1. Plan your revision 2. Create long-term and short-term goals 3. Block the distractions 4. Condense your notes 5. Efficient revision 6. Not all revision has to be neat 7. Essay plans 8. Find your study space

I can tell by the right angled lamp, the grey wall that matches the bed cover, the black plant pots that match the colour of the lamp and moreso the way the tshirt completely blends in to the background that you're a complete organisation freak. I wish I could attain that level of perfection.

I started highschool with straight A's , now I'm not even straight...

Jack’s tips to get A*: 1)Plan your revision 2)Make short and long term goals 3)Put all distractions aside 4) Condense your notes! Write things you *NEED* to know 5)Revise efficiently! Work smart not hard 6)Your notes don’t have to be beat! 7) Make essay plans 8)Find your study space 9)Teach yourself as you go 10)Look after yourself! DON’T stress! Thanks Jack

"Condense and then condense again" - this strategy is so useful! It helps to separate the waffle from the bits you personally need, works very effectively for me! Fantastic tips as always Jack, awesome video! 😅

YASSSS this is so good!! 👏 (and that Hannah Montana moment was obviously a highlight haha ;)) x

I am doing my a Levels in 2022, was meant to be doing my GCSE's this year... I didn't do very well in secondary but I really want to do well in my A Levels, thanks for the video :)

Congrats On the A*!!! I have tried this for 3 month now and it has helped a lot, thank you I have seen an improvement from C and B to A and A* in science (since I need help in science) I thank you 100%

Does watching this video count as revision?? 🤔

I'm 22 and finished my a levels 4 years ago...why tf am I watching this 😂

who’s here after gcses and alevels have been cancelled

Even thought I don’t do any of these subjects I’m here 😂 to take any advice I can get

This was overwhelmingly helpful. As someone who’s having a total meltdown over A levels right now, this was so so helpful. Thank you so much!

videos like this usually make me feel worse about my alevels because my way of studying is very different to everyone elses, alongside feeling unmotivated 24/7 but THIS video has genuinely helped so much. thank you!! 💪🏼

stop stressing me out, i still have one year till my exams LET ME ENJOY MY LAST SUMMER WITHOUT STRESS

#11: stop smoking weed instead of revising 💀

I GOT NEW RULES I COUNT 'EM

Tried to revise my a level politics today I was so unmotivated. You're videos actually make me motivated to revise aha.

I am such a neat freak and it takes ages to do my notes, going to have to face my fear and try that more 'messy' way of doing it from time to time!

New revision tip: use Jack as a reward! It is slightly sad but nothing like watching someone do better than you, after you’ve done the work 😂

The last tip just reminded me that I'm important. It hit me so hard. Thank you 💙

during study leave I used to get my mum to take my phone to work with her - a bit harsh maybe but there was no possible temptation to go on it at all during the day and I could really properly appreciate being able to use it in the evenings!

BABY JACK

Excellent tips, as someone who succeeded at A-Levels, I can confirm that these are good tips and i would highly recommend! Also, examiners reports are good to look at. I would also hand your teacher an essay every day, or two days, because they cant say no, as its their job!

I am SO HAPPY I've found this channel because you've done the 2/3 a-levels i have and the same modules so far!!!

I've been feeling so unmotivated lately, but watching videos like yours and other revision youtubers really truly wakes my educational brain area (does that make sense?) up and gets me motivated to get as much as possible done!

Thank you SO much for making this Jack!! I'm in year 13 and this has really inspired me to sort my self out and get my head down and revise in an efficient and productive manner.

"this isn't some 1080p humble brag" -That's right, it's a 720p humble brag. (jk)

this gets recommended like everyday

Self Control has saved my life- it's SUCH a great app! Great video as always! x

this gets recommended every single day

RU-vid won't stop recommending this for some reason. not that I'm complaining really

1. Plan 2. Short term goals. 3. Block distractions 4. Condense your notes 5. Efficient revision 6. Not all revision has to be neat 7. Do essay-planning 8. Find your study space 9. Teach yourself as you go 10. Look after yourself . . . . . . . . . Great video jack, helped me a lot. Hoping for more good content. Thank You !!!!!!!

This was so helpful. I’ve been doing intense “topic a day” revision since the start of Easter and I found myself entirely burnt out after five or so days and had to just cut myself off from work. I’m starting again today and starting the day with this to get me in the right mindset 🌦

I just started my learning for my a levels (I’m in year 12) and found this video really motivating and positive! I’ve been really struggling with motivation and have been getting overwhelmed with work, this makes me think that it is possible to keep up with the mountains of work😂 I’ve also been off of Instagram and snapchat for a few days and honestly it helps so much, could not recommend it more!

THEY PLAYED THIS AT MY SIXTH FORM COLLEGE JUST NOW. That just proves your tips are amazing. They surely got me motivated to go and revise for my three A Levels ❤️

I just found your channel and I'm doing GCSEs right now, but this was honestly the most helpful revision video I've seen. Like...I'm *genuinely* about to get up and revise because of this! Normally I kinda just watch the videos and feel bad at how organised everyone is compared to me, but this motivated me a lot :)

You have no idea how much this helps! i’m getting so distracting and i’m nowhere near ready to do an exam next month!!!

