10 things you should know if you’re going to sixth form this year 

Apologise accepted

What subjects did you take? If you don’t mind answering

me

I'm going into year 6 in England

Me

Omg yass😂😂

yes! she looks like theo lee

I'm going the week after

Im going into year 12 and I’m actually quite excited. However I do think that the following scenario will happen quite a lot lol: Everyone else in frees: doing their homework and being productive Me and my friends: *playing smash bros on the switch*

MK Alsterboy123 that’ll probably be me 😂

ThatNorthenLas oh lol. U have that game too? Or ur saying u gonna slack off during frees as well?

Meeting my tutor groups/having assembly on Wednesday, then a day off and then "starting lessons" on Friday which I think means go to the classroom, meet ur classmates, and then have ur teacher lecture u about everything from what ull be learning, making friends, sixth form life to homework and things that makes the teacher angry "but as long as we don't do it we'll be fine" 😂

Yay I’m so happy it was helpful! & no problem, best of luck with it all Charlotte! Xx

Charlotte Victoria Beeden ,

Just try and get there early or maybe go into an empty classroom? And loads of people have their frees alone, it’s definitely not anything to worry about xx

Don't get me wrong, it's weird at first, but you end up adjusting to it. I used to find an empty classroom and me and maybe 2 friends would go and work Make sure they're not chatty though (I chat and if they chat back then that's the whole free gone 😂)

Hope you have a great year! Xx

Which school?

No problem, good luck with sixth form! X

Pleased it was useful! And you’re very welcome :) x

No problem! Thank you so much and good luck with year 12 :) xx

Awe no! I love your channel! and literally, it drives me mad😂x

No problem! Xx

No problem, really glad it helped. Good luck with sixth form as well, I’m sure you’ll really enjoy it :) xx

im not that stressed either,

No problem, so pleased it was useful xx

Thank you! X

Hamza I’m dying for Thursday! In a way I want to get it done and over with but I don’t want to get them as well lol. It’s so strange a piece of paper with a bunch of letters on it decides what we do for the next two years

Mollyanne Davidson true just thinking about it proves how important it is for your future 😂😂😂

Try not to worry about it too much (I know people who got into my school who didn’t even get the grades but maybe that’s just my school?). Best of luck though! Xxx

Hamza it’s nerve wrecking! Best of luck to you! I hope you get what you want! 💛

Mollyanne Davidson same 🙏🏾

Not sure yet, maybe I could do when mine is finalised xx

I completely agree with you about literally everything you said here! Xx

Rhiannon Thank god ahhaa. If it was just me id be so worried 😬😂. Just finished sixth form so unfortunately I know the ins and outs, the ups and downs

Maddie yeah, i’m going to year 10 too rip

I’ve just finished year 11 and I’d say please please please do your notes and flashcards as you go along because it got to year 11 and I felt so overwhelmed and ended up having to cram

I do briefly talk about that in a video coming up although if I’m honest i don’t remember too much about year 10 x

Seriously. I would say write up and organise your GCSE notes and make sure you go home and rewrite them but CONDENSING THEM. Don't leave it to April of Y11 because you will panic and spend more time writing your notes than actually properly revising them. If you're struggling with maths, get a tutor at the beginning of Y11 or even better, Y10 if you're lucky enough to have enough money for it.

Maddie coming from someone who got all 8s and 9s, honestly, just enjoy year 10. it's not a big deal. enjoy your lessons and just pay attention to what's being taught lol. you'll probably get an end of year exam - revise for that but not too intensely, it'll just help you to find a revision technique that works for you for next year. don't worry about revising until maybe december of year 11, and even then all i recommend is doing some flash cards / going over revision guides just to recap what you did in year 10. then when april / may comes along all you have to do is go over what you already know before the exams start. seriously - don't stress! prioritise your health, physically and mentally. heck, there were days when i knew i had a gcse exam the next day but i had to focus on my own health so went for a two hour bike ride to clear my head. there's nothing wrong with cramming by the way! even the most prepared students will find themselves revising one subject the day before the exam just so it's fresh in their heads for the next day. this might not work for everyone but did for me. good luck and enjoy high school while it lasts x

I have no idea why I can’t say it properly 😂 and thank you, there is some year 11 advice in one of my next couple of videos xx

