HOW TO GET AN A* IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE A LEVEL | ENGLISH LANGUAGE TIPS AND TRICKS

Welcome back everybody! So, lots of you have seen my A level results video and have since been asking me how I got an A* in English language.

Rather than just copying and pasting the same dm to everyone, I thought it was about time I made a video explaining how I did it (on the eve of the English language exam).

Got like Ds and Es over both of the two years, watched your video a couple weeks before the exam and got a B. Absolute legend thank you so much for the help, managed to help me get into uni!!!

[hexityecstasy]

I really underestimated the amount of work I'm going to have to do for this alevel lmao

[MartiStelling]

Thank you so much for this! There is so little on YT for English Language A Level, it seems to be all Lit and GCSE!


I'm doing Media too haha!

[mattgrant]

Im 25 and starting my A levels again... This has been really illuminating... And helped give me a better idea of structuring my essays. Thanks!

[georgiaewington]

I feel like A* and English language don’t belong in the same sentence together

[internetslothh]

i don't know why i'm watching this in 2020... when my exams were all cancelled solid vid tho! <3

[elvirastyles]

Thank you so much for this honestly! I went from having a D in my last mock to getting a B in my final results and the highest in my whole school thanks to your tips (+ some precious night before revision😉😂)

[catherinewalch]

I watched this multiple times before my paper 1 mock exam, AND I GOT AN A*! Thanks so much this is so, so helpful :) (I promise I'm not trying to brag so sorry if it comes across that way, I just want to let you know that your way of explaining exam technique is SO good!) lol

[deannajade]

Hiii! (Dunno if you remember me, I DM'd you on insta and your advice helped me get the first A in English ever - your advice is AMAZING and you are a literal God-send)! Thanks so much for doing this video! PLEASE do one for paper 2!!! I also sobbed after one of my exams (yesterday lol) cus I felt like I'd messed it all up with the CLA question but it's reassuring to know that it all worked out for you. THANKS AGAIN!! xx

Absolute legend I'm only 2 and a half months in and I'm already getting A's for my work thanks for all your advice. Love your videos ✌

[nevie]

This is so so useful, I’ve watched so many times! You have so much character ❤❤

[sophiecooke]

This was really helpful, especially since I'm going into Yr13 this September (2020) and I have mocks at the end of the month. It's better for me to put more effort in now just in case if my A-Levels get cancelled next year in 2021. Then at the very least I'll have done well and will have a chance at being able to do English Language and Creative Writing at University.

To preface, you saved my academic journey.

I hadn’t exactly revised for my English language exams but before the exams I watched your videos, then I revised the night before. This turned out to be invaluable because I received a C, which was exactly what I needed due to my offer being heavily reduced. I’m am eternally in your debt.

Thanks you ever so much.

P.S: If you haven’t revised, all is not lost.

P.P.S: DO REVISE! I can’t emphasise that enough. I egregiously underachieved on my potential.

This is an achual God-send thank you so, so much you have saved a gal from yet another breakdown!

Hey, loved this video because it’s so jam packed of handy info! Basically I’m at the end of Year 10 at the minute, and I’ve been wondering which a-levels to choose. There’s so much on YouTube for English Literature but not English Language!! So I was wondering if you could do a video in the future please just summarising your whole experience with English Language, what the course includes and why you chose it etc. If you could do that it’d be SO helpful cos I don’t know which English to pick!! Thank you so much😊

[meb]

again, SO helpful. just watched your paper 2 video before this and have so many notes on the questions. due to the timing of my exam my teachers taken off CLD because we’ve not started it so we have 2 evaluate questions instead, one being on technology. so helpful!! my exams aren’t for another 2 weeks but i refuse to get below a B 😭

[raerae]

Thank you for these videos they’ve really helped me throughout my course !

[misskatx]

I started English Language A-Level a little more than two months ago, it is very tough! I’m currently trying to catch up on work because I had a huge confidence drop and it really affected my classwork :( It’s a shame that there aren’t many Eng Lang videos around so I’ll be saving this one for mocks! Wanting to get an A in A-Levels and my current predicted is a C! Thanks for the video, it is very clear and understandable 💛

[abigailalma]

thank you so much!! a video for paper 2 would be great too :)

[freyastoodley]

Wow love her energy. So helpful, you deserve so much!!!
