anyone here from class of corona 2020 and are bored bc they’ve got 5 months of nothing so you’re preparing for college early lol
yea same i got three 9s in my mocks so i feel confident in getting into the sixth form i want but the predicted grades might be worse
Me too
It’s sad because we can’t go on ncs, leave the house or even meet family 😢
@@hy7994 true 😞
@@hy7994 u can do ncs in year 12...its a shorter program but they may make exceptions considering corona happened unexpectedly
I'm just gonna summarise everything she says for myself and u guys 😂
*So, what to do in the summer between yr 11 and yr 12* :
• Get work experience (any kind)
• Revise the basics of ur subject
• Have a look at uni's and options - u don't need to do this, but there's no harm in exploring ur options
• Try and prepare urself...E.g- stationary, clothes
• Have fun - Go to NCS, relax, go out, etc
lifesaver x
hard to do so during global lockdown
I mean this video was very much not made this year 😂it’s still possible to do most of these things
@@utility_gaming2059 yeh as said above u can still do them... do the 2nd, 3rd and 4th (online ofc) bullet points...
Tbh tho I'm in yr 12 and there's not much to it...just turn up and go with the flow 😂
so useful, thank you
Looking at this when corona is around got no gsec exams 🥺
Same
Samme😭
Same a year later
Well, I'm self isolated so I guess work experience isn't an option currently.
At least everyone in your age group is in the same boat!
am i the only one who had 5 extra weeks off... so my summer holidays is 11 weeks long as opposed to the usual 6
straywoojin i think everyone in y11 did 😂
yeah because of study leave and then you do the gcse’s and then after the exams summer starts
Rising Stars i didn’t have study leave though, my last exam was june 15th and i finished then
straywoojin yes but holidays didn’t include the study leave period because that period was for exams, and a holiday is normally after exams. If you finished on the 15th you had approx 5 weeks before the 6-7 week summer begins so you still have 11/12 weeks overall. I myself did have study leave and my last exam was on the 22nd, but I, like you, also have 11/12 weeks off. No more, no less 😉
laiba OHH i get you
my summer holiday was 4 weeks extra and i done nothing but waste money going out and eating LOL
Just wanted to reply to everyone all in one place about my internship. For everyone asking how I got it, honestly I just emailed in with my CV! I totally understand where you're coming from in wanting to know how I got it when I'm not in/studying that industry but it's all about being proactive and if you really want a seemingly "cool" job you have to go out and get it yourself. Big love xx
thanks x
U re well cute
I think between gcse and a level u should sleep 🥴🥴 I regret waking up at like 8 to go out for the whole day with friends
You're peng that's why
Omg I’m so scared for results day. My grades determine whether I go to the sixth form I want to go to or not
Tumblr Xxx same
Urgh same!!!
+Tumblr Xxx good luck!

