I can tell by the right angled lamp, the grey wall that matches the bed cover, the black plant pots that match the colour of the lamp and moreso the way the tshirt completely blends in to the background that you're a complete organisation freak. I wish I could attain that level of perfection.
HAHAHAHAHA YOU SEE RIGHT THROUGH ME I LOVE IT

I am doing my a Levels in 2022, was meant to be doing my GCSE's this year... I didn't do very well in secondary but I really want to do well in my A Levels, thanks for the video :)
me too
same
hope everyone's a level go well for 2022
Me too, I only got 4’s and two 5’s in my GCSE’s, I’m hoping I can get some A’s in my A levels
same. fighting!!!
"Condense and then condense again" - this strategy is so useful! It helps to separate the waffle from the bits you personally need, works very effectively for me! Fantastic tips as always Jack, awesome video! 😅
1000000%! Thank you for watching! ☺️☺️
Congrats On the A*!!!
I have tried this for 3 month now and it has helped a lot, thank you I have seen an improvement from C and B to A and A* in science (since I need help in science)
I thank you 100%
solibabes 101 how are you doing now.
CONGRATSSS
What science alevel did you ?
This was overwhelmingly helpful. As someone who’s having a total meltdown over A levels right now, this was so so helpful. Thank you so much!
I started crying over my economics today cos my mums excepting As
@@lucyroberts9498 I hope you got your As!
videos like this usually make me feel worse about my alevels because my way of studying is very different to everyone elses, alongside feeling unmotivated 24/7 but THIS video has genuinely helped so much. thank you!! 💪🏼
Aw that’s really reassuring - thank you for watching! 😊
Even thought I don’t do any of these subjects I’m here 😂 to take any advice I can get
Ayyyy I hope it still helps!
Sherry wowww out of all the places I thought I'd see you this is the last. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 - Ash
Sherry Says which subjects are you taking
Does watching this video count as revision?? 🤔
ermmmm ABSOLUTELY!!!!
LOL
ABSOLUTELY......not
Yeah it will totally get you A* in all your subjects :) Like if u agree :) Also it gets you High grades in computing cause this is part of a computer and it is an interface hehehhehehehe :D
Tried to revise my a level politics today I was so unmotivated. You're videos actually make me motivated to revise aha.
Ah that makes me very happy, thank you for watching! Good luck with your exams, you’ve got this!
Olivia Holloway I'm thinking of doing politics for a level, any info/tips about it?
Vince and his Hair just don’t
do it, its my fav a level, im doing maths politics and economics
Tomorrow is my exam I'm scared
I am such a neat freak and it takes ages to do my notes, going to have to face my fear and try that more 'messy' way of doing it from time to time!
just keep telling yourself that eventually you’ll write it up in neat and that’ll get you through hahaha
Maybe do both like make it a bit messy and neat
The last tip just reminded me that I'm important. It hit me so hard. Thank you 💙
Mental health ALWAYS comes first - you’ve got this 💪🏼
New revision tip: use Jack as a reward! It is slightly sad but nothing like watching someone do better than you, after you’ve done the work 😂
Whaaaaaat?!?! Don’t put yourself down, I’m sure you’ll absolutely smash your exams!
Excellent tips, as someone who succeeded at A-Levels, I can confirm that these are good tips and i would highly recommend! Also, examiners reports are good to look at. I would also hand your teacher an essay every day, or two days, because they cant say no, as its their job!
Ah that’s so reassuring to hear - thank you! OMG YES I FORGOT ABOUT EXAM REPORTS!!!
You don't know the teachers in my school dude
@@infinity7647 omg Same, but it would be a great tip for teachers that really did this
I'm 22 and finished my a levels 4 years ago...why tf am I watching this 😂
I’m American and don’t have A levels..idk why I’m watching this either 😂
@@sii1100 lol
@@sii1100 I don't have A levels too 😂😂
I did my A Levels in 1987
Same omg Hahahah I don’t know either but I don’t regret it 😂
during study leave I used to get my mum to take my phone to work with her - a bit harsh maybe but there was no possible temptation to go on it at all during the day and I could really properly appreciate being able to use it in the evenings!
woaaahhhh I applaud you for that 👏🏼
Thank you SO much for making this Jack!! I'm in year 13 and this has really inspired me to sort my self out and get my head down and revise in an efficient and productive manner.
