“SOMEHOW I managed to get 3 A*s”... Jade... hard work, organisation and dedication is how you did!!
And also ✨naturally smart✨
@@ziy4dp713 I’m being serious being smart means nothing cus it’s all about memeory retention
@@Terry-xu5zu Being naturally smart matter. Genetics matter. There are some people who ace exams consistently with little revision and there are some people who consistently revise properly yet get lower grades consistently. This is not a coincidence.
@@sakhawatrahman4961 You're actually right. I know I shouldn't be saying this, but I didn't revise that much (well for my standards I didn't) and I still got 14 A*s last Thursday in my GCSEs. Its because I think I'm naturally smart. My classmates have been saying that to me since Year 7 🤷♂️
If you did ocr A is their any UA-camr a home student can watch
"If ur struggling, struggle harder"😍😍love that
me: literally in the middle of a chemistry degree
also me: trying to take this advice
Same here lol
same it can be soo confusing lolll
Pro tip from an AS chemistry student: when you have a long, complicated, wordy calculation thats like 6 marks. Do what you can first! Don’t worry about what happens after and so on, just start with the calculations given and work your way through. Also, do all your mechanisms on a white board in front of your teacher after school or at lunch- they’ll help you if you get it wrong. Good luck!
I’m self teaching myself maths and science I’m 38 yr old and I hope some day if I get the money I can go and stop study math and science, I use khan academy, pdfs and cosmolearn.
good job i am proud of you
Good job
I got a B overall for chem AS lads, was 3 marks of an A🥳
Jazz Singh well done 💛
Aneesa Hussain ty 💙
i got a D on one paper and an A on the other so same got a B overall
프랭키 u legend!!💙
@@JazzSingh congrats!!!
I haven't commented in awhile, but i love to see you helping others with their a-levels, and you really helped me last year. Your gorgeous and an inspiration.
Thank you so much for keeping it real. It's really easy to just show the 'good' side (the results) without showing all the hard work that went behind them. You're an inspiration!
Hey Jade! Just wanted to say that your videos are AMAZING! I love them, you got me out of a dark part of my life with your other videos, I feel so content and motivated now, thanks to you! You are so talented, beautiful and smart and each video you post is changing someone's life. Thanks a million!!
Had a chemistry AS mock exam today & came out feeling so so deflated - I found it so hard & although it was only a mock, I just had a little cry, I thought I'd got it down but perhaps not. This was extremely helpful or especially will be for next year. Thank you Jade ✨💗
Hi this was me today I got my mock result back😪 just curious what did u get for your final a level result?
This was me a few days ago!!! Now I’m just waiting for my results 😬
Hey jade!!! You're such an inspiration with your proactive efforts especially towards tough and challenging subjects 🌺
thank you so much for posting such videos they literally keep me going during exam session
I'm a nervous newbie in the first few weeks of yr 12 already getting bummed by A levels, and wanting to keep on top of things like work and my mindset, unlike in high school, and recently I've just found your videos, and they've been really insightful and motivating, especially with chemistry that I didn't want but need to do, so thank you!!!😊🌸✨
"My brain does not like the shapey stuff" GIRL SAME. I physically cannot visualise molecules!! 😩😂Got my first A level chem exam on the 4th of June, pray for meeee 😂x
I have mine on the 4th toooo good luck!
@@samx4135 ahhh good luck to you too!! Got my fingers crossed for the both of us! x
Good luck! I’m doing chem for a levels this July and I am not looking forward to it 😬 it’ll probably be my worst subject oof
Mrs potato Peel thank you!! Good luck to you too with Chem - it’s so hard haha but as Jade shows, not impossible!
Mines on 4th too- inorganic and physical
Good luck
Thank you for sharing Jade. Well done for your tenacity and gift of sharing your journey.
You are such a determined person. Thank you for your videos since it really helps me to be more productive
My ears are bleeding from how many times someone has told me on UA-cam and at school to print out the specification 😭😂
different people different methods of studying maybe u need other technique that might help you
Where can I find the specification?
