How to relearn GCSE Maths?

Whilst doing my revision it’s becoming apparent that I’m having to teach myself many concepts instead of just revising them.

This is kind of worrying to me since I’d need to get a 6. How do I relearn basically everything? I find it especially hard figuring out what the question wants me to answer and how to go about it.

I do know some stuff but sadly ‘some’ just isn’t enough.

Any help would be hugely appreciated; thank you :smile:
Find a good revision guide that comes with questions and answers so that you can test yourself on everything you learn. I suggest going to a local bookshop (Waterstones has them, I don't know about others) and looking at their range of guides as that way you won't be surprised by the format or anything! Practice makes perfect, and even if you need additional help later then you'll at least know what you need to know and have had some opportunity of practicing.
