Hey there,

Here are a few tips to move up from an A to an A* in your Mathematics GCSE :

•

Work through the ExamSolutions videos if you ever feel you feel like you are stuck on any section

•

Feel free to post in the TSR GCSE Maths Forum if you are unsure about something (make sure provide the question and what you have already done)

•

Do every single past paper

•

Mark your papers and see where you have gone wrong

•

Look to do IGCSE papers once you have done all of the GCSE ones

I hope this helps.

Well I'm in the same position you are, however my friend i have made progress, i managed to get an A* in a paper I did about a month ago but now i have regressed and am stuck on that A life.

I would suggest watching people on Youtube and go through past papers, theres one guy who is absolutely amazing His name is 'Achieve Maths'.
Another thing i would suggest is using the GCSE Edexcel worksheets ( Found Here: http://www.mathsmadeeasy.co.uk/gcsemathsrevisiontopics-AB-grade.htm)
If you go through each topic thoroughly and try these worksheets and lots of past papers you should fill all the holes in your Mathematical knowledge and begin to live the A* life.
