This year I'm going into year 13, and I have failed Gcse maths again!!
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong in my revision for maths, whilst doing pastpapers I was getting good enough scores to pass, and I have found out recently that I have failed again. I don't even know how to break it to my parents and I did mediocore in my year 12 mocks, can anyone give me pointers on how to pass gcse maths?
Find question type you can't do, ask for help (friends, family, me), youtube it, google it -- do this until you get it. Even if you're stuck on that one question for a couple of days. I know this is not efficient but you need to have a strong foundation before you start doing loads of questions.
-Most importantly, be honest about whether you understand something or not -- if you don't that is okay, you just need address it bit by bit

Don't underestimate the importance of knowledge. It's not all about being "good at maths". Certainly the more you understand the better but before you can understand something you have to know it. I'd recommend a good set of revision cards as a way of building the knowledge that you need. Alongside building that knowledge you should, of course, practise answering questions.

This is really good advice. I would also recommend you purchase a CGP maths book and try and go through that. Whilst, also making flashcards if you don't already have any.
