New Maths GCSE

Hey guys, since school is starting next week for me , am having 3 maths exams. So i decided to go on the maths website and look through and see if I will get the exam papers am going to do and finally after a long search I got them.
So I decided to print off the paper and do it without revising and the fact is I didnt even score any mark and questions look really hard as well
So could anyone just please help me and give me some motivation because I really want to get a good grade but with hard questions I do not think I will be able to.

Also use past papers, then mark them and revise the topics that you got wrong on the test :smile:

You really shouldn't be stressing, you're probably a quarter way through year 10 and therefore a lot of the content won't have been covered in school yet. We're doing the exact same as you doing three mock exams, and we were told not to revise.

Wow, you got a B in year 9, I am in year 11 and struggling to get from a C to a B. You must be smart.

The fact that you got a B grade means you are really smart. Do you mind sharing how you revise for maths?

If you're considering watching YouTube videos for revision try the channel "Achieve Maths"
He goes through past papers and explains how to do the questions.

Hi, don't stress out too much with the new Maths specification even if you didn't score any marks in the questions. First of all, you really need to try and attempt the questions even if you don't understand as you will be able to gain a few marks at the very least for things like working out. I'm also in Year 10 and this isn't easy, I've attempted about two papers myself and I struggled. I would recommend using MathsWatch as it's a very good resource in explaining topics in Maths you don't understand and must importantly keep on trying questions from past papers even if its the old spec.
