10 Tips to Survive A Levels

1. Do not procrastinate. Try to get homework done on the day you get it, rather than leaving it until 10pm on the night before its due in.
 

2. Do not spend hours on Facebook when you should be writing an essay or doing homework! If you spend too much time online, do not switch your laptop/computer on if you don't need it, or block certain websites!

3. Work in your free (*cough* study! *cough*) periods.

4. Pick subjects you enjoy and find interesting, or else you will not want to do the work!
5. January mocks are important in Year 12. Work your socks off so you don't need to resit in June!

6. If you are doing an EPQ (Extended Project Qualification) do not leave it until the last minute! Settle on an idea fast and do your research, then you will have time to write it all up.

7. Volunteer work/ work experience is a good idea, especially in Year 12. Not only is a great experience, it will also look good on your UCAS form!

8. Try to draft your Personal Statement early - after your AS June exams is a good time. It can take a long time to cut it down on UCAS Apply (trust me, I've been there!) and drafting it early, when you are not stressing about A2 work, makes life easier.

9. Get help from your teachers if you need it. Don't struggle with understanding the work and ask if what you can do to get the grade you want! 

10. Don't panic. Try to stay on top of work, but leave time out too! You're only human - have breaks between work and have fun!