AYYYY that’s all I can ever ask for! Good luck, I’m sure you’ll smash it 💪🏼💪🏼
Super informative stuff. Personally, I achieve in History A-Level with a slightly taxing method. Throughout the year I would copy out all wider reading and textbook stuff the day I learnt it (yes this meant occasionally copying out 4-5 pages of text in one day). These notes would be neat, colorful and in a book. I would read the books sporadically throughout the year slowly getting the information into my head. Now, as its close to exams, I re-read the note heavy books and highlight but crucially annotate each paragraph as I go along with the most key ideas present This makes sure you engage with the notes and get important info learnt. Also, with each topic I would make an analytical summary with the key dates, questions, way of thinking and events/ links between events. This method is tedious but if you keep it up all year everything absorbs so well and you gets loads of extra information as you allow yourself not to just 'mega-condense' which can lead to a loss of some niche information that may give your essay that A* edge.
YESSSS the textbook method is exactly what I did! The really niche facts are definitely the ones that impress examiners. Sounds like you’re going to absolutely smash it 👏🏼
Hey! I am not sure if you will even see this reply (I am 3 years late lmao). If somehow you do can you let me know how you did any wider readings meaning where/how I can find books to expand my knowledge for a level history - I start this september so i am trying to get prepared!
RUclips won't stop recommending this for some reason. not that I'm complaining really
1. Plan
2. Short term goals.
3. Block distractions
4. Condense your notes
5. Efficient revision
6. Not all revision has to be neat
7. Do essay-planning
8. Find your study space
9. Teach yourself as you go
10. Look after yourself

I've been feeling so unmotivated lately, but watching videos like yours and other revision youtubers really truly wakes my educational brain area (does that make sense?) up and gets me motivated to get as much as possible done!
when you’re watching this in 2021 being a fan of your booktube vids and found out you had a study video: le gasp
This was so helpful. I’ve been doing intense “topic a day” revision since the start of Easter and I found myself entirely burnt out after five or so days and had to just cut myself off from work. I’m starting again today and starting the day with this to get me in the right mindset 🌦
Ahhh good to hear! DEFINITELY take time out when you need it, and you’ll come back ready to work ten times as hard! You’ve got this 💪🏼
I GOT NEW RULES I COUNT 'EM
~breaks out into full dance routine~
BOI I WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT THAT LOL 😂
Lolll
I just found your channel and I'm doing GCSEs right now, but this was honestly the most helpful revision video I've seen. Like...I'm *genuinely* about to get up and revise because of this! Normally I kinda just watch the videos and feel bad at how organised everyone is compared to me, but this motivated me a lot :)
YES 👏🏼 YES 👏🏼 YES 👏🏼
This is so rewarding - thank you!!!
Jack Edwards Keep making amazing content!✨🙌🏾
I'm a mature student and having watched a few of these videos I have to say this was not only informative, but very responsible including the mental health advice. Sterling work young man. I'm not surprised you did so well in your exams. 👍
Self Control has saved my life- it's SUCH a great app! Great video as always! x
Honestly the best thing I’ve ever found, I’m literally like a kid who has to have his toys taken away hahahaha
I just started my learning for my a levels (I’m in year 12) and found this video really motivating and positive! I’ve been really struggling with motivation and have been getting overwhelmed with work, this makes me think that it is possible to keep up with the mountains of work😂 I’ve also been off of Instagram and snapchat for a few days and honestly it helps so much, could not recommend it more!
this gets recommended every single day
this gets recommended like everyday
who’s here after gcses and alevels have been cancelled
Not cancelled but postponed
@@bny4455 No, they've been cancelled if you were meant to do them in 2020. They have slightly postponed the 2021 to June/July ish
@@raffaellarizzo9154 do you think we'll get the same paper of Nov 2020 when we will take part in June 2021 ?
