Hermione received ten outstandings and one exceeds expectations on her OWLS and it just reminds me of your results on how you got one A instead of A* and it's so adorable.

[@MatthewAppleby42]

No need to apologise for the glasses, I think they look great on you! As always another great video with some useful advice.😀

[@evawalters2267]

😱 omg your grades are sooooo amazing!! I've never met someone who did that well! Congratulations you should be so proud of yourself!

[@RubyGranger8]

Ah thank you so much! It means a lot :)x

[@Evieeflynn]

Wow Ruby, your results are amazing and I will definitely out lots of work into my GCSEs ❤️❤️❤️

[@RubyGranger8]

HowToBeEvie thank you Evie! Good luck for the next two years - I don't doubt that you'll be amazing (and I meant to say well done for your level 8 in history! That's amazing, especially considering you only just started!)xxx

[@neetarane1580]

Ruby Granger u are such a great inspiration to all the grangerheads out here congratulations for your grades and ps can u tell me some of hermione granger study tips? love from India 💙

[@RubyGranger8]

Thank you so much India! You can have a look at my Hermione homework video and 'how to study like hermione' xx

[@Evieeflynn]

Thank you Ruby, you are so kind!! Im definitely loving history recently and all of my GCSE subjects actually. I am doing subjects that I love for GCSE and your videos always help to inspire me and give me new tips for revision!! :)

[@neetarane1580]

thanks ruby you are so kind

[@cbac9870]

your grades were insane, really motivates me to step up my revision as so close to exams! x

[@wickedspiral8598]

What did you get?

[@yedidiababadi1874]

congratulations! Don't feel bad about ''showing off'' because you earned hose A*s even the 100%

[@xanther9144]

I got 9 A*s and an A because I could only do 10 at my school. I genuinely believe that if you feel confident and you're doing well don't freak out and do as much revision as Ruby, if you don't think you can or don't feel you need to. As she said "enjoy what you're doing", revise how you know works for you. 10 hours a day didn't work for me. Worked for her which is great though. Agreed though, past papers are key. Also do some exercise. It clears your head like nothing else. Seriously. Don't sit at a desk for too long otherwise you will lose your mind. Go for a run, swim, even a walk

[@nesrinisli6921]

Xanthe R I barely did anything for my gcses and I got 6 A*s , 2 As a B and a C ,

[@m.m5105]

[@alannaweeks2445]

I'm so happy for you and the results you got, only A*s and 1 A!!!!! I'm in Year 9, and at my school that's the year we start our GCSE's. I watch your videos all the time to help me revise. Thank you for making this video, it really helped! :)

[@RubyGranger8]

I'm so happy to hear that this helped you! Good luck for the next three years :)x

[@marijanskrnicki5551]

Oh, Ruby, you should never apologise for wearing glasses! I wear them too, and I think there is nothing to apologise if you have bad eyesight. Eye contacts are more practical, but I love your look with glasses.... Congratulations on your extraordinary results! I knew you were going to do well! Hermione would be proud! Greetings from Croatia! :) :)

[@sbp5433]

very true.I wear glasses too. And I think that she looks really cool in those glasses.

[@mayastallkamp9627]

[@frances8163]

Congratulations on your results, Ruby! You definitely inspire me to work harder :) Lots of love from the Philippines! x

[@Isabella_Gioia]

Congratulations on your stunning results! I have always been a dedicated student myself, but I I have never studied quite as much as you do, when I was your age. That said, I think it's great that you are not ashamed to admit how much hard work actually went into the preparation for those exams. You must be really proud of yourself!

[@LB-gt4yd]

It's great that you did so well and that you enjoy studying, and I know people learn in different ways. But I just want to say to all the people watching this you DON'T need to this much work to do well. This is not the only way to get such good results and for most people doing this much revision will hinder them not help them as you just won't be able to focus doing 10 hours a day. All I'm saying is her tips are great, but there's more than one way to do well and make sure the method you're using is the best one for you!

[@moon_child_000]

I'm so happy for your grades! ^^

[@radhikamehta3265]

Your grades are fantastic ruby and i am honestly really happy for you! My igcses are a little more than a year to go but i think your tips shall certainly help me. And oh,you don't have to apologise,you look lovely in your glasses

[@applepingua3974]

Amazing job Ruby!! I don't take the GCSEs because I'm from the US, but those grades are obviously amazing and we can all see how much effort you put into studying as it's kind of your life

[@vic4495]

Thank you very much! I live in Spain, and I've been going to Montessori School British education since I was 3 years old. I'm on year 10 now and next year I'm having my GCSE's. This helps a lot because I am pretty nervous about them. Thank you, again! P.D Awesome results by the way!

