GCSE Edexcel Maths 9th & 13th June

Original post by RG110man
Whoever said these mocks are difficult, I'm very sorry but I have to disagree. I've just done both and marked them.

On paper 1: 77/100
On paper 2: 70/100
Total: 147/200 (Which I'm sure would definitely score me an A in the real thing)

This is better than I happen to have done on any other past paper. Is it just me who thinks these mock papers are easy?

If you got a B with no revision then you're not bad at maths, haha! :smile:
Aim for the A!

i think i just got lucky. i have dyscalculia so i was pretty terrible at maths until year 9 and then i began to catch up, in year 4 i had the equivalent math skills as a 2 year old or something like that

Honestly just do past papers , the more questions the better that is if you don't want to do maths in the future , you'll get it :smile: good luck

No problem... I definitely recommend everyone has a go at these mock papers. If our real exam is as easy as these papers I will be very happy, though I'm doubtful they will be as easy as these papers. We can all hope I suppose. :smile:

All the papers are the same to me - most of the questions being fairly easy, and then just 2 or 3 questions that I don't understand, and take ages at attempting to guess.

Usually the middle of the paper is the hardest for me. :P

You'll run out pretty quickly - don't rush it. :P

My maths teacher has given me loads and I have a massive pile of math questions that could last me at least a few months xD

Is it only me that found that paper fairly easy? (The link) Serious question..

Nope... It's an easy paper, I'm sure lots of people found it easy

Ah, okay. Still, I wouldn't do TOO much, though. :smile:

Right I've got a feeling that our exams are going to be really hard, like as hard as the November paper in June and the Mock Papers released by the exam board... Anyone have any good websites that go through the A/A* stuff?

Mathswatch offers pretty good tutorials but I think its £2 to get. Otherwise hegarty maths is a great free option (http://www.hegartymaths.com/ its similar to mygcsescience). There are specific mini exams on the A* topics (and more) at this website: http://keshgcsemaths.wordpress.com/ (click on maths takeaway). They also have videos for all the past papers going through them and how to work them out
