We plan a workshop before the mock exams. I found that, with 100 candidates, it is easier to present this to one or two classrooms at a time. The workshop goes more smoothly if you use two class periods. If students are still unsure about the rules after the workshop, send them to this link for **[|our special site about the IB exams].**

**Mock paper 1: [|Mock paper 1.pdf]**

 * 1) You will also need blank multiple choice answer sheets (MCQ). The IBO will send extra blank MCQs with your cover sheets; just take one of those blanks and make photocopies for your workshop.
 * 2) Read the instructions for Multiple Choice Examinations from Section G of the Handbook.
 * 3) Allow students to look at the Notice to Candidates during the "exam", but don't let them take too long.
 * 4) **Click here to see a slideshow** where you can check your answers.

**Mock paper 2: [|Mock paper 2.pdf]**

 * 1) You will also need blank cover sheets, answer sheets, and string tags. Before the workshop, punch holes in the cover sheets and question papers.Blank cover sheets are available from //IBNET-->Library-->Examinations//.
 * 2) Read the instructions for Examination Papers in Which Candidates Write Their Answers from Section G of the Handbook.
 * 3) use string tag

Calculators

 * 1) Before the workshop, tell students to bring the calculator the plan to use during the exams.
 * 2) Distribute copies of the calculator regulations (or post this on your own website): [|M08 calculators in exams.pdf]
 * 3) distribute large labels (e.g. 4cm x 8cm) with candidate numbers (last 3 digits) printed large. Don't let students do their own labels: they will write too small, use weird colors, decorate them, etc. You will use these labels to sort calculators after you have checked for non-approved applications.
 * 4) Students can learn to clear the memory and apps themselves. If they do this, it will be much easier for you to check them.
