Gcse maths

I want to pass my Maths GCSE with garde 6. But, I am too weak in mathematics. Suggest me some books and any website which can help me to improve my maths skills.

1.

If you lack knowledge of content then GCSE maths tutor on youtube is good. Also try to ask your teacher for notes if you are missing any. You can also try looking at the GCSE maths specification online for whichever board you are doing.

2.

If you lack technique/applying in the exam, then practise papers. This allows you to practice active recall under timed and pressured conditions. Hope this helps.

I second using practice papers, as even if you don't remember the content exactly you can recognise patterns in the types of questions they ask and how to solve those, what to include, etc.
BBC Bitesize is good for some of the content you have at GCSE, it's always an option if you don't understand something

Corbett maths- videos, worksheets, 5-a-day (absolutely brill)
Mathswatch if your school has it
Blooket for learning formuli and doing arithmetic practice, also if you want something fun!
First class maths on YouTube is very good for explaining concepts :smile:

My biggest piece of advice would be leave the MC questions until last - they are designed to trip you up and many students get them all wrong.
