Anyone's dcs doing GCSEs, AS, A levels and fancy a hand-holding thread?

[NoHaudinMaWheest]

I have two dcs about to start exams. Dd (ASD, dyslexia, mobility problems) is doing GCSEs. She should do well but is stressing herself by wanting to get A* in everything. That isn't impossible (apart from Italian) but I would rather she cut herself some slack and didn't get wound up about it.
Ds (ASD, OCD, dyslexia) is doing A levels. He doesn't actually have any exams until the middle of June so plenty of time to revise but that is not his strong point at all. He finally finished his Computer Science course work at midnight last night - talk of taking it to the wire! He needs at least 3 Bs for university course he wants to do and that is doable so long as he can get some work done and doesn't freak out on the day.

I am expecting a truly stressful 6 weeks.

Anyone else?

Hairy well done to your ds for those results.
How are you doing yourself?

Not too bad thanks. Had 2 lots of chemo so far and the side effects have not been too bad. Am very tired but getting lots of rest where I can.

Glad it hasn't been too awful so far. Fingers crossed for the rest and a good outcome.

Not sure if I should be posting here.

Ds took an entry level exam back in may/June and I'm a bit peeved tbh, I knew nothing about it until the result dropped through our letterbox.

I don't understand why the school didn't think that it was relevant to mention it to us at all.

Anyway he passed the exam and to say I'm chuffed to bits would be a slight understatement.

Enter of course you should post here. Well done to your ds though why on earth didn't school let you know?

NoHaudin thanks, congratulations to your dc too, I'll have to ask the school that question when ds goes back. Tbh up until the last day of term I was under the impression that ds would take GCSE'S next yr but his predicted grades were below expected and he won't now be entered for them.
