HOW I REVISE: a level history! 

Hey, did u end up achieving your A's, I'm first year a level student and I've been stuck on C-Bs as well

@@sS1SR906 yeah i got an A*! :)) i found that after i did my coursework i really improved in all my coursework subjects, just do as many practice papers as you can!! a C at this stage is still a really good position to be in :))

@@heathertaylor104 well done! i’m at Cs, Bs too but i’m 2nd year, do u think it’s posible to still get As at this point?

hi! what topics did you do? I do Cold War & British Empire, and I'm stressing since my A-Levels are in like two months

@@heathertaylor104 how did you revise for your a level history?

Yeah, I’m on OCR and we have 3 topics and coursework. It’s quite stressful

@@libertyjones2503 the coursework for ocr will be the death of me

Clearly not.

this is all i could think whilst watching this! like i have to do democracies in change for both britain and the usa in the 1900s and it's awful :( history is one of my favourite things to learn about but these topics are so boring

Ellie S I feel a similar way about taking media for A Level, I hate it and it’s completely useless for me now. I strongly regret not dropping it in yr12 and changing to a different A Level. I definitely think it would be a good idea to drop the media btec if you really dislike it and give A levels a go, it’s a very brave move, but I think you won’t regret it in the long run. To put it in perspective, I don’t mean to trample on those who do media btec but by doing just that qualification it really limits your choices in the future and employers who work within the media actually say they don’t want btec media students, they want kids with a broad educational background (3 A levels). For example, my media teacher tried to arrange a talk with media btec students at my school from prospective employers and they refused because they said, “well, why are they taking btec media? That’s not what we are looking for.” Which surprised me but it’s true. A levels are tough so what I would do if I was in your situation is take 1 higher level btec that’s equivalent to 1 A level, so you have one subject that isn’t so exam heavy. Or you could take 1 A level that is more vocational like art, graphic design, if your more creative as at least there will be one subject that isn’t revision heavy. Then chose two that are more essay based or the sciences what ever you prefer. This will really broaden your options! If you really fear the more content heavy A levels you could always do 2 or 3 creative ones, regardless you will still have more options than 1 btec qualification in media.

Aimee Gardner thank you so much this is extremely helpful and eye opening! Yeah if I were to switch to a levels I would do history art and photography so I’m easing off the heavy revision and content as I enjoy the creative subjects. I will never ever go into media or filmmaking and I feel as though I need to test the waters in different subjects like history and art

Ellie S That’s no problem. Yeah, I definitely think if your so certain you don’t want to go down the route of film making or media studies at uni then I think you may find that just taking btec media could lead to be a bit of a waste of your time. I think it’s really designed for people who are determined to go into production or only want to take media related courses at uni.

That's fine, you don't need to have done history gcse, just have the writing skills and be motivated
