He seems perfectly calm about it, though did say he thought his teacher had lied about it being fine...it was hard!

I suppose my thinking is if he gets a C then he won't be pushed to resit next year...I would much rather he got to something else for additional studies.

DD did stats this afternoon.
If she attained about half marks in her controlled assessment (she had hints that she actually did much better than half) Then she only needed 36/36 marks out of 100 today to get a C. Approx 50/52 for a B.

stayathomegardener · 23/06/2014 21:16

Aaah that is for AQA.

MadameDefarge · 23/06/2014 21:21

He doesn't really know tbh!

But says he didn't do a controlled assessment.

Sigh. Just don't want him spending precious time next year faffing about just for the school to look good!

YeGodsAndLittleFishes · 23/06/2014 21:26

Ach, sorry, DD is doing AQA.

You can probably look it up on the Edexel website, MadameD.

MadameDefarge · 23/06/2014 21:29

thanks Yegods.

A bit late to get interested, I admit!

MadameDefarge · 23/06/2014 21:34

Right, that was a clear as mud! but clearly Edexcel do do controlled assessments too.

Never mind!

AtiaoftheJulii · 23/06/2014 21:39

Oh no, sorry sunshinecity ! How's it going in your house? You must all be soooooo fed up with exams by now!

And no, sadly I cannot claim to be the originator, just an enthusiastic participant :)

YeGodsAndLittleFishes · 23/06/2014 22:01

Hopefully the lessons and revision guides are clearer than their website, Mad!

RaspberryLemonPavlova · 23/06/2014 22:02

Sunshine's DC will do really well because we can all concentrate on sending positive vibes.

Good luck, Sunshinecity's DC!

KittiesInsane · 26/06/2014 13:25

Is it done yet, SunshineCity? Can we all cheer?

RaspberryLemonPavlova · 27/06/2014 01:05

Are we all done now?

Hope everyone has a relaxing summer.

YeGodsAndLittleFishes · 27/06/2014 06:40

Just in time for the rain!

You need to find a place (a school or college) where you can sit the exams. They will send the exam entries. There are colleges of further education where you can sit the exams. Think about where you want to sit the exams and then look up colleges.
