19

hi i need advice as i have the real gsce maths exams coming up in november or may and im scared to take it
everytime i take the exams i end up failing and i feel like a failure
i am a bit happy that in one of my mocks i got a grade 3
but i need to get a grade 4 so that i can get that over and done with it
i keep seeing or hearing that people can higher than me and it makes me feel like i may never pass
i got an offical grade in my gsces of 2 and im am not happy about it
i wanted to go to sixth form but that path didn't open for me :frown:

any advice on how i can go from a grade 2 to 4?

Practice- Corbett maths 5-a-day is great for this.
If you get a question wrong, watch a video on the topic (gcsemathstutor and Corbett are great)
Then do a bunch more of questions on the same topic

for me a lot of people said to do past papers and do corbett 5 - a day but that did work for me honestly because i didn’t know but i feel like look at a past paper topic the ones with the higher marks then learn it honestly it will help

also for foundations maths you need to get about like 60/80 for a grade 5
where’s as higher maths you needs like 20/80 for a grade 4
so if you really want a grade or 5 you can get it
i would jus say look in past papers and look at a 4 and 5 markers and learn how to do them so u can easily get over 20 markers
idk if u understand

Try learning all topics from Grade 1 - 5 on Maths Genie if your doing foundation and do the questions that are found with them. If you need help, The GCSE maths tutor (as mentioned above) and the maths genie videos themselves are good and helpful to watch. Essentially, do a lot of past papers from the exam board to ensure your fully prepared.

I Hope that helps,
Good luck ! :smile:
