A message to all the future year 11's out there: Do not start stressing about how your failing certain subjects just because you got a poor grade in your mocks, i started year 11 of with a grade 3 in RS and ended up with a grade 9 in my GCSE's. If i done it, so can you !
I'm about to start year 11 and I do NOT feel ready at all. I feel like I'm way too young, and I'm worried about whether I'll be motivated enough to actually do revision. Even during this summer I've found it hard to make myself sit down and do any work.
i haven't done any revision yet, and i'd like to say that i will but knowing myself i won't. also need to do my media coursework while i'm on vacation fml
Thank god I'm not the only one! I started writing title pages for revision for science and maths but only because I enjoy laying it out neatly. After writing things out I don't go over them so everything has just gone over my head. Really not ready for year 11
what you said about competing with people to make others feel bad really touched me as i get really sensitive about my grades and what others get, but after watching this im going to walk into year 11 open minded and focusing on me and my grades. im no longer going to worry about pleasing other people but do what i want to do! thank you laur xoxox
just finished year 11 but guess what here i am because i cant get enough of you haha x but also im curious to hear your personal experience so here i am 🧚🏼♀️
I keep panicking and crying not gonna lie and I feel like I can’t talk to my friends as they’re all gonna get 9’s without revising at all and just don’t understand but this video helped a bit so thank you x
I'm just scared about the maths gcse cuz I don't understand the way my teacher teaches it 😭 Also feel like I have to get all A*s to beat my big bro cuz he got all As n A*s
1- Exams are not the end of the world - Don't overthink, try to enjoy it and don't compare yourself. 2- Make notes as you go along - do them after school so you'll only have to revise it by GCSEs. 3- Get out of friendship drama and toxic people - focus on your education & surround yourself with positivity. 4- Don't compare yourself - ignore people who brag too. 5- Push through it - it'll go by very quickly and you won't need to go through it ever again so do your best. 6- Make sure you cover the entire specification - make checklists and do small things every week to get your resources done by April.
I’m about to start year 11 and I’ve watched so many videos like these adopted new skills and how I can change my lifestyle to reduce stress they’ve helped me so much but then I came across yours and I thought let me give it a watch I’ve absolutely loved yours and i don’t know why but your video was very relatable I felt like you were my future self giving myself advice on going into year 11 this was great and I loved it 💕I recommend everyone to screenshot every tip she has made and remind yourself of it I finally feel like I’m ready for the year 🎉🤗
Thank you so much!!!! Excellent advice!!!! I will certainly be using this as I will be starting year 11 in September!!! This is genuinely the best year 11 tips/hacks/advice video that I have seen yet!
This video could not of come at a better time. I’m going into year 11 this year and I am feeling extremely unprepared and a little anxious as it’s coming closer and closer. Thank you so much for this Laura!! 💗💗
make notes throughout that year cause like by the end of year 10 its way too much stuff to go over at once. Also ask your teachers for the specification cause that can help you stay organised.
while you have time: MAKE NOTES ON UR YEAR 9 STUFF. trust me. just do it. once you get to your mocks you will NOT want to look back on the stuff you did in year 9 lol. good luck b you'll be fine
The other week I was having a mental breakdown to one of my teacher and she just sighed, and went “honestly GCSE’s don’t even matter” and I was like thanks queen what a babe xx
Wow this has got to be one of the best videos about back to school. Everything u said was relevant and yet calming? I’ve been stressing a lot about year 11 and what you’ve said rlly put things into perspective. Thanks for that 💙
“If you are not well mentally or physically, you have to work on that” Omgg thank you, I needed to hear this. As someone struggling with mental health issues, it’s so hard to find the motivation to study and do my work. I can barely get out of bed and then looking at others working hard while I’m unable to get my shit together makes me feel worthless :/
i told myself when i went into year 11 that i will have all my revision cards and notes finished before may and june yet i was basically teaching myself all the content for the exam the night before. they say you shouldn’t cram but i did and it worked and i ended up getting two 9s, three 8s, a 7, two 6s and two 5s :) good luck you’re gonna need it!
