Intro

so students have just finished their exams in in the main I believe apart from maybe a few strange exams that arekicking around oh yeah not not the year fives yeah yeah year 11s have you yeah year11s year 13s 13s Y how do you think they should move forward from this how shouldthey spend their summer there’s obviously going to be a big element of relief so I think some relax somerelaxation and some time off is definitely welld deserved mhm there is space for a little bit of workpreparing for you know the year after or maybe they’re going off to UNI for year13s um yeah I definitely think if you get a if you’re going up to University and you get your pre-reading you shoulddefinitely do that obviously that that that’s that will really help you for the most part it’sprobably a good time to sort of recharge yeah um cuz they’re probably feelingquite burnt out at this point A change is good is as good as rest so Ikind of think use those energies in different ways so you’ve been sort of studying all year sort of you can you’llhave a lot of pent up energy do something go on a holiday where you’reusing a lot of that excess energy spend time with friends that kind of thingespecially if you’re going off to University because a lot it’s kind of a a time when you might not see yourfriends anywhere near well you won’t see your friends anywhere near as much no Ithink that we did that quite a lot we spend quite a lot of time together during dur during that summer duringthat summer yeah before yeah I think all of us all of us did then like you do youdo go after uni and you sort of so caught up meeting new friends inthis new place this new yeah whole new life umand you probably keep in touch a little bit with some of your school friends yeah but not so much until yousort get back for Christmas and you’re all like you know back in your home place everybody else I went to C treefew a few times but you didn’t go to Birmingham but I guess I didn’t really do that much in Birmingham apart from Idon’t think I had like any massive parties I wasn’t really no I’m not this I’m talking about like the first yearyeah like in between school and yeah yeah I mean yeah second year third yearyou do like sort of reconnect a bit more and like go to other people’s universities and stuff so yeah we didthat yeah I I spent most of my first year in drunken Haze I think like can’ta lot of it yeah that was uh the first couple years for me as well yeah I rememberturning up to lectures blur hide yeah imagining what they were talking about and then sometimes falling asleepfalling asleep lecture me too so you said A change is as good as

Reflect and Recharge

rest Define what like explain what you mean by that well I often find that ifyou intensely go in One Direction and you’re focusing on something similar allthe time then sometimes just you’re not doing anything necessarilyless exhausting in its own way or or that doesn’t tie you out physicallybut just changing what you’re doing gives your mind a break from whatyou’ve been sort of stuck into so so how so what would be your balance betweendoing something different and actually resting well resting I don’t think youneed that much like sure get back into ahealthy routine like with sleep and that kind of thing although you probably alot of people probably don’t they go off and like um sleep till 1:00 2:00 yeahyeah um but you you you in reality you don’t need that much sleep it’s you you youget your eight hours you get your you might have a few Lings during the summerbut really it’s about doing new things I think that’s really what a rest is liketaking your mind off what you’ve been focusing on so muchinteresting so that would that help you to unwind recharge it helps me yeahhelps me for instance even in the job that we do I do s dancing orwhatever and that takes my mind off off this so it helps me actuallyd-stress because I’m not focusing on work when I’m doing that like you can’tyou just don’t have the mental space but that’s as good as a rest for me becauseI don’t feel like I’m working on that specific thing that you know I’ve usedmy mental energies on I’m turning my mind to something else some this might be part of myproblem well yeah maybe like hobbies are quite quite good yeah I seem to havelost mine over the years yeah no cuz we used to play badmin quite a bit yeah Istill do training and stuff like weight training but not yeah badmington wouldbe will be one but most of my actual Hobbies involve looking at a screen orthey did when I had Hobbies they involve looking at a screen so like photographyediting on screen producing music looking at a screen DJing looking at a screenproducing videos looking at a screen so it’s like and my downtime watchingloads of YouTube and stuff looking at a screen I mean a a hobby of mine is blogging and that involves looking atyeah at a screen but it’s a different it’s still turning your mind tosomething else but I do think yeah probably Rest In Your Eyes is also yeah nonscreen related is alsoimportant yeah I’m I’m I’m on a screen from like the moment I wake up to the moment I go tobed that’s with the exception of with the exception of like maybe lunchor going out yeah if I’m not having lunch in the office if I’m having lunch in the office it’s looking at a screenthat’s why I don’t like watching TV because I just it’s just more screen time and I’ve spent so much time on thescreen that want to do something well a lot of a lot of these year 11s year 13swill be probably gaming as well yeah I mean it it is again it’s adifferent different form of energy mental energy yeah different form of energy but stillscreen related yeah um I’ve stopped I mean I was never a massive gamer butI’ve stopped playing playing games and stuff I don’t think I’ve got time that’s the so Idon’t I don’t really again I’m not a massive gamer I do I enjoy enjoy the oddgame but I’m yeah the OD beit of Mario Kart or something yeah I won’t be uh Idon’t play games my phone either apart from like a daily Wordle I don’t even do that I’ve startedto again the last couple of months it’s good for your I mean like is is Directin a different mental energy it’s not which I think is the main thing it’s that that difference in mental energynot necessarily not using a screen or I mean but it’s like Roger federa wouldn’tgo okay I’m just going to play some tennis for fun he probably does enough ofthat oh i’ I’ve got a great idea I’m going to play tennis with my friends he probably goes nah I’m probably not goingto do that just directing that energy in a different way sortof helps you to recharge just take your mindus take your mind off like thepressure of something else some other P so obviously you’d we spoke about

