Struggling to pass functional skills maths at level 2

jamesoliver2019

ahahah I done the same thing. but i answered the questions first and then watched the videos to check my answers.

I took both my maths and english exam with intech centre in London. They have the sample papers on the website so what i did is, I opened up the sample answered one question in Maths and then watched the video to check my answers. I repeated this process for the other 2 questions in maths. They have 3-4 sample videos. its amazing guys. Also, booking and getting a slot was super easy.

English was more complex as it has 3 exams. again Intech made it simple for me. I have the topics for speaking & listening to prepare for so i can do presentation and discussion.

also for reading and writing exams, they have samples as well

i passed both and i am ready to start my university in September.

just google intech centre and they will appear at the top.

When I did my exam 4 years ago, it was with City & Guilds. I passed that first time because my english is extremely good. The maths exams with city and guilds are very hard, but I am poor at maths in general. It depends what kind of learner you are as well. I am a visual learner so I learn from watching videos which is why I am watching Intech centre videos on city and guilds papers and doing the tests by myself after i watch them to see if I have improved.

It's funny how I passed Level 2 English with ease but I'm struggling with maths so badly lol.. I think that it's a bit embarrassing to be honest. I have passed Level 1 and that took a few good attempts but Level 2 is so difficult and I don't think I will ever pass it. I even have a CGP book at level 2 and struggle with the questions compared to when I studied level 1. I am sure if I had a 1 to 1 tutor who could help me, I would pass but I'm usually studying by myself usually. The government want you to have at least level 2 to be able to get through life... I feel like the exam is almost impossible for me to pass :frown:

Hi there. Just reading this. Did you eventually manage to pass ??

Yes, I understand you. Passing Level 2 would be mnageable if Edexcel would stop loading their exam questions with unnecessary red herrings, bad English and full of ambiguities. Edexcel should make every 10 minute question, clear and unequivocal in every material respect, and we'd all pass with flying colours.

Reply, Quite understand. You're not helped with the Edexcel maths examiners and their unmanageable exam questions. Each 10 minute exam question is loaded with bad English, full of red herrings and full of ambiguities. Level 2 Maths candidates feel totally disempowered. It is suggested that each Level 2 question should be clear and unequivocal in every material respect. But this doesn't help now and it incredibly disempowering.

It's 48 out of 75 marks to pass. City & Guilds is the hardest exam board to pass but I managed to pass eventually.

Aspire Sussex do ncfe exam board for maths and I've found they are extremely difficult compared to other exam boards I've seen on pass papers. Pearsons seem hard but not extremely hard.

Keep at it and don’t give up! You’ll get there in the end. Just do it for you and don’t worry about what you think people might be thinking. Just focus on your maths.
Good luck!!
