Your personal calendar

Use this calendar to help you plan what to do as you make your post-16 choices. Then use it to track what you've actually done.

On your first visit, tick the action you think you should take. After that, tick the things you've done. Remember to print your work each time you visit otherwise you'll lose it!

Prioritise your choices.
Apply for your chosen post-16 option, making sure you have a back-up plan.
Be prepared to rethink your plans if your predicted grades change because of mock exams and other assessments - they could go up as well as down.
Create a revision plan that works for you and be prepared to stick to it.
Prepare for applications and interviews.
Check that you've completed coursework and other assignments.
Find out if you're eligible for an Education Maintenance Allowance and apply for one if you are.
If you're still not sure what to do, speak to your Connexions personal adviser. Remember the September Guarantee - you have a guarantee of an appropriate place in learning.

Summer Term 2009

If you still have no plans, make an appointment to speak to your Connexions personal adviser.
Speak to your Connexions personal adviser if you're looking for work with training.
If you're not quite ready for work and you don't want to stay in education, ask your Connexions personal adviser about work preparation training programmes.
Check that you've received and confirmed the offer of a place in education, training or work. You can still apply if you haven't done so yet.
Think about getting a job, work experience or voluntary work for the summer holidays.
