How am I finding Sixth Form so far? | My HONEST opinion 

Please do a video on mind maps: • How to draw them • What you put on them • How you use them to revise • Examples of some you have done

Just want to add a bit of motivation/positivity from my perspective- A levels can seem like they are going to be impossible and seem sooo much work and as if they are never ending.. but trust me you CAN get through it! I thought I would never be able to learn everything and I would never get the grades I wanted, but I managed to pull through and surprise myself. Yes it's not easy and the weeks before the actual exams were one of the most stressful times of my life... but it's now all over and I came out with grades that I am really proud of, and now the stress of A levels seems like a distant past time that I have forgotten about (lol how deep) It does end, and if you put in the work you will surprise yourself at what you can do!

whenever I watch eve I get weirdly motivated to work hard especially her school videos like it's 11.15 pm and all I want to do is maths revision. I'm so weird

Oh just thought I'd add English Lit is deffo the one I cry over the most, mainly out of frustration hahaha but yeah if u don't wanna cry all the time then don't take it!! (I also got another essay back and it was a high B again so progress is being made) 🙂

Current year 11s: Don't you find the new 1-9 grades annoying?

They say that from the transition from GCSE to A-Level you will drop two grades if you don't put in more effort which shows just how hard the step up is. But the content does get finished in time (we finished at easter then straight onto revision) so don't worry about it!

Good luck to any year 11 who have their mocks soon!! I'm terrified lol

You can definitely get through it! It feels like hell when you are going through it but it's worth it. I was achieving D/Cs around this time in year 12 and I left sixth form with A*AAB. Keep going!

You should make a video explaining your whole GCSE experience and how you found it x

I agree with what you said about lit 100%. It's v v intense but the most improvement tends to be made at the v end according to my teacher so do not worry as you will get there.

Thank you so much for uploading this, my depression is eating away at my motivation and seeing how you're dealing with it and seeing that you're in the same boat as me makes me feel a bit better edit: not with the mental aspect but with the whole worrying about how much there is to learn

I'm in my third year of university doing history! I got A* A* A A and honestly you will be fine! It's more than possible ! You got this

Haha, we have to learn quotes in the new 2017 GCSE for literature 😂

I found my first year difficult,I struggled with the workload but Im finding 2nd year so much better!! I think its possible to learn everything just dont panic :)

Loved it eve ! I've also just started sixth form and I agree with you idk how I'm going to get through everything but a lot of people have and I'm sure we can too !! 😚 Love u xx

It is most definitely possible to learn all the content by the end of year 12! I'm in year 13 now and in my GCSEs I got 4Cs,4 Bs and A and in my AS's I got two Bs and Cs ☺️ I honestly believe if you have a good routine for homework/study time you'll be absolutely fine! Like Eve I have around 12 frees a week including a Monday off on my new timetable! I really struggled with English lit/Lang at AS but I just did an extra essay every week and asked my teachers for practice questions which also helped time management! I find at A2 I'm struggling more with psychology than last year which stresses me cause I want to do it at Uni! However today I voluntarily did extra questions as I've been getting Ds in psych when I got B last year 🙃 anyway good luck eve and everyone else in GCSE/sixth form years!

A video on how to stop procrastinating/ study motivation would be so helpful 💜

Your work ethic is so good💜

Really enjoyed this video! I'm in year 13 now so I can say, don't worry! You will manage and trust me, you're already so firm in your foundations just by keeping on top of work as you go along so keep doing that and I PROMISE you that you'll be absolutely fine! Remember that at A Level you really can trust your teachers too because they're more expert in their subjects than at GCSE. This year my work load for music seems impossible, and I really struggled to manage it last year. But this year I know the teacher knows what she's doing and I 100% trust her because she got me through last year! So you're doing the right thing getting to know them and following their advice. Also, Bs in your first essays?! That's so good! You still have so much time to improve so you'll definitely be on solid As by the end. As for language speaking, everyone freaks out at the start. You go from that lovely GCSE memorisation to complete spontaneity at A Level! I'd recommend getting a speaking buddy to practice with on a more regular basis and naturally your grammar will improve. Your grammar is still growing as well at the moment so I wouldn't worry about it too much at this stage. I'm studying El Labriento del Fauno this year too, although we've not started it yet, I'm on the old spec so we started with the play (la casa de Bernarda Alba) but you've got me looking forward to the film now! I think with languages you just have to continually expose yourself to them- reading news articles, listening to the news and writing summaries in the language, pen pals etc. I got As in French and Spanish last year and I can say it just takes practice. Don't get disheartened if you don't get As in your first writing and speaking assessments- it's not only the language you have to get right, it's the new style of exam technique. My French teacher openly admits that he purposely lets us fail at the start so that we then listen to him and take on what he says. Honestly, you're like the dream student. Putting in the work from the very start is how you succeed. There are students who won't start working until about April so you can count on them to lower the grade boundaries! xx

eve omg your skin looks really nice in this video also your eyebrow are looking fab lately! please do a room tour i think we would all love that. but for this channel could you do videos on motivation to study and do well? and maybe how to stop procrastinating!

