It's exam time for the AB - and as the pampered public school educated offspring of doting professional parents she's not worried - why should she be?
Because I, her screaming harpy of a "first generation to go to University" mother say she should be that's why! I didn't battle my way through the 11 plus , 10 o Levels and 4 A Levels so that she could be a slacker! No - that isn't the way it's supposed to work.
So she is subjected to a constant barrage of questioning about how may Latin declentions she has by heart and whether she has really done the practice French comprehension that she said she had - whilst listening to the sound track of High School Musical 3, obviously.
I periodically scream "it won't be my fault when you're sweeping the streets! I've done my best!" not sure it's helping.

I'm sure they'll excel at everything with your direction and encouragement.
They'll explain all that to their psychiatrists in middle age.
I know I'm being irrational - I'm afraid it's a case of "I was petrified of exams why aren't you???"
She will be fine - despite me no doubt!
Your daughter comes from good stock, she'll be fine!
