Haha! 😂 My daughter would agree with the Biology bit, she hated it and was glad to get it over with in Y10 😆

it is really confusing now, there are so many different exams for all the subjects.

She also wants to be a vet!
She's currently revising for her Chemistry and Computing exams tomorrow.

Ooo how interesting. Not sure where you live but DD is planning on going to Hartpury College. They are a specialist land college and she will do A Levels in Chemistry, Biology and Psychology and they do a pre-vet course which I am sure will help her as they have loads of animals there for practical work.

My son is doing his GCSE now and he’s not at all stressed , he just doesn’t have that kind of personality which is good i suppose.

He did biology one yesterday said it was easy but the questions were stupid

He starts his study leave next Friday and just has to go back in for exams .

A change from last year at his school when they had to stop till the end of June .

Dd had her biology yesterday too and had egg questions and not the potato questions she was hoping for! She is coping fine. But i do get a little concerned when she is going in early, coming home late and then some more at home. She is also begining to go in on saturdays and will be going in for a few days over the half term too. We have had a chat and she says she knows how far she can push herself.
Good luck to everyone!

Were currently having meltdowns about how hard chemistry is going to be tomorrow. In her own words after 2 days of ok exams she's gone from being 'all zen to stress level 100!' She Cant wait to get this one (and 2nd paper) out the way

No exam today but Chemistry tomorrow. No study leave here either.

Biology yesterday and chemistry tomorrow. Stressed but coping - us and DD
No study leave here either. They basically go in until they have finished their final exam (roll on June 15th )

Today went well. Daughter had 2nd RE exam and found it easier than the first. They were told if in doubt quote "love they neighbour" she said she used that quote 6 times. Now she is stressing about tomorrows Chemistry and the 2nd Computer Science as she is hoping to do it at A level.

Jovimum my girl is also starting early in the mornings and finishing later with extra sessions during half term. She also did extra in the Easter holidays. 5 down 19 more to go. Let's hope all these children get the grades they need without burning out.
