Finishing Year 13 / Exam Results support thread (number 6!)

Good luck to those still going. DS is using his new found freedom to sleep.

Good luck to all those taking Geography or anything else today. Gather from DD still FM, and Computing going on next week.

Although DD finished, still going into school for one of her linstrument lessons and concert rehearsals. Leaves assembly / book return next week, prom week after, concerts week after that.

Books / papers remained untouched last night. Doubt she will have a burn up, not sure if resits could be on the cards., though don't quite see how that could work. Did a little bit of tidying while she was out, mainly to rescue DD2s (yr7) work that had got mixed up n the mayhem.

There's definitely a calmness about the place....

More revision for Further Maths here this weekend.
Good Luck to all with exams today.

Hope Geography goes well, and enjoy the freedom to those who finished yesterday or will finish today :)

DD1 has S2 on Monday - her plan is to revise on Sunday Well, it can't make a difference between A* and A, so she only needs about half marks to avoid a B.

Good luck to all the Geographers today & commiserations to anyone who will still have dcs revising over the weekend!

Littleham, Molio,
Just a short note to say I wish your (Littleham's) daughter all the best for Geography tomorrow and also to Molio's Ds. Your two DCs and mine made up the 3 history musketeers in an earlier incarnation of this (or actually I think one on the Higher Education thread ). Completely bonkers I know but I feel I just want to wish them both well. Good Luck x
Hocus

Well, DD1 & friends are out clubbing, hence I am awake worrying! Just found her phone which she has forgotten to take...so worrying even more.
Most of their year have some sort of holiday planned over the next week or two - some abroad, some camping, some renting a house etc., then she has the Leavers Ball in July and the school concert still to go. She was burning notes today. I did stop her and say DD2 may want them but apparently DD2's notes are far better!

Littleham we haven't had to resort to pleading so far but believe me I'm cheap - and prepared to try!

Last exam tomorrow - geog. Then off to see girlfriend and friends for the w/e, then prom, then Leavers Day, then Europe with mates, then a summer in Scotland with us and extended family. Then back home for the Day of Reckoning and after that who knows what?

All is calm here. DD has her final exam (Geog) tomorrow and is feeling chipper. Its the case study which is different every year so no past papers to practice. This year its a small African charity whose website crashed today under the weight of last minute geography A Level revisioners. Their two UK employees took to Twitter and spent hours and hours answering questions from students to help them. That was pretty awesome I think!

Last exam this morning (AQA Physics). OK apart from an astrophysics question that wasn't in the syllabus, apparently.
So now for DS it's just book return day and presentation evening next week, and prom the week after. Oh - and a clarinet exam in July. He can start practicing that now.
And I'm only going to be at the school 3 more times - presentation evening, last PTA social - and results day!

muffin ahhh my dd does the same, but mostly makes cookies and brownies for us to take to work with, but most of the time they are a bit burnt, mis-shaped or rock hard . It's the thought that counts

We have dd's leavers assembly tomorrow & had parents evening for new Y7s tonight. One in, one out!

Well that's it - all over! Last exam today - sociology - which she says has gone really well before Leavers assembly this afternoon.

14 years of school finished and it feels like only yesterday I was sending her off to Reception .

Whole new chapter of her life opening up for her now but first she is off to Harrods tomorrow to drink Champagne (friend's birthday treat).

Good luck to those that still have exams and see you in August for results day.

All done here. DD thought this morning's aper was OK, but says it's always hard to tell how she's done in physics.

No partying yet - she went to see a friend's new kitten this afternoon. Tomorrow meeting some friends for drinks, Race for Life on Saturday, off to Disneyland next week for a couple of days.

Summer Ball and leavers' barbecue still to come.

I am expecting a steady stream of home-made cakes now that she has time on her hands.

littleham good luck to your dd, its nearly the end hope she can make her last few exams a good one and gets the questions she wants to really nail it.

DD1 started on a course without a year abroad and then switched into the course with one in the second year.

If they join a course without a year abroad can't they switch to the course that has the year abroad after a few months?
DS was told he could do this at several universities when he visited.

Littleham York have had history V100 in clearing for the past 3 years so don't lose faith.

bigbluebus I know I was too, think she got too excited about end of exams for 2 of her subjects, got a bit over zealous and dumped all her work in the recycle bin! I think it must have given her some sort of mental relief or something. Can't get it back now bin man come and gone. Yet tell her to tidy her room is another matter definitely not as quick handed or with such enthusiasm . Hopefully your DS will over the next few weeks, may get bored with the amount of time off, and so have a epiphany, and hear the callings of him to go to university
nice cardigan maybe she wants to hang on to them to show her kids how hardworking she was. Mind you when you think it's taken them 2 years of hard work and slog, it seems a waste when they then throw all their work away, it seems a tad sad that they have nothing physical left to show for it

Oh no, DH was crying tonight after seeing the yearbook. Real proper sobs as he washed up after dinner. That set me off as I'd been holding it together although I felt really emotional today.

The pair of us are a wreck!

Ha ha NiceCardigan, I was chatting to a vet aged 50+ last night who still has all their notes from their vet training!

I wish DD2 would throw her A level notes away - she's just about to graduate so doesn't really need them!