[@valleygirlxx3526]

Don't apologise for wearing glasses. That is like apologising for needing them

You DESERVE to show off! Don't feel bad about it YOU WORKED SOOOOOO HARD!

WOW !! You work so hard!!! It’s amazing how you got these grades!!! Your hard work really paid off 😊😉

[@jenni3196]

This video is inspiring me so much! I am motivated to try really hard for my GCSE's now (even though I'm in year 9) . Am I the only one who has started their GCSE courses in year 9 ?

[@RubyGranger8]

I started by GCSE courses in year 9 too actually. By September of Year 10 you want to have all of your year 9 notes written up - it will help you a lot!

[@kez_xmz]

Ruby you are such an inspiration everything that you have done is amazing and really proves that hard work does always help.

[@emilygrootkarzijn6944]

This is so encredibly motivating Ruby! I'm watching this before going back to school this year, I'm going to a new school so it's kinda scary but I'm very excited!

[@VenhedisKaffas]

Congratulations Ruby!Your grades are realy great!👍🏻

[@nesrinisli6921]

I admire your motivation. However , here’s a tip for you guys, you don’t have to study 6 hours a day , the key is constantly paying attention at school. If you do that, you’ll automatically get good grades.

[@kez_xmz]

You did amazingly well and you truly deserved it.You are truly inspirational.

[@applepingua3974]

The beginning reminds me a bit of the part in The Half Blood Prince when the trio get their O.W.L. results (I just reread that part so that's probably why it's fresh in my mind)

[@bhaavyadas6137]

congrats ruby;💕💖

[@manojkumardas7096]

congrats ruby! so nice result

[@atica2426]

Hey, Ruby don't get me wrong please, I'm a subscriber of yours. But do you really think studying this much is healthy? I mean what about your brain's social development etc.? I'm genuinely asking this, in no way I'm trying to belittle or offend you. I don't live in the UK, I live in the Netherlands and we have a difficult school system here, we have 6 different types of high school/college - in one, we do an IQ-test after year 8 and based on our results we go to a certain type of school. I am currently in year 5 of VWO, after the summer break i will be in my last year. VWO is basically a pre-university course of 6 years on a Cambridge level. We also study a lot so i totally understand you love studying etc. But isn't this a bit too much?

[@matteocatilo3822]

Seeking Knowledge unfortunately the UK are horrible at maintaining the mental health of its students - they constantly ovework students by making harder exams without improving teaching methods.

[@atica2426]

Matteo Catilo oh thats sad here the exams get more difficult too, like ive done english exams with my cousin coz she lives there in UK but to me they were sooo easy eventho she was one year ahead of me. However our schools and educationsystems are great, the government really encourages us to be the best version of ourselves, by studying in an effective way, being happy and offering us free coaches when we feel like we're really stressed and are close to a burn-out.

[@matteocatilo3822]

Seeking Knowledge That is true- but recently there have been some reformations in the high school exams starting next year and they are immensely difficult ; they have taken the creativity and enjoyment out of education and just want to compete with other countries sadly.

[@atica2426]

Matteo Catilo thats indeed really sad, I guess they do that in every country but in Uk its a bit too much then 😕 come to the Netherlands! problem solved 🙌🏽😉

[@matteocatilo3822]

Seeking Knowledge yes!! Students in out school are really jealous of Netherlands and Finland - they have a great education system where they really do balance education with life in general.

[@imogenh9000]

Great video Ruby. Keep up the good work!

[@phoebeann4485]

I'm going into year 10, and I find your study methods quite vigorous and won't study as long because my attention span isn't that great! But this was so helpful! I'm almost a year late but congratulations! I am pressurised to get all 8/9 grades which without hard work I can't achieve, thank you for this video! You made GCSE's sound okay! :)))

[@ilirasllani6776]

I am rewatching this after your A levels results!! Well done!

[@lyralheinwen6379]

Congratualions to your amazing results! You really deserve them, though, since you have worked so hard! Video is wonderful as always

[@farahshah487]

Your grades are outstanding, that has just motivated me to study for all my tests!!!

