Easy Things to do RIGHT NOW to Boost your Grades Later On | Jack Edwards 

fav

It's so comforting hearing you say that you also fell into common mistakes such as not working in frees during Y1 of 6th form, knowing that you got 3 A*'s. It always seems like students who get A*A*A* must be working at 100% all the time, it really shows that there is no reason you can't work hard *now* to achieve your goals.

Might come back later so I'll just leave this here. - Compile your notes neat and early - Make resources easily available - Make summary cards - Stick to deadlines - Try to avoid/ reduce working when exams are coming - Plan things to do in free time - Actively research what you don't understand - Contribute in class - Revise for in-class tests

Is it just me or jack is really cute?😍😍😭

the only person getting me to uni in september

yassss Jack!! much needed

I swear, I've done 6.5h of revision today, but come out the other end feeling like I've done nothing/got nowhere.

Glad to hear I’m not the only one who waited till January to start proper revision for A levels 😸

Jack’s just one of those you tubers who I love watching and actually help me with what I need advice with!❤️

This video literally came at the perfect time. Jack you can read my mind!!!

I was planning on being productive but I’ve been really ill (still am) but now I feel motivated to start... tomorrow

Thanks so much for this video Jack. I'm in Year 13 and I just did my mock exams before xmas. My results were AAC. Obviously I'm very pleased with two out of three, but the C has really shaken me, particularly because it was in English Literature, which is what I've applied to study at uni. While I admit I didn't exactly spend 14 hours a day revising for my mock, I still did revise thoroughly and I just feel like I've hit a brick wall in the subject. I don't know how to improve my revision significantly, as I already have a coherent, organised approach. Your video has settled my nerves however and shown me that there's always time to change, and I know I just need to remain positive. You really are the best.

Oh my God, I saw the title and I screamed in sheer joy and relief. I needed this, although most of my exams are in summer (please save me from A Level Politics!) My last business exam (the real thing) is in 7 days and looking through the grade boundaries are high every damn year.

I needed this!! I’m in year 13 and I’m dying rn 😭😭

Helping a sis get through year 12 efficiently ✨

My school think it's effective to give 7-10 hours homework per subject in oyr second year, EXCLUDING revision and I - 😑 I really dislike the system but you gotta deal. 6 more months, 6 to go!!

5 months left till hell :')

Jack, as somebody in the same year as you, you're honestly really inspirational. The genuine care that you have for your subscribers, and the time you invest in helping them do as well as they are capable of doing, shines through. Big respect for you x

i completely agree, I'm making flashcards now as i go along and i think it will rlly help me

I highly appreciate how nicely Jack explains everything, it gives you hope that you won't fail this time. Being a student who has faced many such issues he has too faced, I find every advice so on point. Like you do it, and it solves the problem. Good work! Thanks!

It's nice to hear anecdotes from your previous experiences with a certain topic such as revising for A-Levels. I think, reflecting on what you did and if that was the best thing or not and how you advise us to be different really helps. Keep it coming, thanks.

Thanks. This is really helpful for me. Especially that contributing part. Most of the time I'm embarrassed to even ask a question during class. Its something Ive been meaning to change for a while now😑😌

I have just done half my mock papers in the past two days and this was much needed. Thank you so much Jack xx Always appreciate your content

All of these tips videos that you make are always SO helpful! Thank you so much!!

I’ve been in such a bad routine lately, I’m doing my a-levels this year and this has totally motivated me to get loads done up until my exams! Thank you millions 😊

Thank you for this video Jack! I have my mocks at the end of the month and my exams at the start of May, and I always start the hardcore revision from January. That way I can still put in effort but not burn myself out five months prior to exams and that seemed to work for my exams last year!

keep on this positive energy love your life & your self enjoy every second try to be better every day

You have a great personality, wisdom and a sense of humour! Thanks for sharing with that, your effort and enjoyable tips, as well! :) Hope you are having a remarkable year and having a bit more rest than always!

I have my year 13 mocks next week which I havent prepared for at all and this has really motivated me to revise for it now, thank you xx

this is genuinely going to massively help me, i’m in my final year of college and i only started late november due to being in hospital in september. tomorrow i’m going to go buy a planner,revision cards. thank you for inspiring me jack, it means the absolute world!! thank you!!

