Did I get into Uni? Did I meet my grades? Did I get what I expected?
Results day can be quite the stress, but I accidentally managed to sleep through the alarm which I think helped me avoid the most stressful part of the day!
Spoiler haha
In short I'll be heading off to the University of Sheffield in September to study journalism - woo!
Be sure to watch my University 2018 Haul and see what I'm taking to Uni with me: • HUGE UNIVERSITY HAUL |...

Who actually am I tho?
Hi, I'm Alice... I'm 18 and I made this channel to start documenting my revision escapades and tips because... I think I'm quite good at it?! I've loved watching study-tubers for ages so thought I could maybe give the whole video thing a try (I'll probably flop but oh well at least I tried lol)
I'm also a Disney addict. I'm happiest when listening to show tunes and drinking a cuppa :)
Thanks for watching!

Watching people open GCSE grades is entertaining but A Level grades are another type of stress

[@muzzzzzzzzzzwwe]

Karen Okao lmao opening GCSEs

[@jemmac4540]

Karen Okao 😂😂😂

[@willmerricks990]

watching this almost 5 years later in the middle of exams. making me feel a lot better icl

[@sianashton9837]

awww!!! Well done! You do make me giggle 😂 Literally laughed so hard when you logged in and started freaking out and was “like here’s the thing” mid freaking out 😂😂

[@AlicePreece]

Haha thank you! At least someone finds me amusing lol

[@lilybailey5942]

Well done girl !! 💝 your reaction to getting an A* in English is the same as mine to getting an A* in chemistry! I didn’t even know it was possible with all the rules on how to get one and i still don’t know how I got it! 🤦🏽‍♀️ have fun in Sheffield!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@AlicePreece]

Congrats gal! That’s amazing!

[@fjak654]

I looooooove your personality. And congrats on your grades 👍😀

[@AlicePreece]

Thank you so much!

[@nessagotdrip]

5 subjects done... Math->b Biology->b Physics->b Chemistry->c English->b Is this good??

[@AlicePreece]

That’s AMAZING

[@hayleyesthertaylor9331]

thanks for the study motivation :)

[@jadehamilton148]

Congrats but for the subjects I'm taking bio chem and maths the grade boundaries are between 64-80%for an A* so can I lose a few marks in each exam????

[@AlicePreece]

Definitely! Normally each exam has different boundaries, and then the grades combine together, so as long as your averaging A*s and high As across exams, you will be fine :)

[@isobelgoddard2185]

I'm doing English Language too and I don't understand the marking. I know 20% coursework is 100 marks so the two papers are 40% 200 marks to make the overall 500 but I just don't understand because each paper is out of 100 isn't it??

[@AlicePreece]

Honestly I just wouldn’t worry about that - calculating UMS points is beyond my capabilities haha! Just try your best in the exams and then you can’t do any more...

[@charlotteanncooke6834]

I live in Sheffield! The both university’s are amazing. Nightlife is amazing too!

[@AlicePreece]

Yayy I’m so excited!

[@regenbogen2580]

Sheffield is amazing. I did Languages there in 2009

[@AlicePreece]

Ah, that's so good to hear! I can't wait to get there now

[@emma_xx_xx5908]

Wow can u do a revision video plse! Just started year 12

[@AlicePreece]

Would love to do one of these eventually!

[@aimeegardner9736]

Can I ask how you revised for media? Are you taking the Eduqas spec? Because I took it thinking it would be alright, but I actually have no idea how to revise for it because I find it very subjective. The teaching at my school has been all over the place as well because we’re on a new spec the general consensus is no one has a clue what’s going on, we have no model essays or accurate past papers to go by. It’s actually stressing me out and I’ve just put it on a massive back burner.

[@AlicePreece]

I actually took the WJEC spec on the old exam version so am not sure how much help I’ll be... However I basically just analysed each of my texts in great details at college and at home then transferred and condensed everything onto mind maps and learnt everything that way... sorry if that’s not much help!

[@gd4761]

Congrats on your results and your channel

[@AlicePreece]

Thank you so much! 💖

[@l60902]

Hey, could you do a video for a level media? It would benefit a lot of people as their isn’t many people that acc make videos about it x

[@rosehill4178]

I am happy for your grades😊😊

[@andrewjg_]

How did you get an A in politics

[@LewisStar121]

[@AlicePreece]

Haha, better late than never! Thanks for this comment, hopefully you can catch up!

