Currently going through my first set of Mocks in year 11 which end next week. Even though they're really annoying 
I think they help get used to the routine, at least for me they do. So I wanted to get an idea of how many there'll be before the actual exams.

But this differs from school to school so I dunno about your school specifically. However, expect a ton of past papers up until GCSEs even if they aren't officially called 'mocks'

Well my school only did one set of mock exams in December, but through out the rest of the year we constantly focused on just past papers (Except for history since my teacher taught us the wrong unit :/)

I had two sets. One before Christmas and one just before Easter.

We had the main ones in December of all subjects, and then ones just for Maths and English at the end of March which were more accurate predictions

Hi,
Thanks for your comment!
Normally, I think its fair to say that 3 sets of mocks for each subject are enough! (I know this means a lot of revision and hard work) Although this may differ from school to school.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Good question.
Back in GCSEs, my school had Christmas mocks (penultimate week before we broke up) and March mocks. However, there were numerous assessment weeks in between.

There is one official mock exam which will be the expected grade for the final. It is the official one the school/college puts forward to the examining board as part of the course, and the one they fall back on if you don't attend or need a remark etc.
The others are just practice papers. I did 4 practice papers and 1 mock before my final exam last year.
The official mock is done under exam conditions sometimes in the place you will take the exam or in the class room, it just depends on the school/college.
