Examcraft’s Delivery Commitment to Schools We are proud of our tradition of early delivery of papers, well in advance of the mock exams. However, in recent years, actual delivery times seem to have increased due to online shopping and more disruptive weather events. To eliminate any stress caused by delayed deliveries, we are introducing further delivery commitments to get your papers to you well in advance of your exam start date. Here’s how it works: •
From November 14th, the mock papers will be available online for teacher review.
•
Order by November 23rd, and you will have the option of receiving your papers before the Christmas holidays.
•
Order by December 18th, and your papers will be dispatched the week of January 11th, well ahead of the mocks.
By ordering early, you guarantee early delivery and a stress-free run-up to your mock exams. Key dates to remember:
Exam paper orders received by November 23rd will be dispatched before Christmas if requested by the school.
Exam paper orders received by December 18th will be dispatched to schools in the week beginning Jan 11th.
Exam paper orders received after January 6th will be dispatched within 7-10 working days.
If you would like a member of our team to visit your school or call you to discuss our mock exam offerings, email info@examcraft.ie or call 01 808 14 94.
Register Online to View Papers Please advise teachers to register on www.examcraft.ie to view mock papers online. This will ensure all teachers have access to the papers as soon as they become available.

Option B Explained In some subjects we offer two mock examination papers. This gives teacher a greater choice of paper allowing them to select the paper that best suits their students, based on the content they have covered in class. Where we have two papers, we call the first paper, Option A and the second paper Option B.
Free answer booklets are sent out with each order of exam papers, where they are required. All the remaining subjects are answered within the exam paper.
Security of Mock Exam Papers 1
Mock exam secretaries can now verify, from their own account, any new teachers in their school who need online access to view mock papers. Our system will then notify us, and the teacher will be given access.
2
As always, we ask that you check the list of all teachers registered with your school and delete any that are no longer teaching there.
3
Once the papers arrive in your school, please ensure they are stored securely and not accessible to students.
