The 'whole of the topic in … minutes' videos DO NOT comprehensively cover everything you need to know for your exams. It would be impossible to include 2 years of teaching in 1 hour. These should NOT be your only source of revision • Do the 'whole topic in... My exam predictions are just GUESSES!! I don't have any insider knowledge just years of looking at exam papers.

Don't just choose an A-Level because of the trips? lmao couldn't even afford them anyways

[@Emily-ty9rz]

It's extremely difficult to pick a subject if you hate it because of the teacher, because you just can't tell if you'd enjoy it. I think teachers are the most important thing so on the other hand, don't pick a subject if the teacher is useless

[@Primrose_Kitten]

At A-level you generally get 2 teachers, and you might not get the teacher you dislike.

[@destiny-powerhouse3260]

I strongly agree with you.

[@annieen3884]

Please do a video for year 10's! How to revise for mocks and manage time etc!! I requested this before also but haven't seen it go up ! :(

[@nafstudies8648]

I chose geography, French and history in GCSE for the trips and we only went on 1 trip with history which was to a church down the road... I still enjoyed the subjects though

[@Primrose_Kitten]

+mini dwarfdude oh no!!

[@champion171299]

Lord Shaxx, Crucible Handler Nice handle!

[@sorchabergin6592]

lol I understand the trip thing because last year I picked Geography for GCSE because of course, I liked it but I was also excited because geography have a trip each year and my year it was supposed to be going to Iceland which I was so excited about, and the trips are a big deal in our school of course lmao plus, my sister would always talk about how great her trip was and then I found a couple of months ago the trip was canceled because my teacher didn't want to leave her young child at home, so moral of the story don't rely on school trips like I did because something could always happen 🙃

[@Primrose_Kitten]

+Sorcha Bergin 😥 oh no!!

[@OMMCOMHD]

I made a big mistake in my life by not picking History GCSE i loved History so so so much but didnt choose it due to the teachers. And guess what they both left😳

[@ameliamills3831]

Ahhh same! I really regret not doing history at GCSE! I so wish I could go back and change!

[@alicescott4628]

Personally I would consider choosing a subject based on the teachers as if you don't like the teacher it is highly likely that you would end up disliking the subject.

Hey Primrose I want to do Medicine at Uni so I have to do Biology, Chemistry, Psychology and sadly Maths though I didn't want to do it but then my teachers were like I wouldn't be allowed to to Medicine without Maths

Hey, what do you think about picking 3 A Levels, for next year that is with no AS Levels? I feel that Politics, Economics, and German are perfect for me, and some people think that if I will be content with that, then I should stick to 3, whereas on the other hand, I've heard that there is no point, plus my parents advise me to do Geography/Geology, which are two of my best subjects now, and I feel mediocre about. Thanks!

[@juliaminguez8435]

What did you end up doing? I want to do History Econmics German n politics

[@ameliamills3831]

Hiya, do you know what the difference is between A levels and Level 3 qualifications? My school offers wjec Level 3 food and nutrition, but I'm not to sure what it means eg is it easier/harder ect..? xx

Science and Maths by Primrose Kitten Great news, thanks.

[@owent6101]

I'm taking all the science because I enjoy them and get A/A* in all of them, but should i take Maths as well.? I get around A's in maths, but I don't like it as much as science.

[@Primrose_Kitten]

[@owent6101]
