How Can I A* Maths

Practice, practice, practice. Plus some of the magic ingredient:I did all of the questions in the textbooks and all of the past papers and that did the job for me.

Solomon papers seem to be popular as the exams are getting more difficult and those papers make for good practice.

they do solomon papers for gcse now jeez?

PRSOM.

Edited.

Okay i did quite well at GCSE's i got 8 A*'s 3 A's and 1 B. I did maths in yr 10 at GCSE and got an A*. Obviously this didnt come to me through being lazy, i worked my ass off. If you really want a good great firstly you have to be equipped with the right reasouces. You need a maths book specific to your specification (edexcel) so it covers all tbe topic you need. What i did was calculated the number of week i had until may and then divided my time accordingly so tbat buy may i had confidentely finished every chapter in tbe book. ( for you id reccomend finishing by April so you have time for past papers. You'll need to do nearly ALL the questions im the book and mark them as this helps alot, your book should have answere and if there is no woking you can try fingure out how they got to that answer or use forums/yahoo answers or teacher support for more challenging questions. Once you are done you should hit up past papers ASAP as these give you insight into exam techniques and the types of questions youll get but dont forget EXAMINERS REPORTS are very useful so utilise them to the best of you ability. Also use mathswatch starting from grade D because alot of marks are avaliable for easier questions so perfect that.
After followimg this through get ready for and amazing maths grade in August. Good luck

Thank you so much but basically my mocks are in december and I need an A* so i can get an offer from a good sixth form how do you suggest I split my time considering I am a C grade and i have 2 months left

Okay, it will be quite challenging considering you have to split your time between all your subjects but if you want to do maths based subjects you'll probably need an A/A*. Tell me what subjects you do and how much time to dedicate to revising for them right now so i can help ya.

Hi guys.

Basically I am aiming to go to a good sixth form and that requires straight A*-A grades however I am not very good at mathematics and am working at a C grade.

Are there any students on here who got an A* or A in maths ( my exam board is edexcel but i'll take help in any way) and can give me some tips on how to do this.

I don't really want study tips more like any website you used or a textbook and how you structured your revision

Thanks so much in advance

YOUTUBE + EXAM SOLUTIONS + PAST PAPERS (x200) = A* IN MATHS

But just watch maths videos over and over again until you get it and practice as the videos go through, then do the past papers over time and always reflect on each paper finding your faults and watching even more videos to do with it!

hi I'm currently looking at exam solutions and its cool but theres not a lot of topics there. Do you think using that website alone i can get an A* as in does it cover all topics I would need for a high grade?

Just out of curiosity how did exam solutions help you, what grade are you?

Using that website alone won't get you an A*, no.

I didn't actually use it for my GCSE maths but I got an A* in it anyway, I am however using it for AS Maths and it really is helping me! I'm predicted an A in AS Maths and if I get 90% in all three of my modules I'll be predicted an A* at A2

Thats great you must be so smart! What resources did you use to get an A* in Gcse maths and what exam board?

Good luck with your A2!!
