You are absolutely right. They should show this in schools and say "this is what we mean when we say..." (cause there so many skills, like how he skips questions to come back and looks at marks)
You know what I didn't think I'd be doing today? Watching a grown man sit a maths gcse with a dog asleep on him. Give me an infinite amount of time I'd not guess that.
Having seen the Ben and Jerry’s freezer in the background, I feel the real reason why jimbo isn’t there is cuz Will wouldn’t let him keep the freezer 😭
huge difficulty inflation. over time people adapt to the difficulty and so grades go up, meaning exams need to get harder my gran (an ex-biology teacher) says the stuff we learn for gcse was a-level and above when she was teaching lmaoo
@@backupwhatever8928 honestly you’ll be fine. i ended up sitting intermediate not higher tier bc i was in school for the whole of year 11. but i got a B on that (the highest grade you can get) without opening a text book the whole year or going to lessons.
Please make more of these - this is literally ideal revision as a year 11 student. It’s so easy to watch and teaches me the method quickly. Thanks will!
sorry to burst you bubble but this exam rlly is a piece of piss, but you shouldnt be nervous, if you get your head down, youll feel exactly how will does in this video :)
I didn't start revising until year 11 and got nothing below a 6 in all my GCSEs, it's good if you put post its in a place you look at a lot e.g. your mirror. And then you subconsciously learn stuff
Already done my gcse a few years ago but this video makes me feel like u took all the stress of the exam being serious and stressful. Like not to worry too much vibes
Christ - This has given me anxiety, especially considering that I'd forgotten everything about circle theorem and that "Congruency" was a term... plus I've completely forgotten how to simplify factorials
Question 2 asked for an estimate, which if I remember rightly means just take the first significant digit of each number, i.e. do 60x0.8/200 = 48/200 = 0.24
Tbh I have been going through a lot recently and the only thing that makes me happy is family friends and wills vids just gotta say out of everyone I’ve watched you have always been my favourite
Did this with you, mine has slipped as well. Most of what you got wring was working out. When you got the working wrong you still got the right answer. When you got the answer wrong you had good working out. I got a low A doing this paper with you. You're still clever. I got an A* in maths and now barely scrape an A
I never did proper GCSEs. reason being, i missed year 9 as i took a year out of school when i was 14 because i was recovering from a back operation (it was 9hrs and had to learn to walk again), so i when i was in year 9 i was a whole year older than everyone else which resulted in me not doing year 11 and going straight from year 10 to college which I then, whilst doing a childcare course, did key skills maths and English equivalent gcses, on the computer, multiple choice which was wayyyy easier and less stressful....
I got A's in both my nat 5 and higher maths, only been out of school for almost 3 years, and can confidently say I could barely answer a single one of those questions
I would probably not do well on a non calculator maths paper now, I'm currently mid way through an engineering masters so my entire life with maths just revolves around matlab at this point. Barely use normal calculators now
How can you be questioning Basil for having a bottle cap - when the real question is... why do you still have the B&J Freezer after Jimbo won it fair and square?? 👀
As the WIllNE channels resident American, I assume this is the English equivalent to our SAT/ACT which we take to go from high school (I think your secondary school) to college (obviously your university) and they were more similar than I expected. I was horrible at math so I did bad lmao but I remember seeing a lot of this, wording is very different but that's to be expected
Almost! GCSEs are taken to go from secondary to what the UK calls college-it’s different to university, you go from ages 16 to 18. I think this specific paper is a foundation maths paper, so it’s not testing the whole GCSE maths curriculum.
@@itmoi9507 Interesting, so what you guys are doing at 16 we're doing at 18. I always wondered why your drinking age was so low but that makes much more sense considering how yours is pretty much half way in between college like ours is rather than at the end of our high school lol.
if this was a higher paper 10 years ago then what were the foundation papers like?? this seems like smth i would've had for a foundation paper last year
U probably won’t see this but I rlly hope u do Ekin-su from love island the one who went with Davide is going to be on celebrity big brother just a recommendation to watch that