Eren Altuğ search ‘ *your exam board* chemistry a level specification’ and it should come up on google
We only have to print the page with the actual specs right? cuz it's like 92 pages O-O
4 years later and this video is still helpful!! thank you so much jade this really helped reassure me as exams are coming up!❤️❤️❤️
I’m currently doing alevel chemistry & I have my mock exams coming up! This is such a big help, thank you Jade! 💛
Hey, how did it go
I literally can't wait for the maths vid! Thank you sooo much Jade!! You are totally unjaded!
I actually cried at the end bro it’s so relatable and the amount of times I’ve been desperate to drop AND IM ONLY IN YEAR 12
How is it going?
Big congrats! Keep up and I look forward to hearing more from your experiences!
Thank you so much for your advice 💗
I started an 8 month online science access course recently and I have just discovered that I'm a kinesthetic learner. I haven't studied properly since school, which was 22 years ago...! Being sat at home alone, in front of a laptop is incredibly difficult for me. I have become overwhelmed by the amount of content to look at and it's put me off studying. I will take your advice and keep trying 💪
I hate organic! My first chemistry Alevel exam is on the 4th june☹️
Same good luck
How did it go
Better than I expected, so hopefully I've done well 😊🤞🏻
Imogen Brown what did u get
@@ianbeale1208 I got a C which isn't bad but not what i had hoped x
I love your revision techniques, I do the exact same thinggg😭😭so nice to here I’m somewhat doing the right thing 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Tysm for this video jade! I've been struggling for some time in chem now and i almost gave up but this video really motivated me
Thanks a lot, I’m not at A levels yet but I’m doing my GCSEs your methods were actually better compared to any others I’ve tried. My teachers said this was all great, thanks again you really released my stress
Ahhhhh I have my chemistry/science exams in a few days and this could not have come at a better time!! I swear Jade is literally holding my exam week together hahah. Thank you so much for this, I'm going to make some herbal tea and watch the amazingness that is Jade's revision tips ❤💜💙💚
I have a chemistry exam tomorrow and I definitely find past papers to be the most effective method. It's very frustrating though because we are the second year of the new spec so there are only two past papers available (last year's and the specimen)
An actual lifesaver!!! LOVE YOU JADE💗💗💗💗
I don’t even do chemistry but here I am!!! Revising with you in the background is where it is at tho!! ⭐️
Excellent video, very insightful, and congratulations on what you've achieved. Thank you.
Omg , I have a chemistry 🧪 exam tomorrow ❤️🤗thanks for posting this
All the best!!
Sai Rainbow Studio thanks
All the best x!! You've got this.
same
I’m so fucked honestly I can’t wait to just stop doing chemistry and physics in college.
oh my god...thank you so much for recommending chemrevise. like seriously. i have my semesters coming up and honestly I am not prepared at all. but using the websites that you suggested helped me save my tears and cram less. thank you so much!!!
DUDE this helped me SO MUCH. Like I'm not bad at chemistry, I'm actually one of the best students in my class but I know other students from other schools who literally remember the definition of everything and always know what the teacher is talking about and are always one step ahead and I wish I could be that too. I don't really study that much for chemistry since I'm already not bad but I should be studying more if I want to reach my goal. I just didn't know how to remember those frckng definitions but your technique is very smart, thank you very much!
doing a level chemistry right now, well done on the A* wow i am in awe
Thanks for all the help, you helped me for my English exam today :)
i love you jade, just, like, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH
Brilliant advice, many thanks Jade.
Love that technique of blurting! Think I'll try it myself!
You have no clue how much this helped! My AS level chemistry was a bit of disaster and I’m going to really crush it in my A levels
Ah ha! I was on a unjaded jade binge and this came up! I'm taking chemistry for the first time next year so this is great, thanks Jade!
this is soo useful thanks so much i was stuck like how am i supposed to revise but then i think the methods u told may help me ill try it !
JADE IS ABSOLUTELY KILLING THE GAME!! I am really super inspired by your revision strategies and your results! You are absolutely slaying the studying game!!🔥🔥🙌🤩😂
Hi Jade! I only found your channel this week and wanted to say your "how to write A*/8/9 English lit essays" video helped me SO MUCH in my English lit paper 1 GCSE exam today (ik this isn't that video but there's a better chance you'll see my comment on here)
Thank you so so much!! Loving all your content - I'm hopefully taking biology, chemistry and maths next year as well so will be sure to stick around 😂💜 xx
YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE LIFE SAVER! I just finished my midterms and the only thing i screwed up was my chemistry
Finallllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyy! I was waiting sooooo long for this!
