People do need to seriously realise that it’s not too late!! It’s not the length of time, it’s the strength of your will and mind! Ended up with A*A*AA because of your motivation to do the mosttttt - I only wish that people take heed of your advice ❤️

YOU 👏🏼ARE 👏🏼INCREDIBLE👏🏼

yes yes YESSSS Ibz you're an inspiration!! 👏 (and waheyyy NCS twins!! Unstoppable QUEEEN) x

I feel you Ibz! I'm from the endz too! North London brap brap! I went to college as a single mum with a toddler, did 3 voluntary jobs, and re-sat my GCSE English exam with no family support. The teachers didn't think I was even going to make it through college because I wasn't a traditional student. Only one of my teachers actually believed in me. I was predicted to fail and I actually got one of the top grades in my class, and passed my re-sit too. It was hard, there were times when I didn't sleep, times where I had to put my child first and take a break, and almost dropped out in the first year, but I did it, and I'm proud! I didn't end up at Oxbridge or EXIT-HERRRR, but I did end up at a Russell Group university. I felt the same way about UCL as you did about Exeter, but I was messed about by "UC-heLLLL" in a similar way that you did with Exeter. I went through the same b/s when I arrived at university, being a non-traditional student ((reh tear tear)). After a couple of years of study there, I had to take another break from education b/c life gets in the way sometimes. But I'm don't worry fam, I'm returning to uni in September '18 to bring them my seasoning and finish!

I went from an E to an A in English Literature. It can be done if you have the will and desire to put the work and effort in.

Sometimes the biggest barrier we have is OURSELVES. You're so right Ibz people get too caught up on the timing of their success. It happens when it's meant to happen and when you're in the right emotional space to appreciate it and pay it forward into the life that you want.

YESSS!! THIS IS ME! Teachers told me I was going to fail at GCSE, and did I prove them wrong. I am now sat here watching this with a 1st Class Law Degree doing my LPC.

"... and I was like 'Girl, do you hear yourself?'" oh my gosh, yes, ibz, this is so important to stop negative thoughts, I'm still learning to do that, thank you!

everytime i revise i always have your videos playing in the background not only for background noise (loool i cant study in silence) but idk i believe your words would eventually affect my subconscious mind (in a good way) and lead me to getting good grades. it's almost like your videos are subliminals

Thanks for making this Video Ibz! Okay so I blitzed my GCSEs a few years ago and there were expectations for me to do really well at A-Level and apply to Cambridge for Vet Med, but it didn't quite work out like that aha. Even if your A-levels don't go to plan, It's not the end of the world!!! I ended up studying Biological science for my undergrad, and actually not getting the grade in chemistry was actually the BEST thing for me. I later realised that Vet Med was DEFINITELY not for me, and I would have dropped out. I graduated with a 2:1 in Biology last year, and am now doing an MSc in Physiotherapy at Southampton University, which I absolutely LOVE :) A wise man once said "There are many roads that lead to Rome".

Yeah went from ABD in AS to A*A*A* it's always possible

I went from EEU in AS year to AAB in yr 13, you can turn it around man!

I’ve done the exact same thing as Ibz. I failed my AS levels at one college due to family and money issues and I moved to a different college and I’m currently doing my 3rd year of Alevels. And I just want to thank you personally Ibz. I didn’t have anyone to support me when I failed, but your videos helped and still help me to motivate myself and I can’t wait to prove myself this year in A2! Thankyou Ibz you’re my inspiration!

Honestly Ibz, this crow that was representing Leeds university at my careers fair tried to insinuate that I won't be able to get A*AA to do Law at my choices of Russel Group Uni's because I'm black. I have been down so lately because of it and this video has really given me the motivation I need to study harder and to do more to get those grades I need. Thank you so much.

legit you probably need 4 weeks of smart work and youre gold

Yo Ibz I needed this inspo, I’m currently revising for exams and now I feel like I’m not gonna fail 💕 ilysm 💕

Ibz you are a saviour , I'm legit sat in college rn crying because I don't think I'll get the English grades stressing out thinking how I'm going to improve in such a short time then BOOM ibz uploads this videos and my prayers are quite literally answered thankyou !! 💖😩

When I'm feeling unmotivated, I always ask this, I call it the WHW System: Why am I in this current position? How did I get here? What am I striving for? This has helped me to self-motivate and become more grateful. Gratitude these days is rarely acknowledge, however, it's a key-part of fulfillment. Don't be the obsequious fool, trying so hard to receive admiration from others, because I can tell you that's not going to work for you in the long run. I know this is going to sound selfish, but please do things for yourself in order to fill self-fufilled... or do what I take my hand at becoming the obsequious fool... the choice is yours.

