Homework routines, work, and hobbies

I am starting AS levels and am worried that I wont have time for activities outside of school work, or even find time to get a job. I have decided to get a job once I have settled into a routine. I have chosen to do Biology, Chemistry, Psychology and French.
There are also a few activities that I would like to take part in. Any tips on doing well, but also maintaining a social life? :/

You should be able to find time, but as a tip I found that using my free periods to get work done by myself is really productive and frees up a lot of time outside of sixth form.
I'm the same, I'm going to a completely different sixth form so my surroundings will be new! Use your free periods effectively but don't spend all your time studying, you'll only stress yourself out and that's the last thing you need :frown: if you've got friends that are in the same free periods as you maybe work together, it'll make it a lot more fun :smile: good luck!

Of course you'll have time. You don't need to be doing school work all day even for AS. Yes the jump is big, but it's not so big that you need to constantly revise :smile:

Just manage your time, get a planner/diary. Do school work in 1/3 to 1/2 of your free periods, but save the rest for activities or socialising. You can work after school, but I wouldn't recommend working every day after school since you'll get homework (some of which you can do in your frees).

Don't do any work on one day of the weekend (Saturdays are the best days for this generally) you do need to take time off of your week for yourself.

Trust me, you'll be fine as long as you take enough time to relax as well as work. Time management is key!