Connecting with Friends and Family

looking at screens and you know doing your own personal hobbies and stuff what about friendsfamily those those people yeah those those those random people just hang hangaround with you all the time yeah yeah what do we do withthem um well yeah I I mean connecting with them as much as you can beforeespecially before University um in many in many cases alot of people go away for University and they’re not going to see their family as much they’re not going to see theirfriends as much um around and about so is probably a good idea to devote a atleast a little bit of that time to yeah it was tough I remember when cuz I was the first one to go off T like a week ortwo before everybody else and uh maybe I won’t say their name but one of ourfriends sort of like cried cuz I was leaving oh yeah I’ll tell you off camera I can’timagine that it’s probably not who you think is anyway um yeah they were like really sadthat I was going and it was like an emotional time for all of us to going our separate ways I think my dad when he was aroundhe he cried like just before I left well I don’t think anyone criedabout me that you know of probably not probably no one can’timagine no I wasn’t EXP they were just like bye I said bye andthat was it I can imagine that yeah yeah yeah but I called I called them and thatkind of thing so to keep in touch yeah so like weekly didn’t do every day that that’sjust not me that’s too much yeah so yeah there there’s that keeping keeping your uh sort of relationships familyfriendships all that stuff keeping it going over summer what about if you’re in year 11 or what if you’re even inyear cuz we’re talking spe we’re talking a lot about year 11s and 13s because they have the biggest change yeah but alot of this stuff will also apply to year three four five six seven eight they’ve had the most um I guessintensive period of of the school years so because they’ been i al 11 plus butthere comes later yeah there will be when the next school year startskind of unfortunate but like the like Christmas time I think for them is like they need good down good down time yeahum but yeah the unless they’re doing Independent Schools in which case they don’t have any Easter yeah um yeah so Ido think yeah they they they are special years because they they have that they have such an intense period of exams andthey’ve made it that way because they’ve the way they’ve changed the exams for alevel especially is that they were finals rather than split across the yearwhich was I think potentially better when when it was split up because it gives you a chance to retake if some ofthose exams don’t go as well so the year one exams you could retake them in likeJanuary I remember we we used to I think so yeah um so they’ve gotthis intense exam period so so it’s important for them to have a bit more downtime than some of the others um andactually for some of the other year groups they they prob it’s probably wise for them to do a little bit more work sothink I think we talked about year 10 and how they should actually makesure that they yeah they should utilize that time yeah because they’ve used they they usually have mock at the end ofyear 10 which gives some indication of the different areas where they struggle they should use a bit of that holidaytime to give them little step up for the uh yeah you knowsome there’s some people who do retakes um they end up doing say November retakes and I actuallythink it’s it’s s it’s because it’s so close to the previous year they don’thave enough time to prepare for the retakes if they’ve failed so if they dofail in um and they get their results then they have very small window inwhich to prepare for the next set of exams so if an exam did go really really badly um in maths andEnglish then it might be prudent to advise somestudents to take a little bit of time during that break to actually go backover um their their maths and their English just to prepare so that it’s notbecause it’s like November quite soon after having got the resultsto get there and it takes a lot to actually pass especially if it’s likeFoundation maths or something like that the the mark that you need to get is quite high so in those cases when youfeel like you’ve had a bad maths and English exam it could be worth especially based on your say mocksand and that kind of thing if you have you know got twos and in your mock thenin that case it might be prudent to actually prepare so another thing that you can do

