5 Ways to Prepare for Year 13 This Summer!! (make your life easier...) 💛

I'm starting year 13 in september and i am TERRIFIED

@@axelhofste2636 good luck, I’ve finished year 13 now, it wasn’t easy but u get through it

[@WinterfellEl]

I'm so scared to go to year 13, feel so unprepared and I need to start writing my personal statement but I have no idea how to start haha, but I will persevere !

[@noshheen]

Winterfell El same. I think the beginning of the personal statement is always the hardest

[@forireadandfly4873]

Nosheen Zahir true

[@joerees6468]

As someone who applied last year my biggest advice is to start small. Start listing the extra things you've done regarding your course. So just in your phone notes as you do them or as you remember them start like: NCS, magazines/articles, additional lectures, work experience. Once you've done that, open up a document and flesh each little point out. Explain what skills you gained from each experience and why it makes you want to study your course/ why it means you'll excel at uni. From these fleshed out sentences start grouping them into paragraphs. For example, my grouping was : Biology (and relevant work experience and articles), chemistry, extra curricular like NCS, extra curricular drama. That kind of structure. Then there's your first draft. Just remember your personal statement will feel awkward to write AND read but that's the nature of it. Also the first draft will be awful. That's just how it is. Take your first draft personal statement to a teacher and ge them to read for spelling/ grammar mistakes and to ensure it reads well. Correct anything the teacher tells you to, then take it back to them and repeat until they say it's good. If in doubt you can then take it to another teacher and another. Get it checked as many times as you feel like you should until it's perfect in your eyes. And honestly it's really easy to do this. I did mine in the summer and got it checked and I'd sent my UCAS off by the second week of October.

[@chinditone]

I'm so freaking scared... I've only just started writing mine and I've only just started revision of AS materials..

Winterfell El sameeee

[@imogen9167]

Everyone warns about the jump from GCSE to year 12 but NOBODY warns about the jump from year 12 to year 13. Personally, I found the yr 12 to yr 13 jump was much bigger, so if (like me) you didn't find the jump from GCSE to year 12 that hard, please be aware that year 12 and year 13 are NOT equal in terms of work load and difficulty!!

[@songstudio406]

Can you please explain?

[@angusroberts149]

@@songstudio406 she said that 4 years ago 😅, I think what everyone means is that the amount of time you need to be investing in your revision needs to increase. E.g you may have to do a lot more homework’s in a week or set lots of independent learning on small topics. Or you may be set a past paper to do in class or for homework.

[@amna.8870]

ok youre scaring me- also, hows uni for you?

[@rhea2257]

I'm scared for year 13 bc my year 12 mock results were really BAD. I hate that I didn't take year 12 more seriously

[@fatimazkhan2638]

Rhea Cunha omg same! I relaxed waay too much and now u need to revise my ass off

[@rhea2257]

lazy rn your username describes my entire of year 12

[@fatimazkhan2638]

Rhea Cunha 😂😂 thats y i chose it.. Basically my whole life.. Im so scared for bio and chem😭

[@rhea2257]

lazy rn I do the same subjects as you and psychology. Bio is a mess, don't even get me started

[@wetasspaddington]

Rhea Cunha thats why physics is the best.

[@Lolly74079]

Even though I’m going into Y13 this year, a tip I’d give is clean and sort your room ready for next year. Last year, I really noticed that I revised more often/more productively when my room and desk were clean. I’m also sorting the stuff I put off like my wardrobe so I can store ironed clothes in it, making getting dressed in the morning 10x easier (my wardrobe was just full of crap that I didn’t want in my room but didn’t throw it. I feel so much better now that it’s gone and I can only imagine how good I’ll feel once the room is fully done and the rubbish bags are gone)

[@UnJadedJade]

Oh my god, YESSS!!! ^^^ too true x

[@chloebayliss8252]

This is great if your not moving house the week you go back to school😂

[@ao4698]

That feeling when year 13 is two weeks away and you’re feeling SO UNPREPARED I’m sure this video will help me thank u Jade

[@UnJadedJade]

ME LAST YEAR!!! Honestly, I really hope it can help!! Good luck ❤️ x

[@ao4698]

UnJaded Jade thank you!! ❤️Good luck for your results, too.

