On the road to 9s and A*A* Maths/FM

Hey

I'm currently in year 11 and my exams start in 3 months so I may as well start this thread now in order to monitor my progress and see if I get what I'm hoping for... the real intensity begins now

Completed Qualifications:



What I'd like to get this year:



Class tests:



Extra stuff:



What I want to do:



Stress:

The workload for the remaining 3 months will be excruciating but I think it'll be worth it following the more relaxed times in sixth form.

I don't know what subjects you'll be doing in sixth form, but it might be more stressful than year 11 man lol

Any tips on how to get a 9 in Maths?
I'm also in year 11 and I'm always like 1 or 2 marks off a 9 in tests

Maths at Cambridge? One of my choices for the future too I'm also considering Physics and Chemistry A level, plus Maths and Further Maths.

If you make a tag list be sure to add me!

Watch out guys we have a bangout over here

I'm guessing C1 is going to be your easiest exam this year.

Either that or Computing (thank God the NEA is cancelled).

Well for me (OCR) it's not cancelled, but doesn't apply to the final grade.

I mean, you can fail half your GCSE subjects and Cambridge, Imperial probably wouldn't care. I believe a 6 in English is the only thing Imperial care about when it comes to GCSEs.

When you apply, you're probably gonna have to get 3A* at A Level for both and 1,1 in STEP for Cambridge and a good MAT score for Imperial. They prioritise Sixth form performance a lot more.

Obviously don't bomb your A Levels in case you change your mind about the uni or course; it's a just a lil FYI.

Practice, practice, practice.

To get a 9:
- learn all the content and complete mathswatch interactive questions
- complete CGP workbook + CGP grade 9 targeted workbook
- complete mathsgenie worksheets
- complete mathsmadeeasy worksheets (for extra practice)
- complete justmaths worksheets
- complete past papers (from both AQA/Edexcel)
- complete specimen/mock/practice papers (from both AQA/Edexcel)
- complete CrashMaths/Churchill/Grade 9 paper

That's overkill but good to ensure maximum grade! And thanks - good luck with that 9, I'm sure you'll get it!

Jesus your grades are solid, if you don't get into Cambridge then i have absolutely no chance.
I found your maths break down to get a 9 really useful, could you do one on some other subjects like sciences and English?

Glad to be of help! I'll write some up for English and Science and reply with them again when I'm done. What exam boards do you do?