I'm in year 13, don't worry you'll be fine! As long as you put the effort in like you always do you will do fab!! Don't worry you'll learn it all!! Love you lots xxxx

I'm German and I still love your videos about a-levels and school in general! I find it so interesting to learn about other country's school systems by people actually talking about their experiences! And you get me so motivated too!

Your videos have also helped a lot with helping me organise my time more and relieving stress x

It is entirely possible to learn everything by the end of the year Eve, I'm currently in year 13 and I have no doubt that you'll do amazingly well because of how focused and driven you are. So don't worry, keep going as you are and you'll smash them all! xxx

Having gone through college and gotten to university I can very much relate to how you feel. Alevels are all new to you, and you really are still just finding your feet. You will notice as you go along that it gets easier (particually at A2) to know how to manage your time and revise, as well as what revision techniques work best for you. I stuck with most of my revision techniques from GCSE but a lot of people had to change things up. Your doing so well so dont panic!

You will do great don't get stressed💕

yay! new revision with eve video xx

Omg you inspire me so much. I'm going to do a whole day of horrible work now and I feel ready now I've watched this video. I can't wait to go to college... ❤️❤️ thankyou

Please do like a motivation video for gcses! I usually use your results video because your grades are my goals!

thanks for uploading, I have to choose my 6th form choices soon and you have helped me in this video xx

I finished sixth form last year and although I can't say it wasn't difficult its definitely possible to maintain A* grades! I finished my A2's with A*A*AB and received an unconditional to UOB :) You're a smart girl Eve and I know you work hard. If you keep up like you are you'll ace AS and A2. Best of luck to you in your studies and don't worry if you aren't getting A's in every test throughout the year, it all comes together towards exams. It's a whole step up from GCSE but you can do it :) x

Thanks Eve this was interesting to see how 6th form is going for you, I'm glad that we have the same exam board for Spanish so it will be easier to use your tips in the future! xxx

Hey Eve. Great video. Do you think you could do a video showing your mind maps and talking about how you do them? And also talk about how you revise? Xx

I would like how to revise for gcse science!! xx

I'm in my first year at King's College London so have just completed my two years at sixth form. Learning content is definitely doable!!!! Think you've definitely got it covered as you mentioned making revision notes as you go along - that's the biggest thing I'd recommend. Good luck! Xx

I'm now in year 13, I studied subjects such as philosophy and ethics, and psychology which both had SOOO much content that we had to learn, I promise you by the end of the year you will be able to learn it all. The whole year I believed I was going to fail because there was too much to learn, but by the end of the year you will have gotten used to it and it becomes a lot easier and I came out with A's in all my subjects! Keep doing what you're doing Eve!xx

Eve I'm in year 13 and in History and Sociology last year I managed to remember enough stuff to get Bs so keep going! 💞

I'm in year 13 now and honestly you will be able to remember the content. I got 4As at AS and you just have to constantly go over your stuff the whole year through and treat your mocks as the real thing because then you truly know where you are at! You sound like you're doing the right thing though!:)

Please teach us how you make your mind maps & your favorite study methods!! love you and your videos Eve 💟

I'm currently in year 13, I completely agree with what you said about year 12😂 and yeah I felt the same, I thought it was impossible to learn everything ! But it is possible! trust me, start revising just a bit earlier and you will get there😊 good luck for the rest of year 12!! x

I'm in year 13, and you will get through all the content! I thought that about chemistry and maths last year. you may finish the spec in mid April like I did,but of you keep on top of revision from the earlier learnt stuff then you'll have plenty of time to prepare for exams. As grades aren't the be all and end all either. my targets were CCC and I got DDC. Tthis year my targets are BBB, but I need AAA for uni, it just takes a lot of hard work, and you're clearly cracking on with that now.

I am in my first year of uni now and trust me you will be able to do it gal!!!

Eve you will honestly be fine. I'm in year 13 and I managed my alevels being the most unorganised person with b's. When I was doing AS philosophy we had to learn and memorise a crazy amount of essays and quotes and I had a mini mental break down often doing those but I did it and you'll smash it because you're so organised and good at planning and also your attitude is so positive and you can really tell you want to do well!💖💖 hope that helped 💖💖

Hey Eve, I'm in year 13, and trust me you will be fine with the content, you get through it is possible! :) x

I finished my Alevels in June 2015 and honestly when you finish and get your grades it's the most rewarding feeling ever. Getting into uni is my biggest achievement so far and all the hard work pays off whatever path you choose for after college xx keep going gal xx

I'd love a "how to stay motivated and revision techniques" video as I'm doing my gcses this year and I need help on how you revise!! Love you eve x

It's possible to learn!! I promise you! I'm in my 1st year at University now and I was exactly like you are right now by I got my 3A*'s. My ultimate tip is revision notes as you go along! Makes like a whole lot less stressful at the end. 100% you are doing more than anyone else! xx

I feel the same Eve... I have no idea how I'm going to remember everything by the end!

Hii, I have finished A-levels and now at uni! Not going to lie it is hard but you will get through it, it went soo fast for me. I did all essay based subjects and to get a B at the beginning of A-levels is amazing, most people I know at A-levels dropped around two grades. If your worried about getting the grades don't stress, as long as you get enough to go to what you want to do after then it doesn't matter (I say that I can understand the pressure to do well when your in the middle of it) however most people at my uni got well below what they needed to get in. Good luck!!!

Hello!! Im currently a year 13 student and gosh i understand how you feel.. i felt like that, infact i still do!! Work work work is my tips however, you really need to not over work yourself, and actually your teachers will help you a lot i promise!! I didn't realise how much they support you, and it is possible i promise just make sure you are learning early (Like you are now) and you'll ace it!!!

Such a great video x

watched all of this and loved it! im in y11 atm & hoping to do sociology, pysch, law & politics next year so this video was great! so excited to no longer have GCSEs ahaha, and good luck with your AS's! X

Do you have any tips for motivating yourself to study?

it's genuinely possible to learn everything i promise! i'm in my first year at uni and when i was at your stage i was freaking out about all the content but once you step back and plan your time (which i know you can definitely do having watched your revision videos before!) it'll all be put in perspective and you just have to get through everything and make sure you know what is the key information and what is the context! seriously i stressed out for the entire 2 years at sixth form especially because of the pressure of getting the grades for university and it wasn't until results day that i realised i was fine all along - if you know your stuff you'll get the grades! i was expecting like abd or so thing after sitting the exams but i ended up with a*aa and i couldn't believe it! you'll absolutely smash it eve don't stress too much :-)

Hey Eve, pls could you do a mind map video and how you specifically revise. im struggling so much with finding an effective revision method

You're so beautiful Eve! Love these long chatty videos

I finished doing my A2 exams in the summer, but I totally agree with all the stuff about English Lit. The abilities of the English Lit classes were very mixed ability, but for me it was quite a shock because I was an A/A* student (for English that is) at GCSE and I just struggled so much at A-Level. I didn't end up doing it at A2 because it just wasn't working for me 😪 also amazing that you're doing politics! I did aspects of politics in AS/A2 history (I did the making of modern Britain for my course!) and wasn't interested at the start but by the end I loved it! British politics is my favourite so I've got my place at Newcastle Uni to do politics next year (I deferred a year) good luck with everything! 💕

Hi Eve, I'm in year 13 at the moment and DO NOT PANIC about the amount there is to learn! When I was in at the stage you are in in year 12, I felt really overwhelmed by the volume of information to learn (I did English lit, geography, RS and Drama) but it is possible to learn it and come out with good grades, especially somebody like you who is really good at revision technique. English lit is a tricky one, but just make sure you keep on top of making revision cards for quotes when you can and don't feel disheartened if your grades are lower than you were expecting. The quotes really made me feel anxious last year but when it came to learning them, you know more than you think and in the exam you don't have to write it exactly - you can give an overview of what it says if you have a blank! Sorry for the long comment, but I hope that helps you feel reassured :)

I'm in year 13 eve, and honestly it seems really bad now but you can do it. Just make sure you actually do the revision which obviously you will and the exams are not as bad as you expect, it seems a lot when you're learning it but when you have finished the course and go back to revise you'll realise you already know a lot! Just try not to stress because you will be okay!! Xxx

It seems impossible at the beginning of year 12 that you're going to know everything by the end but honestly it's all fine!!! I'm in year 13 and everything worked out! But yeah English lit is v hard at the beginning....I would recommend making like a mini book of quotes now instead of doing it all at Easter 😘

Great video Eve xxx

I am currently in my second year of A level English Lit and I totally get you, my grades went the exact same route as yours, however I am making slow progress and my teacher apparently believes Im going to make it to an A, so have faith, work hard and don't overthink it. I also found it overwhelming to learn the quotes and critical quotes, but I picked a bunch, memorised them and I didn't have trouble at the end of year exam with forgetting them or not having a quote to apply to a point- I hope you enjoy it more as the year goes on!

