Ready, was he revising when doing the exams before half term? Hopefully he'll get focused over the weekend with exams fast approaching again. It might depend on how he feels about certain subjects, DD doesn't think she can learn any more re: English now and her exam technique is good, maths doesn't find easy and doesn't think she'll learn much more now other than going over a few things, RE never revised but all work and mocks marked as A*, so I doubt much will be done on these three. However, she does have three subjects next week she wants to do at A level, all fact based so a lot of revising is starting to go into these.
My DH supported apprentices and graduates where he works at one stage. He reckons the apprentices came in with a much better attitude, where willing to learn what the business required, had less problems in the work place and were generally more relaxed people -
part of this may just be the type of person that's attracted to go down the apprenticeship route. He totally acknowledges the graduates have worked hard to get where they are (and I suspect one day out DD will be one of them), but they came in with the attitude they had the qualification, you were meant to look up to them and were more likely to have problems adapting to the job., This isn't' quite his words, but as near as I can put together. I'm not criticising those that go down the graduate route, but an apprenticeship is not to be looked down on.
With regard to revising DD is doing different things for subjects, maths was past papers, others have been mind maps, flash cards, making relevant notes. Personally, I'd have gone down the route of reading, re-reading and making a few notes, but as she hardly revised for mocks, I'm just glad she's doing something. She takes the flash cards to school to look at before exams and so she has something easily to hand if she has just a few minutes.
