Thought it might be an idea if now that the trials are well and truely over, that we could all post the different essay questions that we got so that other people (like me, who doesn't have a clue) can practice these essays.

Also, if anybody has any questions used in last years trials or knows where you can get them from, that would be great too!

Yep here here, I was wondering what the King Lear Question was for the Independent Trial Paper that was just done?

 

[halo_fourteen]

I did catholic sorry.

For those of you that want to know the questions for the Catholic trial... will I get in trouble if I tell you?

No, you can't get in trouble because all of the Catholic papers are done on the same day so they are all over. For example, our school did this year's Physics exam and our Physics teachers have already given us the CSSA 2002 Physics exam to practise on.
