Earphones are so underrated. I would always get so tempted to join in on conversation during study period but putting on my earphones and playing some rain noises always let me get in a decent amount of work in đ
hahaha relatable!
even when i have headphones in i still end up talking
Notion is also amazing for planning and taking notes! I use it a lot now, and I also use Google calendar for planning all my classss and extra curricular
It is very good!
im going into year 12 this week and im realising the headphones thing is especially important ty jaden
No problem!
Yes!CGP books are so goodđ.For GSCE Biology I did not use any of my class notes to revise instead I used my CGP book(as well as past paper questions) and I got a 7 in my Biology đ
I can relate!!
Lmao I used CGP books to revise for maths and I got an 8! CGP books rule!!!!
lol i just skimmed the CGP books and got 9s in all three GCSE sciences. way better than my written notes
Fr I didnât use cgp but used everything but my own notes and got a 9
@AUT_BRANDED In some cases that is true, I didn't like the way they explained certain concepts and the methods they used. I just found their questions very useful for revision, as I had run out of past papers to find on the internet.
Iâm going into year 13 and my airpods have been amazing. Just turn on noise cancelling and itâs complete quiet and I love it đ
^^^
as someone whoâs just about to start year 12 on Monday, this is so helpful, thank you!
Good luck!!
@@JadenYee thank you!! :)
How was ur first year
Iâm starting year 12 this week and Iâm so scared because we missed year 10 due to covid and a lot of our year 11 was disrupted. I didnât really revise for GCSEs so Iâm already going to be behind since I donât really know how to revise.
That's tough, hopefully the teachers will ease everyone into the new content but the things you normally learn at A-level are a bit different from GCSE so as long as you keep up with learning the new content, you will be okay
how was ur first year
I bought an inexpensive tablet for my studies. It was slightly used, but worked wonders. I did all my past papers, note writing , question solving on it. Let me tell you , the internet is your best friend , u can find loads of content on ur subject ,so make use of it. I studied the whole CS course online , with a pdf book.
How was ur first year? I'm starting this year and nervous
@@theemo874 may i know whats the link for the CS course?
Woah I had watched a few videos, but only just now from this intro did i realise that you had only started a month or two ago - congrats man, you're really smashing it!!
Thanks so much for your support!
Thanks for the great advice will definitely be applying this when I start. Good luck to anyone starting yr12 soon as well x
No problem, thanks for the nice words and goodluck!
@@JadenYee thanks you too đ
this was actually really helpful :) ! i'm going to get some folders but other than that i'm pretty sure i'm ready to go !!
Good luck!!
thank you so much for this!! I'm starting year 12 at the end of this month and I'm half excited half nervous because of all I've heard about it!
Thank you very much for this video, itâs been incredibly useful and Iâll definitely be referring back to it often. Keep up the great content! đ
One things that not many people talk about that I recommended getting is reinforcement labels which are these circle stickers that u put around the hole punch holes on ur paper to prevent them from ripping each time ur flicking through ur folder since itâs so easy for the holes to rip leading to the paper going missing đđ
Good idea!
Very professional and informative video well done man, I start sixth form tomorrow so this helped me out a lot
Thank you so much! Goodluck!
Omg best video so far, super simple and straightforward!!!! Thanks sooooo much. Iâm starting sixth-form in like 4 days. Good luck to everyone for whatever year ur goin into.đ
Thank you for the nice comments! Goodluck in sixthform!
Oh my goodness! Not only is your video incredibly informative but so is your description! Iâm going into year 13 now and I really need to make it up for all the missed time during year 12 so thank you so much!
Thank you, I'm glad it helped!
I clicked buy on the newest ipad so quickly cuz I knew I was to use it during sixthform uni and then law school in the future
Thanks for giving me the encouragement to make my purchase :)
this was so helpful! it covers everything, ive been stressed about whether or not im ready for sixth form so this gave me reassurance
Thank you, I hope the video helped!
Hi, I'm starting yr 12 next week and came across your video and juts wanted to sya thank you. It actually helps to know tips and tricks from a student who knows what they are talking about and these tips are very helpful considering I'm choosing maths, biology, chemistry and physics.
Great video, I'm definitely subscribing and keep up the good work!!
Thank you for your kind feedback and thanks for subscribing! I did the same subjects, welcome to my channel!
THIS WAS SO USEFUL TYSM litterlay watched people putting yellow paper and stuff in their bag and started freaking out about everything i had 2 buy but you made it look like less of a big sack of stress
Yes that's good! You don't need everything and can make do with most of the basics!