@@Ounjai1575 I'm not too stressed
Just think everyone has to do it and people have done it before us so its gonna be fine
You should have just made a super short video and say that everyone should just make the most of the summer because once 6th form/college starts everything goes downhill from there.
Okay so I’ve just completely wasted my long summer....
+Abi McDonnell that's alright, good to relax too 😂
Sameee
Video starts at 2:31
Noo thank you so much for this and introducing me to the course website! I hadn’t even thought about doing something like that and seeing as I’ve just finished GCSEs and had a super long summer already I was getting bored lol. Deffo excited to try it out x
amazing! Hope you enjoy x
Work experience
Job
Read course (AS booklets to understand )
Look at universities
Once you've finished at vogue please film a video on your experience and how you got the internship xx
when you desperately want to get a job but don't turn 16 until near the end of summer...
Oh my gosh, I can relate !
That me too it's so sad
do you guys know if you still can if you just have a national insurance number?
Finally TH-cam are putting relevant, useful videos on my recommended coz for the past 3 weeks I’ve felt so useless after GCSEs
She’s so pretty 😭and great vid sis❤️
thank you lovely!
I did the nuffield placement over the summer in year 12 and it was such a great insight, but i didnt end up going into biomed😅😅 wish i'd seen this video before starting sixthform
loved this, so helpful. i’m about to go into sixth form and I am so nervous, especially as it’s results day on Thursday😂 I don’t know if it’s your style of video, but I need some outfit inspiration for sixth form as it’s quite formal and I have no idea what to wear!
+Nicole Wilson good luck with your results! I'll definitely think about that kind of video, maybe a haul!x
Noo Stenning thank you so much! that would be so helpful, thank you.. completely up to you though x
Lmao I am watching this 10 hours before my first day of sixth form, we stan a smart queen
+Lara Tareg 😂👏
Thank you so much! This video has really helped me plan out the rest of my summer :)
I AM SO GLAD YOU UPLOADED THIS NOO! I love you 💟💟
I was just thinking what a good idea it would be to get work experience and we have 6 months off before sixth form.. but then I remembered we are in quarantine
I’m sorry you guys can’t get work experience :( but if I’m honest it’s not even that necessary it’s more of a bonus/boost - extra reading, online lectures and courses are really good too x
Noo Stenning yeah, thankyou x
😭😭 late notification squad 😭😭 issues with having a job 😭😭 This video is a life saver honestly ❤️❤️ congrats on getting a Vogue internship!!!
Thank you lovely!x
My gcses are cancelled this year and I’m hoping I’ll get the grades for 6 form! I have a conditional offer so as long as I get my target grades I’ll get in, in so scared I won’t get them as I didn’t take mocks seriously :(
Good luck! X
I'm sure you'll do well
Noo Stenning thank you ❤️
S M thank you :)!
Fox Burton aww don’t worry me too! I’m supposed to pass almost everything apart from science (just under a pass ☹️) and maths, my worst subject! I got a 2 on my mock for it :( my worst memory associated with maths was in year 6 when we did a mock for SATs and I got pulled out of class only to be told I got 1/50 on the whole test and I was balling my eyes out! But good luck for the rest of results :) (I’m retaking maths too) oh and not to mention when in primary I tried to do maths homework and my mum would get very angry with me after explain the same thing multiple times and me still getting it wrong and she screamed at me and walked off and wouldn’t talk to me for rest of evening and when I tried to hide while she shouted at me I’d cry in the bathroom, dont worry she isn’t a bad person at all! She’s Ukrainian and I understand that’s just how she is coming from a relatively strict country I suppose. But she’s overall a lovely person and wouldn’t swap her for anyone else’s mum :) she understands my difficulty in maths ☺️
Wish I saw this before going into sixth form. Can we please have the going into Yr 13 video next coz at this moment in time I don't think these holidays are going well 😥
could you do a advice video on how to get a internship at vogue? xx
it's in my pinned comment :)
such a perfect video for me thank you! and wow congrats on your job that’s amazing 🧡
Thank you!
I had such a plan of treating myself after GCSE’s.,.. hmm didn’t quite go to plan
You cant write a cv though if you dont have work experience or your gcse grades yet.
Aliya Khatun-ali you write your predicted grades and then you write things that could be considered a job like babysitting. if you haven’t then don’t write it
We wrote a practise one just after GCSEs finished all the personality stuff can be filled in like a general overview of yourself and for now use predicted grades
+Aliya Khatun-ali that's not true, a CV is just a reflection of you and your achievements. So unless you've had no hobbies/skills/successes in the last few years you can most certainly write one, it just won't be as full as someone who has grades and a job x
already have and got a job
Your Girl Aliya I did in yr10 and got work experience. You just talk about your predicted grades, hobbies and achievements
Thanks for this video Noo ❤ I really needed this. Going into sixth form in September.