Struggling so much with chem and bio and dpesnt help my mental health is quite bad at the moment.
same honestly. it's like feeling like shit combined with the stress of not knowing anything in chem and bio makes everything so much more stressful. But I'm going to be going to tuitions this summer and hopefully I'll sort my AS and A2 stuff out
Bethany Hankinson ugh tell me about it honestly sounds like we’re in the same boat. It was so hard for be going from my grade 8-9 science gcse to failing with E’s and U’s in bio and chem a level. Not a clue how I’ll manage to pick myself up for the real exams lol.
Katie Jones literally how I feel, I put in what I thought was a lot of work, and in my last end of chapter test I got 30%. Yet I got an 8 at gcse. My head is all over the place and biology doesn’t make it any easier.
@@Junior-zf7yy so what u guys get lol
3 years later, how are you doing? How did you do? Sounds very relatable lol 🥲
THANKYOU SM FOR THE RESOURCES!! It's really hard to find them, esp. for a levels
my first chem exam is on the 4th, and I'm still getting Es... good times
how did you do?
How did you do?
How did you do, Ellie?
Thank you so much for this ❤
Much motivated for tomorrow exam
This was really helpful! Thank you so much for sharing :)
I was _just_ studying Chemistry for my GCE O level atp paper tommorow! This would be motivating, even though i am not in A levels.
ayesha siddiqa same here but I’m really struggling with organic chemistry
Thanks Jade! This was really helpful ☺️☺️
I have a test this week and an exam in June! Thank you for this!
I do the CCEA spec for chemistry and I've got about 4 or 5 AQA past paper question booklets because theres so many more of them than the CCEA spec. I managed to do long revision pages once i finished each chapter and 2 weeks before my mock i condensed all of it down into one notebooks, so it was just prompt words, definitions and specific questions that i had to draw out equations for. I colour coded the entire notebook so during my exam i would see certain words in the question, link it to a colour from that chapter and recall information that way. Chemistry is by far my worst subject, but I've found videos like this, lectures and additional books really helpful.
I have a levels cie at the end of the year and i was so lost because time is going by way too fast And also was unwilling to attempt any paper since i was afraid of failing at doing the questions. But now that i've watched your video, i just want to go practice one paper right away :) you're truly a blessing Jade, in the lives of many!
Do you have any advice on consistency? This is what i struggle with the most unfortunately 😕
I had my UCAS exam today As paper 2, and the enthalpy of combustion definition came up😉definitely going to do a lot more active recall to solidify my mechanics and practical knowledge after not doing my best today, but I've still got a year to improve, trying to look at the positives❤️
I was PRAYING you would do one of these. I'm currently in year 12 and I started a level Chem almost a term late so am currently working at basically an E. But they use our grades from our end of year exams as our UCAS predicted grades and can only bump them up a grade so safe to say I am STRESSINGGG
Jade ur sooooo amazing thank you soooo much today I got a grade 8 in my chemistry paper
Can you plz make a similar video for maths and English literature
shaaadowww zx I agree because I have my maths resit next week
She didn't do English literature in the 2nd year of a levels.
Yes maths!!!
Me who has only 3 months until exams: *frantically watches all her videos*
Try 17 hours
@@ellbeveridge7256 yea rip for u
i love how chem is also the bane of my life that i almost voluntarily rolled into an oncoming bus last week an yo woodlouse out here rewatching this in december of y13 ;~;
I have my GCSE chemistry (the international one as I live in the Middle East) tomorrow and I am sooo stressed about it so thank you for posting this❤️❤️❤️
How did it go? I'll be having my IGCSEs this year (I'm from Spain btw)
Thanks for the tips👍👍It was really helpful 💙
Thank you so much for your videos they motivate me ❤
Thank you so much for this.
My exam is tomorrow and this is so helpful.
Guys good luck if you have it let's ace it. Even though I'm not ready but we have to do it.
