Preparing for sixth form subjects

I'm hoping to take English literature, French, Government and Politics and French. I really want to be prepared for them when I start in September. I'd rather be ahead than behind. Any advice?

For French (just finished AQA AS ) (only one of your subjects I do sorry) try and get a head start on vocab (check out memrise and quizlet - make a free account and then PM me and I can give u some good links/my username so you can use some of my resources I've made already), reading online newspapers www.lemonde.fr and www.lefigaro.fr and watch french films too!

feel free to ask away as well, do u know which exam board you'll be on?Hopefully that helped u,

I really wouldn't worry about getting ahead - nobody that I know did anything notable to prepare in the summer before A levels and everyone coped fine; there's an initial learning curve and drop in grades, but everything is fine within weeks. If you really want to do stuff, find out what books you'll be covering in Lit and read them so you'll save time once school starts. For Politics, keep up with current affairs (a lot of the exam is current examples, rather than stuff from the textbook) and ensure you know the basics of the government system. I didn't take French, but going over key vocabulary might be useful, I guess?

It's definitely worth finding out your specific exam boards so you're not covering the wrong thing. But everyone will be in the same position in September - don't worry about what you do, or don't do, in the summer.

Haha, sorry I've changed my mistake now. Thanks for the advice! I've heard of memrise and quizlet but never used them. I listen to French radio. Do you think this will help? Also, I'm AQA.

you may want to start packing your bag for sixth form too - a 2 litre bottle of vodka and 1kg of coke should cover the first week 🙄
