@SilverBlue4 it's Edexcel FM further pure.

HighburyHope · Yesterday 22:24

Some FM and RS papers are on Monday 22nd.

Newlease · Yesterday 22:34

@AuntyBulgaria Yeap, FM Stats, DD was not a fan, but went pretty well considering the anxiety! @bluefineliner It went okay, and now did a Friday night movie and prom shopping tmrw, last exam Maths paper 3 on Thursday. What you wrote made me think about last summer holidays, we booked it very early without knowing any time lines, and DD had to book her ESAT from Portugal. And since coming from holidays, it was pretty much intense, exams, ESAT, interviews, worrying out PS ( probably me, but! ) one more week and like someone else said, loooong wait for the results:(
@MiniMidiMaxi @ComingInByAnsible @wonderstuff It must be good to have them both doing together in one year, I can’t even think of a GCSE after this, next year or so!!
saw a bunch of kids on the road, just hanging out and I thought A levels straight away, probably done today!! No plans for end of exam outing for us, but I made Brownies today to mark big week

I’m sure those who had exams yesterday did well. I hope you have a good weekend- either revising or able to relax 🙂

Well I heard DS get home just after 3am so it’s safe to say he’s moved on from his exams, no drinking, bed by 10pm, up by 8.30am mode pretty quickly! 🤣

DS stayed out on Thursday night, 25 of them at a house party. I.took him and my Mum for lunch yesterday to mark the end of exams. He has a load of catch-up 18th parties coming up.

So nice to read about more YP finishing! Congrats to @BlackBean2023, @MamOfTwo, @gingercat02, @Fabfabfab, @Tebheag, @Muchtoomuchtodo, @Onthesofawithmydog DC and others! What are your children up to now? DS has been enjoying a few days of doing very little apart from gaming, meeting up with friends and his girlfriend (who still have more exams to go) and going to the gym. He did deep-clean his room of his own volition though (including very thorough vacuuming while I was on an important work call 😁). @Tebheag, hope the camping goes well, and @gingercat02 and @Muchtoomuchtodo, hope your DS enjoy the much deserved drinks and parties!

Strength and energy to those with more exams to go - you’ve got this! 💪

@Newlease, thanks, the A level/GCSE combo actually hasn’t been too bad as we were all in the work hard mode and the stresses kind of distracted from each other 😂. DD16 has just two more GCSE exams to go next week, then our household is done!
But there are definitely advantages to doing them consecutively, I am sure you’ll be ready when the time comes again! 💪

@wonderstuff, it’s a dilemma what to do wrt Men B for Year 11, isn’t it? I’ve discussed the risks, pros and cons with DD and leaving it to her to decide.

@Ventress, hope your stay is going well and that you are back home soon. Thanks for the recipe thread, what a great idea! DS can make a few basics, he definitely needs to expand his repertoire over the summer!

@Fabfabfab, sorry to read you’ve been ill, glad you are better now - just in time for better weather hopefully!

Happy belated birthday to your DC, @Echobelly! 🎂🥳🎉

@hels71, hope your surgery goes well 💐

@ComingInByAnsible my dd has also begun the deep clean of her bedroom! I did suggest that taking down all the revision materials from her wall and all the study books may help her decompress as she was still feeling yesterday ‘like I should be revising’ 😂 we have a 2 week holiday in Thailand booked at end of June, followed by her 18th bday and then she is off interrailing with a friend for three weeks. I will probably be back on this thread then for moral support! 😭😭😂 then we are into August and the countdown to ‘the day’… really hope everyone else has an amazing summer!

DC was very happy with biology paper yesterday, which I was pleased about as I know they're not so confident with it; they feel pretty prepared for their final paper on Tuesday. They've been making me chuckle as sometimes to revise their flashcards they've taken them out rollerskating and I've occasionally been driving back from the gym and seen them skating up and down looking at flashcards 😅
