Everything I Wish I Knew About GCSEs, A Levels and University

Today I cover questions about GCSEs and A Levels, the EPQ, juggling personal life with studies, as well as general advice on how to excel in your exams and boost your productivity, asked by you guys. A little about me: I got 11 9s at GCSE and have been predicted 4A*s since the start of year 12. I did an EPQ and achieved an A* (50/50) on this. I was a medicine applicant and received 3 offers to study medicine following the UCAT, personal statement and interviews. So many wonderful people helped me get to where I am today so I'd like to repay the favour by helping you guys out too. I hope you learn something new from this video and I hope you enjoy! Do feel free to share this video with friends if you think it'll help them too. In the next part I will be addressing the questions I received all about the medicine application process, specifically how best to prepare for the UCAT, what a good personal statement looks like and Oxbridge medicine specificities. --- Links from the video: 📝 The google form: https://forms.gle/XaMv4RKz3w7D6z4Q7 📖 Revision websites PMT: https://www.physicsandmathstutor.com/ MadasMaths: https://www.madasmaths.com/ Maths Genie: https://mathsgenie.co.uk/ Save My Exams: https://www.savemyexams.com/ More great revision websites that I used: Edexcel Maths mock question banks: https://gways.fireflycloud.net/maths/...
