I got the third letter in the alphabet. Anyway why does that matter? I have passed and you only need like 30% to pass anyway which should not be hard unless you physically cant do maths i.e. have Maths dyslexia. Maths was not my favourite subject at GCSE hence those like me found it hard to actually put effort in to it like you would do for a subject that you like. Maths tbh is just practice and f you dont do that then it will be unlikely for you to pass eventhough it is only like 30% to do so. Like i said before you should use Mathswatch and cover all the past papers if possible(one past paper a week). Also you should attend class boosters because they help aswell.
examsolutions, do the past papers on there, watch the videos after attempting the questions, if you got them wrong, choose the topic and watch the video on it, and repeat again until you can get every question right.
I highly recommend using the MathsWatch CD or searching for youtube videos on the types of questions that you struggle with eg.maths247 . This was so useful and was the only revision source I used which was really effective as it got me an A* when i took it in year 9
Using different colour pan to notes down the mistake, then re-do it again, again and again. Until you can completely made it correct. Review all your previous exercise and exam papers. :smile:
