GCSE support group???

[EllaPepper]

oh dear god can we all please share the pain of GCSE season? am in Wales and this week looks horrific. everyone is stressed, tired, cranky. i have one doing GCSEs and one doing AS-Levels. how will we all survive?? can we share cramming tips, sleep strategies, what should we all be eating, how much down time is allowed. when does this hell end?!? sending hugs to all x

DS very relaxed , probably too relaxed . Doing very little now , torn between thinking ‘ what he doesn’t know now he’ll never know ‘ and wishing he’d cram / do something 🤣

definitely keeping the vibe as chilled as possible, normal evening , early ish night , might give him a magnesium tablet for sleep . Good brekkie .
still need to get pencil case organised .

I am more nervous than him for sure

you need to get yourself onto the Secondary Education board!

Checking in!

DS has been verrrrrry chilled but I think the panic is starting to set in. English Lit is definitely going to be the worst for him, he has no interest at all. Much more interested in maths, sciences and geography.

What he doesn’t know now, he doesn’t know. Trying to have a relaxing evening with him, magnesium is a good shout I’ll give him a tablet before bed.

Good luck to all x

My DD contracted glandular fever a few weeks ago which is terrible timing so is feeling pretty rubbish but she is working hard and heading off to the library with her friends to revise - unfortunately we are not allowed to breathe, talk, or exist whilst she is revising 🙈

fab, thanks for this link - will definitely have a look! x

oh god yeah, heaven forbid i put the washing machine on!

Following. DS started on Friday afternoon with economics. Loves writing essays so he is relaxed today but we will see when it is time for chemistry etc

English lit done today, my DD was very nervous this morning but seemed reasonably calm when she got home. Biology tomorrow

I did about 2000 levels of a word puzzle game on my phone during my son's GCSEs
Now he's doing his A levels I might have to re subscribe 😩
