Thank you so much for this, I'm going into year 12 after the summer and am really nervous for a new environment and schedule, as well as having chosen really difficult subjects for a-levels. It also doesn't help that I've started to worry about college as well, so these key reminders are really helpful to ground me and remind me of what's truly important: my sanity. I used your videos throughout GCSEs for support (fingers crossed for good results) and am glad that I've got your videos to lean on during sixth form as well!

Thanks, I really needed this especially since I’m going to year 13 and I’ve felt like I wasted my year 12. Could you share your tips on how you managed to apply for dentistry in such a short amount of time and specifically for dentistry any tips on personal statements, extra curricular activities you did, how much work experience, interview strategies/specific things you said and what made you stand out and be accepted in such a competitive field. Thank youuuu 😊

Thanks, I really needed this especially since I’m going to year 13 and I’ve felt like I wasted my year 12 😅. I think taking everything step by step is probably the best thing I can do for year 13.

The writing notes part is so damn true like during gcses i made notes for every single little detail bcz my teachers always said to WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING but i never ended up looking back at those even before exams. Not repeating the same mistake rather just mark down the important stuff from the textbook or print down pretty notes online its so much better this way

Great tip for maths just go over the text book, watch videos and practice, practice, practice past paper questions, as of now I don't have any proper maths notes for a level, just past papers that are done and a mind map of all the important things I must remember. I also do Chemistry luckily my teacher has a youtube channels so I can learn ahead thus I also do mindmaps for chemistry and just study. Biology is a lot of content so I take notes for that and memorize and most importantly UNDERSTAND! Also is anyone else nervous for results day (those going to year 13)?

thank you so much! feeling much more prepared and optimistic for year 13 now and glad im not the only person who doesn't think note taking is a valuable use of time

Honestly thank you so much, this video is super helpful, although even hearing about sixth form makes me panic. Really worried about moving on, at the moment it feels like I’m being flung into the arctic all alone, since I’m going to a good school, better than my secondary, which is the worst in the area. I think it’s best to work hard and take it slow, as you said, and not beat myself up with small things that are inconsequential. This video reassured me, thank you:)

This is actually amazing, thank you so much; I’ve just started yr 12 and I have been stressing a little bit because I don’t want to make the same mistakes I did during GCSES but watching this actually gives me a clear idea about what I shouldn’t do. Thank you smmmm 💕🎀🤍 your content is always so helpful !

[nagia]

Thank you for making these types of videos jaden! You’re like a big brother to us 🩷 thank you for all your advice and motivational words

I wish i could give this video multiple likes! I especially love the section about not letting yourself be influenced by others and doing things at your own pace. Im currently at the start of year 11 and struggle with motivation and revising although im predicted 7-9s, and other people with the same predicted grades always seem so much more organised than me which stresses me out. So I really appreciate the reminder that everyones doing their own thing, and i definitely will keep this in mind next year at college, thanks :)

Thanks for this video, I love seeing your knowledge being shared especially because I'll be following similar subjects and it was after a pretty rough GCSEs and I need to make sure I don't bite more than I can chew for such a vital year towards year 12

I started year 12 and idk i felt horrible like im dropping maths alevel but dont know what to chose instead but all of it created stress and anxiety which i got over because i took a day off but i felt overwhelmed i felt scared abt alevels bcuz of the negativity that i was surrounded by but i felt relieved listening to u so thank u 😭🫶🏻

[andi巫]

All these suggestions can also be applied in college study.I’m so impressed by your witness, cause it took me literally a whole entire year in uni to understand those tips that you have mentioned, and even though i understand those tips, it’s still hard for me to follow it. You are meant to be someone!

[HelloKittyLover-]

this video helped sm thank you it was a relief to hear some things, but im mostly worried about revision im so bad at it i hate revising :/ but i hope with the courses i have chosen i will have a bit more fun i honestly hope so

[SS__swag]

Thank u so much for this video, it's made me feel prepared and feel so much better about starting year 12! :)

[felixscheesestick]

honestly I'm going to make flashcards in my lessons instead of notes that way once I get home I can start using them immediately.
notes haven't helped me either, I plan on only writing the tips teachers give us (stuff you can't get from the textbook)

[dalmapeller]

Yeha ive made the writing notes i a mgoing into second year and i am just trying to take everything step by step. its difficult but it is this way for a reason. Thank you for sharing your mistakes

[Book_recs]

thank you so much for this video it really reassured me before going into year 12 ❤

Cant underestimate the free period tip, I was basically the only person who actually used my frees throughout year 12 especially before my end of years, I got 3 A* predicted whilst most of them got predicted C’s at most
