Year 12 Advice for all A*'s (what I wish I knew) | A Levels

[@samielsir]

I'm going into year 12 this year and to be honest don't feel like I know what I'm doing 😅. I'm not even half way through the video and it has already been helpful! Wish you the best this year bro❤❤❤

how'd it go?? any other tips you'd add?

[@dyln.3324]

Is there any advice you would give to someone starting in a couple days that you wish you had when you started?

[@lolawozniak5253]

I've just had the first 2 days of year 12 and I feel so gutted, like I have no friends and am the only one having a bad time, and we can't even leave the school site so I cannot get a break from it all. Thank you for the video and reminding me to focus on grades and just get through the next 2 years.

[@moarmy4375]

Going into Year 13 next Wednesday, it feels unreal! I remember in Year 7 wondering what the hell I was going to do for GCSEs let alone A Level and now as I approach the end of this journey and transition into adulthood I won't lie I'm scared af. So for any students out there that might feel alone in this, know that you're not! We're all on this journey together, even though some of us are at different stages and some of us have a dream whilst others don't. It's ok not to have a dream right now, heck I've probably changed what I wanted to do with my life ten times already and even now I'm still unsure. Year 12 was a ride, but no matter what I think to myself, we just have to keep pushing forward and putting one foot in front of the other, even if we're walking into the mist of uncertainty. Because no matter what, we'll make it out the other side. Good luck guys! Fighting!

[@lcfcsince2016]

Cheers mate 😄👌

[@aileenaneto9031]

Genuine question! Can you go to year 12 without GCSEs

[@tanirsethu5662]

@@aileenaneto9031 depends if you get in to your chosen school or not. Since a levels are much harder many schools require high grades to get in

[@aileenaneto9031]

@@tanirsethu5662 oh. So what you're saying is, some schools don't need them?

[@tanirsethu5662]

@@aileenaneto9031 most schools need them but if some don't have them then you can always move to another school which does have a sixth form. But it's very unlikely a secondary school doesn't have its own sixth form

[@quiquegamer5560]

Thanks for the advice, and I don’t have so much time to study outside from school mainly because i play football and have to do some rehabilitation bc im coming from an ACL injury. But i guess that’ll need to sacrifice the time that i spend on the PS5 and gather the willpower to do some revision, that even though im revising everyday i feel that im falling behind in some if my a level subjects. I know that no one is going to reed this, but if have then just a reminder that you are a queen/king and gl on your A-level/GCSE/Uni

[@midzzay]

Gl to u too. U got this

[@perseus1871]

the timing couldn't be more perfect

[@just_tammy]

I am in my first year of A levels and i have to agree with most of what you've said in terms of revising from day 1 and hobbies. l can not stress that balance enough. In as much as you want to work hard, working hard should not equal to burn out. Remember you have a life outside of school and enjoy the journey even with all its hardships.

[@justsomeone5660]

[@just_tammy]

@@justsomeone5660 there are many resources out there, you don’t need to try all of them. Think about how some subjects are easier to learn than others and why. Knowing how you specifically learn stuff helps you in choosing the right learning techniques. I also recommend watch Justin Sung’s videos, he is a study coach with a lot of great insights on learning.

[@thembilove]

Thanks for videos bro, your advice has been super helpful. I first heard of Anki flashcards from you, and they carried me through GCSEs, ended up with all 8s and 9s😭😭❤️ Wishing you all the best this year!

[@failedorgan8747]

for me I found it easiest to get through all my content before the end of year 12. This meant I had a whole year of revision to solidify that content, and it meant I still had a life in year 13

[@midzzay]

How did u get through all content before? What resource helped you the most?

[@failedorgan8747]

@midzzay I did edexcel maths, those textbooks had everything I needed for content. Aside from that, TLMaths, physics online and science shorts are good youtubers for maths and physics, and physics and maths tutor is a good site for exam practice in stem subjects

[@davids.05]

Hey Udoka, it’s good to have you back with the tips and tricks, man. I have recently started Year 12 and I think I am ready to commit to and take on the pressure of studying and focusing in order to achieve the top grades.

[@izzysmith4353]

I’m starting year 12 on Tuesday and I feel somewhat prepared. That is probably helped by the fact I’m going to the sixth form that is part of my secondary school and I will have some of the same teachers. This video has really helpful advice and I definitely need to stay on top of my work as I’m taking maths, further maths physics and computer science which will definitely be tough but my fm class only has 4 people in and the other classes are small so it will be nice.

[@manaalaw-abdi5665]

I’m doing the same combo. Kinda scared for the workload.

[@izzysmith4353]

@@manaalaw-abdi5665 I think that the workload should be fine as long as we use our frees well. I plan to make my revision notes/flashcards as soon as I can always look through them when I have time. As most people only take three a levels it will definitely be tough but it is also manageable if the work is completed as soon as it’s given out.

[@manaalaw-abdi5665]

@Izzy Smith I will try to do that. May I ask you how you plan to revise each subject? I'm struggling finding revision plans. How many hours do you intend to revise each day? Do you know any good websites to learn from for all your subjects? Sorry I might be annoying you with all these questions.

[@izzysmith4353]

@@manaalaw-abdi5665 it’s fine I don’t mind answering questions. For revision I just plan to make notes in lesson and then in frees I’ll neaten them up and create/go over flashcards as well as answering past paper questions as I’ve found that helpful in the past. In terms of time I’ll just use frees and if I feel like it’s necessary maybe a max of 2 hours at home(not sure how realistic that is but I aim to do as much of my revision within the school day). Physicsandmaths tutor is good for questions I believe for all of the subjects your taking (there are also notes and other resources but from memory the quantity can vary depending on subject) but I don’t know any websites to learn from and I’ll probably just buy textbooks for my subjects at some point.

[@manaalaw-abdi5665]

Love the Minecraft music at the end there. Also, I've just begun Year 12 but am still in induction until September 12th. I'm doing physics, maths, further maths and chemistry and I'm already creating flashcards for A level physics and will start to do the same for chemistry and maths as well since its by far one of the most effective revision methods in my opinion as it got me 9s in geography, spanish and all three sciences at GCSE and got me a 7 in RE.
