Just a quick good luck to all the DC who start AS levels tomorrow.

Thanks Sue - I've got dd1 doing A levels and dd2 doing GCSEs. Arghhh!

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

A2 not AS - I am feeling v old.

[bruffin]

Next year will have Dd doing gcse and DS

Same here Remus. Though older DD worryingly laid back about the whole thing

[BackforGood]

Thanks Sue - ds is straight in with 2 x 1.5 hour papers tomorrow morning, with a 5min gap timetabled between them!

[mindgone]

Same here remus and phyllis, but with boys! Am dreading study leave! Lots of good plentiful food and needed! First exams tomorrow, C1 maths resit for DS1 and French for DS2. Best of luck to all.

[Isthiscorrect]

Good luck all. We are straight in this morning with economics. History tomorrow, 2 more on Friday, 2 next week then it's all over. Just the finger nail munching til August.
Yy to good food, rest, wine (and that's just me!).

THanks! Just send DS an encouraging text before his 1st exam ( music so a good start for him) . Then maths ( core 1 I think) this pm

DS started on 30/4 with his music performance. He's got a couple a week till the week after half term too.

Do pass my top tip on. It's not original but always will stand repeating read the instructions and each question at least 2x before diving in. You get no marks for a perfect answer to a different question, and no benefir from answering 4 parts instead of 3 (and 3 parts perfectly of a 4 part q still is only 3/4 of the marks!)

I really feel for those of you with DC doing GCSE and ASs at the same time. The stress levels in your home must be on the hIgh side.

Thanks Sue. DD has Core 1 maths and mechanics this afternoon.

Good advice Thea, I have always told her to read the questions carefully, it is so easy to lose silly marks.

Good luck everyone!

[fivefathoms]

First AS this morning and first GCSE tomorrow, it's really here at last and i just hope they have done enough. Good luck to all!

[bruffin]

DS really pleased about Core 1 and said philosophy was ok.

[mindgone]

bruffin, DS1 thought core 1 was fine too, good to know!

[bruffin]

Ds said there was one question that threw them but they all came up with same answer.

[monikar]

DD is happy with Core 1 too, what a relief.

[BeckAndCall]

Another house happy with C1 here. Ws it the reciprocal graph question, Bruffin? Same reaction here, but it's the right answer in the end......

[BeckAndCall]

And I did wait until after 4.30 am to post that! (Must remember the embargo times for the rest of them too....)

[bruffin]

Think it maybe that one Beckandcall. Its circle on a graph or something and a lot of work gor 2 marks.

[BeckAndCall]

Sounds like the one. One things for sure - I couldn't have done it!

[bruffin]

Nor me
