Mocks= nasty, nobody in our school took it seriousley, people were actually SINGING during the exam, very very annoying :mad:

I'm sure you will pass maths though. You seem to understand the stuff though when I help you correct and explain things, etc...

Yes, I will pass the exam, it is just in the exam, I don't just soar through it, and am confident with it.
People took our mocks seriously, there were in the rooms that are used for GCSEs and we had the same timings and everything. Only annoying thing was the clicking of pens if people had fiinished and were bored.

Wait, I meant, I wouldn't feel confident after doing it.

Lucky you, all the way though my geography mock some annoying idiot kept calling my name and throwing chunks of rubber at me :mad:

Oh lovely! I can't think of anything too annoying in the mocks, although the waiting at the end was so boring. I finished with about 5/10 mins to spare in most of them, and I was just watching the clock! I check my work through once and then get panicky in case I have done something wrong. Then I write my name slowly and all the paper (apart from it'll be on a proper exam paper in the real things) and it seems like years before they say "Pens down"

Some of these stuff happend in my bro's mock exam last year (he's taking the exams this year). They got told off in the end I think. I don't know why students do these stuff though. :confused: Furthermore, this kind of situation happend in the real exam last year (the year 11's are now in year 12), and they didn't get disqualified.

I had to sit next to the same boy for every exam. When we had both finished we spent the time chucking a rubber between us. In our chemistry exam everybody finshed in an hour, and it was a hour and a half, so everybody kept coughing for hlaf an hour. I count the bricks in the wall if I'm bored!

Well, I am on the stage for my exams, and you can't really count any tiles or anything, just stare at the lighting (the coloured lights used for plays and stuff). Are you allowed ink erasers in the exam?

Nope. You just have to cross the wrong stuff out out with a pen.

I remember during my mock exam last year, this girl asked everybody to drop their pens at that time. At that time, everybody did it along with coughs. No one really cared as it's just a mock. We were in year 12, so they don't mind.

Oh dear, I'll be quite messy without an ink eraser. Oh well!!

Cross it out with 1 or 2 straight lines.

I know it could be messy, but that's the exam rules unfortunately. Don't know why we're not allowed to use ink erasers. :confused: In addition, remember to bring a see through pencil case. If you don't want to, just carry the stationary with you. Lastly, for maths, just bring the calculator without the calculator case.

Ah yes, I remember in the mock we had to put the calculator cases on the floor. I have got a see through pencil case. Lol, I highlight loads of things on my papers so they end up bright yellow or orange!

I suggest leave the calculator case at home for that day, as you don't need one.

Yes, throughout my exams, I am going to make sure my phone is locked away somewhere, I do take it to school, but just because I had sport a lot, and if a fixture was on or something. But I don't want to take the chance if I forgot I had it on me.
