Muslim/general advice in maths💗

Hey everyone!
I feel really upset and gutted about how my paper 1 maths GCSE exam went, and I’m really nervous for the others, (especially bcuz it’s edexcel..) I would really appreciate my fellow Muslims to pray for me for a good mark in this maths exam and also for my paper 2 and 3, since I would really like to get a 6 in GCSE maths :smile:💗 I would also love some general advice on how to study maths more efficiently, since i did so many past papers for my paper 1 but still didn’t feel like I achieved my best - It really burns me out because I feel like I’m working really hard and getting no where
Good luck for anyone else doing their GCSE’s or any other exams, I hope you do your absolute best :smile: you can do this!
And do pls keep me in your prayers when possible 💗💗💗 thank you so much for reading😊

hiii dw INSHA ALLAH u will do amazing on paper 2 and paper 3 ill pray for u! in terms of revision, if you havent already make sure u have a checklist of all the maths topics u can find them online and print it out and bsc just go thry every single topic on there and do questions on it. also, make sure to first ACE those grade 1 2 3 topics becayse im a grade 8/9 student myself but i only properly understood how to do LCM like yesterday.. so i would say first make sure u know those easy basic topics before going on to the harder ones. aslo, id say dont do past papers yet first do exam questions for each topic, (which is bsc past papers) then move onto full past papers once ur confident. also, there are also many lviestreams the day before the exam i joined one yesterday and it acc was really useful. also, in the exam make sure ur always showing ur working out for every qu even if u dont understand it if ujsut write some random formula related to the qu or do some random calculations u WILL get method marks, even if the final answer isnt correct. also, on the topics u dont understand i wud recommned just watchign some videos and then do some exam questions to see if u can apply it well. theres so many websites u can get these resources from like 1st class maths and mymaths cloud (personally i think maths genie is too easy for gcse style questions). if ur running out of time, try doing the questions from the bottom of the worksheet as they are the hardest. there are also aiming for grade 7, 8 9 booklets that u can find anywhere online. so bsc to summarise ofc do high level questions but first ace those easier topics cuz then theres absolutely no point as the harder questions require u to implement ur knowledge from easier topics. i hopem that helps!!