Also could you maybe do an advice video on personal statements I'm so scared to write mine 😥❤
I have one already! Check the playlist x
I needed this! I’m moving back to england after living in tbe philippines for four years. There, we finish school in april, and sixth form starts in september. Imagjne how long that summer will be for me this year! Very helpful❤️
Hi can you help me? I want to go in 6th form but do I need GCSE ? You know I am from France so I don't know if I can
@@MG-lv5ij You don’t need GCSE’s to go to sixth form in the UK when you come from abroad :) In the Philippines we didn’t have GCSE equivalents but we had report cards so I used those when I was applying. My advice is that you research what sixth form you want to go to and email them asking what their requirements are if you don’t have GCSEs. They’ll most likely ask if you can provide any documents that have your grades in all your subjects, and then they will compare it to what the GCSE standards are. Don’t worry, you will definitely be allowed to go to sixth form but the application process is just a tiny bit more complicated :)
@@larajan8240 Thank you so much !!! You're helping me a lot. I have another question. I heard international student can't go in public school and only in private (that mean we need to pay), is that true ? Also, do you know a good 6th form college ?
@@MG-lv5ij hmm, I’m not sure about international students because I have British citizenship so I didn’t need to pay. I know in my sixth form (which is public) there are lots of international students there, but I think they had to pay a fee. But again, It might be a good idea to email the sixth form college to ask how their system works :) I go to Hills Road Sixth Form College in Cambridge, which accepts international students even if it is public. It’s the best state school in the UK so I recommend it! Also Peter Symonds College in Winchester too
@@larajan8240 Thank you so much again ! Have a great day

Tip for those who are starting; sixth form isn't hard. It's long... Very very long... (it's essentially GCSE's on steroids) Exercise to get stamina and try to concentrate for prolong periods of time.
50. cal headshot what subjects did you do?
@@Egirl_Slayer government and politics, economics and psychology.
i’m sorry this is so late but how was politics and do you recommenced economics ?
This was so well timed for me! Thanks Noo! :)

those seagulls were rlly going for it
+Aspalax 😂
why would it be a bad idea to look at unis now? even if you don't know what course you'd like to apply for surely knowing what the different unis are like will help you once you do know right?
I believe I said that no? Having a brief look is what I recommend, I think it's wrong and stressful to properly look when you don't know how your a levels will go or what you enjoy :)
Amazing. God bless you.
A little bit longer, mines 6 months 😭😂😂
No GCSEs gang1!!!!1!!1
get some work experience- RIP my fellow late summer babies
wow you are even more badass with that vogue internship
Brb im trying to find work experience in related to architecture....still havent found one.
Hi ! I want to know, I'm a student in France so we don't have the same school sistem so can I go in 6th form without GCSE ?
Also, can I take Fine Arts without having mathematics ?
Thank you for your time !
I’m literally typing up what to do in summer 😂 we got 12 weeks off
Why is she so prettyyyy ?
I'm interested in taking an online course. However, as a year 11 going into year 12 will I have enough knowledge to complete them??
+Ellie Porter the one I took taught you as you went so I'm sure you could have a go at least!

damn i have a 13 week summer after year 11 (7 weeks longer) i’ll have so much free time what
I’m taking biology and chemistry and I’ve got them tests I think, were they just like label the structure or was it a proper topic test?

Going into sixth form and I’m planning on doing politics, economics, English literature and philosphy/ethics. But I’ve been told to not bother with 4 and drop one, has anyone got any advice? xxx
Depending on which of those you like least go with that, or I would say philosophy/ethics is something you could do in your spare time rather than an a level in it x
Noo Stenning thank you :)
please do the transition from year 10 - year 11 because ya girl is worried
+Cara Kennedy hope it goes better than you think it will, stay organised and remember to have fun/relax at weekends etc x
I way have left this too late... I have 3 weeks left, I get my GCSE results in 4 days I’m hella scared
Don’t worry! You don’t need to do all these, just some ideas- and 3 weeks is enough to do some- good luck for your results :)
hell yeahhh new videoooo
I don't know if this affected you, but how did you deal with everyone expecting you to get good grades, like I have always been one to get good grades so I feel like I can never say I am worried about how an exam went or about my results because everyone just says oh you're kate you'll be fine. I am super nervous about results day but I feel extra pressure to impress everyone and my teachers, I feel like I'm not allowed to be nervous. Also I'm worried that if I get a 6 (B) and I am disappointed with that other people will think I am being ridiculous because so many people work so hard for that, I don't know there's just a lot on my mind :/
+Kate Richardson I know how you feel, it's a tough position to be in but don't be ashamed of your standards for yourself. You're allowed to be disappointed with grades lower than YOU wanted, obviously don't be rude about it but you have every right to be disappointed in yourself. It's hard to accept that you didn't do as well as you have done before but everyone has ups and downs and hopefully you and the people around you know that. Things happen for a reason even if it's hard to see at the time xx
Noo Stenning hopefully I get the grades! 🤞🏻 thank you for the advice! Xx I'm so nervous! The thought of results day is literally consuming my every spare thought xx
+Kate Richardson good luck, please try and distract your self as much as possible xx
Can u say what to say n do before n after a job interview im super stressed out😂🙏🙏🙏

