(Original post by ebony_7)There are only 3 weeks left and I need at least a grade 6 in maths does anyone have nay ideas on how to revise maths well
If you haven't already started sitting past papers I'd say plan to sit them with a couple days in between so you can mark it, review it, maybe watch a walkthrough of the paper on YouTube, identify topics you need to work on and then revise for the next paper. I did this for GCSE and I'm currently doing this for A-Levels and it works really well for me at least (don't forget revision methods work differently for everyone).
This means you get exam practise, Mark it yourself and understand how mark schemes work, you mimic exam conditions to prepare you for the real thing, identify topics you struggle on and most importantly CONSOLIDATE your learning after sitting these. There's no in point sitting papers if you don't review and practise questions after by actively targeting what your bad at. Its uncomfortable at first but IMPERATIVE for improvement.
Here's what I'd advise you to do:
Space out papers so you sit one every 3/4 days
Sit the papers in order of years - considering you only have 3 weeks left I'd say ignore the SAM and Specimen papers and start from 2017
Mark them and watch a exam walkthrough of the paper alongside - refer to it when your confused about a question and the mark scheme isn't enough
Sit them in EXAM CONDITIONS!!
To revise after having sat a paper:
Use Maths upgrade . Out of all the Maths websites I used for my GCSE's Maths upgrade by far had the hardest questions. These will push you and expose you to harder questions which you WANT to be doing if you want good grades no matter how uncomfortable getting things wrong repeatedly is because its a process and doesn't work overnight but I GUARANTEE you it absolutely worked for me.
Goodluck!
