Definitely keep on top of work, and keep the work organised! As soon as your folders start having pages thrown in and not filed, it just goes on... :facepalm:

Get your coursework done and out of the way early. You'll realise in 6th form how your teachers are real humans as well so listen to their advice!

Realise that it isn't just slightly more work than GCSE, it's going to be a hard year and a steep learning curve. However, also remember that it's awesome and the lessons and teachers are brilliant! :smile:

If you're struggling on something, find your teachers in your frees/before school/break/lunch and ask for their help. Most teachers are willing to give you extra help if you put the effort in.

My advice is don't!

Hahahaha, I'm joking. Really though, I just did my AS year and my advice is make revision notes as you go, don't wait until your exam date is looming. It might seem pointless at the time but trust me, don't be like me and have your exam in 2 weeks and you still haven't done any revision notes, never mind learn it!

This is probably some of the best advice you'll get! I didn't do this and when all your (A2!) exams are crammed into two weeks you don't have time to start making notes a couple of weeks before!

It depends on your sixth form/college

My college had loads of sports clubs, and regular clubs for people to join, like creative writing, sciences stuff, we even had a build a rocket club and air hostessing
