Year 11 GCSE support thread 5 - finishing off the exams

[HSMMaCM]

Only another week to go for DD, but I know some of you have two weeks.

Sparkling, I was wondering about that. We have so many revision guides, booklets, etc to recycle. Do we just chuck them out with the old wine boxes?

That was to your previous post, Sparkling!

sparkling I would imagine it is an anti climax.

All that looking forward and adrenalin fizzing around...then ...bam...The End.

Bound to feel odd I think.

I don't think it has sunk in with DD as came home then went straight to make soup (again), now watching something with DH as they often do and it isn't different yet.

DS1 wants to keep any books/papers in relation to his A Level choices and chuck the rest Line. But I am really not sure.

YY Word. I think he has been looking forward to the end of the exams so much, and now it's all a bit nothing. He has 6th form induction days the week after next. an Orthodontist appointment and the Prom.

We're not post GCSE until tomorrow, bring it on! I'm not sure what to expect, though I am told that they must not be woken up unless the house is on fire.

sugarPlum - see you in 5 years then!

I wish my dd would make soup for the family when stressed. Very useful. She makes origami mess...confetti......strewn over bedroom floor.

DD seems to have ground to a halt even though she has one exam left tomorrow.

Awful about the road shenanigans Sugar.

Oh good I won't be on my own in 2020 then Torres ! Shame we won't know what we're doing as it will all be different again.

Oh Sugar that sounds very scary. I hope you are both OK

Will I be talking to myself then next week? DD has graphics next Wednesday - I'm sure I saw one other graphics student mentioned. Please talk to me

Oh I want to be post GCSES! Another week here, please dont abandon me !

Last exam tomorrow for us (physics- worst subject). DD nsiststhat she can't find her unit 1 stuff and only has the revision guide to go on, I really think she has given up on it as it has been so hot today and she has had 2 days off. I told her one last push and then she won't have to do it again - bit like childbirth...
Good luck to all with the rest of the exams. Unfortunately I am away with work tomorrow so won't be arund to see her off or back.

We'll all be here discussing Prom stuff to distract you both from the exams. Feel a bit guilty not everyone is done yet

Aunt petunia, I'm with you, all the way until next Friday. Poor dd is nearly on her knees, and the worst week yet to come

Still got A Levels next week in my house (dreading it), so I'll be around if you need to off-load.

What exams does your DD have next week dingit?

We're not post-GCSE till Tuesday after History 3, Woolly, so you can talk to me!

I think it will be an anti-climax. Can you post-GCSEers keep us posted on what to expect please?

Simbo, same here - physics is DD's worst subject too.

We still haven't had any communications about Prom

Biology, history paper 3, chemistry physics ( in that order). Oh help, I'm going to need , aren't i?.
No offence, but I can't wait to say see yah on 20th August to you lot

Sugar we'll be clueless and moaning about how our DCs have 50 exams when it was 'only' about 23 last time round. Or just sitting rocking in the corner as we'll have a child doing university finals and one doing GCSEs.

I am not post GCSE until next Friday either. Further maths X2 , general studies and statistics still to go. Please don't leave and turn the lights out.

Physics tomorrow and then triple science final papers and graphics here next week, a really tough week. Dingit what's your dd got?

Torres that was me this year
DD1 finished her uni exams last Friday and DD2 is still mid GCSEs. Wine has helped.

We have a big family party weekend coming up after exams are finished. There will be much celebrating and more wine

That bit about GCSE's and Finals just stopped me in my tracks a bit Torres, hadn't thought of that ! Sounds like we'd better follow Woolley's advice and start stockpiling wine then.

Better get some in for triple scientists and graphics people for tomorrow and next week

All a bit better this week. DD is feeling much happier. Turns out it was cycling to work that was causing most of her stress!!!

She hasn't cycled much since she has been at High School, she normally walks everywhere but work is just a bit too far. DH has relented and agreed to take her and pick her up for 2 more weeks.

Maths seems to have gone well today. Further maths is the last one next Friday.

She is going to a taster day at college next week so she's looking forward to that.
