Sign in here if your child is in Yr11 - taking GCSE's this Summer.

We've only got one more to do as well - German, next Monday. However school is now being arsy about the boys being needed for a 20 minute choir practice at lunchtime for leavers day 3 days a week between now and end of term.

Neither they nor I are impressed - we both work (me from home) and don't see why we should take that amount of time out right in the middle of the day. The choir leader said they could come in all day and take part in the activities on offer - which on investigation are swimming if they can get a life guard, watching dvd's, helping with the junior school, or loitering in the school ground - loadsa fun!

I really don't feel inclined to push them on this, but don't want to make it awkward for our youngest who will still be at the same school. Why can't they just leave them to relax once they've finished?

Emmspemms, yup my boys are off to a w/end do at someone else's house. They will be reasonably close however as they are all camping in some field - I shudder to think what will be happening, and am very grateful that I will only have 6 of them overnight at some point in the next couple of weeks.

One more for my son...June 28th AQA Physics! An 11 day gap! Hope momentum keeps going!

Geography today ,now it's all over until we have results day .
They went out to celebrate at Pizza Express, they all had dough balls. He he. Big spenders.
Party tomorrow night as some deluded family have gone away and left dear boy at home .
EMPTY.
Oh well , it could happen to any of us,
Hope everyone one has the results needed, will catch up in August.

DS2 has just german left now - one exam next week, and one the week after, so he's off out tonight to a party he has been working hard though so it seemed a bit mean to say no (soft parent emoticon)

Clever boy mumblechum, dd is the opposite A A* in all the others usually, but maths,sciences are not great :( Not a clue what she wants to do though.

Mabs. Medicine, though I have serious doubts that he has the work ethic. He'll probably get A*/A for all the stuff that matters, ie all sciences, both English,Maths and History so he doesn't bother about the rest, really.

Well, if she did it was very secretly done! Maybe 91 mins if that ;-) Wants to do A level Geog so a bit more effort would have been nice, she has to get an A Grade. What does yours want to 'study' Mumblechum?

Milliways, DD said the higher language paper was "not as bad" as she was expecting but has "no idea" how well or badly she may have done! It was the paper she was dreading most, she's quite looking forward to the set texts next week. She has had a day off today, just has the two remaining Latin papers next week and then it's all over and nail biting time!

Your dd has probably done more than 90 minutes revision, MABS . I just called ds and he said "it was all right" which is code for "I messed it up because I couldn't be arsed to revise and am going to get a C"

dd said geog was very good today...whatever that means.

DS had biology on Wednesday and also said it was a piece of piss. He says that about all of them, though, except the Edexcel non calculator paper.

Geography today, for which he started revising yesterday and did a grand total of 90 mins revision , then History next Wednesday but he will work for that because he's taking it at A Level.

DS's last exam today - Geography.
Trouble is, very few of his friends finsih today, so there won't be much celebrating, and by the time they do finish, it will be a bit of an anticlimax for DS.

impetus is decidedly lacking chez-nous

dd was doing so little work today i decided she'd be better off 'cleaning' her bedroom. Please note inverted commas.

only geog and hist left

I'm with you, Cupawoman - we're the last, I think, DD has Stats on that Monday. She does have one final Maths module to do, too. And she is finally on Exam Leave!

Just seen DD2's latest Facebook statement posted 20 minutes ago (she's a boarder) "dear cheif examiner for OCR latin if you have made the exam tomorrow ridiculously easy you are a wonderful person... if not... I'll cry :'( why oh why did I take this subject?!" Now I feel sick

*says, not say's, I've got runaway fingers today.

Final Biology for my son today which he say's was "really easy". German next Monday, then the following Monday Stats and German again. After that, let the celebrations commence

last proper one Fri!! then just chem retake 28 June :)

*modules!

Capiche yes, freestanding module OCR.

FrozenChocolate That sounds similar to my son but as another poster said earlier on this thread (Mumblechum, I think) they have already completed so many moudles/coursework, that hours of endless revision may not be necessary for some DC.

History today which like Milliways Ds went really well for DD. Chemistry tomorrow and then she's finished until she goes to college in October.

Unfortunatly we didn't research the results date so DD will miss going into school with her friends as we're away then :(

Ooh just seen this, can I join? Ds has done nearly everything but with very little revision. He has gone to revision classes at school but has not done anything at home. I feel like crying.

those who did maths on Monday - was it 'freestanding module ocr'?
