Rusty - she will probably drop History (but may take up "Critical Thinking" which some schools do instead of General Studies.

Well, one was General Studies, which they all have to do, the others were Psychology, History, Eng. Lit & Eng Lang - DD is interested in the psychology of language, which apparently she can do a module on at Exeter.
Keeping my fingers cfossed for your DCs swedes.
Milliways - it'd be odd if both our DDs ended up at the same uni, with our DSs going to the same school, wouldn't it?
What does your DD want to drop?

Congrats Rustygirl Just said hello on the other thread!

I have been walking around at work like a Cheshire cat grinning at DD's 5 A's - but they were AS not A2 level.

Rusty - Congratulations to you both. Well done.

What subjects did she do?

I am waiting for DS1's A level Maths result result (taken 2 years early) - I should get it in the post tomorrow. DS is on a sailing course.

So you've got to do it all again in a few years! At least I've only got their university exams to worry about now (DS will be in his final year at Warwick next year...)

My DS did one AS this year and he can't be bothered going into school to get the result. He figures he only has one more day to wait for it to come in the post tomorrow.

He will be picking up his GCSE results next week though.
