Maths

Hi, dk if this will be much help but I got an A in maths A level Edexcel and at the start of yr 12 I was getting Cs all the way through. I gather from all the things you've tried you are practicing a lot, but honestly the only way I brought my grade up was by practicing loads and every time I didn't understand something I would ask someone who was in my class bc I find they often explain it better that teachers. I really struggled with the applied math so I'd watch youtube videos on how to do them and then after every question I would do 5 similar questions from a textbook - I found that worked really well for learning mechanics and stats. Pure maths i would say is harder to grasp but once you find a method of doing them it becomes a lot easier. I found that my teachers method of doing something wasnt always the easiest for me so i would sometimes look up different methods online or even use photomath (app) and see the method they would use. Also as you probably know a lot of the marks in maths comes from accuracy and method marks - also follow on marks. so even if you know youve done something horrifically wrong - follow it on to part b/c etc and you may pick up marks this way too.

Thank you so much for replying. I've been feeling really bummed about it. Do you think it would be better for me to practice questions from the textbook or from online? And if ones from the textbook, do you suggest doing the easy questions or the last 5 ones which are the hardest?