[@dominik6375]

Wow I really thought that I've done all and that it's not possible for me to get better at my point without neglecting my life besides school.. but I definitely have a goal I want to reach and I was sure that there has to be anything I can change or anything I can do. By finding your channel I knew I was right. To be honest at first I thought "wow that's not good what she's doing bc she's just focusing on school and is neglecting other parts of life..." but little did I know I was so wrong! As I was watching more and more of your videos I saw that you're the most organized student I've seen so far and that you know exactly what to do and when to do. The past night I've spent watching so many of your videos and I'm like such a Harry Potter fan too (compared to my friends I thought I was disturbingly addicted to it but now I start to consider myself as a Muggle watching you 🙁😅 There were so many things I totally neglected and missed during the last school your such as reading or... but now I have a new role model and I think I will copy a lot of your time management. You're like the most inspiring person for me at the moment, I mean not to be/sound conservative or anything but I'm so happy to live in the 21st century where a woman can be a role model for a guy. You're working so incredibly hard and you're such a strong, independent and intelligent young woman if you don't become a popular person for your work in the next year's I don't know who else does. 🙌I'm pretty sure you'll never see/read all this but if you do... all of my respect from Germany and I truly wish that you accomplish your dreams and goals in life!

Ruby granger. I know that u work really hard and I admire you for all you do but I have a question. Is it ok to not always get a good grade if u try your best and are just having a bad day? Also, do grade matter all this much? I try really hard in school, and I get good grades but in the grand scheme of things, aren't there more important things. I don't know I'm at a. Sry confusing stage. Just wondering if u had some answers for me thanks! Love u lots

[@RubyGranger8]

K Bon you're right: there are more important things. If you try your best, then there is nothing more that you could have done and so you should ALWAYS be proud of your grade if you worked your very hardest for the grade xx

Hello Ruby, my name is Megan and I am 12 years old. I am in year 7 at school. Are there any tips you could give to revise in my age group? I realy want to please myself and my dreams to go to Oxford university. Thankyou

[@louiseclarke392]

Work on your end of your exams, so your end of year, year 7 one, 8 and then 9 make sure you do your best in these tests so you can get into the best sets for the up coming year. ReView the things you learned that day and practice it. Do this till year 10 and then do those tips she recommended. Hope that helped

[@meganwhite7413]

Louise Clarke Thankyou! those tips will help emensily x

[@Izzygilbey]

make your notes in your exercise books neat and coherent, it saves so much time when you come to revise for end of year exams you're not missing like half of your notes and have nothing to revise from lol. also don't stress too much these first couple of years, push for the end of year exams but don't burn out during the year as you'll end up being under a lot of stress. those are just some tips that helped me :)

[@meganwhite7413]

izzy g Thankyou!

[@livinglife3967]

honestly just do all the homework that they give you and if you are really interested read around about extra information. if there any end of term tests revise but don't stress, appreciate the more calm secondary years!

[@dinarajayawickrama7820]

How do you motivate yourself to do 10 hours a day ?

[@100sian]

Dinara Jayawickrama I wouldn't recommend working for that long, it's not healthy and can lead to lots of stress later on as you won't be motivated to revise anymore, this is what happened to me so I really do not recommend revising for that long, maximum you should do is around 5-6 hours a day with lots of breaks in between and do things that you enjoy!

[@rhythmicelegance4670]

It is different for each person. Ppl who work for that long and longer, and ppl who prefer shorter sessions that still brings them success, do it because their methods of studying and learning work for them in making them comfortable with the material and achieves the results they are looking for, and many find it really fun to spend extra time on the material. Once you find what works for you with becoming at least slightly interested in the subject, learning it, and remembering it, and gets you the results you want, that will become your type of normality. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s unhealthy or abnormal for you, if it’s what particularly works for you. Experiment with different methods and time frames to see what’s best for you. There are so many ideas on the internet that you can choose to design your own successful schedule, including how short or long of a break in-between or afterwards might work for you. Also, as she says, you can start with designing an inspiring study area for yourself with all the supplies you’ll need and decorations that will motivate but not distract you. Creating a time-specific study schedule helps a lot as well. Ruby has a really pretty and clever study planner you can get from her shop and customise, or you can design your own. Be sure to *commit* to it for the best outcome! :) (Btw, not everyone has school as a top priority, and that’s ok if it works for them, but some will try to discourage the studious ppl with all sorts of criticisms. Don’t let anyone dilute your ambitions either way. To each, their own!)

[@niamhfinnieston4569]

Don't apologise for wearing glasses you look so pretty x

[@pnkyhrt]

I think the glasses fit you very well

[@elliesmith5633]

There is absolutely no hate in what I'm going to say. But you don't NEED GCSE grades that good to do well in life. Yes you need to get at least a c in English and maths as well as 3 other exams to get into most colleges. However after you get into college GCSE's don't matter. I have a full time job (a good one that I need a qualification for) but it wasn't based upon my grades. They didn't care at all! I get for some they do. But it's mainly a levels that they are about. Honest opinion and I'm not saying what you are doing is bad but give yourself a break. Watch TV every now and then or play with friends for a full day! It must make people think that if you font get A's or A*'s at GCSE then they've failed and will get nowhere in life.
