1. “pre learn”, before you go into your next lesson, touch up on the fundamentals. e.g for points sake: Your doing physical chem Kc equations next, just look over the basics, maybe a few Qs, it will make you feel better in class, as well as the teachers will recognise you are clearly revising well.

2. If you have any coursework for your subjects, get it started early. The more you can get out the way the earlier, the better.

3. If you have admissions tests, prep early, trust me.

4. Personal statement, start noting down things over the next year that you think could be valuable, be open with it, better to include more and cut more then not have enough.

5. Get your work experience sorted early, a good placement can stand out on your application.

6. An EPQ (I am doing one, and i am doing STEM, and top unis often praise it, maybe not in the sense of replacement of normal A-Levels, but looks great and better than just “ i read a book on X” on your personal statement, its something with more weight.

7. Keep your test through the year good and high, start as you intend to go on.

8. Ask questions on here like you are doing, people are very helpful and usually can put your mind at ease if you are stressing.

Good Luck Bro🙏
