Is maths genie good

I received a 'predicted paper' for maths the other day(our exam board is edexcel) and on the paper it says it's from a website called 'Mathsgenie.co.uk' which i've never heard of.... I was just wondering as in regards to whether it is good for revision and whether they get predict alot of the material correctly in the 'predicted paper'.

PS> i also use a site called onmaths for the same purpose and wanted some guidance on this site too?

Kind regards,

Hamza Hussain

I have never used on maths but mathsgenie is good and PiXL is also good. I would say the best thing though is to practice weaker topics.

Yep, I use it a lot when it comes to revising maths as it has videos explaining different topics clearly and topic based tests. Highly recommended :smile:

Maybe see if their predictions for the paper you've already done were accurate or not

Hello Can you confirm that the questions on Maths Genie are correct? I have noticed a few which I feel are incorrect such as (2t^-3)-2 being 1/4t^6, I make this out to be 64t^6I am unsure whether I am wrong as I though raising powers to a power would mean (x) them and if you (x) 2 negatives it makes a positive and 2 raised to 6 would be 64 not a quater? Thanks

Im not saying there are no mistakes in mathsgenie but I haven't found any.
Y ou are making a fairly common error when applying indices to numbers inside brackets.
The power of -3 is only connected to the t, and not the 2
(2t^-3)^-2 = 2^-2 x (t-^3)^-2
