RS (Christianity and Hinduism here) not great for DS. Chemistry and French good, he also reported some unexpected styles of question in Biology (Edexcel).
One week down three to go!
Still very chilled. Is this normal? Suspect that demeanour may change come results day!

Reality will bite the week after half term which is brutal - why the exam boards have timetabled the exams so that major, non optional subjects are on the same day, is beyond me. The kids will be on their knees at the end of that week....

Yes that's the worst week here too. Dd has 2 exams on all her maths exam days (history and geography which are presumably quite popular subjects) which is a bit annoying.
She had 5 exams this week, 6 next, 8 the week after half term, then 5 the last week again

DS has 8 this side of half term (over 2 weeks) and 15 the other side (over 2 weeks).....

Ouch.

Maths (AQA) more difficult than expected according to DS.

DS2 said that the Edexcel one was 'Good'.

[kenyancowgirl]

Yes, we had the assertion that Edexcel Maths was "easy", as was Geog (AQA...I think....?) We shall see, come results day....!

Dd's feedback:
AQA RS yesterday was much better than last week.
EdExcel maths was good.
OCR geography was "weird" and not like other past papers but fine.

[Bustermartin]

DS reckoned the AQA Mathematics yesterday was fine. He has been fairly relaxed about most of them so far - though today's Spanish and Physics may be a different story! We shall see come results day!
