Surviving Sixth Form is quite an achievement, even more so if you’re also planning to go to university. It’s a very dynamic period in a young person’s life and lots of potential opportunities will start to make themselves known. Understanding what to do next will be challenging for you, especially if you are applying to universities so you must take advantage of the advice that’s available to you. Here are some tips from a senior school in Hertfordshire.
Firstly and arguably most importantly, you need to think long and hard about the subject you would like to go on to study at university. If you’ve come this far, you’re probably already aware of what degree subjects you’re a levels might lead to and what grades are required. However, don’t just choose a subject that you think naturally follows on from your a levels; you need to choose something that you enjoy and are truly passionate about, but also that you’re good at. Don’t set yourself up for failure or unhappiness.
