I’m an identical twin and, at school, we always got very similar results in tests, and teachers liked paring us against each other. Other students would take the mikey as to who came higher and stuff…..
Things changed a bit at A Level, as our school did not have one. We both got into the “ good Sixth Form”, but as we’d had crap careers advice, started A Levels we really shouldn’t. At the end of year one, however, she had excellent supporting Form Tutor and decided to restart the first year. I, however, had my Chemistry tutor as form tutor, and he was an odious little hateful spiteful horrid man…. ( Mr Fairburn….. karma will get you!) who had relentlessly bullied me throughout, putting me on report when I kept asking for help, and openly disparaging me over test results in front of the class. So, I didn’t want to quit, prove him right, so I stupidly ploughed on….. to be faced with 4 Grade U’s just by my 18th on the 20th 🙄! My parents were great, at no point did they say “ I told you so! You should have redone the first year like your twin!” ..who was storming away back at the nice place- they just let me know they’d support me whatever I did. I decided to try and pick myself up, got into the only other college in town there, not even on the main campus, in a disused MFI Showroom and did new A Levels I actually was interested in in a crammer year, and got off to “uni” that way, same time twin did. Even then she got into nice posh Uni campus Halls, I was at poly and couldn’t get into halls so lived way out ( well, only West Jesmond!- for Newc people!), but they always seemed to manage not comparing us both, which might have even hard at times….
Sorry if this doesn’t help very much…. I’m guessing you have thinking you may have differing results on Thursday? Oh, I really feel for you… 🤗 . Do they have similar wishes as what to do next?
