Yeah do a **** load of past paper questions. It really does work. If your not good enough at past paper questions yet then learn the topics -> topic questions -> past papers.

Tgmt , maths genie, cognito,physics and maths tutor past paper questions to recognise questions, acknowledge weaker topics and to work on your timing

Yes definitely. There’s maths GCSE tutor on YouTube who does videos and question/paper walkthroughs

I got 96% in my maths exam and I’m imploring you to practice questions topic by topic and then starting past papers. Don’t start them too early as they aren’t helpful at that point.
