5 Reasons Why I LOVE Exam Season *not just sarcasm* || A More Positive Outlook & Motivation x 

We all know *no one* needs a video on all the bad & stressful things about exam season, BUT I thought it might be an uplifting twist to attempt to find 5 things I don't minddddd about the world of exams. I'm wishing you guys all the luck with revision etc!! Look after yourself and go into it with as positive a mindset as you can! (& I know it's hard.) 💛 YOU'VE GOT THIS!! xx

sometimes when you're studying it just feels so natural and so much easier and it's kinda fun that day compared to other times and honestly, these moments are so satisfying and i live for them !!

I absolutely love how exams bring people together. I've seen (and experienced) friends helping one another study, friends helping each other during extreme stress or breakdowns, classmates that wouldn't normally talk to each other become closer, all because of that collective experience; I've definitely strengthened my friendships through this intense period of time.

I love the feeling when the last exam is over and you leave the hall feeling elated. It’s all over and summer has officially begun for me now. I also love the feeling of getting a question you predicted and knowing you’ve aced that question.

I love how people are so supportive of each other during exam season.

More smiling, less worrying. More compassion, less judgment. More blessed, less stressed. More love, less hate ;)

Can't forget about exam twitter, it was one of the best things about GCSEs for me hahaha

honestly like i graduated from my undergrad in 2016 and thought my exam life was over but now im sitting accounting exams and i’ve found your videos so helpful so thank you. this is so transferable for later life and will undoubtedly help develop a good work ethic.

The best thing about exam season it that you can already see the finish line. You know you are getting there with all of your hard work and it just makes things more sensible and meaningful.

My friend and I were talking about liking exam season recently and everyone thought we were a bit weird but obviously we’re not alone! Ngl the exam tweets are the best thing ever and I also feel you appreciate the time you spend with your family or doing what you enjoy way more when it’s so limited. Hope you’re doing good Jade xxx

Reads the title *Are you mad Jade?!* Then I thought to myself, this is what Jade is all about though and she is the positivity queen x

Thanks for this Jade! I'm a first year at Cambridge, and for years exams have been about totally smashing it and getting the best grades possible. While that situation totally feels good, this year at uni - where it all feels so much more up in the air - it's been hard not to hold myself to ridiculously high standards. So this term especially I've been trying to cultivate a healthier attitude to work and exams. It's hard sometimes letting myself be content with not pushing to be the absolute best, especially when people around me seem to have become revision hermits. But I'm beginning to accept that actually, me just being here sitting the exams is an incredible achievement (especially since I had some course issues and striking lecturers which meant I missed a lot of content!) I don't need a grade to determine my fate, as Suli Breaks says. Thanks for voicing this feeling and inspiring me towards a wholesome and healthy attitude to studying 💕

This is EXACTLY what I needed! I have 3 exams on Tuesday, my first GCSEs (I'm gonna be tired lol) and I feel incredibly nervous even though it's my favourite subjects, I guess I just really want to do well! Your videos help so much, thank you from the bottom of my heart x

I love Jade. She’s so down to Earth and she knows how everyone is feeling about exams and revision. She has so many good tips and tricks on how to helping us. AND SHE GOES OUT OF HER WAY TO THINK, MAKE, EDIT AND UPLOAD HER VIDEO WHEN SHE HAS REVISION TO DO FOR HERSELF. ITS SO AMAZING AND I FEEL LIKE EVERYONE NEEDS TO THANK HER! She has grown her RU-vid channel so much and that’s due to her content and us following her! I feel like she doesn’t get appreciation enough, I don’t know why but I do. She has revision to do and she still decides to record, edit and upload her videos. She’s helped me so much with my GCSE’s. I have then next week and I’m so scared omg. She’s engaging. Her friends are so lucky to have her !!!

Haha I never thought of it that way before and I actually found this video helpful, thanks jade xx

it's such a unique experience that you won't really experience again once you've left the education system, it does feel like you're connected to every other young person in the country that will be stressing over the same thing as you. I also found that it helps you look forward to stuff, as in before I was in a sort of state of boredom/ depression slump and I didn't want to hang out with my friends that much or get into any new books/ shows, but now I don't have the time for it I've got plans to meet up with old friends and a list of all the great books I came across that I really want to read as soon as the exams are over (which is soon!!!) so I guess thats good.

