Can I get from a grade 2 to 4 in maths by the end of may? I'm terrible at maths and have never been good at it.

I have started doing 4-5 hours a day over Easter and 2 of these hours are dedicated to maths. I am determined to pass.

Secondly, get off TSR, Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter and start putting the work in!

wow. that's amazing. can you give me some tips.

Is it:
Mistake- you know how to do the question but you've put the wrong number in the equation (e.g put sin in the cosine rule and done a^2=b^2+c^2-2bcsinA instead of cosA). If you've made a mistake then you presumably know the topic, but you've just had a small slip up. Maybe have a look on one of the useful maths resources websites listed below to help with your revision.
Method- you've used the wrong method to answer the question and you've been given the wrong answer. If you've used the wrong method, have a look at the correct method and re-attempt the question. If you are able to get the correct answer then that's brill. Practice these sorts of questions using the resources down below.
Not knowing the content- Re-learn the content (using some of the suggestions listed below) and then re-attempt using the listed resources.
When you are re-learning content, make flashcards/notes on this revision and look over it frequently. Re-learning it once will NOT keep it in your brain for ever:
This shows that the more you look at the content, the more you will remember it.
Useful resources for re-learning content:
Hegartymaths (youtube) also has a website but your school needs a paid subscription- has lots of qs and it has genuinely helped
Mathswatch (paid)
Collins/CGP revision guides
Asking your teacher- they are there to help you, after all
Also there are various other maths youtubers, if you search the topic you are struggling on there is likely to be a video explaining it
Useful resources for testing your knowledge:

Specimen papers (the key to success)

If you know maths inside out you will smash it and get that 9
