As far as I know there are some GCSE'S that may have started already if they havent started this week then they will by next...
I found the whole GCSE exam time really stressful as a parent...there were a lot of exams in quite a short space of time,its been much easier on us all this year as DS has had fewer subjects albeit ones that require more detail but they are the ones he likes and dare I say enjoys
He really struggled with languages and was forced to take a language at GCSE that he had no interest in whatsoever....thats when learning becomes a chore.....
At the moment he's still on a pretty even keel about the exams...ask me in 3 weeks time and it could all be a different story!
I know that stressed feeling and the feeling of helplessness as you see them under so much pressure, my son started his today but has no study leave so it must vary dependent on what county you are in
Hope all goes well for your son and for you as wellx

The NHS is in crisis and the Tories have done it on purpose. Run it down to a point it's worth nothing, is costing a fortune and get the people on side to privatise it.
And yet people can't see it as they are too wrapped up in their own lives.
When you go to A&E in America their first question isn't "where does it hurt?" it's "how will you be paying?"
Are thing going to have to go that far here before people realise? By then it will be too late.
That's what pretty much happened last week in the America. But will it happen in the UK I don't know0 -
Re the exams..in past years many subjects were so bunched up together in the exam timetable that the time to collate and mark them all was becoming impossible ( even with the new scanning and online software innovations) if the deadlines were to be met for results to get out in time for further education cut off points for admissions etc. So...the timetable was elongated... Not sure if I was either a parent of someone sitting the exam or the student taking it that I'd like it being drawn out over a longer period though..:A NI FEIDIR ACH LE DIA BREITHIUNAS A DHEANAMH ORM0