I'm a mature student and having watched a few of these videos I have to say this was not only informative, but very responsible including the mental health advice. Sterling work young man. I'm not surprised you did so well in your exams. 👍

thank you so much for telling me that time spent planning is not time spent wasting. I've always been so annoyed that i "waste " time on planning but I realize now that some people just do much better with planning. and also...I AM SO HAPPY I AM NOT THE ONLY HUMAN THAT MAKES 15 MINUTE PLANS FOR THE ENTIRE DAY. it always keeps me going. Ticking the boxes are my motivation.

Super informative stuff. Personally, I achieve in History A-Level with a slightly taxing method. Throughout the year I would copy out all wider reading and textbook stuff the day I learnt it (yes this meant occasionally copying out 4-5 pages of text in one day). These notes would be neat, colorful and in a book. I would read the books sporadically throughout the year slowly getting the information into my head. Now, as its close to exams, I re-read the note heavy books and highlight but crucially annotate each paragraph as I go along with the most key ideas present This makes sure you engage with the notes and get important info learnt. Also, with each topic I would make an analytical summary with the key dates, questions, way of thinking and events/ links between events. This method is tedious but if you keep it up all year everything absorbs so well and you gets loads of extra information as you allow yourself not to just 'mega-condense' which can lead to a loss of some niche information that may give your essay that A* edge.

Thank you so much for the tips you have shared especially as exams are near. Making essay plans really works and helps me remember the information

This is honestly so much more helpful than any other video I’ve watched on this topic- thank you so much

This is the first of your videos I have watched I can’t believe I have only just found you now! I am about to do my GCSE mock exams and all of these tips are so useful thank you so much we’ll done on your amazing results!

Thank youuu for this video, whenever I’m having a negative moment I’m just going to remember your positivity that anything is attainable achievable and I can do anything I set my mind to!! 👍🏻👍🏻

FINALLY, someone who gave me some real help. literally, everyone else just keeps saying you're mental health is this and that and blah blah blah. no one has actually given me some ACTUAL tips that are study-related.

Just found this channel a few days ago. You honestly seem like such a nice, genuine guy. Great content! Thank you for all these useful tips! Good luck for this year's exams. I've been to Durham once and it's a beaut place!

These tips are so hecking useful. I’m taking my A levels in about two months and now I’m more motivated than ever to do well. That’s it I’m subscribing to him he’s freaking awesome

Thank you Jack for posting this. Especially when it's exam season for us college students. You are a very kind and thoughtful person/RU-vidr. Thanks.. EDIT: Love from the North east - Sunderland

This is so useful for GCSE as well, thank you!

Point 1 so right! Planning you revision is so so important! You will do so much better and spend way less time if you make yourself a game plan! Start with an overall weekly timetable and track your progress within each subject making sure you allow for space repetition

Best study video I've ever watched. So helpful. I have my GCSEs starting from day after tomorrow, wish me luck.

Slightly awkward, and may be a little weird, but I’ve been binge watching your videos every since I discovered you! I’ve not been so fascinated by a RU-vid channel in a long time! You’ve literally inspired me to actually revise. You seem like a genuinely supportive person! Good job ☺️☺️☺️

These tips are gold, thanks 😄

This is so helpful. I started my A levels this school year and it was so much harder than I expected and it’s so hard to find a good way to revise and stay focused.

Just shared this with my students . I think it is really good to hear from students themselves. You are basically talking about the same things I would advise, but it is coming better from you! Thank you for this! :-)

You are a real solid lad I'm currently in my Gcses and I must say this also helps me out haha so thank you xx you know to be informative clear and motivating Have a lovely day to you too

I needed this! I've had a dreadful cold for the past few days and I have felt useless, thank you so much !! X

Thank you so much! As a new year 12 that's aiming for medical school, this is very so. Even though I don't do any of the subjects you do, the thing I struggle the most is how not to procrastinate, I'll try out some of these tips. And may I add this tip that helped me during GCSE's and that's do past papers, they help immensely.

I have my mocks coming up and this is the best video I've seen for revision! This has really motivated me to revise and I've discovered methods of revising that I'd never heard of until now. Thankyou so much for this! And congratulations on such fantastic grades!

Such a useful video jack! I’m really struggling with motivating myself right now so this is just what I needed so thank you 🙏 Seren x

This video is just what I needed 😊 thank you so much. Alevels are sooo hard there’s so much new content which keeps adding up !!

I can’t believe how much you’ve inspired me!!😭 I just did my GCSE’s and I’m about to do my A levels next year, I’m a bio student, I’m taking up chem,phy and bio and probably English and there are so many things to study and those tips just boosted my confidence and made me wanna start next year with hope to do much much better and definitely, work harder ♥️ it’s so inspiring, seeing you tubers like you! 😭 thanks a lot, I wish you immense success in the future!