Your editing is on point đđ iPad is a must for me cuz I hate having to print past paper booklets all the time it was a painđ
Thank you, that means a lot!!
Loved the video!! . I'm starting yr12 on Monday and, you've really helped me out to prepare well for the year ahead đ.
However I'm still very nervous,wish me luck đ
Thank you so much! Good luck, you'll do great!!
thank you very much bro, very well spoken and straight to the point
Thank you!
Thanks for the tips jaden. I start sixth form in 3 days and I am taking maths further maths and economics wish me luck !
No problem, goodluck!! Those sound like great choices!
Thanks for the great advice bro! I am going to start sixth form on Monday :D
how was it? like workload n social life
you're an absolute legend
I'm starting year 12 in 2 days, thank you for this video :)
Glad you found it useful!
I bought the school iPad I used at year 11, so Iâm going to use that over a laptop.
thanks man!
I recommend Trello for To-Do lists!

I am a new year 12 I see and I like
Very informative definitely. Subscribing
Awesome, thank you!
Iâm going to be changing schools for 6th form, rn Iâm doing my GCSEs (my current school is pathetic) and I donât know anyone there so kinda nervous but this video made me more excited for it
Goodluck, I'm sure it will be great!
This was really helpfulđ„đ„
Glad it helped!
Thanks bro đđŸ
Really useful video lad.
Glad it helped

Glad you like them!
@@JadenYee any tips for first week? I start next Wednesday:))
@@sebbydudie237 Try and talk to as many people as possible when you first start. Be open minded and friendly to everyone! It is quite awkward to begin with but it will take a couple of weeks for everyone to settle down. Goodluck, I'm sure you'll enjoy it!
@@JadenYee thanks! Itsa school sixth form so a lot have stayed on from year 11....a lot of my friends went to different ones,although I still know people they kinda already have theyre groups ;(
Thank you !! This is very helpfulđ, I am starting a level and wasnât sure about what stuff i will be needing in my a levels. Also can you make a video focus more about how to get into dentistry and the specific grades .... you need. đ As I am also going into dentistry. đAlso can you recommend some website from which you can take notes or get past paper / practice papers from. đ
Yes, I will be making videos also focused more towards dentistry/medicine in the future!
In Brief:
You can find general required grades from uni websites but it is normally something like A*AA - AAA. It's nice to see another future dentist! Good past paper resources are 'physics and maths tutor' 'exam solutions' and your exam board websites like AQA etc.
I also recommend finding channels on youtube like Biology carol, allery chemistry, exam solutions but there are so many out there!
@@JadenYee THANK YOU VERY MUCH đ
@@JadenYee Also could give some tips on how to get work experience, which experience will help me to go into dental school. That would be great :)
@@alishba3042 Any work experience in a dental practice would be good if you are able to remember what you learnt and how you reflect on the overall experience. It doesn't really matter what type but I would do a range of work experience in different specialities. It's going to be hard getting experience but cold emailing local practices would probably work when they allow students in for work experience.
Just clicked on the video. I know its going to be a banger from that other vid
Update: I was right. Thank you for the wonderful insight into the tools needed to thrive in sixth form. I wish you good luck in university, and hope Dentistry won't be too much
of a toothache for you :)
Thank you for all your support!!
Thanks for this video, really helpful!
P.S. What type of bag would you recommend purchasing for year 12/13?
Thank you for the lovely comment! Any bag which can carry fit atleast a small folder in is fine. Make sure you have enough room for a coupe of textbooks but nearly all bags will do the job!
@@JadenYee Thanks!
Wow only 1 to 2 months ago⊠well done :)
Thank you đ
Could we get a video in which you do a rundown of the subjects you took and your opinion/experiences with them ?
Yes definitely, will do a brief one with all subjects then probably individual things and advice in the future!
@@JadenYee Your a legend, but I bet you already knew that !
I want to go dental school as well, is there any (extra curricular activities, work experience , hobbies) that you did that will make your Dental application stand out.Im also put of by the fact that there is lots of competition for Dental School, can you give me some advice for that and what I should do right now (I'm in 6th form) that will allow me to get into dental school.
Can you please share your quizlet flashcards from GCSE!
I didn't really use flashcards at GCSE or many at A-level! There are lots of made sets which other people have made which I would sometimes use so you may find useful ones there!
