Year 12 preparing for AS levels

DS finished yesterday product design and maths - both difficult! He slept for many hours last night ( and this morning)

Oh God Dingit, DD would HATE that!

Irian, at least it's "only" an AS level, s "only" one year - I hated Chemistry after I had started (only took it because I hated my O'level English teacher) - did no work bar going to the lessons/homework. Complete waste of time

Oh no wish I hadn't looked at thread. Dd is in isolation until her PE exam, so I won't know. Bet it's killing her not having her phone glued to her hand

DD is dropping physics - she has wanted to since just after she started it so decided on tactical revising - ie ignoring physics to spend more time on the more important subjects. She took the AQA paper today and was really miserable - she knows she has done badly and it doesn't matter that much but it goes against the grain!

Which board did he do?

dd3 says that everyone hated her Physics exam (AQA) but that she found it much better than the two specimen papers.

Verdict on Physics - 'not fun'.

Oh dear.

Tillymint, your DD is very resilient!

DS is ok thanks - just a cough, nothing worse - but was very quiet this morning.

I feel very nervous for him. He so badly wants to do well, and aim for a science degree at university.

Good Luck to all Physics-takers and for any other exams.

Liney, hope your DS is OK.

DD seemed quite upbeat last night - I think she was mainly relieved that it was the wrong paper, not her not knowing the answers IYSWIM! Thankfully the next exam is tomorrow afternoon, but then her last one is Thurs morning, so she needs to do a bit for that too today.

Physics too for dd3. Three of my dc doing major exams today. Even ds is doing exam revision.

House looks like a bomb has hit it as I stupidly decided it would be a good time to decorate (as none of us can go anywhere at the moment). Am at that regretting having started stage.

Hope your dd is ok this morning bigTilly.

Physics this morning.

DS has woken me up coughing. Not a good sign.

Well done to your dd BTM, she rose up in the face of adversity and did herself (and you) proud

Oh My God BTM what an absolute nightmare and you must be so proud of your DD that she just put it behind her and went straight back in to do the correct paper. Definitely worthy of a special treat this weekend, methinks.

Dd has a clash tomorrow and has to be in isolation for lunch. Her packed lunch has to be in a clear bag. She even wants her mini roll unwrapped and put in tin foil. I did point out she wouldn't manage to get the answers to Physics A level on a mini roll wrapper

Well done your Dd Big Tilly y Dd is horrified on her behalf

What a nightmare bigTilly good on your DD for pulling it together!

Well DD finished her AS exams today. Music was described as "not awful"with some nice essays and an easy 4 part.

Psychology 2 "went very well" and this from a girl who always sees on the side of caution when talking about how an exam went so that sounds promising.

She has an A2 Geog skills paper in a few weeks time ( because they have done the field work this year) but she's not too worried about that as unlikely to carry on with Geog anyway.

So now the agonising wait till August 18th for the Results. Good luck to all the DC s with exams to come!

She did it! She did it! So proud of her. She was fine when she came out, and her lovely friends had waited for her (stayed revising in the library) so they have gone off to get chicken and chips as a treat!

As there were only 2 of them given the wrong paper (2 Y13's were doing the AS resit - they gave it to DD and the other girl too - surely they clocked there should have only been 2 of them doing that one?) she said nobody else looked baffled so she thought it was just her and just tried her best. I think she must have been mighty relieved when she realised it wasn't her but the wrong paper.

She came back so soon after the end of the exam, I don't think there was an issue with "cheating." I think DH would be down the exam board PDQ if they tried to claim that!

BTM, I haven't got words A huge well done to your DD for getting on with it.

btm .

I hope she's okay!

BTM. But seriously impressed with your DD, she is a STAR, bless her.

OMG btm that's outrageous the examination officer is so in the wrong. My big concern would be the comment that she was talking to someone who'd just done the paper, that could cause problems if it gets said to the Board. Don't want to scare you or DD and would hope school know better than to mention it.

Hope it all went OK in the end.

bigTilly That sends shudders down my spine. Your poor daughter.

bTM,

Yep, doing it right now. She will get special consideration and I think the Exam Officer said something about the Exam Board making adjustments or something.

I am sooooo proud of her - she was in bits but she still got herself together to try again.
