GCSE HELP

[Lj08]

my son is starting his GCSEs and he said the problem is the answer he has in his head is not the same as what he put down on paper, the school said he is not aloud a scribe, I have been telling them since he started school this was the problem, they have given him a laptop but he said it still doesn’t help, has anyone else got any suggestions for me

With thanks LJ

hi don't really have an answer for your son. When I was doing my nursing degree had the same thing was reading one thing and answered another where I would fail exam the tutor who checked exam paper would say first class answer pitty it was not the question asked. Hope he finds a solution

what a arse fancy a teacher saying that to a student. God I do feel for children these days they have it so hard I just wish that these people who mark the exam papers how hard they have got it.

in what grounds have the school said he is not allowed one? Have they said he is allowed extra time?

Going back a few years but the most helpful practice I found for exams was doing practice papers so I could get used to style of questions.

I hope you find something that helps him

hi ClareLou

He has extra time, and a laptop but he said he just doesn’t know how to put things down.

We have been doing practice papers and he just switches off it gets so much for him he says I get told the same at school and at home, mum révise revise and then he broke down in tears heart breaking it really was, I feel I not helping at all