Honestly I think your the only RU-vidr which actually helps with college atm🥳🥳

I don’t know whether it’s the tone of your voice or the advice in this video but watching this really calmed me down, I was freaking out over my mock exams and this video popped up in my recommended and now I feel so much better so thank youu so much

Bless you for this video!!

Watching this in between writing paragraphs of my history essay. Great confidence boost because sometimes all this work just feels like such a drag and as if it doesn't even matter. But you're right; little bits here and there are so much easier!

I definitely needed this thank you!

Our second semester will start soon and I'll definitely use these tips to be more focused and hardworking with regards to studying. Thanks Jack! 🇵🇭

Thanks so much for this good advice👏🏼👏🏼

This gold literally could not come at a better time thank youu

ahhh timing couldn't be more perfect for this thank you thank you thank you!!! :)) super helpful to hear heading into the home straight (hopefully) of a levels - this content is needed n appreciated x

ahhhh, this is so helpful and encouraging! I was so nervous as I thought you were literally going to list all the things that I hadn't been doing, but it turns out that I'm more on-track than I thought! Quite excited to start back at school now so I can improve my revision techniques more! Thank you!! :D x

I was looking forward to this video so much!!! THANK YOU JACK

You're so motivational I love your videos so much thank you!

I'm in year 9, I'm already revising and watching these sort of videos. I'm really hoping to get at least one A* in my GCSE's, as I am already achieving grade 5 in most subjects. Your videos are so helpful. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this🙈i needed a video like this💝you are one of my favourite youtubers❤️

this is absolutely great. thank you so much for making this. I need to really take schoolwork seriously right now and this is incredibly helpful. thank you.

I've noted down all your points you've made on your A Level videos and they are so useful thank you!

Jack your getting me motivated and ready to plan for when school goes back in 3 weeks- thank you for always being such a help 🥰 Also book recommendations please any genre I need new books !!

you have no idea how much I needed this... I've got mocks next week and I'm so stressed but this has calmed me down so much Thank you xx

you acc make the best videos, so helpful thank you!!

Im doing my GCSE’s this year not a levels but this video has definitely helped with how I can put more work in now and not worry as much later.

Thank you soo much. I really needed this video!!!

thank god for jack edwards! much needed :) x

I really love these kind of videos of you giving advice! They help a lot! Make more😍

Great video, Jack!! x

always watch you to get me in the mood for studying and it always works!

This is the video I literally needed rn, Jack you’re a life saver -could not have clicked on this faster! I’ve been watching your videos for a while now, Jack, and I really hope you realise how amazing you are; I honestly hope you reach 100k soon because you really do deserve it more than anyone

This came completely at the right time! First Uni Exams are right around the corner and i need that grade boost.

Very much needed, thank you

3:01 - 3:10 - About ending up teaching yourself instead of revising the concepts of the topic. I'm out of uni now, but a tutor once said to make sure you have a good grasp of the concepts covered during class/lecture/tutorial before leaving that day- this way, you don't have to teach it again to yourself come exam period. this also means that whatever concepts or ideas to come in the next class will make sense. Best way to do so is to participate in class actively - this means asking questions and publicly expressing your thoughts in class - this way if you are looking at something the wrong way, the tutors can point you to the right direction.

Arghhh I’m panicking so much for these exams, I didn’t have the best term last term and I didn’t do amazing in my mocks and I just stopped working and I couldn’t motivate myself to do it, I completely shut down, but now I’m pure panicking because everything is tangible and I don’t feel like I’m ever working hard enough or doing enough work. I don’t feel I have enough time to do my work, even though I quit all my extra curricular subjects too. Urgh nightmare. This was such a helpful video though Jack, and you saying you only started really working really hard and smartly in January made me feel much better. Thank you.

This is the type of video i want youtube to put on trending. Love it!

After the post Christmas holiday blues I didn't realise how much I needed this- I now feel more inspired for the final run to my GCSEs, thank you :)

i really needed this thanks!!!!

