Ds texted to say he was happy with his History. Fingers crossed for your dd1 Uhtred

Leeds2 · 10/06/2016 10:17

Good Luck to her, Uhtred. I think they all feel at least a bit better with one out of the way.

UhtredRagnorsson · 10/06/2016 09:47

DD1's first exam right now. History. Lot of nerves this morning. She deserves to do well but it doesn't always work out like that...

hellsbells99 · 10/06/2016 09:33

8 more to go for DD - next one is not until Tuesday, so a bit of a break.

LIZS · 10/06/2016 08:13

Today is the half way point. Last History exam then 3 more next week.

Another one whose son did AQA Geography today. Apparently it was "sick" - all the questions he wanted were on there so fingers crossed that his confidence is not misplaced.

That's because we have no RL friends. Wink

Any else's DC have geography this afternoon? Unit 3 (not sure what that is!). DC on this thread seem mainly to do maths and physics!!

hellsbells99 · 08/06/2016 22:36

DD did M1 today. She text me afterwards to say it was fine. I've not seen her as I am away working. She has a physics resit tomorrow which should be ok.

EllenJanethickerknickers · 08/06/2016 21:53

DS's physics is AQA. He looked at accommodation a while ago and is just putting them down in price order, single room, cheapest first. Smile

BethanKate · 08/06/2016 21:16

Yes DS just said he got email from Warwick. Not sure if he's decided on preferences yet.

He's doing Edexcel Maths & FM but AQA for Phys & Chem.

Those round here who did Edexcel M1 today thought it was really hard.

EllenJanethickerknickers · 08/06/2016 20:57

Warwick accommodation applications have opened. Though no big hurry as they don't do first come first served until after 1st August. DS1 is now searching for his 7 digit student ID number.

No FP2 yet here! Must be a different board. DS1 is doing MEI maths and FM and next exam is S2 next week, (after STEP.)

I'm sure DS1 will cope with a bit of disturbance as people finish exams.

Dunlurking · 08/06/2016 15:55

Anyone else's dc do M1 today? Ds reasonably happy except for a qu 3?, which had particles bouncing off a wall and friction to be allowed for Confused

kitkat1968 · 08/06/2016 15:42

FP2??? OMG I hope not. DS thinks he has no exams til next week!

BethanKate · 08/06/2016 12:56

FP2 went ok today, topic he found hardest didn't come up - phew.

Only another ten to go.

raspberryrippleicecream · 07/06/2016 08:39

EllenJane DS and DD are in the same hall a couple of times next week. DD has a change of exam during that time, which doesn't seem fair disturbance wise on DS!

Leeds2 · 06/06/2016 22:36

DD's first exam is this Thursday. I think it is geography.

EllenJanethickerknickers · 06/06/2016 20:22

Good luck all. No exams here until next Tuesday, 3 hour long STEP 1. DS1 is the only one doing it in his 200 strong Y13, and it's in the gym. Confused I guess there must be some other exams going on at the same time.

raspberryrippleicecream · 06/06/2016 12:20

DS has Geology this afternoon and on Friday. Think he will be glad to get it out of the way and he can concentrate onaths and Physics.

hellsbells99 · 06/06/2016 09:00

Yes, good luck for those with exams today.
DD's next one is M1 on Wednesday

AtiaoftheJulii · 06/06/2016 07:14

Does anyone have exams today? Good luck if so!

eatyourveg · 05/06/2016 20:43

I think if he is definitely going to opt for a deferment then I will suggest when he rings to ask if it is possible, he also asks the course tutor for the reading list.