Exploring New Hobbies and New Places

is explore new projects and hobbies MH do you have any I don’t know if you’vegot any things that you pursue during the holidaysspecifically uh you mean when I was yeah yeah or or yeah just at schoolgenerally or when you had a long break I didn’t really no I probably helped outwith um stuff at home like family family business andstuff helped out helped out there um but spent a lot of timeprobably going going out with friends I did the the only thing that I did was Ibut that was more as an adult so during Christmas I learned Chineselike but I I spent like three hours a day s of so is this when while you were atschool no this was just as an adult I was an adult um I don’t know if you’vedone that yeah as adult mine again was just just DJing and doingmusic yeah so yeah I don’t think I did anything particularly different duringholidays I just spent a bit more time with friends and yeah went on holidayswhich I suppose were that’s yeah yeah um went to new places that was the mainthing but obviously back then it was kind of up there a lot up to yourparents when when these whether these holidays holidays would happen yeah umbut I think my parents my mom in particular was always verywas very adamant that every year we’d we’d um go on at least oneholiday like every single year we’d go at least somewhere which I thought wasyou know it meant I saw a lot of the world I didn’t really do alot didn’t really do a lot of that yeah no we didn’t really do family holidays like that we didn’t really do familyyeah um yeah my my dad my dad wasn’t well hewasn’t able to travel so yeah we didn’t really do that my mom was working so I’deither go with cousins and stuff on holidayor you did have a lot of COV you do have quite a few relatives in theUK yeah yeah yeah in my case I didn’t so we had to sort of go we had to go abroadto actually see family oh no we just drive to Woodford yeah

Jobs, Internships, Volunteering and Community Service

yeah did you make any effort to increase your skills and experiencein or or volunteer during your summerholidays no no I don’t have the same mind now asI and I didn’t have the same mind I have now back then so I I didn’t do anymean I volunteered helping out again with family stuff uh so I was kind ofworking there yeah for for free but yeah no I never I neverdid never never worked for anybody else so I never done volunteering um I did do work experienceto HSBC in Canary wolf cuz my mom was working there so I did two weeks workexperience there after after my gcss we had to do that yeah yeah no it was during during maybe itwas like I think we we were year 11 I think yeah I I worked in a trade Union Iwrote a policy document of course he did um formaternity leave and they used it to negotiate with management where was this umexport credit fin was it export credit they they used to haveecgd something I don’t know I can’t remember it’s called the the basicallygovernment insurance right yeah it’s called export Finance now I think um but yeah I Iworked in the trade Union office and then did about 3 months worth of filingin the week it was it was insane this guy just had so much filing I just didall his fil yeah I think pretty much all of my tasks were filing related or like typingdocuments into a spreadsheet sort of thing I optimized a I think I optimized something that they were doing because II was like the way they were doing it didn’t make didn’t make complete sense and it was something to withspreadsheets like so I was like oh if they do that that saves a bit of timethat sort of stuff yeah I don’t remember what I was doing I was I I think I should have beenemployed did a well good job um but yeah I did that I did I’ve always done quitea bit of volunteering actually just just shops and charity shops and that kind ofthing and I worked for my aunt for a bitfor in fire safety like I’d walk around a warehouseand basically go this this is fine this is this is a fire hazard this isn’t goodthat kind of thing like fair enough yeah and and just itwas it was cuz it was in Texas it was really hot so we were walking around these massive warehouses they’reabsolutely huge and like it’s like miles of walking the and it’s Texas so yeahyeah and just looking at stuff and going that’s probably unsafe like therethere’s a lot of paper there that’s probably a bad thing and then someone’s doing welding here that’s probably a badbad combination um and also things like um looking at fire extinguishers andsaying whether they’re in day or not yeah in Daye sort of stuff or or have enoughpressure yeah or whether they’ got the right combination of fire yeah CO2 water all that yeah yeahso that was it’s kind of interesting actually that that business um but maybeyou should you should probably do that here what look look at the yes yeah justdouble yeah yeah I mean I I can I can still look at them and go okay all rightI remember once I looked in in one and it had a black widow nest init not not here that’s Tex Texas for you Texas yeah yeah like I was like okayokay it’s a black widow Ness Texas is probably the one of the best places I’vevisited and I wasn’t expecting it but which which part Houston huge oh yeahwhy I drove from Houston to Miami so I went along the whole South Coast for like a week and a half we’re alwaysthere on Houston because my family is out in El Paso like a lot of them Iremember you brought back you you brought us back t-shirts after yeah after GCC he said I’ll pass out on themyeah the whole group had them oh yeah must still have thatsomewhere I think I mean that that’d be nice I don’t think I’ve got mine so nobut it’s a gift you can’t really throw away can you so you throw away gifts if they no longer it probably doesn’t fitme now so yeah probably not use it for painting or whatever when we do likedecorating or whatever so we’re going to talk about like healthy habits and building them

