Attachment 713820Is the corbett maths higher tier checklist accurate? Does it cover the whole of GCSE maths or not? Im aiming to do 2-3 topics a day and then attempt as much questions at possible on those topics. Once I've finished this, I will then start to attempt practice papers.
Need to know if this checklist covers all of GCSE maths as I've heard some people say that there's about 200 topics whereas this has less.

That is a checklist for the old spec so I don't recommend it. You may be able to find checklists if you Google e.g. "9-1 maths checklist". Although I find that they often miss out a lot of topics. Of course the exam board websites will have the full specification so you can use them as a checklist.

I am currently putting together my own checklist that were predicted topics for last year. This is what I have so far - it's a bit of a mess with topics mentioned more than once so I'll need to tidy it up and add links for every topic, which I'll do in the next few weeks:

EDIT: Topic list in post below.

Ahh i see. I'll guess I should just use the edexcel maths spec as a checklist. However, what website should I use to go through these topics? I think it's safer to just cover all of the topics rather than making predicted ones

I found a list online, thought it may be beneficial seems to cover an extensive amount for the new 9-1 spec edexcel higher.