You don't know how much i look forward to your videos... They are awe inspiring! You are an AMAZING person Jade! You have helped me in so many ways that I cannot thank you enough!! My revision is going well because of you and you are just a wonder to the world... Lots of love xxx

If you do really well on a super hard exam. It feels so good and makes it all worth while

I’m gonna try my absolute best and that’s all I can do this was so motivating thank you Jade xxx

Thank you Jade! Although we all dread this time of year, to anyone who’s going into exams for the first time or last time, it’s 100% not as bad as you think and you can surprise yourself with how much you achieve. I love how during this time everyone is super supportive of each other and encouraging and I think it can really show the best side of people. To anyone needing a laugh, twitter is gold for funny tweets about the papers and just reminds you that everyone’s in this together xx

Well like you said, exam season definitely helps you to put things into perspective and figure out a way to make each second of each day count. that is no doubt, a very useful skill to cultivate. ♡ love you Jade

the last few frames of this video just yes!!!!! being in a country where you’re given the opportunity to have a free education is honestly so SO amazing and should be treasured even if it isn’t an outstanding experience for you, it should still be appreciated!! best of luck to you Jade and everyone else, you’re gonna smash it 💓💖💕

I love the point about how everyone our age across the country is in the same boat and theres this feeling of unity (esp through the twitter exam memes, honestly the best part of exams ahhahah)

Guess who's going to get A's? (we are) yaaaas

A thing I like about exam season is being able to try my hardest for an exam, knowing I’ve done my best, and receiving a grade that I am exceedingly proud of. There is no greater feeling then having all of your hard work payed of

Something I love about exam season is how I can tweet people all over the country about “that exam” and it’s so universal being able to discuss questions and know you’re not the only one who struggled

I love this positivity Jade!! Especially exam positivity! It’s 100% given me a more brighter lookout towards my gcse exams. My first gcse exam begins tomorrow so I’ve been able to think about the exam and exam routine in a more positive, calming mindset💛

I like exam season because it makes me feel like I’m studying with a purpose. Also I love that feeling of ticking off the exams as they come and go, knowing that I’ll never have to recall all that information again! It’s so powerful to think of exams as an opportunity to showcase your hard work - definitely a mindset I will adopt.

I like the feeling you get after exams, when you see the results, and you can be proud of them! :D

Ahhh I have an AS on monday!! I wish my school did study leave, I have never had it. Thank you Jade ❤ Also one thing I like about exam season is its the time of year you know the most about the subjects you take. When you chose ur subjects its lovely to know all about them!

This was amazing! Your positive vibes are infectious!! Thank you so much Jade ❤️

I love exam season bc we get that satisfying feeling when all our revision pays off as we write down answers, when u get some out of the way and can focus more on the ones u have, you legit just get to recap stuff you've done so u can nail it. And when it's over, you can burn your books 😎🔥🙌🏽✨

STUDY LEAVE?!?! That’s sounds like the best thing ever! Here in the US, we are in class all the way up to exams. I have AP exams next week and I wish I could just not go to school and study. Just another reason I’d want to live in the U.K... :) (lovely video as always Jade! Thanks for helping us all stay positive during exam season💕)

I love how i get a hugeeeeeee summer to look forward to, and start work experience! :)

truly love people who are able to turn one of the most stressful things into such a positive thing!! i wish i knew more people like you jade

I also have a major exam coming up in a month. A good thing about exam and studying for it is that we get the opportunity to learn something new, something which we didn't know before. That is quite exciting and fulfilling 😍😃

I think this video was so much needed here in the community as we tend to forget that exams really HAVE some positive aspects, and they are not entirely bad actually because it really depends on the way you approach them and as you said your work ethic (I love this term, it really gave me a kick I needed to change my point of view!) Thank you for your work and energy you put into making videos, Jade! I hope you get the scores you want on your exams and have a lovely week ✨ x

can we just take a moment to appreciate how lovely the thumbnail looks! Thanks for posting this jade, really helped to put things in perspective in this busy exam season.

