A level maths

20

This is a massive task and inadvisable.
If you have taken a qualification like level 2 further maths alongside gcse then by all means, review that content or if you haven’t studied it then look at some of the content for one of those types of qualification.
Do some bridging work to brush up on harder gcse topics and work on your algebraic manipulation as that is a key skill for a level.
You should care about rest. This is the last time for a while that youll be able to rest for weeks without pressure of exams so enjoy it. Explore your interests, read, go out with friends, take up a new hobby, learn to cook, go outside, visit places etc

Here’s what I would suggest you do:

1.

Enjoy your time abroad! Dont even think about studying then because you’ll more than likely regret it in the future if you spend the time studying 🙂

2.

For the time you’re not abroad, look up local events! These could be related to your academic interests (like visiting a museum or observatory or talk) or they could just be fun things like a festival of some sort or a sports event

3.

Look online for some documentaries, podcasts, courses of interest etc. This again could be related to what you might want to study in the future but it could also be something like learning an instrument or how to juggle

4.

Start a project, even if you dont finish it (dont make it feel like school work!). You might want to fill up a sketch book or journal or start a business- whatever appeals to you!

I hope you have a great summer, you deserve a break after GCSEs! 🙂

don't listen as long as you were competent enough to GCSE maths and get a 9 without revising much you should naturally be able to figure out like half of 1st year a level maths and the rest really isn't hard to learn. summer holidays are more than enough time to get the course down (idk about further maths though that'll take a bit more work)

I have at no point suggested that this isnt something which the OP is capable of doing, just that this wouldn’t be the best use of their time. The long summer after GCSEs should be able resting, hobbies and exploring your interests because year 11 is stressful and once you start a levels it can be hard to catch a break.
