're very happy about it
- say when and where you met them
- you hope to meet up with them over summer in spain
- can't remember this one
- say that you hope they don't have a boyfriend/girlfriend

can't remember any more so don't bother messaging me, good luck! it was an easy paper anyway!
