Upon completion of your GCSEs, it’s important to allow yourself some time off. Mental decompression and physical relaxation can go a long way to helping you reset and feel fresh for the new challenges ahead.
We’d recommend 2-3 weeks before you start your preparation cycle. This should present you with enough time to make a successful transition between courses/levels. A period of 3 or more weeks for preparation towards your A Level course should be enough time for most.
