What are your thoughts on A levels and GCSE?

It's that time of the year where some of us begin our A level or GCSE journey. How do you feel? Any advice from any A2 year students?

GCSE to A Levels is a big jump.
Don't treat AS/A Level like GCSE's.
Always refresh your mind on old content.
Make Saturdays or Sundays revision days.
Don't ever slack.
Do the homework, teachers may not always check but really college/sixth form is more independent study - you look after yourself.
Don't expect to be spoon fed like school lmao.
If your college don't provide resources (books, textbooks, paper etc.) then be prepped yourself.
Practise does make perfect, two years isn't a lot of time so make the most of every moment.
Don't ever slack.
Talking of making the most of every moment... enjoy it. You won't ever got to college/sixth form again.
You most probably will leave with no friends btw :rofl: after college/sixth form most people go their own ways.
Don't ever slack.
Sleep well.
Eat well.
Drink well.
Don't ever slack.
Might seem like basics but you sometimes do forget about it in the middle of studying. :erm:

Can't think of more. Just ask if you got any general questions. :h:
