How can I improve?

I'm starting year 11 and will be the first year to sit the new maths GCSE and I left year 10 by getting a D in my mock. When doing past papers in class and at home I always got a C (Foundation). But now I'm really scared that I won't do so well. Is there any way I could improve my grade? and how long should I spend practising a topic? Also, if anyone has any useful Edexcel Foundation 9-1 topic lists can you please link it below? Thanks

Here's some tips for your Maths GCSE: All I can say is past paper questions. Only start doing the past paper questions once you are sure you have covered every topic.

•

Work through the ExamSolutions videos if you ever feel you feel like you are stuck on any section

•

Feel free to post in the TSR GCSE Maths Forum if you are unsure about something (make sure provide the question and what you have already done)

•

Do every single past paper

•

Mark your papers and see where you have gone wrong

•

Look to do IGCSE papers once you have done all of the GCSE ones

You can always use the TSR Study Resources for any subject, pretty helpful revision material on there. Also there is a very useful Study Planner on TSR which you may use, if you find that timetables are something you don't stick to then make a list of things to do per day/week and tick it off as you go along.

Don't know how long you could spend on each topic, it's not about time. It's more about your understanding of that topic. Go over every topic till you're confident with it.

Hope this helps.
