    Not really an issue if they do cheat. Nothing gained only a false sense of security going into the actual exam

    @Dave.: “It’s not important what mark they get here, but it’s important they have a trial run for the real thing”… Except your at home, with unlimited time, not supervised and you can cheat if you want… ya great trial run of the real thing

    ‘ with parents given instruction on how to ensure “supervision and examination-style conditions” for their children to do the tests’
    Great to have impartial mothers and fathers on standby to ensure an honest approach.

    It is up to you if you want to use the opportunity to actually test yourself or if you want to use the books and pretend you know the material. It is your life and your path so either use opportunities to their full extent or take the easy route. You will reap what you sow either way.

    @Veronica: Back in the day we did them just before Easter. Now most schools do them before the February mid-term break. I think this place is a grinds setup though, not a school. Not seeing them listed on any list of schools.

    Quite late for mocks. Most schools did them before the mid-term break.
    Is this a grinds ‘school’? Handy free advertisement.
