Sorry that was for MissScatterbrain

Morvah DS did AQA physics

MissScatterbrain ours was physics OCR - our DCs seem to have been doing very similar boards for most things from reading your posts. I'll have some company next week anyway!

Physics OK here too, but we've still got maths tomorrow, biology and chemistry next week, and then more physics and statistics the following Monday! I'm so envious of anyone finishing this week. I fear I shall be the only one left on the thread by the 23rd!

Katy glad DD was OK - what a relief.

For those who did Physics today - which board and paper was it?

No news yet from DC. Next week is Biology 2 and Chemistry 2 - both nicely spread out over the week.

bruffin · 12/06/2014 14:22

DD was pleased with physics as well. Last exam tomorrow and we have another week of DS A2 levels and thats it and can relax until August.

TweeAintMee · 12/06/2014 13:01

Yup, Physics good here too. Just Biology left on Monday.

sausagedog12 · 12/06/2014 12:48

Physics was good according to DS. One left this afternoon I bet he can hardly contain himself!!!!

mummytime · 12/06/2014 11:35

Oh I really hope DD found it Good too, she didn't like the Chemistry earlier this week. I haven't seen her yet.

KatyMac · 12/06/2014 11:35

She thought it was 'good' - and managed fine; but she was in the main hall and no isolation at all, just at the front and close to the door

YeGodsAndLittleFishes · 12/06/2014 11:32

Physics was 'just' unit one and was 'easy' and DD happy with it. One mire here too. I rwmembered to get some Piriton for tomorrow, now that the sun is out again. We've both had horrible hay fever on hot days so far this year.

marymoocow · 12/06/2014 11:20

DS home, AQA physics was 'good'. Beginning to think that is the get out patter to prevent further inquisition and worryGrin .
One to go.....

YeGodsAndLittleFishes · 12/06/2014 09:27

Glad she is up to going in, katymac and that her dad can take her. :)

Physics here too this morning. DD has done the best she can with revistion, but her Physcs has been less than organised and so it has not been as popular as Chemistry with her, but still will do both for As, all being well.

Not had too many nightmares myself, mainly due to me net sleeping well lately.

MrsMaturin · 12/06/2014 08:31

Dd was ok. Physics is her least favourite science so less pressure oddly Hmm

MorvahRising · 12/06/2014 07:43

DS slightly less relaxed about the physics this morning. Hmmmph. Perhaps if he had done a tad more revision last night . . . ? Can't really complain though, he's been working so hard on the whole.

AtiaoftheJulii · 12/06/2014 07:41

I haven't fretted too much, but dd2 said to me yesterday that she'd dreamt that her History teacher (who's one of her absolute favourites) had called me and dh into school to tell us that dd2 couldn't do A level History because she just wouldn't be able to manage it, and she was disruptive in class!

KatyMac hope your dd is doing ok and makes it through Physics successfully xx

DD2 has OCR Gateway Biology this morning, then nothing till Monday. (Birthday tomorrow! She was chuffed not to have an exam on it :) )

KatyMac · 12/06/2014 07:27

Transport features heavily in my nightmares too

MissScatterbrain · 12/06/2014 07:26

Another relaxed DC here Hmm Physics and Computing today.

Nocomet · 12/06/2014 07:07

Fortunately we've had our later afternoon exam. Car deciding not to work or the keys vanishing is my nightmare too.

No public transport and organising a taxi out here takes 1/2 a day. I guess she'd have to take her bike. However, she's not particularly fit, it's six hard work miles.

sausagedog12 · 12/06/2014 07:00

Hope she's better soon and doesn't spoil her exams. I must admit this has been one of my nightmare scenario's together with car/bus breaking down with much worse disasters that I won't go in to.......

KatyMac · 12/06/2014 06:32

Ah I have more info now she has calmed down

She coughed up coloured phlegm yesterday & we were going to try & see a GP today for anti-biotics; this morning she got up with tummy pains (period?) went downstairs & took some ibuprofen & OJ - & promptly threw up

A hot bath & she feels a bit better - paracetamol soon & her dad will take her to school rather than the bus - not sure yet what we say to school - there is a bug going round but I'm not sure if she has it or not

MorvahRising · 12/06/2014 06:29

katy fingers crossed she's OK.

OP posts:
KatyMac · 12/06/2014 06:20

I hope she is going in - she is a lot brighter now

I wonder if it's stress, maybe?

Or if she threw up because of a chest infection/phlegm?

mummytime · 12/06/2014 06:18

Oh no!
I can remember being very relieved when my DS vomited at 2 am just in the start of a 3 days break between exams. his little sister had already had the Tummy bug, so I was just relieved he got it during the break.

Best1sWest · 12/06/2014 06:14

Oh no. Will she be up to going in? Ring the school as soon as you can. They might be able to arrange for her to sit them away from the rest of the class if she is.