Chemguide is the best chemistry resource, especially for A level - the site has a chemguideforcie section which is specifically for the Cambridge syllabus.
I'm going to take chemistry at a-level next year and I'm really hoping these tips help!! The chem gcse exam is tomorrow so hopefully it goes well! ❤️
I hope you ace it ❤️
You’ll ace it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just a heads up, it's hella hard😂
Haha thankyou for all the goodluck! Goodluck to everyone else doing the exam!
@@betsyanna Literally if u do this youll do sick in a-level chem, if id have known to do these tips a year and a half ago id be reyt but its now 2 weeks to my exam sooo ahahah
Watching this one day before my a level chemistry exam 😭to get motivated !
Great video i really needed it!!! By the way the definition was right😊
I'm not really sure why I'm watching this video as I'm just about to finish the second year of a Chemistry degree now... but I agree with all of your tips, and organic chemistry is still a tricky topic for me but it's literally all about practice and repetition with mechanisms
Thank you so much for this ❤️
Good luck for GCSE chemistry 2019 tomorrow guys !
I‘m gonna go practice for my chem exam now ! 👏
thanks for this jade! im currently cramming alevel chemistry for an exam tomorrow, hoping it’ll go well. ccea chemistry is bad- i did aqa chemistry at gcse though
Please do a video for A level maths !!!! 💗💗
I sat my advanced higher chemistry last week and this video would have been so helpful a few weeks earlier haha
This was so helpful! How did you find second year content compared to first year? We’re starting second year topics now and I’m so scared that it’s going to be much more challenging than this years content😰😂
I wish I’d see this video half a year ago as my exam is in like 4 days and I’m crying every day about it
Absolutely loveeee Unjaded Jadee😋🌼
Wowoowow two videos in a day !!
also allery chemisrty on youtube is great! but you'd need to pair this with PMT's videos because sometimes i feel that allery chemistry doesn't really cover every single thing.
hii jade, is it possible for you to let us see the organic reactions map that you were holding? thank you ☺️
if you do OCR A chemistry - Mr Dunkley has great videos covering the whole spec!!
I'm going into year 12 next year, what advantages does OCR Chem have over aqa?
I'm doing my chemistry gcse tomorrow. So nervous! I'd like to do chemistry A level so I need pretty high. An a* is amazing
Hope to see one of these vids for maths A-level👌
I’m an electrician but have just enrolled in Chemistry, Biology and Physics A-levels, with the view to undertaking a degree in veterinary medicine. My study pack comes on Friday and I’m super excited. This video is a massive help... a long journey ahead I feel! Wish me luck 😅
Unless your an expert in maths don’t take chemistry and especially phyriscs. Both subjects are basically maths and if your not an expert in it. A* in gcse maths then your going to struggle like hell
@@madlaz5795 yh the maths in chem is somewhat hard, even in gcse level lol
Idk why am watching this, i alredy did my chem exam, i jus love Jade. I remember hating the hell out of chem, it was my worst subject. Did end up doing really well tho
Thank you very very very much Jade.
You’re Awesome❤❤❤
GSCE chemistry tomorrow guyzz
we will smash it !!
its never too late
💀💀💀I've been too depressed to function since I started AS and now mocks are a few days away and my anxiety is through the roof.
Fuck my life 🚮🚮🚮 don't know how I'm gonna get through this.
Hi jade🥰🥰 pls could u do a video based on A-Level Maths kind of in the same format .. I’m taking it in september and it would really help 🥰
I'm watching this rn even though my a levels are actually cancelled hoping I'll actually get to give them in October.
So jade do you think from right now to October is enough time to practice your methods and get a decent grade in chemistry?
This would be really helpful for maths a level! Also do you have any tips on how to stay motivated to revise while on study leave if you’re feeling run down because I’m on study leave this week and all my exams are next week but I’ve been ill all week (maybe stress related?) but it’s so hard to stay focussed 💖
finished my A2 chemistry few days ago but im still watching this cuz it's JADE❤️
Synthetic routes are the bane of my existence
Thanks for this I should be starting chem in September and I’m coming from combined so I’m scared but this is clear
Girl please do English Literature. It’s killing me rn. Would love your advice x
