How to go from a 1 to a 4 in a month for Gcse maths

Im doing my gcse maths retake in summer and i need a 4, is 1 month enough to study and whats the best way to revise

Things that I would focus on:


There's not much you can do in 1 month. If you had at least 6 months, you can make substantial progress. As you only have 1 month, you would want to focus on the critical areas to do what you can.
Focus on the result i.e. what you will ultimately end up doing, the exam. Any end of chapter questions are nice to help you learn, but they are not exam questions usually. Actual exam questions will test you on knowing what you need to use as well as how to use it.

A better question to ask is why did you leave it so late?

You try balancing 4 A levels and keeping those grades above water and plus trying to revise for gcse maths and then get back to me

You can do it don't worry, 4 is certainly achievable if not higher. First get a hold of a book like the edexcel cgp book (depending on your exam board but all exam boards are pretty similar) and go through the topics and practice questions. Then do some mathsgenie/corbett maths topic questions and then do the practice papers in timed conditions. Make sure you've understood the topic before moving on and practice questions/papers consistently.

Make sure to plan in advance how long you think it'll take you to go through the topics and prioritise. If you're doing foundation then practice those papers, it also means you've got less content to worry about.

You can use the specification as a guide for what they expect you to know, watch YouTube videos just make sure you can answer the questions and that you're practicing. You can definitely do this.
