- Very soon it is gonna seem like the only thing
that people at school are talking about
is UCAS and universities.
Because for some of you the deadline is approaching
very, very quickly.
We are back to school in September
and if you're applying to Oxbridge
or if you're applying to medicine then the deadline
is in a few weeks time, the 15th of October.
For the rest of you, you have until January,
but a large, large number of UCAS applications
go in between Christmas and January
and by then a large, large number of the places
have already been given out.
You guys know that I have done so, so many videos
and look, I also wrote a massive, massive,
whopping book for you on how to apply to university.
I take you through right from the very, very beginning
from how to pick a university, how to pick a course,
do you really need to go to university
or can you do an apprenticeship instead?
Medicine, Oxbridge, there's stuff in there
which you need to know now before the deadline.
There's also stuff on open days and interviews
and loads and loads of other, like, student experiences,
what people wished they knew, going through adjustment,
results day and picking a university
and stuff like that, so.
This time of year is swamped, is overwhelmed
with UCAS and university applications
and I am trying to do so, so much to help you
so that's there.
Sometimes it can feel really, really overwhelming
because you're being asked to make these massive,
massive decisions and you don't really know
what you wanna do tomorrow, let alone what you
wanna do for the rest of your life.
So it's hard, it's really, really hard,
but I'm gonna do as much as I can to help you out.
So as we're moving into Year 13 with your subjects
I am expanding my A-level stuff absolutely massively,
so this year I am hoping to cover biology,
chemistry, physics, maths, geography, psychology
and sociology as well.
All of this is gonna be in the same format
that it was for GCSEs, so free revision guide,
the whole topic videos, predicted papers
over on my website for you to download.
There's also gonna be quizzes and progress trackers
over on my website as well for you.
So that I am gonna be here with you the whole way through,
trying to help you as much as possible.
Now one of the problems with this course
is that it is a massive two-year course
and there's a lot, a lot of stuff to cover.
So all the stuff that you did at the start of Year 12,
please start revising it now.
I know revising for your exams feel like a really,
really long way away, but I want you to try
and think back to Year 11 when, beginning of Year 11,
you thought your exams were a really, really
long way away and now they're not.
Or, like, they snuck up on you really, really quickly.
So please just try and get yourself as prepared
as possible for this year.
It is hard, I'm gonna be here helping you
as much as I can.
If you want to find yourself a tutor
then now would be the very, very best time to do it,
because they get booked up, they get busy
really, really quickly.
All the good tutors that I know are basically
full already for this year.
There's a link over on my website where you can go
and see the people that I recommend for tutoring.
I'm full for this year.
Loads of people that I work with are already
full for this year, so there is no point
leaving it until just before the exams
because then people really,
really won't have any space left.
So good luck guys, I'm gonna be here with you
the whole way through.
If there's anything else I can do to help you
just let me know.