George and James never made another of those videos 😢
james is coming back, they filmed together today (will posted a pic on his insta)
Or vikkstar
Did you know he's trilingual?
To be fair, despite the fact that his maths has slipped, that was an absolute masterclass in exam technique
You are absolutely right. They should show this in schools and say "this is what we mean when we say..." (cause there so many skills, like how he skips questions to come back and looks at marks)
@@user-tt5ro5qm9eskipping over questions you don’t know and looking at marks is common sense
i mostly love his attitude, i cant believe i overlooked this but im gonna think like he does in my exam in 2 days
Someone needs to count how many times he says “piece of piss” 😭
he says it 9.5 times. 9 times but near the end he said “piece of…” without finishing it :)
😭🙏

May you get grade 9s in august 🙏🏾
damn i did mine last year. good luck mate
I never knew Will was such a maths genius
So refreshing compared to the cringe way people usually say "oh i'm terrible at maths" as if it were an achievement
@@dualcrocadile a flex n all 🤣
He got 47 marks..
It’s a foundation paper
@@ahaha272no? That was higher
Basil resting on his arm was adorable

"grown man" - I laughed at that bit. Will maybe 6 foot tall, but he is still a kid at heart
Basil honestly is such a cutie❤
Will + Basil are life. 2 cuties !
Another fucking comment from u
Stop begging for likes on every video I go on
.
He is
8:33 "you can't really be doing this in the exam hall" HE IS CRA3LING ON THE TABLE
GIVE JIMBO HIS FREEZER 🙏🙏🙏
THANK YOU!!!! At least someone else noticed it
didn't know they did maths in newcastle
They don't do English in Sunderland
thought everyone up there left school at 10 to start claiming benefits
@@aooiibhee ouch. harsh.
In areas of England they're aware of capital letters.
@@catherinewalker8493 🤣oh god.
7:22 OI WHYS THAT BEN AND JERRY FRIDGE STILL THERE!? JIMBO 100% WON THAT IN A PREVIOUS VID😳
James was right all along...
WILL EXPLAIN YOURSELF
he probably didn't want to have to lug it back home with him because doesn't he live in Brighton?
Having seen the Ben and Jerry’s freezer in the background, I feel the real reason why jimbo isn’t there is cuz Will wouldn’t let him keep the freezer 😭
I'd rather him not be there anyway tbh
honestly even the 1st question frazzled my brain, shout out to youtube for literally killing my 3 brain cells
As a person currently studying a maths degree in uni I also have no clue what a box plot is
A lot of things become stats specific later, at GCSE level it's all just thrown into a general maths subject instead.
me and you both
I think it's a statistics thing? Ik you do more of it in the stats paper in A-level maths
I take A-Level maths and I can say that box plots are in the stats section of maths.
i kinda remember box plots but never heard of a frequency polygon in my life
i would happily see you sit through other exams, its so funny to see you approach a question already knowing you’ve no idea what to do 🤣
Basil actually makes my heart melt
This seems way easier than the ones I sat last year 😭
I’m sitting mine next year and I wish mine would be this simple, I’d get full marks 😭
Literally !
I did mine in 2019 and this paper is similar to foundation paper rather than a higher one.

How has will got me watching him taking a GCSE maths exam on his second channel
Already done my gcse a few years ago but this video makes me feel like u took all the stress of the exam being serious and stressful. Like not to worry too much vibes
doing my mocks right now so, thanks for the revision help!
Are we just going to brushover 04:00 where it says "Key: Yes please" 😂😂
i was searching the comments praying someone else noticed this hahah
I wouldve paid my life savings if my GCSE maths non-calculator was this easy 😭
Christ - This has given me anxiety, especially considering that I'd forgotten everything about circle theorem and that "Congruency" was a term... plus I've completely forgotten how to simplify factorials
Same here. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to crack open some of those old maths books because this is embarrassing.
@@rkah6187 As much as I hate to admit it, I think you may be right 😭
Me too, I've forgotten too much maths stuff!
You've forgotten it because you never use it so does it really matter?
This is lowkey helping me revise for my GCSEs in June
Appreciate looking the part with the blouse
Jimbo Mazza is making a great cameo as an invisible man this video
15:04 the way i thought for a sec he clapped basil’s head 😅
I’m gonna edge to this