For the day folder should it be the normal smaller ones, or the big lever arch files? I think the lever arch might be too big, but I don't know if I can fit 3 whole topics in the smaller one
Since itâs a day folder, as long as you take out your notes and papers everyday, they should fit quite easily
You will be able to use a smaller one! If you need more space you can just unload the content that you learnt at the beginning of the topic if you want.
Thanks for the video, remember watching this months ago and now I'm actually in sixth form!
For maths and further maths(if maths is applicable to further), what did you put in the binders apart from past tests and practice questions as my sixth form already gave us books for those subjects?
That's great to come back, thank you! I just wrote down neat notes of the very important things such as formulas, new topics and key examples of doing questions. That way I could look back and see examples of how to do certain questions if I ever forgot!
@@JadenYee I'll definitely try doing that, thank you!
@@JadenYee in college do you still get picked on and have to answer a question?
With the iPad where do you write your notes? Is there a specific app to write notes, draw diagrams etc? and this is with the apple pen?
yep hes using an apple pen. i recommend 'goodnotes', if you're willing to pay, to make notes! one note also works well on ipad and can sync with your school office 365 account.
mlak said it all! There are also cheaper alternatives to the apple pencil on amazon if you don't want to spend so much :)
Hii do you have any recommednations for headphones for androids
Do we need a day folder for each subject we are doing? Or would it be one day folder for all subjects you have that day and then remove the notes at the end of the day and place them into the subject folders? Great video btw so informative đ
I would suggest only 1 day folder for all subjects. Sometimes you don't need to empty it daily or even weekly. You could empty it out every term depending on how much paper you collect! You can adjust all of this to your own preference, thank you hope this has helped!
On your iPad what app did you download past papers to? I use word but donât find word very easy to use on an iPad. If you have an alternative that would be great and any other apps I should get on my iPad before sixth form!
I downloaded them to goodnotes, I think you can do it with notability too which is free but goodnotes is what I mainly use and has worked perfectly. I'm sure you can find many tutorials online if you are struggling
@@JadenYee brilliant! Thank you
For the ipad air 4, Did you get the 64GB or the 256GB? Is the 64GB enough storage?
I got 64GB and that is more than enough for any notes etc.
4:33 I agree with this sm
Glad to hear!
Hey Jaden, I was thinking of buying a laptop which has a touchscreen feature to take notes is it worth buying instead of an ipad as also I would like to program on the device ?
That seems fine. I would always suggest prioritising a laptop over an iPad as I don't think a laptop is replaceable yet!
one thing if my exam bored is OCR is it ok if study from CGP books? because sometimes some things are diffrent right
Yes CGP books are still fine but make sure you buy OCR CGP books and not another exam board like AQA.
Those big ring bound folders dont fit in my bagđ im thinking of using one of those expanding file folders as my day folder, but it wont fit as much stuff in. Do you reckon it would work?
100% those were just some examples but anything which can hold content in is absolutely fine!
Subscribed.
Thank you so much!
Watching this 1 year later before sixth form starts â»ïž
Can anyone suggest a decent dress code for Sixth form please?
wdyt of getting exercise books for subjects then hole punching them and putting them in your folder at home? (would substitute for day folder)
i guess you could do that, but i might get un organised if your putting each subject notes into it, But if your bringing 3 books in, you might at well bring a day folder
*youre
@@demirav04 no different coloured exercise book for differrnt subjects, and then organise them into seperate folders when i get home
@@PenguDZN okay yes, that is also a good idea! if you have a smaller bag (one in which a folder doesnât fit in) it will help a lot
Anything which works for you is great!
What Backpack do you have?
I recently made a What's in my bag video!
good luck my guy. me dads a dentist in Liverpool hope you do well
Thank you!
im starting y11 this monday coming up and im wondering if you have any tips or advice on starting y11
Oh nice, I have a video already on GCSE's and a similar style video to this. Here is the link which explains all my best recommendations to Year 11: czcams.com/video/FVIjIOWYRqM/video.html&ab_channel=JadenYee
Goodluck!
@@JadenYee thanks bro and good luck on starting university
do a lot of past GCSE papers, it was sooo useful
for me year 11 was hardly different to year 10 lol. Don't stress about it at all, and there's no need to worry about exam revision until like a month before your mocks, even then i barely did revision for my mocks.
