Argh! Tried it from my blacberry but when I clicked 'finish' nothing happened.


The code bit was the hardest for me and I'm sure I got those two wrong (at least). What did you fail on Huguenot?


I couldn't pass my exams again if I were to sit them now. Pretty sure my brain has gone to mush. Btw, there are grammar schools in Scotland still although probably not in the sense they mean in the article.

What a refreshingly honest post LM. Let's face it, any one of us could post on here saying we'd got all (or nearly all) the answers right.


But my advice is don't give up if you get stuck at the first question. This is what I was taught to do in exams, don't spend too long on a question if you don't know it, marks against time and all that. You never know there may have been a question further down that you could have easily answered and that may have helped you to answer the rest (tu)

I did okay... actually I got awarded 16 out of 15 because I got them all right (of course) and also managed to correct the mangled grammar that framed some of the questions which earned me a bonus point, a gold star, and I was made milk monitor for next week :)).

I cheated, so don't know how I'd have done. I'd guess about 10 or 12.


But it struck me that the questions were terribly trainable. It took me about 3 minutes just to get my head around what on earth the first question was on about, then I was off, much faster with the rest. If I'd sat a few practice papers, it would have been much easier throughout. So as with so many exams, those privy to the secrets of the system, the coached and encouraged, would have had a flying start.

    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