It's a wonderful video (obviously) and I'm glad to see many fantastic success stories in the comments, but can I just say that A-levels are not the most important thing in your life. I was working my ass off and genuinely worked for A*A*A*, but missed my AAB offer. I went to a RG uni and first thing they told me was "oh... you're lucky to be here". Fast-forward few months and not only I'm getting 1st and 2:1s, but also managing to get involved into great opportunities THANKS TO MY HOBBIES. Meanwhile, a lot of straight A* students fail to get a job. So please - DO focus on your education. DO try your best. But DON'T forget about your interests outside of school, they are way more important than your grades when it comes to applications. Heads up to everyone and please can someone teach me how to make good curry xx

A levels suck 😭

This vid just made my Easter 👏 gonna 👏 get 👏 those 👏A*s👏

It's actually so mad how much I relate to you. I'm labelled constantly and seeing someone who had similar labels excell so much makes me want to work so hard. I need to prove everyone wrong and break away from those labels. I also no longer let my background hold me back. Genuinely you have no idea how much you've helped me out, both academically and mentally. Thankyou so much

I’m sitting here... at my desk... with a pen in hand and staring at the wall, revising for my GCSE’s. What for? I only asked myself that question after watching this, and now, I can list the reasons on WHY I need to put the effort in, and damn it helps to ask yourself that question. I’ve never been anywhere near the top of my classes, but that DOESN’T MATTER because it doesn’t mean ANYTHING. As you say, we need to set our OWN limits and don’t let the people who are above us look down on us. Thank you IBZ 🙌🏼💗

I really just paused revision just to watch this 😭❤️

this may sound weird but your lips seem so moisturised like wow

Fam... I needed this.

We love you too Ibz...and about crying over your nov trials. i did too. i got really good gcses but i couldnt get to grips with a levels and ened up getting Us & Es...im still straggling along with Es and Ds - everyones lost faith in me but i myself havent. I will get As and A*. I will go to a top uni. because im determined and confident in myself.

I acc just went for a NCS assessment yesterday to work as a Senior Mentor bc I feel so passionate about mental health and inspiring the youth! Fingers crossed I get it🤞🏽💙

Yess Ibzzzz, come throughhhh (with another video!) Perfect timing man, thank you!! I have my a levels this summer and my mocks my / the first day back after the holidays 🤔🙈😭👀😷👌🤦👿

Recently went up from an E to a B in my yr 12 bio tests and my teacher legit confronted me thinking I was cheating. I have never been more motivated in my LIFE to prove her wrong- so come mocks watch that B turn into an A bitchhh 💪🏾

Stopped my revision to watch this.👏👏 I'm so behind😭😭

yesss Ibz!! There are some real enemies of progress out there but you are a prime example of how to battle your way through, stay in your lane and do what you have to do get what you want to get. I really understand the struggle and you continue to inspire me - Thank you so much xx

Honestly bro you have no idea how much you changed my academic life. Coming from a similar background to yours really makes me resonate with this. I will get 3 A*s. Thank you bro

ibz i was feeling really down before because i want to go to cambridge (im in year 12) but at the same time i’m so scared that i won’t get the predicted grades to even apply. i have the worst case of self sabotage like it’s actually abit too much at time,, but this video helped me just put things into perspective. i’m going to make the most of these holidays and werk werk werk!! so thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Your A level Sociology videos are so helpful. I got a high B in my AS exams, and I'm aiming for an A/A* in my A Levels. I just have one more A level CIE Left - sociology Paper 3. I'm starting to work Really hard for it. With enough hard work, i think I will be able to achieve an A/A* not only in Sociology, but in my 3 other subjects. So overall, I'm aiming for 4As / 4A*'s. It's important to be confident, so I'm working hard and telling myself I can do it, because honestly? I can. And I will 📚📖✍🏼 Thank you, ibz!

Whoop! Okkay I got motivation back! A levels are killing me and making me confused with life and what I want... and if I'm even capable to get A in all my subjects. And so I keep losing motivation because the whole idea of how much work I have to do is really dauting. I'll keep watching this whenever I lose motivation again! THANK YOUU!! 😁❤ Update: I'm about to study soo I'm back again for that dosage of motivation! If nothing works then I'll just make this video my medicine! Soo watch your view count continue to increase until I never need to do work again in my life (if that day comes)😂💖💖

This is amazing! Honestly needed a reminder like this! Thank youuuu Ibz!!! You’re so inspiring!!🙇🏽‍♀️🧠💜

Your speech really hit me in the heart. Love you so much Ibz ❤️

From the moment you started talking I knew that I wanted to listen and your so real for this I find it very inspiring thank you, God bless!

so what ur saying is i can move my grade C to an A* I actually didn't even know that was possible cause of the whole grading system

I am in year 12 and I got today 3 D's :/ Edit 5 months later... I got 2 C's and 1 D... There is still a hope

When I think of someone doing physchology English and sociology I think of either a girl or a super zesty guy and this really fits that stereotype

The way I’m so demotivated for my alevels rn coz I did so bad I watch these and feel slight motivation and I just wanna get a BBB😭😭

Thanks for this video. I'm in the IB program and I keep doubting myself because at times I feel like this program is not for me since I did not do well in my GCSEs which is different where I live. And I have no other alternative than to stay in the program. But the fact that u went from DDD to AAA has truly given me motivation. I've been watching all kinds of vids saying that if "you werent smart during those GCSE days then you wont be smart in IB" as it is for only naturally intelligent people but idk

"Come in year 7, 10, 11 I didn't care if people said I will get Ds" That's pretty much me now and I am in the first year of A levels!

I literally needed this so much right now. You're literally a godsend Ibz. You're so inspirational and I just wanted to say THANK YOU!

Oh my god, you are amazing. I had been struggling these past weeks to get myself together especially after I got into a relationship with my, now-boyfriend, I’ve only been spending time with him and throwing my studies to a side, not thinking straight or about my academic needs. This video came up in my suggested and I honestly cannot be more thankful, it has motivated me to get through my studying/revision and create a boundary with my boyfriend to let him know my studies is not an option but a priority. Thank you for your motivational words Ibz, definitely a new and happy subscriber right here. xx

Ily thank you for this motivational video, put me back on my feet for studying for A2

This is the best thing that I have ever seen! I know this truly came from your heart and whenever I feel unmotivated I will just watch this video again...... Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!

Smash the expectations.

I moved from my country to London last year and even though I was successful in my old school, because it was a new language and subjects everyone expected me to fail my GCSEs. My parents just assumed I wouldn’t pass English in the first take, and if I passed anything at all it would be with 4-5’s. But I’m in year 11 this year and I came out of my mocks with 2 9s, 3 8s, 4 7s and 2 6s! If you aim to be successful there is nothing that can stop you!

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH for this honestly; and thank you for acknowledging the financial and family struggles impacting your education too x

Fills me with so much joy listening to your progress. Break all the limits Ibz. Lyt.

i had BDE in my AS German, Physics and Maths (respectively) and it absolutely crushed me, I literally have lost all motivation to do well so this was helpful! My absolute goal for the end of this year would be ACC to be honest

You are soo relatable. I hope my three Cs at AS can turn into three As at A level. Psychology is killing me..

I find it so hard to actually get motivated and do work but just listening to this video has given me so much will power and hope that I can do well. Thank you so much Ibz ❤️❤️ I’ll listen to this on repeat while revising 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

THANK YOU IBZ MO! Honestly, I needed this so much. I am unstoppable and I’m going to work so hard for the next 62 days left before my exams !

