Good luck for AGSB tomorrow
Posted: Fri Sep 11, 2015 9:28 am
Just a quick good luck message for boys sitting the exam tomorrow. Last tips-sound obvious but you would be surprised the number of people who are speeding up at the last minute or even worse looking for directions as they have never been to the school ( honestly !!)
Allow plenty of time
Park well away from school , recommend somewhere in Alty town centre and then a nice calm walk up- its mad near the school so don't even attempt to park close by.
There will be a queue and it will be long, but everyone will get in!
The staff are really nice once they get in the class room, they do their best to keep the boys calm and the year my son sat they gave them a fun puzzle task to settle them in. The boy next to my son was very stressed, and his mum didn't help by hovering all over him till the last minute. Just say a quick 'good luck do your best' and then leave them alone!
My son is in lower sixth and will be helping out.
I remember how I felt myself
