I feel for those of you having to take so MANY exams!

I'm going back to studying in October via the Open University and I have two children and I changed my daughter's school at Easter because
A) she was unhappy at a place with 1800 pupils
B) she was drifting and at a lower standard academically in over half of her subjects than when she started three years ago..and
C) The school expected her to take between 10 and 11 GCSEs

I was appalled with this and when we tried to talk to the school the school were unsupportive (as usual). We took her out and put her in a private school which costs us a small fortune and she's now taking 8 GCSEs. I'm so pleased I made that decision especially when I read what some of you are going through. It's too much revision and I've been helping her with her end of year revision over the half term and that is hard enough.

I'm being a bit mumsy here but those who have someone to help them revise - USE THAT SOMEONE, Get lots of rest and don't sit up the night before worrying because if you don't know the answers then you never will.
(Sorry if this is a repeat of what someone else has said but there are 42 pages and I have not read them all)

GOOD LUCK
