We seem to have reached the limit on the other one!

busy deciding....

I wasn't sure if it would make her too tired

nostress · 13/06/2014 10:55

Yeah! Why not?? What are you seeing?

KatyMac · 13/06/2014 10:15

Tell me what to do - DD has her last GCSE today and then has class all afternoon today & a show (to watch) tonight.

Tomorrow I'm driving to London for her class & she needs to be in Norwich by 10am on Sunday for a practise before her last dance exam

Do we stay in London & see a show on Saturday night as a post exam treat? (there are reasons why this is the only night it can be done)

I made my eldest pose for a "last day in uniform" photo last year, and I expect I will with dd2 next Thursday too :)

Good luck to all those doing Maths today!

Nocomet · 13/06/2014 07:53

Just seen DD in her uniform for the last time (sixform more informal and a different colour)

Next time I see her she'll have changed to go by DH birthday/farther's day gifts.

Sort of Sad

Maths this morning. At least it's the last maths paper. DS not looking forward to it. Mind you it would be odd if he were I suppose!

DS doesn't communicate either, other than OK.

Biology and the two Italian exams were OK

Chemistry, Physics and Further Maths x 2 next wee, Plus Leavers day (fancy dress and fair rides) and prom at the end of the week.

Best1sWest · 12/06/2014 21:49

One more day in this rubbish dump

Is what I remember EYV.

eatyourveg · 12/06/2014 20:39

B4/C4/P4 good today - much better than the threes

One more day to go
one more day of sorrow
one more night for revising maths
and it'll all be done tomorrow Grin

(Can't remember how the real 3rd line went).

sunshinecity17 · 12/06/2014 19:33

AQA Physics- good but more writing questions and fewer calculations than past papers according to DS

Lancelottie · 12/06/2014 18:28

Physics was 'medium-ish' according to ever-informative DS.

I am in awe of these children who come home and really communicate about their exam papers.

nostress · 12/06/2014 18:01

Physics ok but definitely got two wrong! He put right answer then crossed it out to put wrong, he did that in biology too. Oh well its done. I'm praying he gets his predicted as he is so focused on wanting to do biology at A level. Only maths tomorrow to go! Oh and all the acting coursework!

MissScatterbrain · 12/06/2014 17:39

Feedback from DC. Physics was good but Computing (OCR) was a bit hard - no doubt due to lack of revision Hmm

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 12/06/2014 17:33

Bio today, think it was ok. Maths tomorrow then I think maths, chem and physics. This time next week...

Leeds2 · 12/06/2014 17:33

DD's physics was IGSCE. Also did WJEC Latin.

Just biology left now on Monday. Don't think she is planning on doing much before Sunday.

Nocomet · 12/06/2014 17:30

DD says she actually needed her extra time (OCR additional physics), they actually wanted some equations and some calculations. I think thats a shock after Chemistry gave them the answers.

Maths tomorrow and She's Done!

She suspects that some of her ckassmates were planning to watch the World Cup opening rather than revise.

I fear beer will be drank and there will be some pupils not feeling like getting up.

FINISHED what a relief ........DS found computing good so we can end on high note and chill until august. WineCakeFootball

YeGodsAndLittleFishes · 12/06/2014 16:00

AQA for physics for us this morning.
Edexel Maths tomorrow.

ABRSM music theory, then we're done.
DD already booking her time ahead for voluntary work and meet ups with friends here and there as shift to no more exams potentially more stressful for her. Roll on results day so we can know for sure where A levels will be.

TweeAintMee · 12/06/2014 15:59

iEdexcel here. Just Biology 2 to go on Monday morning.

MissScatterbrain · 12/06/2014 15:07

Edexcel here too Unxpected.

Thanks Morvah and Sausage.

Unexpected · 12/06/2014 14:59

Anyone doing Edexcel Physics this morning? DS1 said it was" relatively good" but some hard 6 mark questions.

bruffin · 12/06/2014 14:54
