Is it possible to get from a grade 3 to grade 6

Hey,
I am currently in year 11 and have recieved a grade 3 (a few marks from a 4) on my maths mock HIGHER paper.

I am devastated as I had done so badly, and I found the questions incredibly difficult. I need a grade 6 in maths to get into an A level that I want to do baldy. I am terrible at maths, but I want to do well.

Is there any chance for me to get a grade 6? I do the ocr paper and there isn't a lot of time left before the GCSE...
Any suggestions on what can help, i am incredibly stressed about this.

There is loads of time to improve before the exams in May and June.

Most of the free online resources tend to focus on Edexcel or AQA past questions but the OCR specification is very similar even if the wording of questions can be a bit different.

The Mathsgenie web site is an excellent place for maths revision. Practice of exam style questions is vital to improve your maths grade. Start with the easier grade 4/5 topics and work your way up.
The GCSE Maths Tutor on YouTube is another excellent resource. Corbett maths 5 a day is a nice way of being prompted to do a little bit of maths practice every day to build up skill and confidence, start with foundation plus and move up to higher tier as you improve. 3rd Space Learning do some great free worksheets, easy to follow topic summaries and useful predicted papers around exams time. For the actual exams, 1st Class Maths produce helpful predicted papers around exam time that give useful practice on the topics that are most likely to come up.

If you set up a free account on the Dr Frost Web site you can do past paper questions online that are marked for you and you can see where you need to do some revision. I also really like the way it lets you build your own topic tests interactively so you can work on any weak areas.

If you were in Year 10 and wanted to follow a more structured programme then the MissB Maths Passports are very good. Time is short however, but have a look and see if they work for you.

One of my friends went from a grade 3 in december to a very decent grade 8 in May.

yeah it is possible, I went from a 4 in my y10 mock to a 7 in my y11 mock- haven't done my actual gcses yet but im aiming for an 8 or hopefully 9.

it took a lot of work but main thing to do is practice. I did all the questions in my cgp maths question book and I did pretty much all the questions on maths genie. If you don't understand the topic then go on YouTube, watch a video on it (gcsemathstutor is a good one) and make notes, after that practice exam questions (exampro.co.uk is really good because you can filter different topics- even if youre not doing Edexcel its still a useful tool) and even do practice papers even if you haven't covered all the content because practising each individual topic is one skill and knowing when to use which one in an exam is completely different. That's the main reason why I didn't do as well as I wanted to do in year 10.

This year my teacher set us an exam paper to do every week until the actual exams, I can already see where my weaknesses lie so I would recommend that too. If you want to do better than a 6, then the best thing to do would be to create a table and order it by how well you know each topic e.g. form 1 to 10. work on the ones you know least until every topic is rated 8 and above.
hope this helped x
