GCSE Mocks Help!

I have my GCSE mocks starting next week. I've predicted that they're gonna give us the GCSE Exam for 2024 students (Year 11- who are done with it) as the paper has not been released yet and they probably wouldn't want to give us a past paper as they know we practice those. So I would really appreciate if someone could help me out with which topics came in the chemistry mock this year and which ones didn't - if there were any past paper questions? It would really really help me out.

It is very unlikely that they will give you 2024 papers especially if there is no basis to think they will do this. 2023 papers also haven't been officially released(they are likely will be using 2024 paper for Year 11 mocks) yet but you can anyway find them online and these are the ones they are most likely to use. Although they can also used adapted papers, simply available ones from the past years or they can make papers themselves. In my school it depends on subject and even within one school it is done differently. The best thing to do is to ask the teacher for each subject what paper they are going to use, is it released/unreleased or they made it. From my experience they always tell! The most importantly, do no just assume they will give you one particular paper and prepare for it unless your teacher said it's going to be this particular paper.

Also, don't forget simply learning a marking scheme and getting a 9 on your mock doesn't mean you will get a 9 on the actual thing. You will still have to prepare for the exam a lot more!