I’m in Year 10 and I’m doing my end of year exams at the moment and I love them tbh! It’s such a good way to show just how much your hard work has paid off and leaving the exam hall just feeling happy with how you’ve done is the best feeling!

For some reason watching jades videos kinda calm me and motivate me to work...😌😊🤷‍♀️

I like being able to walk out of an exam and think "you know what? I slayed that and I did the best I could. Now I never have to think about it again!" and I just enjoy/live off exam season in a way because it makes me feel present, not like I'm just drifting along aimlessly. And as you said I love the feeling of togetherness, we're all going through this together. Looks like I'm #unjadedrambling 😉 xxx

positivity is key!!! I’m halfway through my IB exams and the positive mindset has been key to reducing my mindset!! And it is SO satisfying to be done with all of that revision (well half of it ;) ) and know that all of that hard work has gone somewhere!!

I do love the exam season mostly because I get to concentrate and revise for exams while putting you, Jade, right in front of me (Don't freak out. you know I mean the real time study with me videos). I become so much more productive than in school where anything can be a distraction and normally you just cant stop being chatty with all your girls/boys. So yeah, I quite enjoy the exam leave. No one would ever allow me to be in class while studying with Jade, no? Just so you know I love the sound of your pens writing on paper and the sound of flicking pages. Please do more REAL TIME STUDY WITH ME please!!! I now can almost memorise all the words you've said in your last video cause I play it two times a day (the 2-hour one) to help me stay productive. Stay awesome Jade x Thanks for your motivation! I'm finishing my A-levels in two years and would probably go to the UK and study! Maybe someday we can meet each other in person haha! Sarah sending LOTS OF Love from China.

I’m excited to get to the end of this but first I wanna say thank you in advance because I know this video will be motivating 😩❤️

Thank you so much for this! You honestly give me a different outlook on things! Had my first exam today which was quite hard but hey i got through it, and tried my best! You are such an inspiration for loads of students out there!! Xx

I always get excited this time of the year, and whenever people hear me say 'yay exams are soon' or 'ooh not long til exams' etc they always turn and look at me like I'm crazy or they expect me to show that I'm being sarcastic. Then I explain why I love them, and I'm normally greeted with the reply 'of course you would like them because you actually do well' but I always think there's no way I would do well if I walk into an exam room unconfident, because surely I would be setting myself up for failure? I'm not sure I'm just glad to know I'm not the only one! I think I would go a bit crazy though without the motivation you give me when I watch one of your videos, especially because they stopped study leave in our school (ahhh), and for that I'm very grateful x

Jade this video is the exact reason why I love you so much. I had a mini-breakdown about A levels yesterday and this is exactly what I needed!♥️ a positive mindset is everything, thank you for reminding me of that✨

Ahh yes. Gotta love that "mutual sense of fear" 🤓

Defo so so important to have a positive attitude especially at this time - ALevels come hand in hand with negativity and people constantly stressing, so it's good to have a bit of positivity in the air!

I mainly love exam season because this is the time when I really study and that just gives me satisfaction. Loved the video Jade!

Thank you for another inspiring video, Jade! I like the feeling I get the very moment after finishing the exam. It is truly remarkable how proud and happy you can be with yourself knowing you have done your best and that all the hard work has paid off. Good luck with your exams! 💕💕

One thing I like about exam season is that it gives you a sense of purpose every day. There is no time to wallow in the meaninglessness of existence and you always have a reason to get out of bed, and I actually feel like I get less depressed during exam season because every time I study it feels like I'm doing something objectively worthwhile. Great video! x

We don't have study leave😩As if A-levels weren't hard enough

It is currently my first ever English exam today and, I kid you not, your videos have been so helpful. While my friends have all been stressing out like crazy I’ve actually managed to stay calm and study. Thank you soooo much

So nice and refreshing to hear a positive prospective on exams (Im not a great fan of them but you are right in every point that you make as usual!) As someone who had to leave school in my GCSE year for my own safety, your also right when you say that we are lucky to have this opportunity to take our exams. I do wish that their was my so much pressure put onto us about it though! Xx Xx

Your positivity is so contagious ♥️ Thank you for making these videos!!!

