[@rollcallishere]

So doing an EPQ might not lower your offer but doing one was the single most useful thing I did to prepare myself for uni (way more useful than my three a levels combined) so I would 100% recommend doing one if you are able to fit it in Context: I studied geography, English lit and history at a level (A*AA), got an A* in my EPQ and now midway through a history degree at Edinburgh university

[@annieakhter3093]

rollcallishere I'm sorry if this is a bother, but I've aspired to go Edinburgh since forever! how difficult was it to get in? what else did you have in your UCAS? do you think doing the EPQ helped you get into uni?

GCSE to AS is a huge jump, but AS to A level is an even bigger one, so just hold onto your hats cos you're in for a bumpy ride

[@petermcclure12]

this was really helpful - going into year 13 (lower sixth) and I think the point you made about making notes when going along will be vital for Bio and Geog! for French and German I think it's just a case of trying to grasp as much vocab as possible and put things into practice where possible :)

[@mh9577]

petermcclure12 lower sixth is Y12

[@petermcclure12]

I'm from Northern Ireland! Here, our secondary schools run from Yr 8-14, so our GCSEs are Yr 11-12 and A Levels Yr 13-14 :)

[@mh9577]

petermcclure12 oh ok I'm thinking in English terms so we have it one year lower :)

[@petermcclure12]

yeah I know! i think it's weird the way we have different schooling systems haha, makes it hard to explain to someone not from NI and vice versa!

I don't have a choice but to move to a new school in September only because my high school doesn't have a sixth form 😂but the sixth form I'm going to is the one closest to me and it allows me to do the subjects I want which is good! Most of my friends are going to different sixth forms from me so I hope I make new friends quickly!

[@ericadownes7530]

That is the same as me!

[@millielbunting]

Lucy Cole awh thanks that's really encouraging! I had an induction day a few weeks ago and I met some people who are also going to the sixth form and some of the people in my taster lessons seemed nice! I think it's daunting because most of them are staying there from high school so they've already made close friends with each other so it'll take time but hopefully it will turn out good! 😊

[@simrangill3693]

Same here but the difference is that it takes 30 minutes by bus to get there and all my friends go the same sixth form than me!

[@charlottemcclay8568]

It’s late but you will bond with people over the fact that you are on the verge of a mental breakdown

[@rachelhorne2553]

Just so you know the jump from AS to A2 is huge, you'll notice it in exam season! I started revising for AS in December for mocks and it worked great but for A2 it is worthwhile making notes from September because the amount of work you're expected to do is insane!

these videos are a life saver! PLEASE KEEP UPLOADING THEM!

[@poppyrendall847]

If anyone wants to do an EPQ in 2nd year of college (year 13) and wants to do a science (chemistry, physics, maths) at uni, please do it! They're amazing to speak about in your personal statement and further at interviews, they show the uni that you're interested in a specific area of research (plus they help with learning how to research, cite and condense information). The skills are transferable to writing lab reports, essays and your dissertation (if you do a masters or PhD). I did chemistry, biology, maths and an EPQ about phthalates, and ended up with an A*AAB. Most unis wont lower grades or count it, but they do count it in terms of UCAS points. It is manageable even when I had a maths and a chemistry research project too.

This was so useful because I'm starting sixth form in September, doing English lit, French, modern history and fine art so your advice for English lit and languages was so helpful! Although I feel like it will be a big jump for me because my high school doesn't have a sixth form so I'm going to a college further away and it's so much bigger and different than high school! X

[@xoxo-ge9nx]

Hey Eve, please if you can, make a video showing your organisation for your subjects (folders etc) or how you make notes. When people say 'revise' I really struggle because I don't know what type of revision is effective or how to learn things I find boring, reading over notes doesn't seem effective enough. If you could make a video on your revision techniques that'd be amazing! Love your videos, you inspire me so much. Thank you.

[@beautybabyxo1841]

Why am I watching this even though I'm in my last year of A Levels??? Because I love this account!

[@naomicarter6261]

So helpful Eve! A few questions I have are, how can you try to connect more with people in different year groups and friendship groups to you? And how did you make notes in class - especially for politics and languages? - Would you write down all the concepts even if you were going to make notes on them, or only select certain bits to write down - how would ypu choose what to write down? Great video x

How does the first year of sixth form compare with year 11 ?? Xxx

[@RandomChips100]

it's like being hit with a brick, makes you realise how easy y11 was :P

[@SuperMissy59]

Anna Not to scare you, but Year 11 was honestly heaven compared to Sixth Form. Of course, everyone is different but from my experience, the start of sixth form is the worst, the jump in terms of content is massive and often, your friendship group breaks up which all makes for a huge stress. The first term is definitely the hardest but does get better, by the end of college, I was very sad to leave but just prepare yourself that it is very different from school!!

[@nuuranal8989]

start making notes and revision cards from the beginning fo year or else you're fucked when exam times comes around. theres just so much content and its much more stressful and time consuming. i regret not making notes from the beginning of the year, when exam season came i was stressed but im good at revising the week or night before so i got good results. gcse are a cake , i miss it.

[@_rebecca_h9254]

It's honestly not that bad as long as you work consistently hard, you feel like you're getting nowhere most of the year then it kind of all clicks in the end and its fine. Year 11 was easier but sixth form is manageable, I guess it depends on your subjects though.

[@temsii_]

Natalie :) it's STRESSSS!! Revise efficiently but also take time out for YOU xx

[@lauramaycaulfieldmartinez6889]

Would you recommend using 1 folder for school with dividers for each subject, having 4 other separate folders at home and emptying the day folder everyday for a smaller load to carry?

[@natasham4184]

My school gave me 'summer work' for each of my subjects to do over the holidays to prepare for sixth form... 😑 But, I guess it's quite a manageable amount and if I put some effort into it, it'll hopefully give me some confidence for the start of next year. 💙

[@lauren3409]

I'd also say get revision guides once you know which exam boards your subjects are on ☺️ xx

[@marihus]

In year 10 focus on more learning the subject than heavy revision,make sure you know 100% what you learn in class,litterally this is the last year of learning and what you learn in year ten is the content for your exams,yr11 is essentially going over what you do in year10 and no learning
