omg i needed this so much!! tahnk you! but i have a question: my school didn't provide work experience because of corona so what do i do for where we write about work experience?

[@SamuelDada]

No problem Priya, as you were unable to do any work experience elaborate on any events you participated in at school and roles you have taken up

[@Blessingstevens06]

@@SamuelDada when your talking about events in school does it have to be done now or in the past like sports as i did netball and basketball

[@Blessingstevens06]

@@SamuelDada also can you talk about how in primary school you helped out in the nursery and reception as it shows skill

[@theburpman8006]

I did a sixth form college for my first year. I was in sixth form but instead I did a college diploma instead of A Levels. But it was a really foundation course and I didn’t want to carry on doing something for two or three years which was so basic for me. The second year, I moved to college, where I studied Travel and Tourism Level 1 and I am currently in my second year studying Travel and Tourism Level 2.

Do you apply for sixth forms with mock grades? U cant apply for a good sixth form if u get low mock predicted grades?

[@tillyhodges46]

Hey! This video helped me more than words could explain ,, how would I start my personal statement if I’m looking at changing schools for sixth form :)

I am so happy and pleased to hear that! I would focus more on the subjects you want to study and then write a small sentence about why you like the school you are applying to 😊

Hello when you applied for 6th form did they take your predicted grades or the ones from the end of the year

[@SamuelDada]

Typically the predicted grades is what they want. I hope that helps ☺️

[@Rhi2Go]

What if you have no work experience or past roles in school?

[@SamuelDada]

I would elaborate on any interest or hobbies you have that may help in the subject you are applying for in terms of skills! Hope this helps 😊

[@Sasukegotputinapack]

I haven’t even applied for sixth form or college yet , when I get my grades in august I will, good move?

[@ravioli3322]

No, not at all. You have to apply usually before the college/Sixth form deadline (November December time) and they give you an offer based off of your predicted grades and cv. Then when it comes to results day, if u get the grades required for the college/sixth form you can go. It’s not possible as I know of to apply right when you get your grade in August as places for next September will already have places. Hope this helps.

[@maddykirby8595]

Wait for references do you specifically have to ask your teachers for them or do you just put you head of year and tutor in?

[@SamuelDada]

For the references you inform the your teacher or head of year that you are putting their details down in you CV as references then they will be able to draft something for you. Then when required your teachers will submit the references if they are asked so you don’t have to worry about it 😊

[@danny1933]

maybe ask your teacher to do an in classroom assessment and then use the grade from that.

[@SamuelDada]

I would advise you to get in touch with your teacher, form tutor or head of the year they will be able to guide you and give you an adjusted predicted grade :) just convey that you are willing to work really hard to get the best possible grade! all the best :)
