Thanks madhairday will look back....

Madhairday · 19/06/2017 23:10

Castle I think someone posted a video earlier in this thread somewhere for quick c2/c3 revision. DD in the same boat, just too hot to revise today after biology. she's worn out. I think she hasn't done enough for c3 at all. She's got all tomorrow to go for it but it'll be hot again...

AMilkyBrew · 19/06/2017 22:50

Another one here until next Monday (DT Product Design). DD would have finished all exams last Friday if it wasn't for this pesky final one...seems a bit strange to have to sit another exam AFTER her prom this week!

BringOnTheScience · 19/06/2017 22:29

Anyone else got FSMQ Maths tomorrow (Tues) afternoon? DC1's last one. Been revising hard, but they had no mocks at all so we really have no clue on potential Q styles or a target grade.

castleontheground · 19/06/2017 22:22

Oh dear. Very little revision gone in for Edexcel Chemistry C3. She too hot and too much to do and has had over 20 exams in the last few weeks and all her best friends have finished and had a pool party without her. I gave up trying to get her to do anything else tonight but she's left a hell of a lot for tomorrow. Any one know any online resources for C3 for cramming?

About 50% common grade boundary for A in Further Maths.

pointythings · 19/06/2017 17:00

DD said Chemistry was fine - no idea which exam board, but she's normally good at chemistry.

Just Physics on Friday now.

LIZS · 19/06/2017 16:57

Further maths done, she thought it fine others disagreed. Confused Ties and blazers off due to heat.

Just final 2 to go tomorrow ...

CrazedZombie · 19/06/2017 16:44

Ds was happy with OCR B7 too. It's been a big learning process for me too. How do I seem smart and get the word eutrophication in a sentence? 😂
2 more to go!!

Giddyaunt18 · 19/06/2017 15:57

poison that's what my DD said. She sat in the exam feeling her own arm lol!

poisonedbypen · 19/06/2017 15:36

OCR 21st century B7 here this morning. It was "good" except for having to draw tendons apparently. C7 & P7 to go...

Ontopofthesunset · 19/06/2017 14:57

Bertrand, I'd love to see your reading list when you've finished. DS2 could do with on too!

Good luck to everyone still revising and taking exams in this heat. DS has gone to a trampoline place for a friend's party today and then back to his house I think.

sluj · 19/06/2017 14:04

DS reports OCR Gateway chemistry was the hardest exam so far and his whole year thought the same. OCR physics on Wednesday then breathe....

FancyFingers · 19/06/2017 13:52

Thinking of those with dt next week, nearly there! Cake

pasanda · 19/06/2017 13:18

DS just did OCR gateway chemistry this morning and said it was really hard. Even his GF said the same and she is a brainbox!

He's now on the PS4, He has lost most of his motivation to revise for his last Physics on Wednesday. I can't blame him - it't too hot to do much at all! But I will gently encourage as it is sooooo nearly over Grin

Giddyaunt18 · 19/06/2017 13:03

DD home sunbathing after OCR Biology 7 this morning. She said it was ok. She was up until 1 am cramming. 2 more papers to go, nearly there.

Madhairday · 19/06/2017 12:57

Don't know why that posted twice.

Madhairday · 19/06/2017 12:56

Oh poor DCs with product design next week! That's so unfair!!

DD said b3 was ok but she 'flunked the last question.' something about fermentation?? She said everyone seemed to struggle with that one.

settledandsmug · 19/06/2017 12:48

I'm here until Monday for DT Product Design also. DS is desperate to be celebrating and was out Friday as many friends had finished, wants to be out tomorrow also as a number of friends finish after history. I, however, am trying to keep him in exam mode as he has a revision session the next morning. Lots of battles!

rainbowjoy · 19/06/2017 12:46

I'm still here until Monday Aqa design Technology product design ! Think of my poor ds

Danglingmod · 19/06/2017 12:13

Ds...

Danglingmod · 19/06/2017 12:12

Day sat that board, ifonly, but isn't a triple scientist!

Laniakea · 19/06/2017 12:08

I'm still around sending sympathy for the heat & pollen. Hope the week flies by for all the dc still working Flowers

ifonly4 · 19/06/2017 12:05

DD just got back. She's happy with B7, although, none of them had come across the wording "harvest cycle" on the last 6 mark question, so didn't really understand it. How did everyone else get on?

Dancer - thanks for your support. What's happening in your household this week?

found - what exam if your ds doing tomorrow? Good luck to him.
