Advice for Maths

Don’t use notes for maths, and anyone that tells you to use notes is wrong
Maths is about practice – there are only a few exceptions where you should write notes
and that is:
- Sin, cos and tan graphs
- Transformations and transformations of graphs
- Circle theorems
- Exact trigonometric values

For each topic,

Watch a dr frost maths video on youtube by searching:

“[Topic name] dr frost”

Try the questions on the video and then see how he does it

Do at the VERY LEAST 1 past paper per week for the entire year, and any topics you
don’t get, ask your teacher, or watch a dfm video. Do the paper again to check you can
get 100%, ensuring you understand every single question. Don’t move on until you’ve
understood EVERY SINGLE QUESTION.

By June, you’ll have done probably around 40 past papers which is perfect. These should
provide you with at least 100 past papers to go through (incl IGCSE and old spec) . Do all
of them if maths is your weak subject:

Also, I recommend doing IGCSE papers because they can be challenging and help to
prepare you for the last 25% of the exam which is usually harder than the first part. If
you are a grade 7-9 student (or aiming for this) I would strongly recommend you to do
only the last 5 questions of all the papers, ensure you get 100% and thus you should be
able to complete the rest of it with ease. If your run out of past papers use the old spec
past papers, but be careful with them because they are often easier than the newer ones
– nevertheless, edexcel and maths cloud should be PLENTY.

Watch video  Practice  Learn from your mistakes  Practise again.

That’s how I got 226/240 😊
