Year 12 preparing for AS levels

AS exams quite nicely spaced out here for DD too, I think only a couple a week, although possibly sometimes three including General Studies.
I'm hoping that will help a lot when we get to them, giving her some revision time between exams. She's been quite panicky at times recently, much more so than last year, which she seemed to take a lot more in her stride.
I'm not sure what's changed for this year - I guess she is just finding the courses more challenging.
On the calendar I'd say it doesn't look too bad this year. She's got Art first starting April 29th So we're a bit Art focused ATM
Yesterday she was talking about the possibility of re-doing the year which seems slightly drastic for her. I kind of said to just do her best, though I know it can be reassuring and sensible to know what your options are (hopefully I said that too)

Are these As exams you're all talking about?Dd1 only has one subject with an AS level this year.I have no idea how many exams she has for this : neglectful mother alert.

Am currently trying to cope with a highly manipulative,challenging ,very clever year 7 dd2.I've taken her phone off her but she still isn't cooperating .She will argue relentlessly over everything and is very wearing.I'm glad dd1 is relatively easy ,( touch wood).

HSM, DD is of her bf who is doing his actual A'levels and is doing BTEC sport for one of them - so only 2 subjects with exams to revise for! I will be bearing all this in mind for DS next year

2 Maths on one day, Horse

DD has 8 - 4 each week, 2 for each subject I think.

She has just made me test her on some History - I think panic is beginning to set in.

DS has 10 in total, with 5 in the first week.

Yep, 2 Maths and a History one in the afternoon; all 1.5 hrs each, poor lad.

Horse
DD has 2 on 2 Mondays, I think. She starts (like DS with his 2 GCSEs) on 16th May and finishes the day before half-term - phew!

3 in one day?

Dd has two on one day and one the next day but three in one... sheesh!

DS has had his exam timetable - he has 3 on one day!
His first exam is 17 May and last is 17 June.

Oh no HSM

DS(Y10) said his maths teacher who he really liked was leaving at Easter - must check what the story is now.

Oh, and she passed her coaching exam yesterday - hooray!
Fingers crossed for your DDs ballet exam juggling.

Definitely good experience Littleham. And you never know re the reserve list.

Well DD ended up going on the uni fair trip and has come home with a bag full of prospectuses which I have been enthusiastically leading through Now to get her to sign up for a couple of open days!

The interview was for a leadership / confidence / outward bound type of course but I don't think she will get it because they asked her if she would be happy to go on a reserve list. Good interview experience though.

My two are back to school tomorrow.

I feel a bit sorry for them. Although they've been revising during their break, they've done plenty of relaxing and socialising too. It's the hard road now.

I'm off away with work on Tuesday. DH is taking time off/working from home to make sure someone's around so I don't feel bad about it. The production company haven't yet decided which office we're all heading to. I wihs they would so I know what to bloody pack!

Giggling and jumping around course - yes DD and DS are doing that one together I think It's quite sweet when it's not incredibly frustrating, and they really should be doing something else. Don't they sometimes seem still so very young as teens?
Just picked up DD from her ballet exam and she was all bouncy and dancey as she often is when I pick her up from ballet. Brilliant! And she said it went pretty well so that's encouraging for her amidst all the slightly more stressy revising for AS stuff.

Holidays have also seemed interminable here.All 4 are back to school on Monday.Last minute homework being done with dd2 holding a homework club in her room with 3 of her ' closest' friends.There seems to be a lot of giggling and jumping arround.

Littleham what was your DD's interview for?

BTM - lol at the idea of mini-Ono, he is 6ft tall

Finally back to school for DS2 on Tuesday, the Easter hols have really felt interminable (I've had one off continuously since Maundy Thursday, not great when you work from home).

DS is doing some revision today but has DofE training all day tomorrow which he isn't best pleased about having finally found the revision mojo! And he has yet another sore throat

That is bad luck ono.

dd3 got through her interview. Not expecting too much but she at least she did it!

No, not great timing for mini-ono and his classmates.

DD has a compulsory trip to a uni fair on Monday and isn't keen - says it's taking up her "free" afternoon which she would use to revise. DH has said it's not worth going, but I think she needs to start to engage with what's on offer. She has still not booked any open days

ono have they finished the course? That's the main thing.

Everything ok here. DC went on four day DofE expedition so DH and I went away for a few days. Lovely weather so long walks on the beach etc.

DD has asked to be woken at 8.10am this morning . Random but there you go. So I will shout her now.