[@alechague9145]

[@alevelrevision_ttba2383]

would you be able to share any of your english language advice ??? tips tricks dn any revision

[@AlicePreece]

Definitely - I’ll try and upload a video on the whole subject soon

[@alevelrevision_ttba2383]

yes !!! thank you I know all the theories but like applying it to the questions - could you do a break down of pics and theory's - and your advice on getting an A star and what you id on your coursework ??@@AlicePreece

[@isabellagomez8316]

Please do you have any tips for English Lang? Paper 1 is on Monday and I’m stressing!

[@AlicePreece]

Luke Laing use the word represents a billion times, try and use as many different language levels as you can, but focus on the higher ones (clauses, phrases etc). Only highlight meanings. You can highlight the features after (i.e don’t just talk about a verb phrase because you know it’s a verb phrase, talk about an interesting sentence with meaning that happens to be a verb phrase - you get me?)

[@AlicePreece]

Hey guys - I've just uploaded a full video on this, so for more tips on paper one, go have a watch :)

[@steffi-ann]

Well done 😍

[@AlicePreece]

Thank you!

[@steffi-ann]

Alice Preece you’re welcome 😊

[@layomi8505]

youtube recommending this 9 days before results day is a shit move

[@charilehall6007]

Hey, loved the video, I’m going into year 13 and really struggling with Politics, would you be willing to sell your notes or literally anything to do with the subject. Sorry, understand if you can’t help just desperate lol 😂

[@AlicePreece]

Yeah I'm happy to help! My exam board was AQA and I was on the AS/A2 course though... are you on the linear? I'm not sure how much help I'd be if the courses are different, but if you still think my advice could be helpful let me know! You can always send me a dm on insta/twitter and I'll try my best to help!

[@hannahclarke2044]

I really struggled with politics too and managed to come out with an A* (aqa) somehow, definitely something that comes with time, keep at it xx

[@rhix9941]

[@EllaMaexo]

Loved watching this! I went to see Mamma the night before results day too!😂 I live about 20 minutes away from Sheffield but I’m moving to Leeds for uni, Sheffield is such a lovely city though!x

[@AlicePreece]

Omg isn’t Mamma Mia the best though? 😍 I’m so glad to hear that - I can’t wait to get to Sheffield now! It sounds like a great city 🙌

[@EllaMaexo]

Alice Preece it is!! And Sheffield is a lovely city you’ll have the best time! Congrats for getting in! 👏

[@sophie_ashworth]

How did you stay motivated when revising? Any tips? X

[@AlicePreece]

The revision app forest is a LIFESAVER! It stops you being able to procrastinate on your phone, but also gives you a sense of success when you grow a tree!

[@leahblxck]

Nearly 4 years later and I can’t lie seeing this is literally how I’m feeling so hopefully i get a good surprise but feeling so negative for it 😂😭

[@izzyyh5]

omg my results day is in 2 weeks and 2 days and I want to go to Sheffield too!!!!

[@eleanorscarlett9476]

Oh my GOD! I just saw your haul video and loved it, then just watched this! I'm going to Uni of Sheffield too!!! oh my God you're so cute!

[@AlicePreece]

Ah yay so glad you liked it! Maybe see you in Sheffers then?!

[@eleanorscarlett9476]

[@jemnotjam]

[@fayegilroy9060]

Honestly you’re sooo funny

[@adamasartislife2943]

Congrats!!!!!!!

[@vmcnamara2391]

Can't really hear much - what were your grades?

[@AlicePreece]

haha I was talking quietly so I didn't wake everyone up! Adjusting the volume would have just meant very loud white noise! I got A*AA. I show the results on camera later in the video :)

[@emma.od_]

I have no idea what any of these abbreviations are 😂 i live in Ireland and we have a different system for uni. And there are different exam boards?

[@AlicePreece]

Ah no! Which abbreviations do you mean? I'll try and translate if I know which ones you haven't heard of haha! There are different exam boards for A-Levels yes. I was on WJEC (a welsh board) and AQA (the main board for most subjects) 👌

[@emma.od_]

Alice Preece no no no it’s ok 😂 I just find it interesting the difference between the education systems in different countries. And well done btw on your results and for getting into the uni you wanted

[@AlicePreece]

Emma O'D. Thank you! Honestly I’m horribly ignorant to other education systems - as much as I try I can’t get my head around the other systems (even the Scottish one lol)😂🙈

[@sashathepenguin1786]

Not relevant but I love your top xx
