DS came home yesterday saying Physics papers were okay - as with Chemistry though, one more difficult than the other.
That's him done and dusted now and he was back on his PS4 within minutes of walking through the door. Celebrating with his cohort on Monday when most of the rest of them finish.
There's not much going on for DS over the next weeks - they didn't have an official end of year event (boys school so no prom!). They seem to just drift off until September (expectation is that with one or two exceptions they will all make the grades demanded to get into sixth form). They did their official work experience at the end of Yr 10 and no sixth form induction day either, this side of the summer hols. Although DS has got a week of paid work in a couple of weeks and then some family holidays to break up the summer. He refused to do the NCS thing, although having wriggled out of it this year he will be doing it next summer!
I cannot believe that you are so 'on the ball' already about uni open days @errorofjudgement. Need time to regroup in this household. We have DC2 transitioning to secondary school too, so have been juggling lots simultaneously. The whole of this academic year has been punctuated by exams for both DC, from September to June
. Not sure we're ready to start jumping the next academic 'hurdle' already, particularly as DS doesn't really have a clue as to what he wants to study (although it may turn out to be Geography as it's his strongest subject).
Also a bit
at whoever intimated, 'upthread', that Geography and languages were easier/less important subjects, so better placed at the end of the exam timetable! All a matter of opinion and personal skill-sets, I would say.