JADE! Thank you so much for this video and all your videos, we're not even in exam season where I am but it's still such a motivation to put in the hard yards now to make it easier for the end of the year. Your videos and your mindset and your drive and your personality are so admirable x

I like that exam season gives me a sense of purpose and a goal to strive for ❤️ i’m a perfectionist but i’m learning to understand that i’m doing the best i can with the time and tools i have 💕thanks Jade

I've been watching your videos for 5 hours straight now and I've never felt so motivated before. I'm ready to start my day and finally organise and plan, make lists and prioritise and of course, think more positively! Thank you, Jade. Subscribed to this wonderful channel of yours. ❤

I totally agree with that, thanks it really does help to actually focus on the good things for once because often all of us are so stressed out we forget about the passion we have on learning and the purpose of these exams in the first place. My GCSEs start next week :) Good luck with yours too!

This video was so motivational, I have my GCSEs in 5 days and I feel under immense pressure knowing the grades I get will determine my A level choices. Also, sounds odd but I have really high expectations for myself and not achieving the grades I want will be so disappointing even if I get what is seen as a good grade for other people; if I don’t get the top grades I feel I haven’t done myself justice or done my family proud. Is this just me that feels like this?

Thanks so much for this video Jade. You have really put me at ease for my upcoming exams. xxx best of luck with your exams too xx

Ahh I feel exactly the same! I love exam season. Even though my targets are ridiculously high I love sitting exams and just knowing that I’m getting it and the works paying off. Results day on the other hand...

You’re literally the best for positivity. Thank you Jade💛

Thank you so so much! I'm just on my 2 week study leave, it may sound like a lot but this is the final and hardest exam. It's an oral exam from 3/4 subjects and it comprises all secondary school curriculum. So i'm super stressed but like always u upload a video and my day just gets better. Sending love x

finally someone can relate to my seemingly absurd outlook! 💛 also good luck in your a levels! (and that rant would be very much appreciated :) )

My GCSEs start on Friday (although it's a half GCSE) followed by the 'actual' GCSEs on Monday. Quite honestly I probably should've done some revision instead of watching this but now I've watched it I will go into those exams thinking about the positive things that come out of them! I am so pleased I found your videos because they are honestly motivating me so much and I just want to tell you how much they help me. I had my last day of lessons today with going on study leave as of 11:00 tomorrow. I still feel like I should be in year 8 but I am looking forward to enjoying my long summer! Thank you for your amazing videos!

The way my exam timetable has worked out this year means I get a week and a half of study leave after my last exam finishes because they're all crammed in at the start. So I really like that. But yeah such a lovely video, and good luck for your exams too!

I so needed this, love the positive mind set jade!! Sending out positive vibes to everyone! Hope your revision goes well!!

hii! nice video jade! it really got me in a great mood. i love exam season as well bc i get to organize my days (what am i suppose to wor, when, how long..) and I enjoy organizing so much!!

I have my first GCSE tomorrow (AQA Biology) and this has made me feel so positive going into it. Thank you, Jade!!! your videos are truly amazing. xx

i love exams because it makes me feel so productive and just proud x

im gonna give it my best shot! i know we can all get through this ✨

Thanks Jade for this amazing video. I just gave my 10 standard exam last month. This video made me tear up a little!! And how hard it was to keep up to it. Jade you’re really amazing, just like a Saint. All the best !! Hope everything goes well!!

I can always count on you to give me a completely different outlook on the dreaded E word ❤️❤️❤️❤️ thanks ❤️

I like the feeling during exams when your feeling like you know it and you’re like I know this! And then at the end you feel proud

Definitely love the exam study leave! And definitely love that we have this opportunity to learn so much stuff and show it all off! Here's to a well earned summer!!!

