Cinnamon Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 My eldest has the first of her GCSE's today, so I need Omlet good vibes please! The poor thing was literally trembling this morning when I said goodbye to her - its her French oral & she needs a good score as she wants to continue French in college in September. Also my 14 year old her her SATS this week, even though they were dropped for her age group the school is carrying them out independently Spare a thought for me in 2 years time when it will be Devons A levels & Cleos GCSE's. Didn't think that one through,did we? Anyhow, good luck to all those taking exams at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't think that one through,did we? Anyhow, good luck to all those taking exams at the moment Good luck - as to 'you didn't think it through', if they stay on it is exams every year 14 - 21 yrs, so unless you plan an 8 year gap they are always going to be doing exams at the same time. My daughters school will have (as planned) end of yr exams in June - they would have done these even if SATs had not been dropped. However they have used the extra time freed from SATs to start GCSE work early for the core subjects. Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Speckled Hen Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 That's good news. Don't worry she sounds extremely capable. Best of luck for the rest. It's the parents that need to chill as I remember Mine's all grown up and financing herself through her second degree ... thank heavens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Glad it went well, Sarah. I remember going through all that with Tom a couple of years ago and it's Ollie's turn next year. I think it's just as bad being a Mum as it is for them going through it as we worry just as much.........if not more sometimes! Hope the next 5 weeks go smoothly for her. Fingers crossed and Omlet good vibes on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ana's flock Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Good luck to all of you (or your children) with exams. Eden's got his SATs this year too and I think I'm more nervous than he is...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaP Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Cinnamon, you are not alone My daughter has her GCSE French oral on Friday, followed by everything else over the next few weeks. Pleased to hear that your daughter feels good about hers today My ES dropped out of 6th form last year but has now decided to return in September (to a different school), so as from then I'll have both him and daughter doing their A'levels at the same time Added bonus for me is that I still have 10yr old and 11yr old sons to follow and from September all 4 children will be in different schools At least eldest 2 will get themselves there Good luck to everyone doing exams for the foreseeable future Lisa P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoid Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 At least she gets to do hers during school time, I have my French oral this Saturday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 That seems a bit unfair for you Fred. I had my french oral today, it actually went really well as I had relatively easy B and C role plays and no long gaps of umm, uhh! Just have another 10 exams left...1 next week, 3 the week after and then it's half term. Then the first week back I have 4 exams and the week after just 2!

bellekatz Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 My DD starts with two tomorrow - her german oral and a music written. Then drama all day Friday. She will have done 8 exams by the time she starts her study leave at the end of May!!! Hope she isn't too nervous tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Good luck to all those taking their GCSE's - my DD is taking her Year 6 SATS next week and I hope she gets through them ok. The amount of pressure is ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of pressure is ridiculous Good luck to her! I know - it is absolutly ridiculus the amount of pressure they get in year 6. It is completely unnecessary!

Clash City Rocker Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 "Bratz" got 6x A-S exams this month. Is on exam leave from 15.05.09 until 07.06.09. All 6 of the exams are between 18.05.09 and 22.05.09 (the same week) then nothing for the following 2 weeks when really she could be revising.
