Younger dd did her last four papers today so my family is finally done. We have a couple of interviews next week but no more papers. 10th November 2009 to today. How will I manage without my constant companions Verbal Reasoning, Maths, Creative Writing and Comprehension! Oh yes, I just remembered. DAO have moved their CATs tests forward to July! And younger dd has Maths, Science and English Sats in early May! So just a short break then. Is everyone done with exams now or are there a few poor souls still plugging away? DG

we were done last Tuesday.....A bit sad but also quiet relief....No more stress, pressure, constant worry that we should be doing just a little bit more. Didn't really appreciate the toll it would take. Look back and wonder what would have happened if we did not put that effort in. It's all worth it in the end (God willing).

No more Maths, English, VR and non-VR, all those mirror codes, fabanoicci thingy me jigs etc...Enjoy the break..

I am learning lots about DAO lately :) and i did think if you already had a child there then the siblings had right of passage without testing?
