      @@SM-ct1ky English has always been one of my better subjects, but make sure you understand the content and how to structure ur answers is my best advice. Go through whatever text you’re doing and annotate it line by line, if you don’t get something ask a teacher or Google it! Watch parody versions, we’re doing a Christmas Carol and I’ve watched The Muppets version every Christmas for ages so I understand the plot and some key lines.
      I structure my answers as (example) Dickens presents Scrooge as cold in Stave One, this is illustrated as he’s “(example that shows this)”. Later on this is contrasted, he’s now “(example)”, this depicts his (change? His growth? Whatever the question wants) and shows dickens’ message.
      I hope that helps a bit!!

    - cold emailing ppl in yr field for more opportunities, ex. shadowing professional
    - study smart --> spaced repetition
    - rmb to maintain yr gd subjects, don't neglect them
    - research what u want to do as a job --> ask ppl in the company for a call/email, and ask for how they got to their current position

    7:39 is just as true for choosing A-levels as it is for choosing careers. There are loads of new subjects now available that were not at GCSE which people often don't consider for long enough. And the choice only expands for university: I am doing a degree which was not available either at GCSE or at A-Level; people should consider these degrees way more too!

    Also, if you’re doing your a levels or GCSE you are still a child. There is no need to pile the pressure on. If you’re watching this video then you care about your results and education. And that’s 99% of the battle. Everyone is different but I did 2 weeks of revision for my GCSE’s and got 10A*-A (9-8). I’m not hating on this video at all, it’s very admirable! But I think it’s easy to fall into this perspective that the world is going to stomp on you unless you get 11 9s and 4 A*S at a level. I know a doctor who got an unconditional for Medicine and then flunked his a levels and still became a doctor. When I was an engineer I had 3 degrees from top unis but my boss had one degree which was a 2:2 from a ‘rubbish’ uni. Just do your best, find what works for you!
