Mock 2's Paper A (3 Feb 2021)
"To allow candidates to test the system also close to the real examination conditions, a second mock (Mock 2) is planned for the week of 1 to 5 February 2021. The examination papers will take place during that week at the same week days and times as the real examination, see here." (see e-EQE webpage)
Today, 3 February 2021, Paper A of Mock 2 was organized, using the Wiseflow platform which will be used for the e-EQE 2021 in the week of 1-5 March 2021.
The epi Mock 2 Paper A is based on Paper A (CHEM) 2010, with:
(i) a few paragraphs omitted,
(ii) essential features expressed more explicitly,
(iii) chemical formulas spelled out.
The epi version of the paper (amended compared to the original) and the epi Compendium can be found on the epi website: here.
Addition (03-FEB-21, 4.40 PM; JK): some of you will have noticed that you should rapidly get rid of your persistent ALT-TAB habits. Hit it twice and you will be expelled from Lockdown.
Key combinations that you can safely use are CTRL-A, B, C, F, I, U, V, X, Y, Z and CTRL-SHIFT-V.
CTRL-SHIFT-V is very useful for pasting text copied from the letter/prior art PDFs without the formatting of the PDFs (such as hard line breaks).
General tips:
- You can open multiple tabs with the paper (Assignment), so this may help in simultaneously navigating within different sections, e.g., tab-1: clients letter, tab-2: D1, tab-3: D2
- Use a small size font for typing in your answer, this helps in keeping an organized view in the editor
- By using the various "header" styles of the editor, a table of contents is automatically created; however, it seems that jumping between various sections created by these headers does not work for everyone
- Don't waste time on building an overview of all features - effects - fallback positions in the editor. We still recommend organizing all information from the client's letter and the prior art on paper - as you would have done for the all-paper exam. The search option within the PDF browser may facilitate checking for features - including any indications of essential features ("must", "essential", "required" etc.) and advantages.
Please share your experiences with the platform, as well as any comments to the paper.
We allow you to post your comments anonymously, but it is recommended and appreciated if you identify yourself using your true name or a nick name - that makes communication much more pleasant and efficient than talking to "Anonymous 19 January 2021 22:23" and alike.
