We have decided to post one question every day on TSR (as well as our twitter) to give you DAILY practice across the whole GCSE Maths syllabus leading up to your exam.
The idea is that you make it necessary to attempt (at least) one question a day. You can post and share your solutions when the questions go up (try to use spoilers) and solutions will be released at the end of the day.
The questions are designed for the Edexcel Maths Specification, but they should still be applicable to most other specifications.
The first Edexcel GCSE Maths exam is on 25th May 2017.
There are 30 days to go.
We started this countdown on our twitter at 100 days, so I will attach the first few questions and their solutions.

We hope that you find these useful in your maths revision. Good luck
Thanks for this, however from the look of these questions, if this is the sort that comes up, i feel like im going to be screwed over... i could only do C and onwards from the last question How do you approach these type of questions?

Hey
The first few ones are quite demanding, so don't worry. We will post some more accessible ones at levels 4-6 for the next 10 or so questions!
The solutions for the first few are up so have a look and let us know if you're stuck.
Thanks for this thread! Would you say the questions drift a bit from the gcse style type of questions but is rather more problem solving or grade 8/9 questions? @crashMATHS

Some of these are exercises, some are question-types. For example, question 1 is in the form of an exam style question, while question3b is more of an exercise.
The questions we post from this point on will be exam style questions.
The ones up to now have been grades 8/9 (except question 3) but there will be more 4-6 from tomorrow
If you want practice exam papers, then look on our website:
How do we know that square root of 3root3 is equal to root 3 These sorts of questions confuse me so much.
Let's deal with the 33 first of all:
33=3×321, because of the rule that x=x21.
Now 33=3×321=31+21=323 by the rule that xn×xm=xn+m.
So that bit is done.
Now let's focus on the 33. If we replace 33 with what we found above, we have:
33=323=(323)21 by the same rule as before: x=x21
Now we use one final rule that (xm)n=xm×n to get:
(323)21=323×21=343.
For the rest of the question, you have to use the rules again. It's always useful to break it down bit-by-bit. Have you done laws of indices? Maybe try going through this question with the laws by your side.
Let me know if you need more help or are stuck on anything
