Hi, any secondary school teachers on this. Looking for a few hints on the pre`s.

Here`s a hint. Don`t bother with hints and just do the paper. There`ll be no hints in June and as this is supposed to be a dry run for that you should treat it the same way.

Shur they have a lot of the pre exams on the Internet. I know a few lads that got the exam off the internet last year.
Dont mind that dubliner 92 either. He is just a pure Mr. Perfect spelt with a capital P. Typical teacher. What are they doing on A.F.R. anyway, losers the whole lot of them helping young people to have a boring and unentertaining life

I disagree with you D2 and S.L.R. If someone has an idea of one or two questions that are coming up well then if they are serious they are going to prepare answers and work bloody hard to learn them. If a similar type question comes up in June the work done will have stood to them.

Finty lads don`t get tips for the mocks. They get the entire paper. Two schools near us are finishing their Leaving Cert mocks this week while ours don`t start until after mid term. It`s an almost total waste of time if lads get these papers and prepare them and then ask that they be corrected. It is in no way preparation for the real thing and most lads that do this usually find themselves panicking about a week before the real thing when they realise that there are no hints at that stage. Much better off having a cut at it, seeing what you do and don`t know and moving on from there.

D2, is there anyway after your` students`ve done their` mocks that you could throw up a list of the English Questions    (that being your` subject. see I took note from last June!   )    or topics or whatever they`re being called these days.

Be interesting to see how some on here    (I included   )    would get on at 10-15-20 Plus Years remove from the Education System in the likes of English, Maths & Gaeilge let alone the optionals like Geography, History, German, French, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Home Ec. etc.

As a bye your` leave, how many on here would`ve taken Home Economics as an elective thinking here we have a handy number to build up the points and get an A or B only for that not the case?