@@bny4455 No, they'll be different papers (I think, I don't know too much about how they set up the exams)
@@raffaellarizzo9154 okay thank you
I am SO HAPPY I've found this channel because you've done the 2/3 a-levels i have and the same modules so far!!!
BABY JACK
The fact I’m avoiding revising by watching this video is amazing 😂
Jack Edwards I am starting sixth form next Monday I am going to come back and update my experience whenever I can. This has been a great and useful video :)
FINALLY, someone who gave me some real help. literally, everyone else just keeps saying you're mental health is this and that and blah blah blah. no one has actually given me some ACTUAL tips that are study-related.
I've had this video on my recommended list for so long. Now I am watching it so it never gets recommended to me again... but cute little baby Jack (who was actually not very little in 2018) is making me watch the whole thing. I just told him that he will get rejected from Oxford and I don't know why I did that
I needed this! I've had a dreadful cold for the past few days and I have felt useless, thank you so much !! X
Take the time to fully rest and recover and then get back to business once you’re back to full health, you’ve got this 💪🏼
Have like a nice thing to do every time you master a topic like watch a movie or just chill for a bit and then work hard again
thank you so much for telling me that time spent planning is not time spent wasting. I've always been so annoyed that i "waste " time on planning but I realize now that some people just do much better with planning. and also...I AM SO HAPPY I AM NOT THE ONLY HUMAN THAT MAKES 15 MINUTE PLANS FOR THE ENTIRE DAY. it always keeps me going. Ticking the boxes are my motivation.
Thank you Jack for posting this. Especially when it's exam season for us college students. You are a very kind and thoughtful person/RUclipsr. Thanks..
EDIT: Love from the North east - Sunderland
AYYYY WE LOVE THE NORTH EAST
(ps thank you for your really kind comment!)
Test yourself! I find that to be super helpful. I usually study by learning/revising a concept, then writing it down on a notebook/whiteboard. It's usually illegible to anyone else, but it helps me make sure I really remember it.
#11: stop smoking weed instead of revising 💀
yooo recognised Yule right away! I thought I was the only one!
THEY PLAYED THIS AT MY SIXTH FORM COLLEGE JUST NOW.
That just proves your tips are amazing. They surely got me motivated to go and revise for my three A Levels ❤️
Slightly awkward, and may be a little weird, but I’ve been binge watching your videos every since I discovered you! I’ve not been so fascinated by a RUclips channel in a long time! You’ve literally inspired me to actually revise. You seem like a genuinely supportive person! Good job ☺️☺️☺️
Aaaahhhh I love that - thank you so much! This comment has made my day ☺️☺️
No because I watch your new videos, and did in 2021 too, and i was SURE i recognised you when our teacher showed us this last year but i couldn't put my finger on it 😭
You have no idea how much this helps! i’m getting so distracting and i’m nowhere near ready to do an exam next month!!!
I think you may have just saved my A Levels!!!! WOW words cant describe how grateful am of this video!!!!
Thank youuu for this video, whenever I’m having a negative moment I’m just going to remember your positivity that anything is attainable achievable and I can do anything I set my mind to!! 👍🏻👍🏻
1000000%, that’s the spirit 💪🏼
For notes personally I take one book to class that I scribble everything in ignoring bullet points and order, then I’d go home and in a seperate book write the same things out but in order and draw cute titles it really helps me remember. Thank u for the forest app I’m about to install it :)
"I used to put my phone in the bread bin" classic jack ! Aha
Why am I in love with this guy
guys forest really works well... I honestly would've only done an hour of revision rather than 4 a day, but as said the more time you revise doesn't mean it is efficient and I'll work more on that! my mocks are next week and I really wish I can get As or even A*s =,, wish me luck and I'll wish you all luck too for your exams! ( now I gotta get back to work ahah)
i hope it went well !!
Point 1 so right! Planning you revision is so so important! You will do so much better and spend way less time if you make yourself a game plan! Start with an overall weekly timetable and track your progress within each subject making sure you allow for space repetition
you’re so underrated !! love this ♡
Aw thank you very much! ☺️☺️
i am starting my alevels next year; politics, history and business studies. it's nice to see someone with similar options as me! this video is super helpful ☺️
Thank you so much for the tips you have shared especially as exams are near. Making essay plans really works and helps me remember the information
Good luck! 😊
I’ve taken notes from this video because I’m majorly stressing out about GCSEs (even though I only have three this year) and I feel like I’m not prepared. Thanks for helping!
this year is the perfect preparation, and gives you a lot more confidence for next year! good luck, you’ll smash it 👏🏼
Wasn't sure how helpful this would be as I take more maths and science orientated subjects which are Scottish Advanced Higher but these tips are actually still really relevant and useful.
However might be a tad ironic that I'm watching this to procrastinate revision.
ah I’m glad - I tried to make them quite transferable to all subjects as I know that mine were all very much essay-based, so this is very reassuring! thank you ❤️
These tips are so hecking useful. I’m taking my A levels in about two months and now I’m more motivated than ever to do well. That’s it I’m subscribing to him he’s freaking awesome
You are a real solid lad I'm currently in my Gcses and I must say this also helps me out haha so thank you xx you know to be informative clear and motivating
Have a lovely day to you too
Watching this video getting tips for revision for my Btec exam next week and a notification pops up at the top saying its been cancelled... great timing.
Ahh exams are looming... I’m so scared. Thank you Jack for posting this at a very convenient time haha. Also Durham university looks sooo amazing and it just motivates me to want to go to a Russel Group university 😅X
You’re more than welcome - I hope these tips help! You can anything you put your mind to - any uni would be lucky to have you 💪🏼
Jack Edwards omg agh so nice!! Thank you Jack, as always :) x
Good luck going to a Russel group with your many facilitating subjects 😂
JAAAAAAAAACKKKKKKKK watchibg this after deciding my a level choices and remembering im gonna do the same ones as you (+French) and this is a life saver for bith GCSEs and calming my anxiety for next year. The school im off to is rrally high pressured im scared im not enough to be as smart as the other girls. So thank youuuuu
This video is just what I needed 😊 thank you so much. Alevels are sooo hard there’s so much new content which keeps adding up !!
Honestly all the content only truly clicked for me a couple of weeks / days before the exam so don’t panic! You’ve got this 💪🏼
Jack Edwards thank you so much it’s not that I’m not doing well I just feel overwhelmed thank you so much xxx
This is so helpful. I started my A levels this school year and it was so much harder than I expected and it’s so hard to find a good way to revise and stay focused.
Wow aren’t I glad I stubbled across you. You’re so upbeat and manage to make revision sound good fun. Immediate subscribe. Thanks!!👌🏻🤓
Waheeeey thank you very much!
Ahh stumbled* ayy I clearly don’t do English lit anyway, science gal right here haha;)
There are so many good tips in this video... but the main point is that if you put this much effort into your studies, not matter how you do it, you will do well.
So this is EXACTLY what i need for my next week😃 Thank you so so much💙
Ayyyy you’re welcome! Good luck next week, you’ve got this 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Jack Edwards thank you😄 i'll try my best
Wow your bedroom seems to be really aesthetic and relaxing!
These tips are gold, thanks 😄
Thank you so much! As a new year 12 that's aiming for medical school, this is very so. Even though I don't do any of the subjects you do, the thing I struggle the most is how not to procrastinate, I'll try out some of these tips. And may I add this tip that helped me during GCSE's and that's do past papers, they help immensely.
Watch the video for 0.75 speed it will feel normal 😊
I still dont know how to make my own flashcards and memorize all the facts in the flashcards...but last year when I watched your video (actually I've watched this videos like 5 time to get some motivations and adviser...but your tips does helped me alot for my GCSE which is a miracle for me and it just blew my mind and heart out...thank you so much & now I'm waiting for the application in sixth form or A-Levels
Will definitely use some of these for my master's midterms!
good luck!!! 😊
Thank you!!
