A level Mathematics Edexcel Help

So I just recently started year 12 now doing Maths alongside chemistry and C.S. However chemistry and C.S are both going great for me, but for maths somehow I feel like I lost quite some knowledge from Maths GCSE which I find worrying. I really love maths and planning to do that at uni, although I got an A for maths GCSE, I want to get an A* for this A-LEVEL. In pure maths textbook, the chapters started off easy but as most of those topics were largely GCSE on the other chapters, I could not attempt some and when I try recovering knowledge I feel like I am losing time with this subject and limiting my revision time with others and not keeping up to date.

Please share any ideas on what I could do, Thank you

Watch YouTube videos, try do mixed exercise and then move onto exam questions from madasmaths or mathsgenie

Maths is just practice, just do as many questions as you can 🙂 I was also in the same boat in the beginning and now I’m predicted an A*

🙂Thank you for the advice. I do watch Zeeshan zamurred and Haberdashers before I do every chapters, and I do use Drfrostmaths too. I also try the challenge questions along with the mixed exercise . But still I did feel like I was missing some key things from the GCSE before doing these questions but now I will make sure to cover any key bits that correlates before starting the chapters in the textbook

Good luck! Remember to do your best and try not to compare yourself to people in your class. Everyone works at their own pace and I promise you other people in your class also feel the same way you do right now. Just put in the work and you’ll be fine :smile:

Yo, don’t stress too much, mate! GCSE maths and A-level maths are like different leagues, so it’s normal to feel a bit lost at first. Focus on recapping those GCSE basics for a solid foundation, then dive into A-level topics. Try working on past papers and practice daily — that’s key for an A*. Don’t sleep on that revision, and maybe link up with a mate or group chat for some accountability. You got this!

Here's my method i went from a U to a B in a couple months: First i throgoughly read the textbook and if i dont understand something I will watch Hinds Maths youtube channel and he goes through the example, if still dont understand watch bicen maths. Then I do all the excercises in the book and then mixed excercsies. Then go in PMT and do all the exercises there and you should be prepped.
