maths gcse help

I'd identify your weak areas then hammer them with specific question practise.
I've found the best websites to use for this to be
because both provide fully handwritten worked solutions so you can really work out each step which I think is a bit hard with the official marking guides.
Once you've targeted tricky areas it's a question of doing as many past papers as you can.
Again it's helpful if you can do past papers where you are able to source a worked solution as they are particularly good for those longer, multi-part questions which combine two topic areas and tend to come towards the end of the papers. Often the stumbling block on these is working out exactly where to begin if you are not super fluent in maths so the more questions you've seen the quicker you'll find the key to unlocking them
Maths is one of those subjects where you can massively improve by 'doing'...just keep crunching through questions but don't waste your time on areas you've mastered already. Be strategic

hi, I hope you all are well.
Currently, I will be doing my GCSEs this year(2024). I am currently working at grade 6 in maths. I really enjoy maths and find it so interesting but I really struggle with it, with questions mixed with topics like ratio and geometry. I only have one month left so can anyone please suggest me what can I do.
I want to take Maths as A level and I may do a degree in mathematics if possible. How difficult is maths A level and how difficult it is to get A or A star in A level maths. How will be maths A level for me if I am working at grade 6 in GCSE.
I am extremely worried as I want to at least achieve grade 7 in maths so please suggest me what shall I do, I will really appreciate it.
I hope you will understand me and help me as soon as possible.
Thank you

I was hoping to study maths at a-level and was told a grade 7 was needed for it, unsure if this is the same everywhere though!

Hi, I'm sort of in a similar predicament since I'm getting a grade 7 when I want an 8 with GCSE coming up. I think it all comes down to WHY you keep getting it wrong eg. You can't recognise what the question is asking from you or you're forgetting the method required to answer them. If it's the latter, write out the methods and memorise them, then sit a few hours and pummel it into your memory by doing questions. If it's the former, the start with doing questions, take 5 minutes to analyse and understand them and then do it. If you don't understand the questions then tutorials are probably best (corbett maths). I think a month is enough time to go up a grade and as for A levels, whilst most schools prefer grade 7, 6 is usually enough. A level maths is pretty hard but if you enjoy it, that takes half the strain off. My older brother took A level maths, taking the exam this year, and he got a 9. It was easy for him in GCSE but due to not studying that much he's panicking now. His advice to me was that I should start revising early. What I'm trying to say is that getting better GCSE grades will probably indicate that maths will feel easier for you, however even if you find it difficult if you put enough time into it you'll probably get the A. Also, by studying for like 8h a day this week I managed to go up a grade in chem so it's not impossible to improve in a month if you work hard enough.

105/160 so 66%

but it is out of 240. there are three papers, each paper is out of 80 marks meaning marks for all three papers should be 80 x 3 = 240 marks in total. can you please tell me your marks for each paper separately.

Ohh sorry In my school the mock was only 2 papers to save time, 1 calc, 1 non calc. In the calculator paper I got 57/80 and 48/80 on the non calc

I'm assuming I'd have gotten similar results on the third. My main issue is silly mistakes and I made a ton on the non calc which I did first + I was really nervous so it brought my overall grade down. People usually do slightly worse on the first paper/their first time which is why u shouldn't worry too much about mocks.

I actually did well in my recent mocks for paper 1 and paper 2 but dropped so many marks for paper 3 which made my grade down.

At least that suggests you know most of the content properly. It might also suggest it's the newer stuff you learnt that you're struggling on so you really just need to get a bit more familiar with that stuff.

I actually got less than your marks for paper 1 and same as you for paper 2 and about 10-12 marks less than paper 2 in paper 3. Yes you are right I know the content but I struggle to apply to it sometimes (mostly with problem solving questions and questions that require mixture of different topics to solve like ratio with geometry&algebra etc), I have to learn some stuff that I dont know already.

Good news is that you know where your weaker areas are and you like the subject. I would go on mathsgenie and go through the topic questions until you can securely do them, and then just do as many past papers as you possibly can. Maths is literally just practicing the skills - especially for GCSE. You'll be fine!
