    Questions about Edexcel GCSE Maths 5MB3H?
    Firstly, i need 91 out of 160 UMS points to get a B. Does anyone know how many marks this is, any what grade it might be?

    Also, after doing a lot of past papers, i've got about 30 questions which i don't understand how to work out. How can I find out how to do these, as most of them are just random questions that I can't really look up online?

    Thanks.

    i dont know about the marks


    but how about seeing if there is a relationship between the questions you can't do, and then revising that topic? i.e going over exercises in your text book.

    Best way to revise: go through past papers, research key topics you struggle on and then bam, make your weaknesses your strengths.

    I'm doing the same gcse Maths unit as you
    This book may be useful for you:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/GCSE-Mathema...0014156&sr=8-1

    Just do a LOT of questions and past papers. Also make sure you can apply your knowledge to new situations.

    btw the unit 3 paper is out 80 marks so you need 45.5 marks, 46 really, for a B.

    Practice the basics as much as you can and you'll realise the questions in past papers are pretty much the same.
