Hi
Apologies if this has been done this year, but I found a similar thread very supportive when DD started the exam treadmill (not at Uni) and we are about to start again with DS.

Milliboy is 15, late Summer baby so cannot get a job until the end of the Summer hols, when they will have all gone. Good news is - this gives him more revision time Grin

He is at a boys selective Grammar school, so the pressure is on to achieve. He also wants to aim for a decent Uni so understands that good GCSE grades are vital.

Still doesn't make the whole process any easier for him or me :)

Who else has boarded the 2011 Exam Express?

DS has Physics coursework this week but his main mocks are in Feb.

Does your DS know what A levels he is aiming for?

Hi Milliways, can I join too please?

DS2 has been sitting his addditional science exams this week, then will take the triple science in the summer, along with the rest of his GCSEs.

He is in Y11 at the local comp, amd is expected to achieve high grades, before taking A levels.

Please can I have a ticket near the bar on the exam express? Grin
