Countdown to exam results. Anyone else feeling anxious?

DD2 has A2 results next week but as HOD English I have nearly 400 GCSE results to worry about and after last year's debacle I am petrified, can't sleep and counting the hours. Fortunately DD has an unconditional offer and if she doesn't get 2E's I think I will just give up. She is blissfully unconcerned!

Thank you Doc - children are amazing creatures!

Waiting for gcses here.
She got her maths in April ( a miracle) so that particular stress is out of the way.
Dd has severe ocd, and exams are not a good situation, but has been allowed to sit them in a separate room (with all the other loonies, as she cheerfully said) and it wasn't too bad.

Fingers crossed for everyone.

Hepsi, and Ilove, so sorry you and your Dc's have had to go through this, and to then try to carry on with all the schoolwork and exams. Their fathers would be enormously proud of them, whatever their results xxx

Aw Ilove, I feel for your DD2, I do. Mine have got there through sheer determination and know just how very proud their Dad would be. Squeezes to you and your DD.

Hepsi I really sympathise. my DD2 is awaiting her results and everyone is expecting her to do as well as DD1 and DS but her darling dad died and she has found it so difficult. I find it so annoying that people expect a 16 year old to deal with this and A levels without a pause. She has been amazing but give her a break!!!

Hello. Started a thread but lovely circular kindly directed me to here, thank you C.

We're A levels (DD2) and GCSEs (DS) this year. Last year DD1 was playing the waiting game and she has now just finished her first year at Bristol.

DD2 is not really a stress tbh as she's likely to have aced the lot - she got five As at AS level last year, and will be off to Exeter.

DS reckons he's up for As in history, geog and business studies, which are his preferred A levels. He only took core maths and science, so the rest of his subjects will likely be a mix of B and C. He's really struggling with himself tbh as he follows hot on his sisters' heels and thinks because he won't get top marks in all subjects like them that he's a bit crap. He's finding it so hard and nothing I say will make him see otherwise .

I'm so proud of them whatever they achieve. They've had a really shit 18 months since their wonderful dad died and amaze me continuously with their resilience and determination.

waiting for A2's and AS's and GCSbloodyE's in our house,

nightmare

Another Ds with ASD here. Not looking forward to AS results day. He has struggled with the difference between GCSE and AS level work. I know he will be disappointed if (as expected) his results are bad and this will lead to him not trying unless I'm very careful.
Doesn't help that older DS is super clever and gets good results without really trying.

Anxious? Hmmm......resigned is more accurate

DS1 is likely to have scraped a C in most subjects. I hope he has at least. He only needs 5 A-C grades to get into college which I am fairly confident he will get, but will have to do his GCSE English again if he doesn't get a C. He had already had his maths result last year.

ds doesn't know when his result is due or whether he collects it or it will come in the post!

The schools website is no help either.

I am curious, but no one else in the house cares. DD did modular GCSEs, so we have a pretty clear idea about expected grades.

Waiting for A2 on the 15/8. My DD who never shows nerves over anything bit my head off yesterday over a very simple question about her accommodation so I think she is very stressed indeed.

See you here on 15th! :)

OH Katie it will be fine honestly

waiting for A2s. Apparently the unis get the results this sunday.
More excited than anxious here!

It's tomorrow here and I have two getting results. I feel sick

Hi Milliways!

dd1 waiting too. It seems like only a couple of years since we were doing a secondary transfer thread for them...

Hi there

Another one here awaiting A level and GCSE results.

Ds1 is lovely but feel that he's not ever worked hard enough over the last 2 years and if he gets BCC I'll be thrilled, not that he knows what he wants to do apart from go to Camp America next year!

We're expecting ds2 to have done well in his GCSE's but you never want to take anything for granted do you.

I'm starting to feel quite nervous.

We're waiting for A2 and AS results next week and then GCSE results the following week. DD is actually quite anxious for next week, but DS not bothered!

We are waiting for A level results, Uni places awaited etc.

Ds is certainly getting anxious about A2 results on 15th.

Keep calm and carry on everyone, what's done is done, and all those other cliches!

This morning...

Me: Remember, you need to keep 22nd free
Ds1: why, what's happening on the 22nd? (brain cogs start whirring) it's not your birthday is it??

Erm it's just me getting anxious in our house then ...

scottish standard grades are out on tuesday dd is beside herself as some of the results need to be a 1 or 2 for her to do her Highers I am confident she will do well though, it is the waiting that is worse than the actual result , she says hopefully

I'm feeling a bit anxious and its not even my DC .

Bfs DS gets his A Level results on 15/8 - am really hoping he gets what he needs to go to university. Can't imagine what I'll be like when its my DC although have a few years to go for that.
