What did you do to revise?
Any good revision techniques?

I am currently in Year 10 and got an A* (Grade 8 now) in my most recent mock exam but don't want to be complacent. :redface:

I am also a bit concerned that I'll end up forgetting things by next year when I actually sit my exam :frown:

What can I do apart from past papers to keep my grades up and any good resources? :smile:

What can I do to ensure I don't forget anything that I've learnt?

Thank you :biggrin:

Hi, I'm also in Year 10. You can use MathsWatch if you have an account where it will have videos for the new specification. Also, there's specimen papers available from exam boards like Edexcel that you can use.

There's no grade boundaries or past papers yet as it's a new GCSE. I have done a specimen paper and based on my experiences, the questions are more demanding and vigorous as they're worded. You can use MathsWatch to help you with the new spec for Maths as well as the specimen papers from the exam board.
