How much revision is your Y11 doing now?

Having the usual debate with DS who tells me that no one at school is even thinking about revision before the Easter hols Hmm

Could you give me an idea how much your kids are doing? Mocks went ok but could have been better. DS is clever but can be lazy.

Yes we've got another set of TAGS and another set of Mocks in March. It feels excessive.

My ds was told to work in half term. He did well in mocks, however there are more teacher assessed grade things coming up before the end of this term (just in case apparently). I am pretty angry tbh as they had to work over christmas for mocks, over half term now for more stuff and then easter will be revision. Y11 have been shat on.

DD has just had (second set of) mocks so she was revising a fair bit over half term. I think she will probably take her foot of the pedal for a couple of weeks before picking it up again. They've finished the syllabus for virtually every subject so schools lesons and homework are mostly revision anyway, but I'd expect her to settle to a couple of hours a night of work (mix of homework/revision).

School told us to let them have half term off because it will be full on when they return

Very little, dusted her pile of revision guides that i bought before Christmas only last week. Does attend the after school sessions so about 2-3 hours per week.

My DD is doing about 2 hours a day at the weekend, and about 1.5 hours in the evenings after school along with going to a few drop-in sessions at school. I do have to nag her though.

My DS will do shit all next year.