How do you get used to using the iPad to write I got one in lockdown but I feel it makes my writing more scruffy
It comes with just writing and practicing alot! You may be interested in screen protectors such as paperlike etc but I don't use any personally. Apps such as goodnotes and notability really helps tidying up your work
Do the cgp textbooks cover ocr
Yes I am pretty sure they cover most exam boards including ocr
Hey I have an ipad pro Iâve had it since year 11 so is there any need for me to invest in a laptop? Thanks!
Hmm, probably not but depends on what you will be doing, I think an iPad is definitely sufficient for sixth form as you could use school computers for other things.
Omg you did orc b chemistry help
I did!
I have a question. Why cant i just write my notes in a notebook and keep it in their instead of ripping out the pages and putting it in a folder? (Like we do for gcse)
you could do that i assume. youâd just need to have a notebook for each subject as opposed to just one that you can take the pages out of and put them in the designated folder.
@@shahzenanakai2499 so having 3 folders is easier than 3 notebooks?
@@t.4861 i think a lot of the time the three folders are left at home and only one smaller folder is brought to school. then the notes from the smaller folder are out into the other three when you get home. that way you only need to carry one smaller folder instead of three notebooks. but if notebooks work better for you thereâs no reason you shouldnât use them :)
@@izzy.c1895 thank you im gonna consider ur method, i was confused :)
You definitely can! It's just that sometimes teachers teach stuff in weird orders so having folders which individual pages means more flexibility so it doesn't matter what content you are learning atm.
Itâs funny how you came up on my recommended when Iâm pretty sure you went to my primary school đ
No way! Are you going into Yr12?
@@JadenYee yh pretty sure your sister was in my class lol, anyway nice channel bro.
When you have to resit maths in November and a whole lotta a level homework on the 2nd week đ
Goodluck!
@@JadenYee Thank youu I hope you make how to revise maths videos in the near future âșïžđ
have u always wanted to be a dentist? (assuming that you go to a dental school)
Not always, was struggling to decide until late Yr12, was deciding between dentistry vs medicine. Will be making a video on how I decided!
@@JadenYee Iâve also decided dentistry
Since they earn more
And the job is more interesting tbf
iPad or laptop
Is a Chromebook good enough for Year 12 and 13?
yeah any laptop is good i think!!
Yeah, anything which works for you will be great!
I'm very confused on how I will organise all the work sheets.
I have a video on that! Check out some on my channel
Hi, I'm doing my GCSE'S this year and i wanted to go sixth form but i'm finding some of the gcses quite hard, i'm scared my grades will be mostly 5s and 6s. I wanted to ask you if you knew anybody who actually got mostly 6s and 5s but got into sixth form cause i really wanted to go there.
Yes of course! I knew so many people with a whole range of grades and if you do work hard and revise properly then I'm sure you can get where you want! Goodluck!
@@JadenYee Thank You
@@ishanahar7984 most 6th forms require only 5s and 6s
i am kinda worried about things like devices because we dont have so much money to spend on extra devices. i do have a laptop. i feel a lil insecure that i will be making most notes on paper but i hope its not such a big deal or something so bizarre in this generation lol
nah iâm going to start a levels in 2 weeks and i didnât realise i need this much stationary
Not everything is necessary! A-lot can be substituted, this is just what I used!
jayden how big is your bag may I ask
Average size, it can carry a laptop if needed along with all textbooks for my subjects at its max!
@@JadenYee lovely bless for the reply man
3:48 Lofi Jayden Reveal?
do you think it is worth just taking an ipad instead of a laptop
I think if you are choosing between a laptop and iPad then I would suggest the iPad in terms of choosing to buy one of them. If you are talking about just bringing it into school then I would say the iPad is sufficient and if you find you really need the laptop then you can just take it in another day
My name is actually Jaden Yee as well lol
no way
diaries/A5 notebooks are amazing. Whenever I have to make a small quick note about any error that I have made in any subjects.
Didn't use folders. Found reading notes didn't help me that much. Whished I had for exam Qs because storing those helped me more (especially for physics, oh boy).
Good points, keeping exam qus are so useful!
I got my timetable and I want to make a timetable but I have no clue where to start including my extra curricular do you have any advice to help ?
I might make a video on this since it is quite an important topic. I would always make sure you allow some time after you come home to relax before diving into anything intense. Allow time off for days where you may not feel like doing anything and try to be as flexible as possible whilst still being productive. I would see how the first few weeks/months go and then you will have a better feel of how much time you require for each thing on your timetable!
It's STATIONERY.
oops well spotted đ I don't know how I managed to spell it both ways!
i am in year 10 now
Wow finding this really early!! You'll definitely be ready đ
