GCSE Maths

I do higher maths papers, and my exam board is Ocr . Does anyone have useful websites (mainly questions) or ways to help with harder maths questions? It seems that no matter how much I revise the questions I get, I cannot answer them or know where even to start.

You can set the level of the drfrost questions, so 3 or 4 and there are quite a few grade 8/9 "papers" kicking around

Practice is important and how to get started somewhat depends on the question type, so its kind of hard to give generic advice. But its worth spending a bit of time on questions youre struggling with trying different things before looking at solutions.

It may also be worth looking at the last 5 or so exam questions from other boards (edexcel, aqa, ...), if you want to practice on harder ones. While there may be a slight difference in style, the practice will be the main thing. Also if you struggle to find a route in, why not post in maths - f38 with the odd question?