ur such a preach! I think that we should all put our health before our exams as well because if you are stressing about your exams and you do your exams it can affect you as a person so I also think that throughout year 11 doing meditation, practicing self love and self care can really help with making you feel better about yourself and it can really uplift you 💖
I'm going into year 11 in September and found this video really helpful, realistic and calming. thank you for your help and I hope you get the results you deserve x
We had mock mocks just before the summer and these were my grades: (I didn’t do one for French or computer science) Maths: 7 English Literature: 5 English Language: 6 Biology: 6 Chemistry: 6 Physics: 5 History: 4 Honestly, I’m happy with that however my history really let me down. I’m not going to say I did an awful lot of revision as we only found out a week in advance and my teacher has 1 day off each week which is really frustrating considering I would have liked higher. If I can replicate what I did for the other subjects to get a grade higher at the end of year 11, that would be great. Your tips really helped me, Laura, so thank you for that. Now I’m not as nervous as I was xx
Thank you so much for this video, it felt very heart-felt. It is nice to get advice for someone who works hard for their own goals and not for the grades. Love you xxxx
I’m watching this the night before school, I start year 11 tomorrow, thank you so much for this video, I feel a lot more relaxed now Xx anyone else going into year 11? Xx
I’ve just finished year 13 and I think you’re advice for year 11 is spot on! A levels are different in the aspect of the amount of pressure but I’d even say some of this advice is helpful for year 12. Well done you! Xxx
This is so helpful for me as I’m going into year 11, I’m so stressed about it becasue i really don’t know what to expect. Thank you so much for all of the tips and advice towards year 11.
thank you so much for this video laur! ive been watching your channel since your first video and as someone whos in the year below you, youve not only helped me but inspired me throughout my gcses. i wish you the best ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This was so helpful! I've been really anxious about going into year 11 and have been stressing myself out with trying to make sure to work this summer before year 11. This has given me the motivation to continue working to achieve my goal and view this work as something that is necessary for my future and not something boring or "a waste of time" 😂lol . Anyway I want to thank you for this video and all your study videos and I wish you all the best for results day and am looking forward to watching your future videos as your channel develops and changes as you start college. Francesca x
OMG Laur that was amazing!! You said some amazing advice which should really help all the yr11s! Wish we had something like that for when we went to yr11 !
Ive only just started watching you and honestly this is an amazing video. When you spoke about mental health and not aiming for 8s it gave me shivers 💗💗💗such an amazing video xxx
This was so helpful to watch, so thank you. Your advice gave me more motivation to try harder and not procrastinate because to be honest, I do that all of the time 😮. Thank you again☺️
Thank you for making this video, it has helped me so much and I'm so much more confident in going back to school and into year eleven now thank you 😊 xx
ive been struggling with anxiety for a while now and that has caused me to have a low attendance going in to year 11. all of my teachers are saying that i shouldn’t stay off but i dont listen to them because im putting myself first. and i know when im not mentally well enough to be in school :)
This is so inspiring, thank you so much 💕 I haven't done any work over the summer, and my school told me to revise...but I'll try my best when I start.
Some of our teachers hate us writing down notes in notebooks, they say we aren't paying attention. Dude... If I'm not paying attention to what is being said, what the hell am I writing down then!!?? Honestly, this video helped soo much, thanks!
Thank you for this, I'm going into year 11 in september and I'm kinda worried, but for a slightly different reason compared to the average student. I have chronic pelvic pain, so I miss quite a bit of school. I can't control it, it's just how it is! But I'm so scared that it's going to hold me back, and I won't be able to reach my full potential - the grades I know I should be able to get. It's like I'm at a disadvantage before I've even begun!

This was so helpful, thank you. I feel so nervous for year 11 and my exams but this has helped so much ❤️❤️
We had mock mocks just before the summer and these were my grades: (I didn’t do one for French or computer science)
Maths: 7
English Literature: 5
English Language: 6
Biology: 6
Chemistry: 6
Physics: 5
History: 4
Honestly, I’m happy with that however my history really let me down. I’m not going to say I did an awful lot of revision as we only found out a week in advance and my teacher has 1 day off each week which is really frustrating considering I would have liked higher.
If I can replicate what I did for the other subjects to get a grade higher at the end of year 11, that would be great. Your tips really helped me, Laura, so thank you for that. Now I’m not as nervous as I was xx

loved this- sometimes people go on about how gcses are the end of the world but mental healthy and wellbeing is much more
Yes but most people can do both
I actually feel so much calmer about going into Year 11 now, thank u so much and love this! xx
