Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Higher English for YS this morning . Omleteers may remember my anguished postings about ES 2 years ago (who managed to fail his English and had to resit the next year ). I'm trying not to get in a state as ES is now at Uni and managing perfectly fine . I am struck by ES's lack of vocabulary though. He just won't read books (apart from the occasional factual book) and it really shows . Apparently none of his friends read - so that's OK then .

ubereglu Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Good Luck. My Final A2 exams start mid June, so I've still got a few more weeks yet...I honestly don't know where the time has gone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clootie Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Hope it went well for your DS ANH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Thanks, Clootie . He thinks it was OK but it's so hard to tell with English . Much easier to revise for Geography, Chemistry and Biology . I've made up a timetable for him and he's doing lots of practice questions so fingers crossed .

Purplemaniacs Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Good luck to all taking exams at the moment (and to their families ). It is such a stressful time, I have searched for OU courses without exams, at ** years of age I can not face taking another exam.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Whew, last exam yesterday . He thinks Biology was "good" and feels ok about Geography and Chemistry too. We did do a lot of work together and he knew his stuff, so I'm positive he's passed them all, it's just whether he can get the 4 Bs he needs for his degree choice. What a relief it is, I feel like I've finished my own exams . Results on 4th August, the day before my birthday - let's hope it's a nice birthday present .

sparkysmum Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Anthony has Art this afternoon & Jonathan has Computing tomorrow. It's been such a trial for me but not J&A more like an inconvenient interruption in their routine. You know the one. Sleep.............eat..............games..............sleep.....eat ..............play. I just wish they'd take it a bit more seriously.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Good luck to them both . YS has taken the whole thing much more seriously than ES, thankfully! Of course, now he's asking if he can get the computer we promised him if he got 4 Bs . Like, now . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I hope that all has gone well. We have one more Phsycology AS and one more RS short course GCSE to go before the end of June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
