How do YOU revise your maths? Feel free to share

Hey all, I thought I'd make this thread because I'm very interested in hearing about how different people revise. I'm wanting to go to university and have a C (4) but need at least a 5, so I'm going to independently learn my maths at home and book myself in for the exams in 2019.

Realistically I want to aim much higher than a 5, It'd be great to get a 7-8 since I'm not too great at maths. However, looking at this with a growth mindset I know if I work hard I'm capable. Anybody else been in a similar situation? I'd like to hear from ya :biggrin:

(btw I am already reading some of the great blogs already on here, but I figured its still worth the post)

Practice. Here's a guide to grade 9 Maths GCSE I've shared with fellow year 11s:

Here are links:


I recommend doing this order:
- mathsgenie worksheets
- mathsmadeeasy worksheets
- justmaths worksheets
- once you finished ALL the worksheets in ALL three sites move onto the papers
- AQA papers
- Edexcel papers
- OCR papers
- specimen papers
- CrashMaths papers
- Churchill papers
- practice set papers and mocks from school

Worksheets (for all topics with answers):

https://mathsmadeeasy.co.uk/gcse-maths-revision/

https://justmaths.co.uk/2015/12/21/9...c-higher-tier/

Your CGP workbook + CGP grade 9 workbook (buy them if you don't have them by now)

PAST PAPERS:
AQA papers: https://mathsmadeeasy.co.uk/gcse-mat...a-past-papers/
Edexcel papers: https://mathsmadeeasy.co.uk/gcse-mat...l-past-papers/
OCR papers: https://mathsmadeeasy.co.uk/gcse-mat...r-past-papers/

The CrashMaths, Churchill and specimen papers can be found online. Mock papers + practice sets can be requested from your teacher.
There's nothing that I do that really separates myself to a normal student in the mathematical regard. The best way I do Maths is by Error, by Mistakes, a byproduct of practice and dedicated exercise. For without any of the two, there can be no learning.
Loads of past papers. If you get stuck on a question find a worked solution/find in on YouTube/ask someone else.
Then do a worksheet/lots of questions on whatever you got stuck on/got wrong.
Honestly you just have to drill it in until you won’t forget the method for anything.
I like doing textbook questions, because in the end they're the ones writing the exam papers and the specification has changed this year, so some topics aren't covered in past papers etc.
thank you whoever for giving me my first rep. lol
