Thank you. Good luck to you and your DD and everyone else on here. It’s strange to think how these next few weeks of exams will determine our teen’s future plans. No wonder they are feeling stressed and emotional at the moment. They have worked so hard, let’s hope the hard work all pays off for them

They can be Student Ambassadors and help out with Open Days, show people around the accommodation (they even get paid for just being in their rooms but letting people look!), preparing mail to send out to prospective students. Apparently they get paid about £8.50 an hour.

Glasgow Uni do this too. When we went for A’s offer holder day the parents went on a campus tour with student ambassadors from 2nd year. Think they got £10 an hour.

Thank you. They (and us) have all come a long way since we all started chatting on this thread.

I know that we will all be here for support for the next few months at least (but hopefully longer).

Good luck everyone for the next few weeks xx

Emma had a nice bubble bath tonight before bed with her stress relief Bath and Bodyworks.

She says she thinks she actually knows more than thinks she does and is feeling quite relaxed about it (until she wakes up tomorrow!)

Like when she did her GCSEs, she has written each exam on a post-it note and put them on her wardrobe. As each one is done, it will be pulled off, screwed up and put in the bin!

Anyone else having trouble sleeping? I’m tempted to stay up for GOT if I’m still awake then.

I am still awake, but I am a bit of a night owl and don't go to sleep that early.

Hope you get to sleep soon.

I slept badly Saturday night as I was stressed about it all then. So I was exhausted last night and slept really well.

Georgia says she’s fine this morning and slept pretty good except she was revising in her sleep 😂

Good luck to all the students with exams today and the rest of the week.

Good luck everyone! Harry’s first exam starts at 1.15 and I feel sick! He seems a bit nervous and quiet this morning. I’ve just made him a hearty lunch and he’s getting ready now. I’ll be glad when it’s all over 😨

Hi

I have been skim reading through this thread over the last few weeks as we are a year behind you and are about to start on the visits and decision making soon. I've picked up load of hints and information I didn't know from this thread, and I just wanted to wish all your children the very best of luck with their exams and future plans.

Its great how you've all made friends and supported each other, and I'm going to join this years thread and hope for the same.

Georgia’s just set off to college for her psychology exam now. She’s very calm about it and eager to get on with it I think after all the revision 😀. Hope it goes well for Harry too xx