Endless love for you ❤️ you bring hope, motivation and happiness to so many people just like you who feel like they're trapped in a box, you're showing us that there's a way out and that it can be done and I'm so grateful, keep breaking those walls down and good luck with ur finals xxx

Every time I feel down about studies I love watching your channel. As I too have such a bad education. You inspired me do much. You are one of the reason I continue. I passed my maths functional skills and doing great in Btec level 1 science

i laughed, cried, but mostly felt incredibly motivated and empowered by this! you're a whole legend

Legit needed this. So glad I came straight to your channel I have no one who believes that I can achieve the best. Now I have hope that I'll be the first person to get past GCSE in my family. You're a great source of motivation ibz especially during my "studying season" thank you ssoooo much for this.❤

This video couldn’t have come at a better time. Thank you 😭😭😭

THIS SHIT IS MOTIVATING ASF! First video I have watched of yours and what a way to start! I'm obsessed! You're amazing ❤

Na because I LIVE AND BREATHE to hear that ‘LIIIISTENNNN’ at the beginning of these videos😭😭come thru ibz x

I got ACD in my mocks, my predicted is BBC but the uni want to go to (Nottingham) offered me ABB. Not sure whether firming would be the best choice for me but I really wanna go there.

Loving the consistency Ibz!

yes yes yes! Needed this

I used to think everyone in top colleges/universities are always people who are stressed, grumpy, or nerds but you changed it all... thank you so much. you are the first person to prove me wrong and i hope to see more people like you :-)

I am 3 years late to watch this video, but I am just speechless at how inspired it's left me. What a timeless video!

SLAY IT. I'm so ready to smash my A Levels up!! THANK YOU IBZ!

Thank you. I needed this. I bloody love you I swear. My A Levels are sooo soon, I need A*AB for the uni I want to go...my subjects are Maths, Further Maths and Psychology (I am convinced I am going to fail Psychology, I really struggle with this new spec!) im going to come back here in August and let you know how I did. 🤭😭💘

A little late to say this but the blonde hair suits you so well

Oh my god thank you. I have people around me always making me feel like I am stupid. Thank you for this. This is my new word, unstoppable. Thank you for this

>few weeks before GCSEs sat here doing 8 hours a day ***sad times***.

I had a 65 on my chemistry and I realised that I had enough time. The semester is almost over and I have a 89. There is always time my mum said.

Omg!!!! Bruh i really needed this 😭 thank u SO MUCH IBZ ❤️❤️

To anyone watching this video, never let others put you down. Everyone has talent in something, if you work hard and have passion for your subject, you will surely succeed! The same goes for anything in life really; getting your first job, going for promotion, pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. You can do it if you really want to achieve it.

Honestly, thank you for this as I needed this Ibz! All the love and hugs your way 🤗💕

I love you IBZZ, I have gcses in a month and I just got into my dream college. I can do it and that is all thanks to you man. I have been watching you since I was in year10. I love you ibz. I LOVE YOU WE ALL DO PLEASE NEVER STOP :)

Thank you ibz, I'm getting ds and es now and people are saying that its hard to go up TWO grades, I've been thinking this exact thing and you've proved it.

Love that I got this notification as I was updating my revision timetable for this half term! Also, so glad to hear you’re happy!!!!!

10 seconds into an Ibz video just revitalises me, I don't get it. Your liveliness is just infectious omg I love it

Yo dude I'm really loving your channel. I'm about to move to England on the 5th of october, I'll start gaining some money by working and then my objective is to study computer science and software engeneering, you really are an insiration to me in this very moment.

Used your revision and organisation tips for over a year and safe to say it's paying off. Thank you.

Omfgg I was acc have a mental breakdown !!! I NEEDED this 😭😭😭

YOU ARE A F*CKING FOUNTAIN OF INSPIRATION.... you’re one of the few KZfaq’s that make motivate remind me go harder at the A Levels I do. I appreciate you for that Ibz💕🙏🏽

I LOVE YOU IBZ, thank you for your upliftment 💞

I'm resisting A2 maths this year and I'm currently working towards an A after getting a C last year. Ibz your story and your motivation has honestly helped me so much just to focus and work hard and just get to where I want to be so thankyou :)
