Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 That's a heavy schedule Best of luck Fred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Good luck! - my poor Emma has been studying for Scotland too! - I hope you do well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little chickadee Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Goodness Are they real ones or mocks? I asked for batteries for my tea towel (torchon) in my french speaking exam. I don't know how the examiner kept a straight face - but I got a B, so it cant' have been too bad! Good luck with your hectic schedule and just think about what you're going to do to relax when they are over (apart from giving us I.T advice!)

Geoid Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 The best thing is, im doing most of them on the computer , so maybe I will be on the forum after the exam (not during!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina C Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 All the best Fred. Are these GCSEs? What are you planning to do next? And how is it that you do exams on a computer? You don't need to answer that obviously but am just intrigued to know if its an option open to everyone these days (no such thing as PCs when I was at school - we used slide rules ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I asked for batteries for my tea towel (torchon) in my french speaking exam. I don't know how the examiner kept a straight face Maybe he/she thought you had a very innovative tea towel... Good luck Fred, sounds like a lot, my exam days are far behind me now, but even now I still occasionally wake up in a panic from dreaming I have a long line of exams coming up ahead, or I forgot to write my dissertation (honestly, does anyone actually 'forget' to write their end of uni dissertation??) ... The endless exams for weeks on end and the living inside books for even longer are one part of my youth I really don't miss!! All the best!

Tina C Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I have that dream too - but strangely mine is always maths exams rather than the dissertation - and I did not do maths at uni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhapsody Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Good luck Fred. My elder son is doing his GSCE's and did Spanish Oral yesterday- he said he had to talk about going to Barcelona to take part in a choral competition (totally improvised) bit specific! He is doing IGSCE's in all core subjects which are 3 weeks earlier than the normal ones, eeek! I'll get him to log on here, you can moan together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
