Im.in trouble as the tv kept dd2 awake last night. Hope adrenalin keeps pumping for yhe exam

We've got Biology 2 and 3 today. My ds decided that as he had done some revision at school yesterday after maths it would be ok for him to practise his guitar playing instead of doing any more last night. Just 6 more to go next week... Then dd has her remaining A levels. Stress!

cantkeepawayforever · 09/06/2017 08:28

Counting today, 10 more (more papers than that, but some are 2 in 1 session, like the listening+reading for a language)

Chemistry here today and thanks for the new thread. DD very interested in politics but we were all despondent about the Tory landslide so all went to bed. That will teach us!

Ontopofthesunset · 09/06/2017 08:26

Only four more exams here!

cantkeepawayforever · 09/06/2017 08:25

Next Friday is the end of the main period for us - but as DS does a rather niche language, his oral kicked off his exam period a week before anything else and the writing isn't till the middle of the week after next...

Laniakea · 09/06/2017 08:18

dd has B2 & B3 (AQA), it shouldn't be a problem - biology is one of her strongest subjects but I don't think she slept much at all last night but is still pretty blase Confused If she messes this one up I will struggle to be sympathetic

18 year old came back from university to vote and has been up all night. He moved from beer to tea at about 4 when I went to bed. DS2 - the examinee - went to bed about midnight. Could have been worse.

Morning all & thanks for the new thread.
🍀 To all today, biology & business studies today here.
It will all be over for us next Friday, & many of you I think too. Giant lie in tomo is in order I think!
No election discussion with dcs at all in our house this am, more interested in their w/e plans.

LittleHo Apparently it's so that we're not drunk having been paid on Friday!

pasanda · 09/06/2017 08:06

Good luck to all this morning.

DS has Units 1,2&3 chemistry this morning (OCR) and Business Studies Unit 3 this afternoon. Then thank God it's the weekend! It's horrible when they have 2 in a day I think.

LittleHo · 09/06/2017 08:01

The election is a major distraction! Why couldn't it have been held on Friday?

Scabetty · 09/06/2017 07:58

Good luck to all today Smile

BringOnTheScience · 09/06/2017 07:35

I booked today off work in case I stayed up (I went to bed sensibly) so I'm going to pick up DC1 after biology and take them out for lunch somewhere nice.

IGCSE triple here - definitely just two papers for each science.

TisGlorious · 09/06/2017 07:32

Thanks for this.

cantkeepawayforever · 09/06/2017 07:29

Just trying to get DS off the election results / reaction and on to get his brain in gear for biology + music.

errorofjudgement · 09/06/2017 07:27

Thanks for starting the new thread

Echoing good luck for everyone today
