Hi, I am in year 12.
What exam board are you with? Edexcel
What do you enjoy most about this subject/ course? I just love solving math problems
What area do you struggle with in this subject/ course? The mechanics part of math. To be more specific, right now it's constant acceleration. I don't understand the stories they write in the questions. Even when i feel i am calculating the right thing my answers alway turn out wrong.

This year, I am in Y12, and the exam board is Edexcel. Is there any good internet or YouTube channels for revising A-level maths? i want to practice more on the subjects that i learned so far. thx

i’m currently in yr12 taking a level maths - after an end of topic test & finding out i was on the verge of a fail i feel like i’ve lost a lot of confidence in maths. does anyone have any tips on how to improve? any good methods for revising, getting used to the content etc..? rlly need to get my grade up as i have no other subjects to switch maths with !!!

My revision technique for maths tends to be using past papers. If you are struggling with the questions, what I sometimes do is use the textbook alongside it to remind myself of how to approach the question. Hope this helps!

thank you !! will definitely try this. do you know any good resources with past paper questions for specific topics ? (can’t rlly do an entire past paper as we’ve only done a bit of the content so far!!))

Hi I'm study23! I've just started year 12!

My exam board is WJEC.
I really enjoy algebra, and the really long questions in exams where you have to do loads of steps to get the answers, I find those really fun to figure out!
Probability tended to confuse me in GCSE so I need to get better at this.

Does anyone have any tips for further reading/work experience? Or Maths competitions?

Also if anyone has got any tips that'd be appreciated 😁

I'm in year 13 now. Haven't gone back to school yet though so I'm not sure what to think of year 13 content. I do AQA. The area I most enjoy is definitely statistics! I know most people usually don't like it but I think its fun and so I easily get 90% minimum for the stats part of exams. The area I hate though is definitely mechanics!!!! It's too much physics vibe for me and I can easily get 0% in exams- this is not an exaggeration. Pure maths is alright. definitely doable. but u need to put the work in, which i didnt
here are my honest ratings for each section:
pure: 6.8/10
stats: 10/10
mechanics: 1/10
all of this is my opinion on year 12 content only though!! I heard it gets much harder in year 13

Hi!!
I’m in year 12!! Do you think you can help me understand standard deviation (chapter 2 of the edexcel stats book)?

Hi, my name's Ron. I am preparing for A levels happening in May. The board is CIE and speaking of what I do or don't like about the subject is that learning basics in sourcebook and practicing question in them is really a piece of cake. But, when doing past papers, I am screwed. I need some good help and tips for any question regarding this subject
