There are so many \u2018what ifs\u2019 and&nbsp;confusing&nbsp;thoughts about your future.&nbsp;With this in mind, I&nbsp;would&nbsp;like to give you a few&nbsp;tips&nbsp;that may&nbsp;make it&nbsp;that little bit&nbsp;less confusing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Know your skills and think about the subjects you are good at&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I knew that my brain&nbsp;wasn\u2019t&nbsp;particularly mathematically&nbsp;orientated&nbsp;and&nbsp;that&nbsp;my skills were more suited to essay writing&nbsp;subjects.&nbsp;I took this into consideration when I chose my A-levels and decided on English language and Psychology.&nbsp;Looking back, I know that I&nbsp;would\u2019ve&nbsp;struggled a lot more&nbsp;(and probably wouldn\u2019t have got as good grades)&nbsp;if I hadn\u2019t thought about this&nbsp;and dived into&nbsp;Physics, for example.&nbsp;Choosing the right A-levels that play to your strengths is a good first step to achieving the grades you want.&nbsp;If you&nbsp;aren\u2019t&nbsp;sure what you are strong at, why not ask your teachers or support staff at school\/college?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"902\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2020\/09\/fresher-helper-2-1024x902.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2020\/09\/fresher-helper-2-1024x902.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2020\/09\/fresher-helper-2-300x264.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2020\/09\/fresher-helper-2-768x677.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2020\/09\/fresher-helper-2-1536x1353.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2020\/09\/fresher-helper-2-2048x1804.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Consider subjects you enjoy&nbsp;and&nbsp;have an interest in&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Trust me when I say, it is a lot easier to motivate yourself to work hard and revise for content that you enjoy.&nbsp;Sometimes the&nbsp;work can feel twice as heavy if you&nbsp;feel like you&nbsp;are having to force yourself to study.&nbsp;It\u2019s&nbsp;also good to be aware that&nbsp;what you are good at may not necessarily be the same subjects that you enjoy. So,&nbsp;it is important to think about my first two tips&nbsp;together&nbsp;as one&nbsp;and try to find a&nbsp;balance of your skills and&nbsp;what you&nbsp;enjoy.&nbsp;Personally, my PE A-level was the perfect balance of these&nbsp;two&nbsp;things&nbsp;(and also&nbsp;a good example of my experience with tip number 4!).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Focus on&nbsp;what\u2019s&nbsp;best for&nbsp;YOU&nbsp;and not what your friends have chosen&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It may be tempting to try&nbsp;to&nbsp;get in the same classes as your friends, particularly if it is a new college or sixth form where you may not know many people.&nbsp;However,&nbsp;A-levels that may be&nbsp;suited to&nbsp;your friends,&nbsp;their&nbsp;skills&nbsp;and their futures,&nbsp;may not be&nbsp;suited&nbsp;to&nbsp;you.&nbsp;Besides, meeting new people at this stage is great practice for future workplaces and for university.
