Parents of Year 12s - exam time again! (oh no!)

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Just noticed we were running out of thread!

I had yr11 and yr 13 last year. Littledrummergirl and others I will add and .

Next summer will not be fun (one in Y13 & one in Y11) but summer 2020 will be worse (one in Y13 and two in Y11)

I survived the Y11/13 last year. It just seemed to go on forever! Definitely required.

Second I have no words!!!!!!

I'll have a y11 and y13 this year too GCSE 2018 thread in secondary ed if anybody else wants to join.

Second perhaps start planning a month long holiday for May/June 2020 . . !

Those whose TIO isn't working, are you on desktop, mobile site or app?
Just wondering if it makes a difference.
Mine are showing on the App but not on the mobile site.

shineyshoes definitely keep burying your head about that year, that's going to be hell on earth a year to remember. My dd2 will be doing her GCSEs that year too, maybe we'll share another thread then.

Thanks for the new thread kitten.

Knitting, it could also be that they got 90 ums, which is sort of an a*

knitting, we'd predict someone with 90 ums an A, like kitten said. Or maybe he's done a full A level already, we do that with our further maths class, they do maths A level in y12, then FM A level in y13. So there are 5 pupils at my school who do actually have an A, because they've done a whole A level rather than all AS.

MsAwesomeDragon that could very well be it. I knew someone would have an answer. He is a very high achiever and also doing maths and FM. He is not a bragger or a truth stretcher, I've known him since he was four and all you get from him is the plain unvarnished truth.

DS and I have managed to talk about starting the PS today which is a step in the right direction.

"Those whose TIO isn't working, are you on desktop, mobile site or app?"

It doesn't work on my desktop or my mobile.

Want to join in to - and add to new thread when ready.

Have a DD going into Yr 13 and a DS going into year 3 of a degree - sort of final but he does a MEng so 4 years! Will need to be very strong for them as they both get very stressed near exams. I feelexhausted thinking about it.

We went for a campus tour of Warwick today - DD liked very much. Seen enough unis now - hard work to do.

Need to start again with unis after next weeks' UKCAT test. Warwick is nice isn't it.

dd really likes Warwick :)

MsAwesomeDragon is it possible to achieve A* with 89 average in C3 & C4?

I don't think so inchy, I think it's a 90+ average for C3 and C4. It's definitely that for edexcel, but other exam boards might have slightly different requirements.

Thank you.

DD will do a self guided tour of Warwick on their way back from Exeter.

I struggle with it as my sister didn't particularly enjoy her 3 years there and I have a friend who transferred after a year. Ultimately it's up to her though.

Is anyone else's child (young adult) going to Reading later this week?

What did they not like about Warwick raspberry?

Gah, I was looking at the wrong numbers. She hasn't done those yet! .

oops inchy!

It's really interesting how one persons love is another ones hate.
I think dd may have got things down to her final 5 unis. I hope so, because to be honest, I think she has pretty much run out of places to reject So many places that have really good reputations for all sorts of reasons were not right in one way or another.

She's ready to go back to college now. Think she's wanting to get on with things.

That's funny. DD just said she wished they could go back tomorrow and "bank" the rest of the holidays to use later for revision.

Thanks Japonica! I'll make sure to stock up.
Ds1 has a week at home with very little planned so I suspect he will be hitting the books.
They are having an enforced family day this week though, I'm determined that we will all have some time together.
