My eldest daughter really struggled under the pressure of exams, the mere word exam used to make her sweat and shake. Her school were fantastic, along with a connexions adviser they allowed her to take her GCSE exams in a more controlled environment. She was allowed to wear headphones and a CD player but the CD's had to be shop bought and tested by the invigilator. She was in a smaller room with only a couple of others who were there for differing reasons and it made a real difference to how she felt and performed.

My youngest is like Cepb, she excels under pressure and really enjoys the challenge of exams, tests etcc a bit like myself really. She has learnt form me only to be scared if you havent done the work. I keep reminding her that if she does the work it will come much easier to her so she does.

Being a big supporter of life long learning means I always encourage others to go with it and learn something new. At the moment as well as work I am doing a 12 week distance learning dementia care course, an ILM course, and also have moving and handling train the trainer course and a V1 verifiers course booked in.
