Can I get a 7 in GCSE maths

So currently I have 6 weeks before my gcse I am doing a past paper a day or a hour maths revision and but I keep getting 5s or 6s and I desperately need a 7 can I improve my grade is such little time. Because it says you need 10,000 hours to be an expert at something and I have got that much time.

Where does it say that, sorry but I think that's absolute rubbish in terms of gcse, maybe to be an expert as in career level it is possible to take that long but for gcse no way. There's under 1032 hours till gcse exams and when you exclude basic things like eating, school itself and sleeping there's not much time at all but still plenty to improve in maths but it will require a lot of revision. There's definitely time but not if you leave it till after easter
I kept getting 5s in maths but in my last I finally managed to get an 8.
What is your exam board. The sources you can use to revise are relatively the same. There's hardly any difference in content between edexcel and aqa but edexcel are harder and with aqa there's more questions which always seem to come up like Venn diagrams, histograms, vectors, to name a few. They way they ask question is also different so it's better to use practice papers for your exam board.

With maths you've got to practice loads. You said you've been doing past papers so that's good, have you understood all the questions you've got wrong? Are you still practicing other topics you think you are weak it because just doing practice papers means you may not come across a certain topic you're not good at, and if you haven't practiced them then you're screwed in the exam well at least for that question.
Of you don't understand a topic from the method in the book, then look it up online or YouTube it.

With maths you still need to revise the easy topics and I'm not just saying this because of the questions in foundation and higher but because with the easier topics, you might come across harder questions on it so you might not be quite as good at that topic as you thought. With higher maths there is lots of problem solving around 25-35%, compared to 15-25% for foundation, so if you can't problem solving on a topic it usally means you're not fully confident with a topic or as confident as you thought you were.
To be honest to aim for a 7 you don't actually need to know all topics or be able to do majority of questions, but I definitely wouldn't suggest avoiding topics you're really weak at or hate though.

Websites people commonly use or find helpful are Corbett maths, just maths and maths genie. If you don't already have a Workbook or revision guide youo should get one but it's better to get one for your exam board even though edexcel and aqa are pretty same in content.
If you finish doing all the ones for your exam board then try the other ones as they still test on same s skills, and you could also get a set like the cgp practice paper set, Churchill practice paper set.

Isthere any specific topics you don't understand.

While I'm still not a pro at maths, I have improved a lot, and am quite good at it now so know more about what to do, so feel free to message me for help.

Thanks you are really motivating me I have edexcel.And yes I try to go over questions I don't get with youtube videos. I have started revision before easter but only slightly but now in easter I am doing a hour a day.

this booklet is really helpful

With my year 10 mocks I pretty much done no revision, except reading my book and practicing a slight bit. Last mocks I revised quite a lot but still not enough and only a few weeks before and I done practice papers but I wasn't doing very well with them, only getting like 27/30, but now when I do practice papers I usually get around 70 in paper 1, 60 in paper 2 and 50 in paper 3.
Edexcel and aqa grade boundaries are different but you need around at least 130 marks for a 7, it was 131 for the mocks I just had which were aqa ones. But it's better to aim for above 140 marks just to be safe.

I'm not going to say how much you need to revise for maths but depending on how you feel with all the topics, it might take over an hour a day in total, but if you start doing the harder topics first, then you should be able to speed through the easier topics even if you are struggling with it because it should be easier and quicker to understand.

Yeah it's easier to relate since I was in the same position, and I haven't been a person always getting 7s or above.
I'm happy to heard that.
Good luck!

If you don't mind me asking what were your gcse results not just for maths but for everything you seem super hardworking and smart.

How long and how much revision did it take you to go from getting 30 to 60 70 marks

Ages, for me like several hours over a few weeks but it's not too late now to improve.
It will be quicker if you're a quicker learner as well, and rather than going through every topic, go over every topic in the practice paper or past paper you got a question wrong in.

Ok bro what do you think i can get with 5 weeks left every day maths like 2 hours.
I can currently get roughly around 30 marks per paper

It might not seem like a lot, but 2 hours a day every day over 5 weeks will be plenty aim for at least a 7, and you are more than capable because even getting 30 in each paper is 90 overall so a 5 so you must be at least okay or semi decent at maths
What's your exam board for maths?

AQA yh I am aiming for a 7 or higher. I actually like maths its just i havent really tried or revised until last month. I know I am capable of getting a 7 or 8 if Ijust practise a lot and do at least 2 hours a day. Any other tips you have for me bro?

Yeah I do aqa too, haven't heard of much people doing AQA, aim for an 8 then, grade boundaries aren't actually that high, it is higher for aqa but it makes erne cause it's much easier than edexcel, to get an 8 you would need no more than 47 marks even if grade boundaries increase by quite a bit and for an 8 no more than about 58 marks per paper.
Just practice like you're doing or planning to so wether it's worksheets, workbooks, revision guide questions but make sure you're doing practice papers. Whatever you don't get make from practice papers make sure you try to understand all of it.

Have you had November 2017 Paper for a mock?

Yh from the november papers grade 5. I have the CGP workbook and have the november papers with me. My teacher gave me this booklet "aiming for grade 7" and i have just being going through that making sure i can do everything as she said I would secure a grade 7 from answering everything from there. Then going back to the papers and any question i couldnt do i answer it from what i have learnt.