Building Healthy Habits

maintaining them or like getting back to being healthy I think you had a couple of stats in you that you were going tothe main things about what they what children aren’t eating so 56% of parentssay that their teenager skips breakfast which I think is quite a lot yeah I meanI was never a massive breakfast e so it takes me a couple hours for my immune system and stuff to kick in so it mightdepend on each person but I could see the point there was a second one whichwas 20 27% of parents say their child eats junkfood instead of proper meals yeah which instead instead of proper Mills not aswell as like we do it as well as a lot of that but it’s not in placeof yeah so so so let me tell you a story so I was here a couple of weeks ago withon a Saturday and one of the Year 11s came in and said that she’d basicallynot slept at all and then went into an exam sounds like a great combinationyeah had not eaten properly just yeah I said how that’sreally going to affect your performance so what’s your thoughts on uh like maintaining healthy habits andstuff during this during the exam period now the exams are over uh do do you just continue do you tryand go back do you what what’s your thoughts I don’t know I I think people shouldn’t leave I mean people shouldn’t reallychange how they you know their healthy habits they they shouldn’t get less healthy duringthe exam period doesn’t make that doesn’t make sense that kind of makes sense umCU staying staying healthy and keeping healthy food and drink or whatever else and sleeping patterns and stuffrequires a fair bit of thought and energy to keep going so ifyou’re removing if you if you’re allocating those brain resources to something else like your exams I knowit’s counterintuitive to like keep that resource sort of going but you’re you naturally go all in oh it might be it’sit’s counterintuitive probably like then it seems to make sense that if you gookay I can have some energy drinks and work 5 hours on this as opposed to nothaving an energy drink and work two hours um I don’t think that happens inpractice but no because I think there were plenty of people who they couldhave those healthy habits and not rely on outside stimulus ifanything it probably like we know I don’t think caffeine’s c a little bit of caffeine’sgood for I think having a coffee in the morning is actually quite good for exam performance but not to subsist on it ofunhealthy things it reminds me of I mean just reminds me of in between us that’s exactly what I was going to sayyeah um dangerous yeah I don’t I assume the uh kids haven’t seen cuzz that wasour our sort of time frame no um but yeah I was literally about tosay REM reminds in between us I I don’t think yeah I I think you should notchange your habits that much unless they were so unhealthy during the exam periodthat if you were to continue that way you’d probably die um I think it’s betterto have remain consistent with things like your sleep sleep patterns yourum diet that kind of thing it’s important to actually eat healthythroughout your life not just at select periods um but if it has been a problemit can be and obviously you can devote a bit more time to some other practices so if you if youdo get anything out of if you do want to meditate if you do want to do some otherthings that although that’s probably a good thing to do during an exam period yeah it’s it will be difficult ifyou’re really anxious and hopped up on caffeine and energydrinks to sit there and try and meditate yeah again counterintuitive you think you’re wasting your time but actuallyyeah probably does the opposite I think a lot of things are are like that so it’s a bit like making a you know a lotof people say like making a revision plan is likecounterproductive but I think having some level of organization and organizing your visiontaking a little bit of time to do that even if it’s like 10 minutes what am I’m I going to do it’s a bit like making alist CU in in your head you’re like okay this is a wasting time because I’m spending time doing this when I shouldbe doing this but you take it out of your head which which gives you more brain re resources to use on other stuffbring it down on to plus you can take them off and I I think at the at the bare minimum people should be makingless on on what they’re doing for the little little dopamine hit whenever youyeah exactly yeah like you feel like you’ve accomplished something even if it’s a small you have we have yeah buteven if it’s a small thing you can still yeah watch it down take it off and and that’s an important part of I thinkstaying motivated because it keeps you motivated yeah because you’reactually you’ve completed something so well kudos to you

Languages & Preparing for the Next Year

you mentioned pre-reading so those year 13s are going to University uh for the other year groupswhat would you say in terms of preparing for the next academic year say you’re I don’t know your year 10year 11 year four five I think you like if you’re taking asubject to a level it might make sense to go over that subject a little bit ifyou’re the type of person who goes into exam and immediately after taking the examyou forget everything that you’ve done um in that case it might be worthdoing a little bit of work during the summer to keep your skillssharp if someone’s taking like Maths for instance at a level you should be wellup on your gcsc end of gcsc stuff so you’re readyto s take that on yeah that that was a big that was a big jump with um I stillthink a level is probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done academically for me more thanUniversity I don’t think so me for me it was not for me but I get I I think it isdifficult in terms of because you got more than one subject and it is quite quite a bit ofmaterial and and also I think at that time time you’re you’re maturing into agood like you’re developing good study habits but you’re still developing themyou’re not you’re not really that good at it you’re you’re you’re starting toengage in self-directed learning but you haven’t really mastered it fully um GCSis obviously a lot of it so directed by the school and and the teacher and thatkind of thing like facilitated in that way you still need to go away and study stuff but then at a level so much of itis on you to take time to learn these things so I sometimes I just like thrw abook at me and like learn this okay um I was I was never uh I never knew howto revise yeah I still don’t think I fullydo and especially that that time of my well that time of my life anyway Iwasn’t I kind of You’ be the wrong person I lost interest You’ be the wrong person to deliver study skillssession yeah I think it be better at now but if uh back then I didn’t especially a levelwas not in the right mind frame to actually work on that for several different personal reasons yeah uhgts’s I did a bit of revision didn’t do a lot still got all like A’sand B’s um funny enough the A’s I got were in the subjects that I got to chooseyeah which tells you a lot yeah I think you’re the type of person if you I thinkI I just enjoy learning generally so it’s yeah like I do I do now but Ididn’t then didn’t appreciate it then or didn’t I wasn’t I lost interest yeahlike I I feel like it didn’t particularly matter what I was although I think there was like an un like beingunder confident in something feeling that I wasn’t good at it or I couldn’t be good at it affected my ability tolearn it so I remember with French as soon as I had the chance todrop French I dropped French me too because I never thought I I I just Ijust assumed that I couldn’t do it it’s cuz it’s structured very differently yeah and I’ve I’ve I’vebecome better at language learning since because I I understand how I want tolearn it and I think with something like a language you need it you need you needto sort of get into into it so to really enjoy it it’s the culture and everything behind ityeah and you’ve got to have that strong interest in order to get the language and then with French I feel I was IMimmediately put off just by the fact that I I just wasn’t very good at it andokay like and and also a lot of people were very good at it I looked at them and I was like uh I’m I I’m terriblecompared to these other people who are literally Franco files they love thatlike they can actually speak French and that kind of thing and also the way we learned was very we didn’t really doenough conversation practice I think no it was very much here’s the Encoretricko textbook where Laine over there that’sbasically just what you learned it was learning grammatical structures but I feel like now the way that I approachlanguage learning is very different and it’s very personalized to how I want to learn it yeah you should be immersed init as well like I I did Spanish I start I was learning French from like the ageof you know four or five yeah uh like a Saturday French scor in monedyou’re kind of Lucky though i’ never even done any french until I stillcouldn’t I couldn’t get it when I went to school though until Forest like I I I swapped it out for um forSpanish and that I just picked up I I got I managed to get an A in Spanish why why was it was it I could dothe talking I could do the I think it’s just it’s the sentences are structuredin a way that in a way that makes more sense there’s no like going goinglike through the sentence to realize that this verb was talking about this ohokay and having a question mark at the beginning of a sentence makes so much sense I think we should do that inEnglish because you don’t realize it’s a question till you get to the end my dad hates that it’s quite cleverthey put question mark up upside down remember at the beginning so when you’re starting that sentence you know it’s aquestion mark yeah but the sorry when I went talking about being immersed init when I went to Cuba all came back oh I was like yeah Ican speak this I can speak that I can ask for a coffee with milk without sugar with inSpanish like but they they they kind of laughed because their dialect isdifferent so you know in European Spain they pronounced their wasit like like a beer is AA like AA yeah or like the v’s become B’s yeahin Cuba they don’t do that so when I when I started speaking in European inSpanish they’re like we don’t talk like that over here while you talking with a lisp like it’s should be V not the orwhatever it is but I think that’s not bad thing like is I think it’s fine to have aregional I know they were were the thing is they were happy to to have conversations with me in Spanish was ifyou go to France try talking in French and they realize you speak English don’t just talk they yeah we’ll just talk toyou in English even though you’re trying it’s like we both know English better than we both know French so just do thatand also with Spanish it’s just so Wily spoken it’s a and it’s it’s anotherreason why I switched over there are parts of like especially Latin Americawhere they they don’t necessarily speak that English to to that it’s a bit likelearning an a like a Oriental language for me so Chinese uh Korean I remember going outto the countryside in Korea and some people don’t don’t speak English um atall and and also things like going to the country and and reading the bussigns and in Korean that kind of thing cuz it’s quite it’s quite easy to pickup I mean I hate to bring it back to Tech again but like that’s all kind of Google Lens what does that say yeahor like live translation talking to somebody else but there’s like a a levelof respect that you get from learning A Lang like speaking to someone like yeahI feel like I can create a closer relationship with oh yeah I’m not saying you can’t but that will happen less andless from now on I don’t think it will cuz people people are still like oh you’ve taken the time to yeah but noteverybody will think like that not everyone will will I think be as into it as you are I think people do likein like people people like okay this person actually took took time to learn this learn this language I’m going totreat them automatically yeah but I’m saying most people won’t take time to learn the language like like you oh no no yeah no that’s true but that’s what Imean like it it will give you an advantage if you actually know the language because people would be so lazywith it and then and also like if if things do get mistranslated you can sort of you’ve got a bit more of a yeah senseof it true um it’s easier because of your brain’s malleability and plasticityit’s easier to to learn a language before the age of five eight something like that withwith I think it’s with things like native like pronunciation even just learning thelanguage cuz like Spanish extremely difficult to pronounce if youdon’t if you if you haven’t been speaking that like if you can’t roll your ass you spentages trying to learn how to do that yeah whereas if you’d learn that at like fiveyou can pick it up quickly I’m I’m talking more about other being able to remember make those brain connections toremember the for the words and you know I rather than just physical big able tosay it I think you can do I think you can do that with like if you learn that as an but the hard thing is actuallygetting that native like dialect dialect um I think that’sthe real limit with it’s something that you always have that little bit of likeif I speak Chinese it’s like you could still tell that he’s learned Chinese as an adult yeah yeah I see what you meanum or or older but then a kid growing up so a great thing for any student todo is actually learn a language I think that’s that’s actually really good use of use of the summer you can even goaway to like if you’re going on a holiday somewhere learn a bit of that language like you can sort of make itpractical as well yeah I mean we’ve drifted over butthe original question was sort of Academic Year preparing for the nextacademic year yeah so that’s kind of if you’re like year 11 year 31 like just to quickly round it off say you’reyear seven uh year sevens uh if youdon’t have your basic skills down then work on that then work on them um otherwise take more time off use theuse the academic use the end of your exams as a gauge yeah so so you’ll havecertain things in your report in your in in in your end of your exam that come up as particular weaknesseswork on those a little bit because you also have Holiday homeworkbut like it’s usually not a huge amount I mean yeah II would say quite a lot I would say if you’re yeah basic skills fair enough butif you’re like year three four five and not doing 11 plus six 7eight nine nine yeah 10 as well 10 enough bit I would say do maybe 8020 parprinciple do like 20% work 80% play do some reading like hang out with friendseverything we’ve spoken about before the year 12s as well year 12 too yeah definitely becauseum that a that a thatfirst year available a lot of people don’t go back to it and that tends to be where they they have a lot of problemsin because they they go okay they’ve done there especially in something like history so math sort Builds on itself quite alot because it’s like okay if I can do that then I can do that and then you have all the more difficult stuff at theend in your second year so really you will be able to do all of this if youcan do this course stuff generally yeah although there are some so maybe maybemaybe year 12 you do more of a 50/50 maybe you’re doing something like history and you’re doing one module oneyear you’ll forget it like I yeah so what I’m saying so like yeah to round itoff if you’re year 3 4 5 not doing 11 plus 6 78 9 maybe 10 like 20% work 80% take sometime off do some reading in that 20% brush up on stuff you’ve forgotten about this is provided thatyour basic knowledge is your like foundational knowledge is thereyeah and then yeah if you’re 11 year 11 year 13 kind of year 12 all the otherstuff that we spoke about yeah so thanks for joining us again this month if you’re watching us on YouTube