Stressing for my upcoming GCSEs that go on for the next 2 months...I love it when you upload, and your tips are sooo helpful, so thank you so much :) Good luck on your A-Levels, you’ll do amazing :) x

Best thing about exam season it is a marathon, each exam being a mini race. And I like to think of it the stress as the adrenaline before a race which encourages u to run even faster. I also like thinking of it as proving myself wrong to all the times Ive doubted how well Im gonna do. Good luck everyone ;D

I love the business of exam season, (I have GCSE exams starting Monday,) I hate having nothing to do and so always having the revision to count on is very nice as there’s always something I can be doing. Loved this video, I feel a bit more motivated to actually do some work... 💛

My favorite things are that you only need to focus on one thing: revision. It's in a way less stressful than having to juggle essays, readings, class, extracurriculars, household tasks (my parents don't have me do them during exams) and so on. Secondly, during exam season my motivation is much higher and usually go to bed feeling accomplished, while during the rest of the year I often feel like I should have done more

It's so much more effective to learn at home. You can create your own routine and get stuff done when you want to (also in the middle of the night :D). Exam season is stressful but you are right. Your video makes me think more positively about it ^^ ♡ love to you :*

A reason I like exam season is that I get amazing tips and motivation from my favourite study youtuber😍😂💞 this was a great video Jade! 😁

Awwww once again Jade shows her amazing ability to see the good in everything 💞 please keep that gal, its such a rare and beautiful trait ❤ all love from Northern Irish one as always, amazing video! Xox

You really changed my opinion for school and exams, i'm so thankful :") YOU are the INSPIRITION.

A big thx jade for making this video. This really helped me, eventhough its been so stressfull lately due to exams your videos always brings me hope. tysm jade

I like exam season either, simply because I can do whatever I truly have to do without taking irrelevant classes, and this period of time exposes my weaknesses of facing pressure and dealing tons of information in a short time. And I just finished the cathartic structure question papers of Biology and Physics of CIE A level. Thanks for your perspectives and positivity! 😁

Yessss!!! First comment!! Ure the best JADE!! EXAMS IN 6 DAYS 🙈😱😜 Something positive about exam season: you learn to deal with stress and you understand the importance of what you are working towards😉😜

Unjaded jade and jade Edwards 30 minutes after eachother - thank you lord

This was really calming to watch especially since I had to miss school yesterday bc the stress just got too much it was nice to learn some positives. Thank you x

Not so much this year as I only have mocks but last year I LOVED study leave so much, the freedom to dictate my own academic timetable was amazing!!! and after exams I had 10 weeks of no school which was so nice to relax afterwards, and then I was so happy with my results so I felt that all my work paid off ☺️☺️☺️

even though I had my exams in april, i found this video so motivational 💛

I go to school in France and i'm doing the baccalaureat with the international option. It's a really full program with at least 10 subjects. And we get no official study leave! We finish school in the first week of july which leaves 3 days before a week of about 8 3-4 hour written exams. So yes my school is doing it wrong! But thank you there are definitely positive things about exams! Its nice to see the season under a different light for once

I normally love exam season too. Just find it relaxing and cathartic like you said plus its symbolising the end which is quite emotional (for a levels anyway). right now I'm a mess! but I'm hoping to get back to that nice exam season state once it actually starts

I like the fact that you end up revising with a clear mind without realising the night before and it feels that you get it !!! I’m frickin scared tho

I love this so much! Such a positive take on exams :D For me personally, during the exam seasons it feels like my brain is LIT! And I can see more, think wider and faster and I suddenly see all these million possibilities that I didn't (with regard to career or new skills etc) And feel so excited to DO more, if that makes sense. Maybe its just my work ethic building up like you said. And I LOVE that feeling. It fuels my preparation and makes it exponentially more worth it. On the other hand, somehow, my bucket list also increases by pages! 😂😂😂😂🙈

We only get study leave two weeks before the end of GCSE’s it’s so annoying because I would honestly find it so much easier to revise if I wasn’t in lessons. This was such a motivating video, you have such a positive outlook on exams and school. You influence me to keep going and try hard every day x

Thank you much Jade for this. I feel more motivated to continue working hard. And good luck for your A Levels!

Hi Jade, I just wanted say: to thank you! Your videos helped me so much with my English, I feel that my understanding REALLY improved since I've been watching you. I literally heard your voice in my head yesterday during my final exam in English. It went really well. You are amanzing, thank you! 😍 Greetings from Poland. (It's exam season in my country as well - I've got biology tomorrow).

Exams definitely make me work harder than anything else can! Thank you for the video, it's so uplifting XXX
