Key stage 4 but I did have to think about it Does it stop if you get one wrong?

No CO beeps from the bathroom but according to the instructions the battery won't last as long if I keep it there.

Sorry about the source, but this is quite a fun quiz... how tech savvy are you in Key Stage terms? Are you smarter than a 5 year old?

You reached Key Stage 4

This means your digital know-how is up there with 14 to 16 year-olds. #DigitalGuruInTheMaking

I did it this morning. Got up to Key Skills Stage 4 and it stops. But then I've got an A level in Computer Science and half a degree in computer programming stuff.... (from 15 years ago), so I'd expect to have answered the questions easily.

I failed level 1.

Key stage 4 here....

I cannot bear fizzy water, just plain still water for me please. I'm the same with all fizzy drinks although occasionally, I will want a gulp of coke/pepsi, I could never finish a whole can though.

Youngest very stressed and after a bit of a mistake (he was put on an art and design course instead of a media one), he now has his timetable for college start proper tomorrow....doing business studies plus his maths resit. Youngest is good at art, has even sold artwork but something happened at high school (I have no idea what) and apart from doing absolutely gorgeous maps, refuses to do any drawing whatsoever, so art and design was never going to fly with him.

He does like business studies though and is actually very good at it and that was his preferred choice but having already done one course in it, it was initially unclear if funding could be obtained for him to do the one they are offering...luckily, it can be (confirmed today), hence the media course and the subsequent boo boo.

I must say, the college have been brilliant and they have been doing their upmost to try not to unsettle him too much with the messing about, prefering to talk to me about the options/difficulties before confirming things with him when things are clearer...and they also appear very keenly aware of the steps they need to take to make him feel more comfortable and less stressed.

We are also trying the bus again in the morning, youngest's ideal would be me driving him and bringing him back but I have told him that is just not possible, it's a 30 mile round trip and doing that twice a day would cost an absolute fortune and would hinder/restrict my chances of employment, whilst also not doing much to further his social skills/ability to cope....oh and plus the blooming bus has been paid for, £180 would be down the tubes!

He will have friends on the bus, it doesn't go anywhere else as it is a direct and dedicated bus service, so the only ones on the bus are students of the college but for him, it is a massive, massive thing....only time will tell if this is going to be successful.

Hope that works out well.

We've finally got DS into a school he can walk to, and that understands him (we think). He also has to do retake courses but we hope a re-mark may solve one of them.

Can Mr. Google not find the instructions somewhere?

Pleased this mystery has been solved

You would surely think so!

I'm in Kent with my favourite sons, favourite sisters and fave parents. Lacking only fave lover, but you can't have it all!

I'm knackered - Kermie's teething / got a sore throat / otherwise broken in some way, and I was in court yesterday and today

Cuddles with his Granny will do him a lot of good (-:

I got "stage 4" whic seemed wrong to me - quite a few of the questions were maths, general knowledge or logic, I reckon.
