My two don't break up for Easter for another week.

DS1 had his final EPQ deadline yesterday, which he complied with by the skin of his teeth, following an IT malfunction the previous evening. Don't even get me started on how many times I've told him it would be a good idea to have a back-up.....

Back - my DD's 'applicant days' all included some form of interview, but afaik most don't. But there were also better lab tours than on the open day, chance to talk to students and staff, accommodation tours.

She started today requesting more leads for her mechanical pencil, hardly seen her since except a couple of times for food, but she's going to have tomorrow off and come out for a hilly yomp with us.

DS is focusing on his computer science project this holiday but he also has some maths papers to tackle too. I am trying to be interested and encouraging when he talks to me about it but not get too involved - if this goes well he will be miles away when he does his next exams!

Dd has one more applicants day and then hopefully we'll have a decision. She had mock lectures at the last one.

She has one more piece of work to finish her btec dance and then it's just 2 A levels to revise for.

Some of her school time has been really horrible, but it still feels like the end of something special.

I cannot wait to get this last bit finished!!!

Back, DD went on two Offer Holders Day - is it something similar? Hers were more about the course - lectures and stuff I think.

Teta, I have 2 revising DC too - As well as DD supposedly revising for her A's, despite still being pretty unwell, DS is working really hard for his GCSES too. I am NOT looking forward to mid May to late June!

TeenAndTween · 01/04/2017 16:45

Reading your y13 threads makes me exhausted. So glad my DD1 didn't attempt A levels (she wouldn't have succeeded) and is now on the downhill stretch of her BTEC.
Good luck to all the DCs for the exams.

dd is on an 'Applicants Day' today. No idea what that's all about - ds never had any of them. Any clues anyone ?

teta · 01/04/2017 16:13

Me too.
Anyone else starting to panic?
Dd 1 seems tired,morose and is Netflixing today as school finished yesterday.I have two revising kids this holiday and the other two are going overseas with dh to see his elderly Mum.
