Reacting to the pointless sh*t I bought in year 12- What you ACTUALLY need for sixth form

Same!

[@trinity9947]

Same, I’m in year 11 (well not anymore😂) and our school were convinced that we were gonna be back in so didn’t really tell us anything about what we needed for sixth form. Since I’m going to a sixth form college instead of staying at my secondary school it was even harder because of our welcome to college day being cancelled (or postponed depending on how long this lasts), so this video was extremely helpful.

[@lilliegreen2169]

I’m going into year 12 in September, and have been searching for the right stationery haul video, but as soon as I saw the 1975 abeior tshirt, I decided this was the right video to watch haha!

Honestly same 😭 even my mum gets embarrassed whenever we go wilko for revision cards ahah

[@Meg_intheclouds]

I’m 100% a flashcard person- but I mainly do mine digitally because it’s just a lot less paper. But also I’m mainly using notion for notes and organisation, then I have a paper planner for things in class and then 3 subject note books (I’m taking law, English literature and History) and then a small folder for paper handouts so they don’t get lost. Because I have my iPad where most revision and like my “folders” are going to be. I just think it’ll be so much easier.

[@MeganMahoney1]

Oh wow that's such a good idea!! Back in my day (lol, it was only 2018) I didn't even know what notion was or how to use an iPad for school. Sounds like a plan :) xx

[@Eki_________]

I have somehow accumulated over like 15 exercise books from secondary which are mostly empty so I'm considering just using some of those. I also have plastic folders with polypockets inside but they're fairly small/flat, would that be good enough?

[@MeganMahoney1]

Good luck for results day! I think I only used graph paper once in the whole two years so I wouldn't worry as your teachers will provide you with that. You will have to complete coursework, 20% of the final grade, where all the graphs are done on a computer. Some lessons you might need a calculator but usually the teachers would warn us about those lessons or I'd use my phone x

[@Tawanaa]

Megan Mahoney Damn history must’ve been tough! But how did you find english lit☺️?

[@MeganMahoney1]

Tawana yeah history was long but enjoyable! English I loved the texts I studied, but I found it such a step up from gcse and really challenging at times. If you go from an A* grade at gcse to a C grade at a level in the beginning that’s actually so normal, so don’t be disheartened. Right to the end I did struggle with eng lit as it didn’t come as naturally as my other subjects. Also didn’t help as I had 4 different teachers by the end of year 13! But, it does equip you with writing skills that will help in your other subjects and the content you’ll learn is so interesting, just be prepared for a challenge xx
