DR FROST MATHS- https://www.drfrostmaths.com/
you can answer questions and do exam style questions on DR FROST MATHS. If you struggle with a certain question, there are also links to videos on how to answer the questions.
Mathsgenie & corbettmaths
These are websites with questions with multiple topics. They have video links too with the certain topic. I would definitely use these websites to revise topics you might not understand or need a bit more practice on.

There are multiple videos with explanations for a topic which are helpful.

As well as the above, a decent revision guide/summary is good for making sure you know the syllabus

is free and good. The gcse maths tutor

videos ... are also generally recommended along with the stuff mentioned above.

Hi, I'm a third year maths student so I thought I might be able to offer some tips:
1)The corbett maths flashcards are an excellent resource. I used them all the time when I was doing my GCSEs and they were really helpful to know which parts of maths you need to revise more.
2) Work out which topics you struggle with and write key facts about them on pieces of paper and stick them somewhere you'll see them every day.
3) The best way of learning maths is to do questions. If you're struggling with a particular topic, there's lots of websites online that will have extra questions that you can do.
4) If you want help on a particular subject there's lots of great videos on youtube that explain the topics really well.

I hope this helps!

As someone who just finished year 10 and gave their IGCSE math exam, I’d say that if you school subscribed to mathswatch, the videos on there are pretty helpful. Past papers helped me a lot too, so you could try do those.