Yesss
Hey Sarah - think of it this way it could have been a natural disaster, a war or even a famine. We're privileged to live in a country where things aren't adversely affected and even though corona has hit the entire world - you have to just accept it as a major challenge - and look beyond that.

hey could you do a video about your vogue internship xx
+anya saund I've answered in my pinned comment x
I've just finished Year 12, and I can say that you really don't need to do anything in the summer holiday between Years 11 and 12.
First of all, you can get work experience later in the year or next summer (if you even need it; for many people it's completely unnecessary). Also, the "bridging" material that you could learn is pointless as you will start everything from scratch in Year 12 anyway; no one will assume that you have any prior knowledge (and as an example, in chemistry they don't even assume any GCSE knowledge other than a basic understanding of the periodic table, atoms, balancing equations etc.). It just doesn't make sense that they would test you on something that they've not yet taught, and the new material (at least at the beginning of the year) really isn't that difficult, and much easier to learn when explained by a teacher anyway. If you read about it over the summer, it just means that you'll be bored in class for the first few weeks of Sixth Form...
+Smathlax I guess we have different opinions then 💁🏻maybe for some people it isn't necessary but I believe if you want to achieve on a variety of levels it's always good to be doing at least something productive
Work experience is LIFE experience and that's always good, especially when you have so many weeks, doing something productive is great. -as I mentioned it's also potentially money which many people need
Our tests were to see if we could keep up with the knowledge, below a certain % and they asked us to reconsider the a level which was actually very useful for some people who picked the wrong thing.
Having a head start gives you confidence in what you're doing and a chance to adjust to other aspects of sixth form without worrying about the work right away.
I wouldn't have made a video if I didn't think it was worth doing something, it most definitely is 👍
I would have left school today. 2020 covid leaver

Emma_xx_ Xx same
that's ok, just do a bit you'll be fine x
How do u have that much confidencs
The first one is not really a choice anymore thx corona
Also quick not for new year 1w coming in September college/sixth form is no where near as bad as the comments have made it. Its a lot harder than gcses in that there's more work to do but if you utilise your free periods you have plenty of time outside of college to do stuff you like. It's so much more fun and motivating to do college work than secondary and not to mention the courses are only 2 years which fly by so quickly, the years feel much faster than in secondary school.
So true! I completely agree, some people do struggle with the change but I hope if they have an idea of what it’s like it may help :)
Which a levels did you do by the way?

Could you do a video on how you got a job in Vogue?! 😍
+Maria I've answered in my pinned comment x
I can't do work experience now cuz I'm on a long hoilday stuck with loads of very hard bridging work! T_T
I really don’t know what to do because I would like to do maths, economics and psychology for a levels however I cannot due to the blocks at my sixth form. So I am very unsure what to do! I would love to do a language (German) however I am worried t is going to be impossible and I am going to fail 😩 anyone have any advice??
Jenny H what ever your you enjoy most if you have done german before it will be fine but just choose subjects you will like x
I had a problem with my blocks as well, I just told the school and they’re trying to find solutions- like taking one of your subjects at another school in your area but the other two at your original school.
From personal experience from being the other side of alevels, maybe picking business and economics together. They are very similar, well in my case we’re at AS (dropped economics at end of year 12 due to teachers being shit basically) and many of the concepts overlap. You’ll be hitting two birds with one stone when revising. Maths is different as I was the last year to be on the modules course. Psychology I can’t talk about but has maths elements. So the subjects you’ve chosen do tie into one another - business and economics has a large maths element to it
j
Look at local sixty forms. I live 5 mins away from my school and sixth form but they don't have the lessons in the blocks that mean I can take my chosen subjects so I'm traveling to a nearby town.

Can you do one for year 10 to year 11
sutharshini Thileepan as a year 11 who just finished, all i would say is just make sure to top up your stationary as well as investing in a folder or two or a notepad to put revision notes in. the afterschool revision classes for me started around late september so perhaps make a schedule for which ones you'd like to go to for the week. id advise going to most or all of them and then jotting down notes and putting them aside for april/may time for you to look back on. im the most easily stressed person ever yet i can say that the exams after a certain point werent stressful, it was more like 'i want to get revision/ the exam over and done with' and you realise that if you stress then it just wastes time, so it forces you to chill out. you dont need to stay cooped up in your room and its really refreshing to go outside to the park or hang out with your friends, even on a saturday during the exams are going on. you'd feel much more relaxed and want to get into revising full swing. id also advise going to a local library with friends who have a drive to do well as they wont distract you and will encourage you to do well. i found that youtube videos were the BEST way to revise. i struggled revising with a book or a check list so much and i was told about primrose kittens videos of 'biology aqa paper 1 in one hour' and it was so helpful, it narrowed down to all the information you actually needed. what i did was watch it 2-3 times or listen with headphones and then watch it once again with a lower playback speed and jot down notes, i personally found that writing full sentences are a big no as you lose focus whilst reading it. so keeping things short and sweet might help a lot. id listen a lot more in class, maybe sit away from those who might distract you so you can understand everything and not miss out on information. ALWAYS ASK when you dont understand something, especially if the teacher explains it in a way thats difficult to understand. my teacher explained anti bodies in such a peculiar way that in my biology paper 1 exam i literally wrote about the immune system of a potato on a question about a potato plant with a virus. for core subjects id recommend doing a few past papers WITH the teacher, where (s)he tells you how to answer questions, which i found a big help as i knew how to phrase myself in a question. for maths, we did a 'talking mock' which is also just our teacher going through all of the questions of a past paper and telling us how to answer which was the biggest help and paper 2 and 3 was quite similar to the past papers and i used all the techniques given to me on how to answer them. id go through your notes every once in a while as i forgot everything that i had learned beginning of the year. what we were advised to do was find the aqa syllabus online (everything you need to know for the exam papers) early in the year and go over it to know exactly everything. all of this might sound like a lot of work but it was a breeze. work SMARTER, not HARDER - i used to spend 8 hours going through a textbook that i borrowed from the school, which i absorbed nothing from. the videos i personally found to be the biggest help, it took about 2 hours to write down notes. i also made sure i got at least 8 hours of sleep, i know it sounds tempting revising overnight but i learned the hard way in the year 10 mocks that this is NOT the way to go. i went through everything and got 4s, as well as involuntarily dozing off in my RE exam. make sure you eat properly also, i ate as much as i could so that my brain would power through the day, especially exam time. i also recommend buying a multi pack of chocolate, (ESPECIALLY snickers bars, they're literally cheap protein bars) to eat before the exam as the sugar will help you perform a little bit better during the exam and let your pen slide across the page. of course its good to be a little bit stressed as it improves memory, but not too much (you might learn about this lol) your adrenal glands produce adrenaline (fight or flight) which makes blood mainly divert from brain to your limbs, which we obviously dont need for the exam. dont be too worried if you forget stationary as the examiners have everything there, all you have to do is ask. dont forget water during the exam as its good for you, and is good to help you cool down if you are stressing. im sorry this is so long! this is just everything i can think of that helped in year 11. dont forget to have fun as its your last year in secondary school, good luck for year 11.
