I wish Georgia could be celebrating today like Molly instead of feeling so miserable. I really hope she passes on her next one x

I’m sorry Georgia didn’t pass, maybe the stress of exams didn’t help.
My DD postponed her driving test, she should have been doing it today but her instructor didn’t think she was quite ready. She’s booked again after the exams. Hope you’ll be able cheer her up x

She is still a bit down but has decided to just concentrate on the exams for now as her next driving test is after the exams. You are right about it being her first taste of failing, she has never failed a test academically so this has been frustrating for her. I am very proud of her not giving up attitude though, she rebooked her retest within 10 minutes of coming back from her test today.
Georgia has English (King Lear) and Biology exams Monday too, so plenty to take her mind off her disappointment today 😀 |

Are we ready for more exam postmortems this week then mums and dads?
Not gonna lie, this has been a horrible week for my DD. She's been so sad, really struggled to get motivated or focussed, knowing she needs to do it but not motivated to, so it became a vicious circle. On Thursday and Friday she broke down in tears with the weight of it all, even though on Friday she had started to pick up the revision again (not sure if that was making her feel worse though, making her feel like she didn't know anything and was running out of time to recall it). She was better yesterday, she had a good productive day revising (I was around but gave her all the peace and quiet she wanted) and she was comfortable and pleased with the work she had done. I do think she'll manage much better back in college, where she can go to tutor revision classes when she doesn't have exams (4 this week!). I've decided to take some time off work midweek after this next week, so I can be around for her at home, for company more than anything else (and she might have some spare time that week as she only has one exam, to go shopping for bits and pieces for her holiday, which is the week after that). Its all go, but we can only do the best we can (just like our young adults). Best of luck to everyone! Edited at 08:59 PM. |

Good luck to your DD this week!
My DS just has 2 practicals this week! I say “just” - it is enough!

It’s heartbreaking isn’t it, when it gets too much too much for them? I think they all go through it at one point through the exams.
Pleased your DD had a better day yesterday and hopefully her extra lessons in college this week will help too. Georgia has revised for hours the last two days, barely stopping. She has two big exams tomorrow, English (King Lear) which she has learnt over 150 quotes for, and her first written Biology exam which is very important to her as it’s her university degree subject. She seems calm about it at the moment, I just hope it goes well for her tomorrow and for all our children in the next few weeks now. As you say, all we can do now is support them and give them our love |