Perfectly timed video! Very much needed and appreciated! Its comforting to hear that I'm not the only one who slacked with essay deadlines and work in their free slots. I'm right now doing my utmost to recover my procrastination with a project and presentation I have due this week. My second year in sixth form is most definitely teaching me in many aspects especially seeing the improvements I've made from first year, in a holistic manner so to say. Thank you for your genuine videos and tips! :) I can resonate with the research point you mentioned, however I end up browsing beyond the necessities and end up procrastinating. Considering the fact that my A'levels are languages, procrastination surely doesn't fit the criteria but.. slowly I'm working on it and improving. Thanks again for the video! :) Cheers from Malta by the way! *apologies for the lengthy comment😂

The timing of this video is great, and these tips are super helpful. Great video as always!

This is literally what I've been waiting for since I started my GCSE course :) thanks Jack!

you are an actual life saver- thank you so much

needed this ❤️

10-min video and I can't get enough of Jack!

This video was really inspiring! My goal for this year is to be more consistent with my revision throughout the term, and to NOT begin studying three days before the test I kept asking myself "Why am I not recieving the grades I want?", and i realized that perhaps my habit of cramming has something to do with it. rip). I´m from Norway, so our grading system is a bit different, but essentially, a lot grades this year are final and some aren`t, therefore I have to work super hard these next months (which is scary considering I still have three years left of schoo!)

you’re honestly so useful! your tips are the best and you help so much so thanks!! could be useful if you could do more tips relating to gcses

Love this x

Much needed video! I'm Spanish and I'm currently studying the equivalent to Y13. I've always gotten straight A*s, but last term, my marks got quite a lot worse because I didn't take it too seriously, mostly due to my lack of motivation. However, now I must start revising for my Spanish A levels, which consist of 6 subjects and, you know, there is way too much content! Anyway, I'm gonna start applying your tips right now. Thanks for your encouragement, this has just boosted my confidence!

this was so well put, truly motivating!! ❤️

Of course you’re getting that 100K! I watch your vids but didn’t realise I haven’t subscribed! So that’s another to the count haha Love your videos, they’re so useful, keep it up!

I am so thankful this was in my recommended! 🙏🏻

this is exactly what I needed to hear after having similar thoughts the last few weeks. I've finally made a PHAT excel to stay on top of what revision/notes I've done and hoping to be more on top of everything after my mocks are over (honestly wish I had this surge of motivation a month ago and then I wouldn't feel like i was gonna drastically fail these exams 😂😭)

Yes this is the video i needed thank you so much xx Time to achieve my goals in 2019!

needed this 🙏🏽

Great tips Jack! I just started with a new semester and plan on improving my grades this time. ❤️

So needed!!! Got a levels in May/June and really not prepared, thanks Jackkkk!!! Xx

cannot tell if the shirt is meant to be pink and burgundy or jack couldn’t wash his clothes properly😂😁 needed this video:))!!

your videos are a godsend

Seriously clever tips!

I wanted to do some of these things that you mentioned in this video, but in this semester bc of so much problems that I had in the beginning of it , I couldn't achieve full Mark in all of my exams , but at least my grades still in A to B range... thank you so much , I'm gonna try your tips in the next semester, and I think it will came up with an A+ in all subjects 👍

This video is actually really helpful bit I'll have to rewatch it when my 2nd semester starts in February :) I still have to do my first semester exams and presentations and I really didn't study at all during the year. (I'm in my 3rd year of interior architecture and my design projects keep asking more and more time, it's not like I didn't do anything at all...)

great video, I think its worth mentioning for a A levels and GCSE's to a lesser extent organising notes and making summary cards is invaluable because for A levels the courses are so detailed it becomes much easier when you come to revise when you know you wrote the key points about stuff in each topic, as it means you'll have no gaps in your knowledge and you'll be able to identify weaknesses. I'm in yr 13 and I wish i did this from the start of yr 12 :(

Waited for you to post Jack.😍😍😍😍

So helpful thank you!

this was so useful!! thank you! also you WILL hit 100k no doubt

Really needed this vid! TYSMM 😁

thanks for all these videos!!it gives me alot of encouragement:))

JACKKKKKK Needed this at the start of yr 12 :')) omg... such a nice one!! Hats off!!

can’t believe i’ve been watching you since less than 1k. you’ve come so far 💗

Watched this while trying to write an essay for a subject I think I want to study at uni and it has motivated me so much and given me confidence in things I'm already doing (my folders are sooo organised) and given me ideas of how to get better. Thanks gap-year-trousers-Jack

this is so helpful as a y12 student, your videos motivate me so much!!

Now this USEFUL THANK YOUUU