I am in year 13 at college and I agree that there is so much more freedom and the banta with teachers is great ahah! I definitely think that you can learn it all for your exams, my year is the first to not have AS levels counted towards A level so if you mess up its not all bad news as you retake them all the next year anyway x Good Luck with you'r exams lovely x

you will get through year 12:(!! all the crying and sleepless nights towards exam period i got through it !! and im sure you will do extremely well! i got 3 A's and a B in AS &&& you are sooo smart so you will pull through and get your grade's don't worry☺️☺️x

i just finished year 13 today and as long as you keep refreshing stuff in your head, it'll stick and you'll be fine :)

This was so helpful!! X

I would like a video on different ways to revise like things on the computer and like mind maps and bullet pointing things and maybe a video on how to organise your desk since you said you are getting a new one xx

Please do a video on tips for GCSE exams and y11 in general!!! How do I remember and revise for like 10 subjects AND do well?? Loved this vid❤️❤️

You should do a video on how you revise for these alevel subjects and show us some resources

I'm currently in year 13 studying business, English language and English lit and at the beginning of year 12 I was already wanting to drop out. I hated it! I thought I'd made such bad decisions with the subjects I chose, I barely knew anyone in my lessons and I just couldn't get my head around some of the things we were learning. Now, I'm pretty happy with my chosen subjects and I don't hate it as much. English lit is definitely the subject I don't like the most. I'm studying Emma, an anthology of 12 poems, twelfth night, the importance of being earnest, the kite runner and the handmaids tale and I have a three hours mock in a few weeks on ALL OF IT. It's the most time consuming subject for me as it's just constantly reading, redrafting coursework and making notes. Despite this, it does feel pretty great when you get an essay back to find out you haven't done too bad. I feel like the way you're going about A Levels is definitely the right approach, I regret not spending my frees last year doing work - instead I walked around Durham and did some shopping. Not good for my brain or my bank balance! You're making life so much easier for yourself and I'm sure you're going to do great. At the minute I'm attempting to juggle homework, revision for mocks, coursework, note making, a part time job, driving lessons, my UCAS application and a blog and I'm stressing like mad. This video has definitely made me want to write a blog post about how I'm currently finding A Levels as I feel like I would've loved watching the type of videos before going to sixth form back in year eleven X

Could you make a video on gcse English language? Im really struggling this year (im in year 11) with this whole new spec

omg great video as always I was thinking about taking English literature now I'm gonna start looking more into it! Also it would be great if you could do a video about choosing your options for A level or about how to get A-A*s for science😄😄

I finished my A levels this summer and got AAB in English, Maths and Biology. I felt overwhelmed at the start of y12 with the volume of content but it is possible. My main advice would be do not feel like you have to continue 4 levels in year 13, it is 100% NOT worth it, Universities only want 3. A fourth will not give you a higher chance of getting an offer, its more important to have an amazing personal statement (thats a fun thing to do at the start of year 13 along with all the work :) ). All that happens if you do 4 A levels is uni's will probably offer you a space based on all 4 and it puts so much pressure on. Focus to three i cannot stress it enough!!! I really wanted to continue all 4 but exam time is so stressful theres no way I would've got the grades I did if I had done 4. Have fun though honestly, sixth form years were the best years of my life!! Good luck xxxx

Please make a video on how to get top grades in english lit or history / how to revise for these subjects x

I'm in Year 13 and you do learn the content in time for AS. At my sixth form we had a technique for Y12 revision leave, we had to spot our areas that we hadn't quite understood fully and work on those and that really helped. Also you do actually know more than you think you might!

For a revision video: How did you revise/get through GCSE history? What resources would you use to revise? Techniques? Thankyou :)

Pls do mind map revision tricks Ly and ur skin looks so good xxxx

Eve I feel like there's a lot of requests on how you revise and what resources that you use.😊 so you should do that x

Ahhh you're coming to Birmingham uni?! I'm studying here at the moment, and even for uni your videos are so useful - always feel motivated after watching them :))) xxx

Das Leben der Anderen is one of my favourite films :D I'm about to graduate from university but still watch your videos about school and revision because the British school system is quite different from the Italian one, and I love to learn about those differences. Also, I studied applied languages and international relations at uni, while you picked politics and languages for your sixth form, so I feel like we kind of like the same subjects. I don't know why I just told you this but, yeah. Have a nice day, Marti

I'm in year 13 and don't worry you can learn it all. You've done the right thing by starting to make notes early and you will honestly be fine by the exams. I was the same and didn't know how I would learn it all but I had it all learnt by the exams. Good luck.

"I've been called a 'geek' and 'nerd' by my teachers, so that was nice" 😂😂😂

But it's totally possible to learn it all! Honestly, start revising by christmas it will help SO much more when it comes to your AS'. then taking it on to A2's you'll have the information cemented more. Also, 100000% drop a subject at A2, life with 4 A Levels on the go is basically impossible! Good luck!! x

I'm currently doing A2's,it is possible to get through it Eve! You can do it!

I finished 6th form last year and after Christmas in year 12 is where it gets really hard, I honestly mean this, good luck and may the odds be ever in your favour.

You feel like a big sister to me

Hey Eve, im in Year 13 and honestly it is possible to learn everything! it depends on each subject, mine are english literature, psychology and sociology and they all have a ton of stuff and names etc. but it is possible! definitely! especially with your good work attitude:-) Hope it goes well for you:-)

Hey Eve, I just finished year 13 at the end of June, it is possible to learn everything but my main tip is revise all year around, if you start doing light revision in the beginning of the year then it's easier when you come to the exams. Also I took English Literature and I got sooooo stressed in my last year that I completely screwed myself over in the exam so I'm retaking my exam again this year. Don't stress over it, there's no rush to finish A levels in 2 years, stay sane my love x

It is manageable trust me, I'm currently in my 2nd year at uni. A levels are challenging, but you need to devise a schedule of revision, so what subject to revise at what time. Yes, there is a lot to learn but if you're doing it as you go along and coming back to it you'll be fine! :)

I'm doing English Lit, I agree it's definitely a big step up 😞 I have been studying Streetcar and it's honestly a great text, quotes are much easier to remember too because it's so short! Hope this gives you a bit of hope for after Christmas 😊

I would love to watch a q&a on six form and what it's like

I'm in year 13 now and it will work out how you want!! Just make sure you go over your work quite a lot and it will stick in your mind. It is really tough and you do get stressed but the most important thing is to have a lot of sleep and give yourself time to relax as it will reduce your stress. It is unlike GCSEs where I stayed up revising for hours and only got 5/6 hours sleep - A Levels you need a LOT more but you will get there!!

I got AABB at the end of year 12 so it is possible to learn all the content but it's HARD. Just make sure to keep on top of your work x

I did merchants tale and gatsby!! So good, would recommend the student room for lists of quotes, character traits etc !xx

I love your videos !!!💖 Can you do a revising for gcse history and maths video please?

In depth history revision video please

It is possible! I got 2 As and one B (one mark of an A!) at AS and to be honest you seem to be working a lot harder than I was haha. I feel that the jump is stressful but after a while in year 12, it becomes a tad more bearable 😂. Year 13 is stressing me out as most of my subjects are linear (two years worth of content in my exams this year YAY). But if you make notes as you go along you will be fine! Good luck xoxo

Hi Eve! Could you please make a video on how you revised for your English lit exam as I have to take mine at the end of this year (even though I'm only year 10!) and I have no idea how to revise for it properly. I just had my mock and I'm pretty sure I completely failed it so I was just wondering if you had any tips? xoxo

I'm in year 13 and trust me when I say this, you can definitely feel the change in revision and pressure wise as you're wanting to get the grades for your top uni (if you're going). I completely agree with you and having that relationship with teachers!! You can honestly talk about most stuff you wouldn't be allowed to in GCSE of lower down in the school. I'm studying Media Studies, Photography and English Language and it's quite good tbf but you do have to keep revising. When taking exams, I'd say for the hour before the exam, just do something to relax your nerves, but like don't make yourself forget everything.

My A-levels were a bad time for me. I constantly was in tears and didn't understand the high level of work- I ended up dropping out. I'm now finding the university level course I'm doing so much more achievable!! Don't be discouraged if you feel that Post-16 is not going well for you. It really feels like the end of the world, until you find your new path.
