When are the Mocks Starting?

Crania · 06-12-2005 09:00PM #1

Hiya lads, I'm just wondering does anyone know when the Mocks(Pre-Examination's) are starting? I think its around the 20th of February but I'm not aure. I tried to find it on the internet but I couldn't.

PurpleFistMixer · 06-12-2005 09:22PM

As far as I know the mocks are a school-organised thing so you'll not be finding them on the internet, and also, some schools may have them at different times.

It was the end of January/start of February last year for me...

lilmissprincess · 06-12-2005 09:28PM

Monday after midterm for me....and its snowed on that day the last two years...hope it does this year too...

Aisling(",) · 07-12-2005 07:58PM

some time in febuary for me

marshmallow · 07-12-2005 10:51PM

It varies from school to school. Some schools don't even have them. Mine start Jan 31st for 2 weeks 'til the Mid-Term.

Crania · 07-12-2005 11:04PM

Oh right, I thought the Mocks were standardised like the Junior Cert. Thanks for the information lads. I think they are starting on the Wednesday after the Mid-Term in my school, of couse the useless teachers in my school don't know, what a surprise.

andyman · 17-12-2005 07:12PM

How is the study going for everyone?

Mine is great!! I have about a third of the entire course off already!!

lilmissprincess · 17-12-2005 10:01PM

NO NEED TO RUB IT IN!!!
I is gonna fail Maths Christmas Test, and possibly Mocks...

marshmallow · 18-12-2005 09:55PM

Eh.. I haven't started studying. I actually really want to get into it but I'm finding time to sit down and get the books out! Mocks are in 6weeks! Studying over christmas...:(

lilmissprincess · 19-12-2005 08:22PM

6 WEEKS??????????????????????????? My life is officially over.

Piste · 20-12-2005 04:02PM

My mocks are in 5 weeks I think...

I'll be going to Bauhaus (if I get in) the saturday before my mocks which'll probably show in the results...

marshmallow · 20-12-2005 06:47PM

I'm going to be in Cork playing matches the week end before me mocks and that will probably show in my mocks too. It's the worst time to have it.

I got my timetable today and I have something everyday and some of my friends get 2 days off the way the choice subjects are arranged.

Apple Gal · 01-01-2006 11:19AM

3 weeks after mid term for me.Sooooooo scary!!!!

Sorchie · 15-01-2006 06:34PM

My mocks start the week after the midterm so around the 20th of February and I havent started studying yet!I always mean to then get distracted or something.I'm starting after school study next week cause I know if I didn't I wouldn't study til the night before as I usually do!

Oh yes I have not touched geography at all either! Every time I start I just say I know this and then give up! Everyone keeps saying how the mocks are nothing and only a practise so everyone in my school just isn't bothering at all!

PurpleFistMixer · 15-01-2006 10:34PM

I bothered more for my mocks than my JC, really. Turned out okay.*

*I am not endorsing not studying for the JC. Eh... study.

1huge1 · 18-01-2006 07:50PM

mine start on the 31st of january
know most of it fairly well even though i havent studied to much
maths wont be easy at all though
business might be a problem when it comes to long questions (some years are easy some arnt)

Apple Gal · 18-01-2006 08:40PM

Mmm maths will not be good! I've been giving a question evry night for hw from the higher level papers and I haven't been able to do one question! There too hard!!

Piste · 19-01-2006 09:51PM

Bah I'm so unprepared for the mocks...but rather than studying for them I come online to moan and bitch and whinme about how badly I'm going to fail.

Beats studying

Apple Gal · 19-01-2006 09:55PM

Awhhh me too! And complain about the little amount of studying I am doing when I should be doing it instead of telling the world about not doing it!

StJimmy · 20-01-2006 09:39PM

My Mocks are quite late - they don't start until some time in March and end the day before St.Paddy's Day!

But it all depends on your school.

Now, now. Talk to mumsie and dadsie :v: and ask them for assistance. Claim you've never done formal exams before and would appreciate their help and patience. Agree something with them that if you do X amount of study and get Y grades in the mocks that you will be given peaceful use of your room for study without aggravation from your siblings / forgiven chores / allowed have a night out / whatever floats your boat.

Now if you actually have a problem studying, ask for someone who is good at that subjec to help, be that, parent, sibling, cousin, neighbour, etc.

Haha yeah, I suppose. But I'm just over my Christmas exams and I kinda want a break.

Apple Gal · 20-01-2006 11:51PM

Ya see in my school we don't have Christmas exams! It's great! In normal years you just have Feb and Summer exams and it's the same on 3rd year,the mocks and jc!

marshmallow · 21-01-2006 09:04PM

God, I thought my school was the only one starting really early. I thought most were after midterm. Mine start the 31st, so ten days. Haven't done enough work. Still have another week to get work done but I know I won't be that bothered. When it comes to my results I will be!

Apple Gal · 21-01-2006 11:28PM

I know mine are on the 30th and I still have to do 1st and 2nd year work in everything!

liamskater · 22-01-2006 12:10AM

I wasn't suggesting somethign material, as such. But what would make you study?

Piste · 23-01-2006 01:31PM

Someone standing behind me whipping me everytime I averted my eyes from the page?

PurpleFistMixer · 23-01-2006 06:20PM

No, that'd be even MORE incentive not to study. ;D

Apple Gal · 09-02-2006 03:25PM

My mocks are finished!! I'm so so happy!:D

Fitzo · 09-02-2006 03:36PM

ketchup_please · 09-02-2006 05:03PM

Apple Gal · 09-02-2006 05:21PM
