Is anyone already stressed about A levels?!?

No first year is hella chill, imo I was more relaxed this year than GCSES

The idea of having finished GCSEs is so daunting and... foreign. I already have SO much bridging work to do and I just started (having only a WEEK to go until school starts- super late). I'm taking : English literature, Sociology, Government + Politics and RS. I'm so panicked and have already noticed the difference between GCSE and A level (the work load is also terribly excessive). My GCSE were kind of disappointing due to the fact I didn't really revise (2 A*, 2 A,3 B, 6 C, 2D) therefore I'm hoping to literally SLAY A levels; a task that's difficult but nevertheless achievable. I want to go to a prestigious university although I'm still in the dark about what I'd like to do (maybe something to do with literature because I'm so passionate about it!!).
My point is, I want to succeed and I'd like to get some tips on current or past A levels students. How did you revise? Just anything that could be useful to be honest. Also GCSE students who are doing A level can also enlighten me about their situation!
Many thanks X

same...i enrolled yesterday and just so anxious about the work.

don't worry, I am in the exact same position as you... all this summer I have been stressing about the upcoming workload and my mental health tbh... I have been hearing that limiting your social life and social media to as little as possible may prevent you from all those distractions throughout the day when you could be revising hard. I think you need to invest in CGP "bridging the gap between GCSE and A level......." books for a more confident start to your A levels, that's what I have done anyway. I too want to get into a prestigious university, but its all about the grades and extra qualifications that make your application stand out and unique to others.
hope you feel better about your situation xx

Yeah, well I did RS and Lit too so all I can really say is don't leave it all for a week before. For Literature, read the books properly- you'll need to know what's where for the exams- and read loads of exemplars so you understand the skills you're required to show. I still managed to get As in both though so I guess my advice makes sense. Oh, and, for Literature, you should probably plan questions that might come up so you'll already have points in mind (that might even be transferable to other questions).
Btw, GCSE stuff isn't that much of an indicator because I didn't do GCSE RE and for Literature and Language I got As, not A*s.
Good luck.

I can't believe people are worried for A-levels, I'm sitting here extremely excited... Just the thought of studying the subjects I actually like brings me happiness. Can't wait till September.

you got an A for english lit A level?! holy crap you must be gifted!!
