Remember, you are sitting the Edexcel Linear Mathematics GCSE (calculator and non-calculator)
Remember:
1) Believe in yourself! You can achieve in mathematics if you revise effectively.
2) Practice, practice, practice! Practice until you can't get it wrong.
3) Mark every piece of revision practice you do - did you get full marks? If not, what did I need to do? Can I attempt a similar question to see if I can now get it right?
4) Practice every day - to truly achieve in mathematics, it will take consistent practice. This does not mean that you neglect revising for your other exams, every subject is important. You must create a realistic revision timetable to make sure that you give enough attention to every subject in the lead up to your exams.
5) Use the resources available to you:
- Your Collins revision guide - it has concise explanations as well as practice questions and answers
- MyMaths - Online and interactive, you can explore a concept and then attempt activities which are marked for you.
