Hi Mel

I failed my GCE maths the first time I sat in the summer exams, they were graded 1 to 6 then. I resat in the Nov and passed with a 2. My sister got a 1 first time ! I'm the duffer of the 2 of us.lol

Do your best , if you've been revising you can do no more than that:)
( I didn't revise for the summer exams..too lazy ! )
Good luck and best wishes

She is lovely, Mel.
One summer a cat decided come in the open window and join us - those who didn't like cats were asked to ignore it, pass it on to someone who liked cats, or leave!! It's darned difficult taking notes with a huge ginger tom 'paddling' on your lap!!
Mind you - I don't know how she fed her children - she had no idea how to cook!! She was brought up in india with cooks, Aya's etc., hence she taught Hinduism.

thank yu all for yur good wishes I have been revising sensibly n am reasonably confident x

Maggie I'm jealous Colin Firth's Mum bet she is lovely x

you can do it mel ..knuckle down lol... to think i passed my 11 plus for grammer school.. i wanted to go in to midwifery... but due to circumstances i couldnt ..you grasp all you can with both hands and go for it ..

good luck mel............

Good luck Mel.

You have my whole-hearted admiration. It takes guts to do what you are doing.

Good luck,
Liz

Good luck Mel,

I failed my GCE, but re-took 6months later, I doubt I would have had the courage to retake any later than that.

So well done for your courage and as said GOOD LUCK

Good Luck Mel.I think it is great that you are re sitting,That shows some determination!!

Good luck

Good luck Mel - go for it. And don't stop when you have it. I went back and did mine 10 years ago, I then carried on with higher education and now have a 2.1 degree in History. It is never too late

Good Luck Mel

All the best Mel

I only did religious studies to win the occasional argument with my (now late) Brother in Law - he was a very lapsed Catholic.!
I'm not at all religious, even arranged to do voluntary work whilst at school to avoid RE, PE and games!!!
My dad was a convert to Islam and taught it in Saudi Arabia, so I avoided that - and Budhism!
The tutor in Hinduism was Colin Firth's lovely mum - Shirley!

LOL Maggie sounds like my house I'm not sure I could do a degree though Religeous studies sounds fascinating i=yu must be v proud of yur hard work x

Hi Mel,
Well done on your NVQ3 in teaching assisting!!
I did a degree in Religious Studies and Education (they were seperate - not linked), and I know that the NVQ for Teaching assistants has some of the elements I did in my Education studies - does that entice you towards a degree?
The glory of teenagers is that they can spend an awful lot of time in their bedrooms contemplating their navels - and leave mum alone!!
Mine were 16 and 13 when I started my degree and the elder was hell on earth (she would agree) when I finished - it had nothig to do with my doing a degree - if anythng I had more time to be with her.
Youngest went on to take a degree as - in her words to me 'Don't mean to be disrespectful, but If you can do it, it can't be THAT difficult!!'

...it was a bit more difficult than she thought - but she thoroughly enjoyed it too!