I'm gonna edge to this comment
I’m gonna google but on Microsoft edge

Sir!
Using this as my maths revision on the same day as my maths exam, thanks Will
This could make a good series, do your science papers next too!
not me doing the problems along with him...never in my life would i have expected that willne's second channel would refresh my math skills
literally got a maths gcse ad 😭
(also basil falling asleep in wils arms is so cute im sobbing)

Stay strong brother 🙂
Keep pushing through mate
I hope you’re soon through the rough patch that you’re going through. Whatever it is, I am certain you will come out stronger and more resilient.
You doing this has made me realise how much I don’t miss year 11
Will I’m from Swalwell in Gateshead. Am glad you’ve posted I’m lying here watching the video tucking into nothing other than a bottle of Broon ale

i feel like an idiot considering i did my gcses less than a year ago and idfk how to do half these questions
Basil!
10/10 video
not a clue about the maths though
as somebody now taking a level maths i have already forgotten how easy all the gcse content was
looking forward to the stats of this video in the next yearly recap cheers
aur naur not main channel, my bad
This video is extremely relevant to me right now cos I’ve got my last mocks next week woo how fun 😐
7:22 JAMES NEVER GOT TO KEEP HIS BEN AND JERRY'S FREEZER
Finished my gcses in 2022 and I dont remember any maths so props to you
Jeez you couldve been talking in a foreign language for this video for how much i understood😂 well its been 34years since I left school😂
as someone currently doing higher tier at gcse
it has felt like absolute alien language so its very impressive will got 100% back in the day god damn
why is will actually rlly smart 😭😭😭
Amazing as always
5:48 PET HIM WTF WILL POOR BASIL WANTS SOME LOVE
The dog is asleep
May GOD continue to Bless you all and all of your close ones.✝️🙏🏻❤️

For question 3 it says give an estimate. So you are meant to round it and then do the calculation.
Crazy I like the 8 times table I like how it goes up 1 in the first number and down 2 in the second
This video actually taught me how to answer one of the questions in the maths exam so thx 😂😂
i didn't think a hot guy doing maths, with a cute dog, is a kink I'd have but i stand corrected
"Hot guy".... don't sarcastically joke about our Squarehead boii
@@cambodianginger not sarcastic but ok 😅
Need more Basil content.
Why was I so impressed when I watched this, honestly I have no idea what he was doing 😂
I'd love to see Will resit one of his engineering exam papers.
This!
amazing as allways
as an a level maths student this hurt me
This gave me a flashback to how I would take my SATs lmfao
Will take a recent one, they’re much harder now
i knew i shoudlnt of dropped out when i got confused by the second one
Bro, you should do the edexcel gcse maths paper from 2022 and see if you can do the last question from the non-calculator paper
Great video ❤
Jus staring at basil the whole time🥹
I got A's in both my nat 5 and higher maths, only been out of school for almost 3 years, and can confidently say I could barely answer a single one of those questions
This just re-emphasised how dyscalculic I am
Will the intellectual commentary RUclipsr
its fine, i did my gcse’s during covid so i doubt those count
“Piece of piss” is the new S2W channel logo.
how have learned more from this man then all my maths teachers combined 💀💀💀
I would probably not do well on a non calculator maths paper now, I'm currently mid way through an engineering masters so my entire life with maths just revolves around matlab at this point. Barely use normal calculators now

This is the best Willne channel
The channel finally has a suitable name!!!!
will swoops in at the end of the week to make it class
give james the freezer he won it fair and square
the year 10s are gonna use this as their revision guide now (oh no)

did mind 3 years ago and it’s gotten a lot harder ngl mate
