Foslady dd agrees that Aqa German was terrible. The listening was ok but the reading was nigh on impossible apparently - Twitter is quite funny about it. Hope the writing isn't as cruel on Monday!
No big end of exam party here either but dd and 5 friends are going camping. I'm slightly nervous about it but they're going to a proper campsite and they're all sensible girls(I hope!)Confused

Night off here too. Dd did a couple of hours physics revision after Chem exam and has now gone to hang out with a friend. Only physics left on Friday makes 25 exam papers - bonkers🥴

Two more, Geography and Physics

I wonder if we ever get to see papers that were supposed to be the main ones and then at the last moment substituted for by the reserve.

Sorry to hear AQA German was brutal Foslady. Maybe it would have been better if the German papers had been stolen along with the French. DS is convinced that the French was not too bad because they used the reserve papers, and they hadn't thought as hard about them. I am not sure what to make of this theory, but anyway.

one more to go here: Physics on Friday

DeRigueurMortis · 12/06/2019 15:57

So AQA Chemistry went "ok". He's not being highly communicative but I managed to get some elaboration in that there were some tough questions but also some easy ones - so on balance "ok".

AQA Electronics went well apparently.

One more to go!!!!

Thankfully a day off tomorrow so he's taking a break tonight and doing Physics revision all day tomorrow.

Post exam parties that should say!

cptartapp · 12/06/2019 15:54

Checking in for the final push. AQA chemistry (higher) was 'fine' apparently. But everything's been fine this week! I think DS is fed up of my grilling after every exam. Geog tomorrow, then physics, then done! All the promised post exams here too haven't materialised either, they're desperately trying to persuade some parents to agree. I feel quite sorry for them , they deserve a blow out! But NIMBY Grin

Thanks for the new thread lambuffy. Was wondering if I knew how to generate one, then got called away, and hey presto we were full

Foslady · 12/06/2019 15:41

Oh dear - AQA German was ‘brutal’. On top of horrible chemistry I guess it’s not been a good day.....

steppemum · 12/06/2019 14:59

yeah - last thread ! (at least I hope so, 2 more to go....)

I must say, he was originally down to do advanced maths on tuesday next week, and he pulled out.
I'm not sure we would have made it through another weekend.

he is sad though as all the parties have been cancelled (I'm guessing the parents were asked and said no!) Makes me wish we had a barn or something for them to party and camp in, it would be fun (but not in my house)

DeRigueurMortis · 12/06/2019 14:54