[@bjg2492]

😱 only two weeks I hadn’t even looked at the calendar 😭

[@mariyam912]

@ao4698 wya now

[@amna.8870]

Im exactly in that position rn loll

[@samarajabeen6882]

summary : 1 - get some coursework done!!!!! (esp history ) 2 - if planning on going to university - do research, compare universities, think about if you wanna stay at home or move into accommodation, and make sure you know which course you want to do (if unsure think about which subject you enjoy, write down what things interests you and have a look from there) 3 - personal statement :( - summer of year 12 - 13 need to read books, articles, do work experience, so you can write a list of relevant things towards to your personal statement, have a go at writing it (first draft) so you're not struggling and it's out of the way 4 - make sure you have all the essential revision notes from year 12 to revise it during year 13 (flashcards, mindmaps, online notes, whatever helps you to revise) so that it is all there ready for you and so you're not running behind - anything you struggled with in year 12 go over it for the last few weeks of the summer holiday, just go over some of the content of year 12 so you don't fall behind in revision 5 - enjoy your summer, don't revise all day everyday, you deserve a break and deserve to have some fun before year 13 starts, go out friends/family if taking 4 subjects and finding it difficult think about it over the summer and consider dropping it, if you want as you would rather get 3 amazing grades than 4 that you aren't as proud of Good luck and don't over work yourself too much or stress yourself out you've got this and hopefully you will get the grades that you want and deserve :)

[@callmelady9871]

I feel so stressed about y13... 1.You have to do well in the exam 2.Find an appropriate university 3.Find a course you are interested with 4.Do extrascholar activity to put in your uni-CV 5.Deal with mental breakdown 6.TRY to stay socialize and healthy

[@suhaylaahmed8031]

this is came up in my recommendation and it is now lockdown so year 12 was a waste! going into year 13 and still doing exams at the end of the year after the 2 months being off is gonna be SOOOO stressful. summer is not seeing me 😔

[@ceea6430]

what a level subjects are you doing

[@abadabs]

I’m so glad you mentioned retaking AS because I have been shunned for doing it myself, just out of people’s pure ignorance. It is hard seeing all your friends move onto uni but knowing I have a second chance is helping me keep sane. Good luck to everyone getting results tomorrow💓

[@hahaharry2411]

I just finished year 12, there was one of those people in each of my classes and i found them very helpful with understanding and getting used to the subject :D

[@joerees6468]

I wanted to throw my 2 cents in about starting a personal statement cos that's probably one of the worst parts of the uni process. As someone who applied last year my biggest advice is to start small. Start listing the extra things you've done regarding your course. So just in your phone notes as you do them or as you remember them start like: NCS, magazines/articles, additional lectures, work experience. Once you've done that, open up a document and flesh each little point out.

Ahh,​ this is exactly what I need, I'm so scared for Year 13 because everyone keeps warning me of how stressful it is! And like you say there's literally no videos on it, thank you, Jade! x

[@rubiebarker5152]

You are so right! There are no videos to help year 12 to 13... why?! But this is great thank you x

[@redrosejfjdjfkdj]

You are like a mind reader Jade, I have been looking for a video like this but all I could find was advice for starting year 12! Xxx

[@slightmelancholy]

I also have a tip to help someone prepare for Year 13: utilise all of the resources your school/institution gives! if you have a careers/university advisor, please go to them. Many of my peers never visited the councilor, even by graduation, and you never know how the advisor could have helped you, unless you go book that appointment 💛

[@UnJadedJade]

YESSSSS love that!! Thank you for sharing ☺️ x

[@ellaloveland1714]

This is perfect, thank you! Going into Y13 and absolutely petrified but going to take it in my stride ☺️

[@khadijahnasrin2328]

you honestly help me so much every word you say is comforting and helpful, espically where you said there is no shame in retaking year 12 because that may be one of my options. thank you

I’m starting year 13 next week and absolutely dreading it

[@rhea2257]

thank you jade for this video ,I said to myself at beginning of summer I was going to get work done, but here we are and I only started going over AS content yesterday. I really needed this reminder 💕

Rhea Cunha mooood!!!

