Anyone else have children sitting GCSE's this summer?

[Milliways]

Juat thought it might be nice to have a small parental support group!

Coping with Teenagers going through Revision / Mocks / STress etc

DD had her mocks before Christmas, can't believe this is the last term that she will HAVE to go to school!!!

Anypone else out there?

Most od dds exams are in the next 2 weeks after half term.
I am being unreesonable to expect her to do more than 2 hours of revision a day.
I don't think so.

She needs to do rather more revision than that - past papers (especially for science and maths) as well as learning of facts.
DS has maths, double science, history, geography, English (already done the literature part) and French still to do.

Thanks. I'll tell her when she is out of the shower!

Btw can we all have a reunion on 23rd August to see how they all got on?
See if the nagging and worrying on our parts paid off

My DS has so far got up, had breakfast, watched Sky Sport News and is also in the shower! Oh well, plenty more hours left today.

Maths & German today. Only 19 more papers to go!

Roll on the end!

DD has only 7 more papers to go!
19 is a lot, Milliways!
When is the last one?

She has them every day this week & next week, and then a final one the following Wed.

Right, at 15.15 Friday DS finished his last paper (history) for this week. Just next week to look forward to! DS is not commenting much about his experiences though he isn't is despair.

Only 4 more papers to go - yippee! Off to pick DS1 up from uni tomorrow, so full house again. Can't wait for Fri at 11am - no more GCSEs for 2 years (DS3)

Last Exam Tomorrow!

All done! prom done dd in Spain with mates

Yes, all done too. Leavers Ball and tutor group punting session went without incident. DS has DoE expedition then a rugby club tour coming up. Stress can build up again from 20th August when we get back from our hols.

(Biting fingernails emoticon)

Yes, feel really nervous now. Good luck to all waiting for results.

I'm feeling worried for DS - hope that he feels that he has done as well as he can compared with others in his year. But it will be worse in 2 years time for the A2 results!

Really nervous now - DS2 went off at 10am for results eeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkk!!

Wow!!!! (VERY prud Mum emoticon)

Congratulations to your DD Milliways!
How is DS getting on at Hogwarts?
(This is rusty (rugby shirt) under a new name btw)

DS is also doing well, got a form prize at the end of term. He said (to DD results) "And you call ME the boffin!!"

Congratulations to your dd Milliways! Fantastic results. what Alevels is she going to do?

You do realise that no-one else will be posting their results now, don't you!

She wants to do Maths, Eng Literature, History, French & German.

Languages are her thing. She got 100% on some of the modules!

Wow congratulations to your dd (and you)Milliways - your dd must have been a delight to teach!

From what I've read on here about your dd Milliways, she sounds like the kind of daughter that we would all love our dd's to turn out like!

What's your secret?

Her Mother is an Mumsnetter of course!