Rhiannon Awesome! Can’t wait to see it x

Thank you xx

Haha I’m glad you agree! And I don’t feel like I’m in the position to talk about it just yet as mine isn’t quite perfect but I will definitely consider doing it in the future xx

1. Write down anything that's springs to mind. You can rearrange and sieve through later but you need to see it all in one place. Write about why you want to study that course, what you have done to show you like the subject (e.g. Books, podcasts, lecture etc) , extra curricular activities which show that you are a balanced student. Sometime on the uni course website they'll tell you what they look for in a student for that subject- use those words or refer to those attributes. 2. Your first draft will NOT be your final draft. I think I ended up doing about 20 drafts from the first ever word document I wrote. Th end results was completely different. Completely. Don't be afraid of this. You'll get into the swing of it. My first draft was so cringy it makes me feel sick 😂 3. You will go over the word limit. Yes yes I know, right now it's probably more 'how am I gonna reach it!' But trust me, everyone ends up going over. When that happens you can really get picky with what you put in and the result will be a clear and concise statement. 4. Be completely honest but obviously if you have done things emphasise that. Don't just write 'I read X book and enjoyed it'. Say like 'I read X book and the chapter on Y really inspired me because......and I would like to discover more around this subject at university.' 5. Be yourself! Don't someone else to write it. You need to put your own stamp on it. They're gonna want to see who you are and as they aren't going to meet you, unless it's an interview subject, you need to out yourself across. The best way of doing that is to write it yourself and then get advice, but keep things in your words.

i'm done now. I'm kinda shook of a levels

Ruby Munn tysm for you answer, it‘s really helpful! I wish u good luck in sixth form too! 💗

Tiana Ray i'm wondering the same thing.. right now all i've got is a refill pad and a pen 😂

FAM I GOT U get a ring binder and lever arch file for each subject, keep ur work from the topic ur studying in the ringbinder so u can look back on it easily and revise etc, then condense and file all ur notes down into the lever arch file when u finish the topic. I keep a refill pad in a little plastic folder which i use instead of notebooks, cuz then u can file them in a folder with handouts etc. otherwise, just like a little pencil case with some pens and whateva u fancy (AND DEFO HIGHLIGHTERS), a pair of earphones and a usb cable to charge ur phone off the computers while ur working lol....worked pretty well for me last year (if u do certain subjects u might need specific stuff, the website for your courses should let u know tho)

Sia Janjua thank you sm xx

Sia Janjua oh my goodness thank you so much!! this helps loads xx

Cerys Cooper Tiana Ray good luck next year!! X

Keep with 4 until you're sure- hahah catchy tagline Subjects that seem like the best bet at the beginning of the year may turn out to be your least favourite by the end. Give it enough time to know for definite. The content of the lessons changes and you go through the specification and you may not like it. Also it will get harder and you may find you're naturally better at the other subjects. I know people who dropped weeks before final exams

Charlie Turley same😌

yes, definitely! I switched mine after 2 and a bit weeks but some people waited a bit longer xx

No xx

I get you, i’m so socially awkward! Can never go a-miss with “hi my name is (name)”, “what subjects are you taking?”, “which secondary school did you go to?”, “what do you think so far (of sixth form/subjects)?” & hopefully conversation can just flow from there :) Everyone wants to make friends xx

Same hereeee

Well I'm screwed then

Katie wood I was told an E was like an A

Someone told me it was a D

Yes.

A couple of weeks in and it depends on whether your school still does the As, mine doesn’t so I didn’t do one xx

Rhiannon thanks

Rhiannon for what reason? In the process of watching the vid now so you might answer in the video but if you don’t why did you drop geog I’m contemplating taking it?

Taz i got a gut feeling that it wasn’t for me and I didn’t particularly enjoy the lessons because they were all physical geog xx

that’s how mafia works I WAS THINKING A PRETTIER FEMALE VERSION OF CASPER oopsie

Didn’t do As xx

Aw thanksss:) forever thanking Facetune for making me look less shiny xxxx

Yeah sorry I dont I can really help since I haven't started A-levels, but there's something called "Student room" and you can ask questions about anything there. I would defiantly make an account and put that question there or see if you can find individual answers from other people about each subject. Good luck! Let me know if it works

@@yorkielover2676 thankyou I did look and couldnt really see much but thanks anyway

mee. Having induction days this month. Nervous as.

How hard is it
