@bizzey - please don’t feel like that, we’re all here for each other. I’ve dipped in/out/lurked - but it’s just good to know that we and the thread all get what we’re going through

Think I'm the only one so far who has an unimpressed DD re AQA Higher.
Says it was too vague, no opportunity to show deeper knowledge? ie she's revised for little gain. Moles question which shouldn't be on this paper, although it's not written in stone that other topics can't come up.
She got a 9 in this exam in mocks. Don't think that's the case this time. 
Feel for her as it was the paper she was most looking forward to, and an A Level choice.

Bizzy incompetent at links & pretty much anything tech related here too!
AQA went really well here, easier than previous chemistry but also commented on the rogue question from the previous paper.
She’s gone up to the yard to stay the night then back for a recap on physics then she’s done! A whole summer of horses planned for her then, I really hope parties don’t take over as I’m excited as she is

Sorry to hear about those of you and/or whose children are under the weather.
I wonder if that now we are in the final stretch of all the adrenaline is wearing off and is a contributing factor.
DS seems to be holding up ok, but I strongly suspect that's because the timetable blessed us this last week with his stronger subjects. Had we been faced with English/RE I think the levels of motivation and resilience could well have been very different.
Steppemum glad to hear we are not the only ones behind the curve on prom. I've been told in no uncertain terms to butt out of any sartorial planning. To be fair he may have a point as male teen fashion is hardly a field in which I have any experience . DH however has a plan (no idea what) so I'm going to leave them both to it.
Won't hear from DS until later as he has 2 exams today (Chemistry and Electronics) so fingers crossed he's done ok. Like pp's I've seen quite a lot of people on Twitter reporting that Chemistry was a tough paper.

Am not getting much out of DD re Chemistry to be honest!
Re-read my previous post - am taking her on a "work related road trip" not a "road related road trip" - a tour of interesting A and B roads would make her run to do more physics revision

DD did OCR chemistry today.
In response to my query she texted "Pretty decent actually. I guessed for a few questions, but in general it was good"
This is one of her worst subjects and after two years of 'not getting it at all' and her having a tutor for past 12 months, I think this is a positive
