Good luck Kangaboy, hope all your hard work pays off. Make sure you take your favourite pen! Good luck to anyone else's DS/DD taking exams soon too.

Been thinking about him this morning, Kanga ... still vibing away and sending loads of positive thoughts.

Thanks it is soooooo hard me being here knowing that he is doing his exams and I can't do anything to help

These exams will control what the rest of his schooling is. Which is a very strange feeling

He is just about to do his verbal reasoning

He was soooooo chuffed with this thread this morning and people have been texting good luck to him this morning, which is lovely.

Good luck Kangaboy, keeping fingers crossed for you

Piffle · 10/01/2006 12:21

Thoughts are with you KTM my ds did non verbal reasoning last year for entry to his preferred school (the local grammar) and it was very stressful
I'm sure little Kanga will be doing fabulously!
And my ds when asked last year which of his tests had been easier, said the 1st one - which he got a 78% in, pass mark being 75%
In the 2nd test he got 94% so he had no idea about assessing how well he'd done....
Good luck - dying to hear how he got on xxxxxxx

WigWamBam · 10/01/2006 12:25

Relax and do lots of deep breathing, Kanga ... go and have a nice cup of tea and try to stay calm!

Thanks guys

Am watching Big brother to try to take my mind off it, it isn't working very well though.

Well he has finished his verbal reasoning now and will be going into dining hall to have lunch.

Then Maths this afternoon

If he passes these exams he will be asked to come for interview in next few weeks

He hasn't got any friends from his school there with him today, today is to get into the school that DH teaches at.

But Kangaboy still has to do well enough in these exams to get a place.

Piffle your DS did very well, deffo brill

PIFFLE Hope so

Well he came out feeling positive about the day

He thinks he did particularly well in the english paper, which is his best subject

There were sooooooooo many boys, it was weird seeing so many boys of the same age.

We just have to wait now for the results and to hear if he gets asked to come for interview.

I just wish that I knew the result now instead of waiting

We gave him a digital camera as a surprize present because he had worked so hard today and it had been soooooooooooo stressful in the lead up to it.
