How do you learn best in GCSE maths? Open to resit students, too!

I work at a college and look after the maths department (as well as other departments). I was a resit student and had to take the exam 5 times to pass (I know right!) so I have some idea of how I learn best, but I thought I'd open it up to a larger range of students. So, what helps you to study/ revise for GCSE or Functional Skills maths?

Just doing questions over and over again until it sticks in your head I think is best, also look at past papers, if there are questions in them you can't do, do questions based on that topic until you can do it.

I found that worked best for me, too. I have a website dedicated to resit maths and have links to past papers and self-marking quizzes, so students can do them and instantly get a response. Is there anything else that helps you?

As I do A-Level, there is a lot more stuff I have to learn compared to GCSE, I use Seneca to learn the statistics and mechanics part of A-Level Maths, as well as A-Level Business. What exam board are you doing?

Seneca is a great tool. We currently use CENTURY Tech as it uses AI to support learning. We use AQA.

I found using the Mathswatch CD invaluable when doing GCSE Maths, being able to go over each topic as many times as I wanted and then apply what I'd learned to past paper questions. I honestly don't think I would have achieved the grade I did without the extra help it gave me

Thanks for your response! Can I ask - what was it about the CD that was invaluable? The way the info was explained? Do you think it would have a similar approach as a video?
