its been 2 weeks and the jump from gcse to a levels is really hard. One of my teachers is awful and I don't know any good maths resources or tutors to help me understand.
If I practice more will it become easier or is it better to drop it now (however I have no clue on what other subjects to choose)
i know this isn't the most helpful answer but honestly it depends. maths is a really useful subject for most uni courses so unless you know you only want to do humanities then from that view it's best to keep trying it. maybe do some more practice in your own time or work with a friend and see how you get on? are there any other maths teachers that you could talk to maybe?

I've been doing some work with my friends which does help ty however they're smarter than me which kinda makes me feel behind as they have tutors . I do have a good maths teacher but I don't want to offend my other teacher

haberdashers maths and TLmaths are amazing. I’d also recommend the textbook that your school gave you but judging by your post, I doubt that they gave you a textbook. Also, imo, context is important here. Why do you find your teacher to be awful? Do they go too fast? Do they teach in a way that’s hard to understand? Are they not open enough to questions asked by students? Also, what did you get at GCSEs?

Haberdashersmaths is irrelevant to OCR specification.

I got a 7 and I hope so (at least thats what everyone told me)
my exam board is OCR
I'm glad working with friends helps it could be that the topic you're doing at the moment is just hard for you? I suggested the other maths teacher as an option since i got the impression you might not want to talk to your current maths teacher for advice/help lol. But talking to teachers will definitely help. Does your school have any options for help outside of lessons? like subject clubs and stuff

thank you!! They did tell us to get a textbook its around £40 so they don't advise we should get it just yet.
She goes very fast and picks people on the spot which is really humiliating and I got a 7

how many maths classes are there at your school? because if there are multiple you could probably negotiate with someone to switch classes since your current one isn't really working for you. or if multiple people in your class feel the same way about her teaching style then you could probably all band together and ask her to slow down or something

theres only 1 maths class (its quite a big class) and I'm not sure if anyone else apart from my friend groups feels the same way but I think they don't really understand her either.
We only have her once a week for an 1h and 30 mins and the good teacher for 3 hours which is a relief. Thank you for your suggestions tho

no problem; still if there's multiple of you i'd say that should be enough to bring up your concerns with her. maybe if you still struggle after a bit consider going to the good teacher for help like after class?