[@susanfelstead9343]

Im not even going into year 13 but its jade so you have to love the content

[@UnJadedJade]

Right hello I love you xxxx

[@chloefeather_]

A tip for anyone going into Year 13 - notes organisation ! I found it so helpful before the start of year 13 to list on a word document all the different resources I used for revising each subject or certain topics within a subject (e.g. for geography I used 2 different textbooks, a revision guide, my teachers PowerPoints, then certain online websites I'd found etc.) as then I could make sure I had covered every piece of information necessary from my year 12 content and know I was using the best sources to collate different sections of my notes. This definitely helps to then condense notes later on as you know you won't be missing out any information that might come up in the exam xx

[@hoyama1520]

this is exactly what I needed. thank you so much

[@katekinloch]

i kid u not, i have been looking for a viDEO LIKE THIS FOR AGES and couldn't rlly find anything. so so helpful n the text in the corner with the condensed info is fab. thank uuu. ur channel has beEN A LIFESAVER XX good luck for results day tomorrow :)))

[@slickjumpedoverthelazydog]

tips for going into year 13 1 stay on top of work summer homework year 12 notices course work 2 research for the next stage think about university do you want to apply for an apprenticeship do you wanna take a gap year 3 relax so you go into year 13 feeling refreshed 4 organize organize sheets put stuff away into folders go through your stationary cheeks pens are working 5 get into a good routin fixing your sleep sqedual having sold routines

[@priscillaose5772]

I never realised there was a Jump till i started year 13, so this video would have been so useful! You can also watch revision videos on topics that you will learn in year 13 so that you understand a bit before you learn it in class

[@katiecrook7311]

Thank you sooooo much for this video!!!! I still haven’t started my personal statement oops or any of my coursework but will defo start it xxx

[@mia.jade.]

Your advice as to how to choose a university course is great. One of my teachers made me do that - I found the list of what you (dis)like about your A level subjects particularly helpful.

[@injeolmiii2832]

I'm form Germany and even tho our school systems are very different, I still found this really helpful because I'll be starting my last year at school soon and this motivated me to revise some things I didn't understand last year! So thank you❤❤

[@laurenh4648]

this is just what I needed !!! I’ve been so stressed thinking about going into year 13 but this video has reassured me. I was really guilty about not doing any work so far this summer but now I don’t feel as bad, and actually feel motivated to do something productive!

[@sorrelfenelon9422]

I would also say that it's vital to give yourself the time and space to rest. Year 13 is very hard and very stressful, so using summer as a way of resting and enjoying yourself to prevent burning out in year 13 is so, so important. So, yes, do a bit of a recap and I 100% recommend at least a first draft of a personal statement, but also make sure to do give yourself time to do what you enjoy!

[@madhuriraghavan4256]

All the best for tomorrow Jade! We love you no matter what 😘💟

[@prettystar8523]

So next week I'll start my year 13 and I've just watched this video 😥 BUT thank god, this summer I looked for some univs and you know some majors and all that stuff but I'm still struggling with taking a last decision. Anyways .To prepare for this year I just did some maths/chemistry/nuclear revision and this step is really important to refresh your mind and to have a big boost to start your school year and if you already started your school but you didn't do any revision better start right now bc this step is utterly basic. And of course the other steps n ways in this vid .Thank you jade and thank you *the one who's reading Let's make this year full of success.

[@hannahbiggs9552]

I was literally thinking the other day that no one tells you about the jump between year 12 and 13 and then this video popped up, thank you jade it really helped. I would say another tip would be to sort your life out as-well as school stuff like tidy your room, sort your stationary and organise the summer and the first few weeks x

[@XoAzora12]

hey!💞 I just wanted to say all the best for tomorrow (which you won’t need!) but whatever you get I’m sure you will know how to deal with it amazingly, I’m not sure if you’ll read this message but if you’re feeling nervous for tomorrow take your own advice and watch back your own videos because honestly they are so motivational and inspirational for others and no matter what you should be so proud of yourself not only for the work you did at school but everything you’ve done for everyone else too.

this is such good advice i found year 12 to year 13 sort of alright ( a part from science) but what i found was my subjects that i took the jump was bigger from year 12 to year 13 and not a lot of people talk about the jump from12 to 1 more year 11 to 12 and it is important to talk about it because i was too relaxed going on and never realised it could get harder but it is manageable as year 12 put me in the mind set for it , thanks for talking about this Jade !! xxx
