Lol at the new found physics knowledge muffinmonster Smile

Sorry to hear about your DDs exam experience MrsBartlet it doesn't sound great.

We had the terrible suit shopping experience this morning and who knew that I was completely clueless about whether a dinner suit looked nice or not Hmm

Have just been testing DD on physics definitios for tomorrow's paper (also OCR here). It has done nothing to calm my nerves. On the plus side, I've learned more physics in the past hour than in the previous 30 years. Go on, ask me what a tesla is.

MrsB, so sorry that your DD had such a rough time with RS. I hope it all works out OK in the end.

DD is off to Disneyland for two days next week. Then I will be encouraging her to get some work, though I don't iknow how she will fit it around her various holidays.

All my (fake) positivity is deserting me and I am feeling very anxious about results day. Thank goodness for this thread so I can vent.

mumslife - they were entered for Edexcel RS Implications paper but the wrong option, as far as I can work out. Luckily they had spare papers for the 1 girl who was entered correctly or I don't know what they would have done. I have emailed the exams officer, so we shall see what they say.

Lovely to hear about those who have finished starting their celebrations. Dd has lovely things planned with her friends (including prom next week). She will now be able to see 2 of her best friends again who she was avoiding as they did the IB and finished weeks ago. She didn't want their holiday mood to distract her from revision!

Marking place so I don't get left behind. Good to hear that some serious relaxing is starting already.

Hope all goes well for those with exams still to sit.

Oh my goodness mrs B. I would definitely pursue it formally - with the school and with the cambridge college where the offer is. All the rigmarole these schools put our children through to make sure they do everything absolutely correctly. Totally unacceptable and incompetent for the school to then go and get something so basic wrong. At least the students spoke up instead of soldiering on.

We are done thank goodness. Biology aqa - not as bad as the last paper, which is good enough for me. We are sitting on a train travelling down to visit my mum whose in a nursing home before DD goes off for a break with her friends on sat. She's fast asleep next to me!

Wow this is thread is no 6 already!!

Thanks for thread Littleham. Wonder if we will fill it with all the partying exploits before results day.

Thats awful MrsB with the RS today. Hope it all turns out well and gets taken into consideration.

Good luck to all those DC who still have papers to go.
OCR Physics tomorrow, then DD done.

That sounds lovely Hellsbells! At least you can have the Wine! I would love one to celebrate, but need to collect DS later!
Best of luck to all still going, last big push!

Thanks Littleham. I an going to have a Wine and start relaxing now. DD has finished and I have a lounge full of girls (young ladies) drinking Pimms and eating burgers. They are a mixed bunch - 1 hoping to do medicine, 1 going to Manchester Met, 1 doing a stint of volunteer work in the third world through her church and all shades between. They are all lovely and all celebrating the end of exams and the relief whatever results day will bring.
