What's a good way to revise A Level Maths? Maths is the subject i find the hardest to revise for because I like making notes as revision and I feel like I can't really do that for maths. I mainly use past papers

Using past papers is very convenient as it helps you practise. What I personally do which I find very useful is that I do past papers and then if I struggle to answer a specific I would highlight it and write down tips on how to correctly do it ( from the internet or from your teacher) so when you encounter a similar question, you could just look back and when you do revision for exams, you could just scheme through your notes and look those up :smile:

I started my revision in my first day of Year 11, I feel very confidence in some subject and I will focus now a lot in the subject that I'm struggling. 😉🙈

I do AS maths and I watch exam solutions videos- do a few questions from the textbook and I am planning to do ALL the past papers! :smile:

Oh and for edexcel DEFINITELY do the solomon papers!!! Physics and maths tutor is a FANTASTIC websites, with solution banks for the textbook (edexcel),loads of past paers and solomon papers! :smile:

Lol I think maths is actually the easiest to revise for as it requires less effort in revision (for me) than my other subjects... :tongue:

Wow congrats on being SO motivated! :smile:

I did my GCSE's last year and just crammed the night before, or just couldn't be bothered to revise at all! :tongue:

For my GCSEs I didn't start revision until April and with a bit of motivation and time management I was fine :smile:

starting your revision earlier won't necessarily mean you learn more, it's about your revision techniques and how effective you are at learning what you need to know :smile:
