Her levels seem fine - mostly 6's and 7's. Overall feedback at parents' evenings is positive.
I spent a lot of time helping her with her end of year tests revision and it seemed to me that there were major gaps in her knowledge. For example, she had no idea how to conjugate verbs in any of the tenses in her languages, basic vocab seemed to be missing and she didn't appear to know where to start with trigonometry.
She is very bright, astute, makes great verbal contribution to classes, is quick to pick up ideas, overall has great promise. However, I am seriously worried now that she is going to struggle with her GCSE's.
What can I do? What questions should be asking the school? I don't want DD to be one of those bright students who fail to reach their potential as per that report mentioned in an earlier thread. Apart from anything else, she will be so unhappy with herself.
Thanks.
