Edexcel Chem here. Not a happy bunny.

DD said Chemistry was good "bearing in mind I only revised for it last night"..........

Ha! DD's room is like a laboratory...minimalist, always exceptionally tidy. Not sure how this has happened.

DS's room......the polar opposite 😳

Igcse chemistry went well, apparently. DS is now drinking Lemsip. I even put the heater on for him.

How is everyone else doing?

Wishing any kids feeling ill a very very speedy recovery.
DS went it today not feeling great had lemsip capsules and usual hayfeaver stuff. Thankfully only Chemistry today.

I have made the mistake of promising DS a new Ikea wardrobe in the summer. (The current one is just a small one.) He now doesn't even pretend to tidy up, it is all on the floor 😫

DS only has chemistry today. He is still under the weather.

lol so glad I’m not alone on the bedroom thing. I don’t have a lot to complain about with my girl but tidiness is not a strong point at the best of times. It’s currently nuclear.

Keeping DS bedroom in a reasonable state has been one of my exam concessions. That stops on Friday, he will be devastated 🤣.

Hope you feel better soon @Gazelda

LOL! DS will also need at least 3 hours to clear out and clean up his pigsty of a room. I've been biting my tongue but it's sooooo hard! I fully expect the bins and dishwasher to be full of stuff previously lurking in the corners and under his bed 😱

This is my impression too. DS says the teachers have the papers immediately after the exams so when they run a post exam session it wouldn't be the most difficult thing in the world for the students to sneak some photos.

Good luck to all our students for Chemistry and Further Maths today - and to A level taking siblings also. Best of luck!

Then she's in for a whole world of trouble because her bedroom is a tip.

This

Ahh that makes sense thanks

I always wonder how I’d do if I took the exams. Some I could probably scrape a 1 through general knowledge and the discussions I’ve had with ds. Some subjects I studied to A Level so hopefully could still get a pass. Chemistry however I do not understand a single word of!

Ds now realises he got a lot more wrong in maths than he originally thought sadly. Somehow I think that’s going to be the story for everything

We will be together till the bitter end!

DD has Chem and Further Maths today. Then she’ll only have physics and FM paper 2. Whoop!!

DS has only 4 Alevel exams to go. I can’t believe we have nearly made it through the 30+ exams!!

I have no idea how DD is still going! She must have inherited all the stubborn from me and DH! Both DC love Maths and find it easy and DS has helped with revision so DD found yesterdays Maths paper easy and finished early.

Good luck everyone the end is in sight!!

DS just left for chemistry warm up. Nothing else now until Friday, so we are definitely on the final push now. GL all ☘️

DD's last 'big' day today - history and chemistry.

I'm still isolating because I've got Covid so DH has been taking her to school. He was growling at her like a bear with a sore head today to hurry up. I know it was childish and undermining, but I was making faces behind his back to cheer her up.

I don't care what it takes to make sure she's in the best mood possible until she's finished on Friday.

Then she's in for a whole world of trouble because her bedroom is a tip.

Good luck again for today. Just Chemistry for ds (he did History too but only 2 papers).

Brilliant 😂I've just been doing DDs flashcards about the 'easy oil stuff'!

My brain stopped at the word polyesters.

Fingers crossed they are nice papers.

Good luck everyone today!

DD has chem and history, chem is an A level, history not, so am really hoping she copes with chem better. She tells me she doesn't know enough for either, but has been revising. Told her to focus on chem and history will be what it is.

She is grumpy and stressed this morning, so therefore so am I 😂but will keep a cheery demeanor until I have dropped her off at school.

One more to go after today, thank goodness the end is near.

xx

Good luck everyone! History and chemistry today. Loads of history revision done. Apparently chemistry is the 'easy stuff like oil'!

Good luck everyone, Chemistry for DD today.

The end is in sight 🙌🏻

@BlackBean2023 good luck to yours ! Yes paper 2 was so much content. This one didn’t seem so bad and was more recently taught. DD has Weimar Germany. Fingers crossed for a kind paper.

Also nice to have the house for myself for a day!

She has 2 Friday but then done .

Morning @Countrylife2002 - I'm tired too!

DD is also doing Chem and History (USA) today. History is an A Level choice and she's still feeling a bit bruised from the content revision from P2!

Can't believe that after today we're down to just 1!

Big day today with chemistry and history. History is DD’s main subject. She was great yesterday on the flashcards for history, chemistry, not so much.

She looked at TikTok and saw the maths answers and realised she’d got q1 wrong! So unusually for her she looked for more Qs and thinks she got most right which is quite a turn up. We shall see!

Don’t know about her but I am so tired! Apparently she doesn’t need me for physics flash cards and geography is just paper practice so I am done at least and can resume my telly watching tonight !! I have agreed to drive her to school this morning to give her more revision time now and then one more tutor session to transport her to tomorrow and that’s it so far as my assistance goes!
