how to improve in maths a level?

i recently had an end of topic test for maths - pure & applied. i knew i did badly in my applied one but the pure one felt ok. turns out in the end i did rlly bad on both - on the verge of a fail for my applied one !!!!!!!! does anyone have any tips on how i can improve? i feel like i do understand the content, just don’t know how to apply it onto exam questions (this was the same for gcse tbh)
thanks!!!!!

What were they about?

for applied it was just the first few topics - probability & stats mostly
for pure it was algebraic expressions, quadratics, inequalities & that stuff (though i think i’m definitely not TOO bad in pure maths, just panicked a bit & made a ton of stupid calculation mistakes)

So for the probability and stats is it binomial .... or? Have you worked through the questions you got wrong / asked your teacher/classmates/here about what you tried to do?

Apart from the generic - read the textbook/watch the videos, do the textbook questions and try exam questions, reflect on problems you have etc, you probably need to break it down and focus on the particular problems youre having and typically each topics has lots of bits and you really need to be on top of most of them to answer exam questions.

yes for the stats & probability it was binomial stuff. i have got myself a maths mentor (a student in the year above) who is currently helping me go through the assessment & i’m slowly beginning to understand where i went wrong.
i’ve also set myself a goal of revising 1hr of maths a day at least to try & get used to the questions.

apart from that, i guess i could try doing some more refined revision & picking out what i’m the weakest at,
thanks !!!!!
