As if your doing the same haha!! I like my subjects especially sociology it’s interesting to learn about, business is very similar to gcse if you did it at gcse and english is a lot to remember especially all the different theories x

i’m doing these a levels also!! I did a year at college doing a course i hated so now i’m going to do a levels cos i feel like it gives me more options for the future. i’m scared though for all the work LMAO

@@lollol-go3ff it is intense and a lot of work but if your doing subjects you enjoy then you won’t mind revising xx

@@gemmagracefowler yeah i guess, what do you wanna do in the future? you plan on going uni? xx

@@lollol-go3ff yes I want to go to Manchester uni to study film/media and hopefully get a job in the bbc/itv studios x

i know!!x

More like you’re the lucky one my sixth form still has uniform😫

@@user-qp6ts2dp5g prolly cuz no stressing abt outfits everyday

I know so lucky! some formal clothes are so uncomfortable to be in after half a day of school. It would be easier to go in with our own comfy clothes as it would be more comfortable to work in. xx

@@user-qp6ts2dp5g ahh same, I literally have to wear all black and we’re not even allowed to take our blazers off unless it’s hot

are u american

yeah we have assemblys but only with year 12 and 13 so not bad at all xx good luck in september

@@gemmagracefowler ahh okay, thank u xx

Aha thank you! Feel like I’m a different person now this video was filmed ages ago

thank u xx

Same

how did it go? x

How was it

thank you !!!!

thank you xx

i'm taking the same in september, just english lit instead of sociology !! good luck 😁

Ahaa thank you ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Flares are topshop xx I love sociology it is so fun to learn about you will really enjoy it if your into feminism and patriarchy x I don’t enjoy English as much as I find it very hard to write and answer questions, with English you have to write in a specific form else you don’t gain marks so if you have the technique then you will love it x

Same

Same Good luck everyone 🤞

at my sixth form the dress code is very casual x you can wear anything accept from crop tops, ripped jeans or very strappy tops pretty much x

i’m also starting sixth form in september! and just thought i should say that my “dress code” is the EXACT same as hers, so yours should be similar

It usually specifies more if you check online or you can always drop the sixth head an email and they'll clear it up

I have a full ass uniform to wear. We have to wear blazers shirts and ties 😭

@@gemmagracefowler the only dress code at my college is no offensive images or writing, we can pretty much wear anything

It’s a lot at once especially if your joining an external sixth form! The teachers will always support you and if it’s too much all at once for you they will be there to help x

@@gemmagracefowler thanks I had a more in depth tour around today and feel a lot less nervous :) x

Don't worry lots of people are probably feeling nervous as well. If you feel it would help you could try speaking in front of a mirror or about your favourite topic to others. Don't fear silences and remember others are all in the same position. In the end you will need to take a deep breath and speak if your are called on to speak, probably not for that long tho unless this was part of your enrolment assignment. Don't worry icereakers are for people to get to know you, not judge you on the subject you are taking. But if you. Really don't want to and you know your school does them, talk to your teacher or someone else you trust about it I don't know if this would work for you, but good luck I'm sure it will be okay. and goodluck with all your future endeavours. Edit: I guess I'm the end they can't force you to speak, I hope this helps and if anyone below wants to correct me or add to me feel free to.

@@steam_jane5580 hey thanks for your reply :) turns out only one of my classes did an icebreaker kinda thing -- he called it speed dating lol. when it happened I was nervous about what I was gonna say but turns out I was absolutely fine :) they were all so nice

I Hope it wen't well. They are great fun and help with teamwork if you have projects to do together like in Business Studies where you may have to form a mini company. The Teachers can also see how Students react, who is dominant, who is quiet and how confident they have become by the time they leave School.

@@racheldemain1940 lol yeh i think it wwent well from what I can remember. starting sixth form again in a few days but ill be taking one subject from year 1, while my other two are year 2. kinda nervous, kinda not. I'm just gonna power through and try to make friends this year :)

Awh so glad you enjoyed !

I will!!

We had to help pupils in the lower school or we did work from the lesson we had just been at or prepare for the next lesson.

Same oml

I went to the sixth form I went to school at in year 11 so my friend group stayed the same x

Honestly I don’t have many tips other than past papers!!! Do loads and loads of past questions every time you finish a topic and you will be fine x

Hey. Good luck!

You starting today then? good luck hope all goes well :)

good luck i hope ur first few days went well! :D

How did it go? :) x

how was it omgg

same!! X

It is not for skiving or doing what you want, it is to help you develop independent learning for when you go to Uni and how you manage your time and make best use of research skills. Some schools like mine may have you helping in the lower school with Students who need help, all of which will help with Ucas forms so use the time wisely . Yes enjoy the free periods but be aware of the potential that you gain from using them wisely and show the Teachers that you can be trusted to do this.

ugh sameee

depending on how many subjects you take and the organisation system you use (day folder or individuals) you could get away with a tote bag. However if you take more than three subjects I'd recommend a backpack ( I do 5 subjects at A level and use the large Kanken bag)

@@Katie-be3wc how do u do 5 ??😩

It depends on the school. They seem to get stricter when they become Academies. I am glad i was at my school before it happened. They did pepper our free Periods through the day so we couldn't go home, to be honest i couldn't be bothered to go home when we discovered the Coffee Machine did good hot chocolate!!. There was a little row of shops near the school that we could go to that had a co-op and a newsagent so we went there for a walk as much as anything. We could wear what we liked but no jeans or trainers.

Yes I will !!!

@@gemmagracefowler omg I’m so excited

its so much stress!

They are good with transitioning you into year 12 style workload so they don't overwhelm you don't worry! For teachers, make sure you're a model student for the first few months and then they are more likely to be lenient with you later in the year

@@Katie-be3wc ok thank you. And yeah I mean I have been a “model student” for 12 years of school lol (well maybe not reception- year 2. But like year 3 on wards). And History and English have always been my fave subjects (as well as law being an interest for ages)- should be fine but new environments are scary. Though i’m also super excited.

@@Meg_intheclouds how have your a levels gone?

@@Sami_ama omg hi, I love them sm, have 1 year left. Already done some mocks for The end of last year and get the results back next week so we will see

@@Meg_intheclouds im so glad! Hope the rest of the year goes wonders for you! Im starting year 12 this year, any tips for the start?

Do you mean text books because I am starting back soon and I don't have them yet. But that should be fine as long as you have done any enrolment assignment you have been given and have or are given the relivence equipment for your comming lessons (pens, ID, planner ect). At least I hope so. Good luck with sixthform and all your future endeavours.

I'd recommend waiting and seeing what the teachers offer. They normally have online versions or deals to get them cheaper!

Did you take it as gcse? If so it is quite similar other than the fact you have higher mark questions and there’s a few added topics xx I enjoy business but it’s not my favourite

I am not taking it. But I always recommend taking the subjects you are interested in with a nod to what you want to do in the future. What other subjects are you taking or thinking of taking? Anyway good luck with sixthform and all your future endeavours.

Yes x

To be honest no, the transition work is mainly getting to know the subject and key terms you need to know!

Usually are about an 1 - 1:30 roughly in sixth forms

its not that fun in sixth form i promise!x

@@gemmagracefowler not that fun? im going sf in september

@@rageduh9701 lmaoo same

It is fun but it’s just sooo much work x

@@gemmagracefowler Prepare you for Uni and the big wide world out there!!

Past questions!! Do so so so many past questions and learn the exam technique, don’t focus too much on the content and focus on the spec and how to write! Learn key terms and the different language levels and you will be fine

topshop x

@@gemmagracefowler do you know what the name was ? x
