Insha’Allah i’ll get a grade 5 in foundation maths. i’m improving everyday and i believe that i’ll get the grade due to discipline and my positive mindset.
I'm currently working at a 2 or 3, been out of school for a long time and GCSEs are coming up way too soon. I think my main problem is lack of confidence but my mocks are soon so hopefully I will get a 4!
I got 3 I was one mark off to get a 4 I might recheck it but I was very close to getting a 4 at least I did better than last year I got 2 last year but oh well
You got this! Just read questions thoroughly, and at the end of the paper go back and retry the questions even if you are confident they are correct just to be sure!
A few common level 5 topics include: Simultaneous equations Creating and solving your own equations Factorising and solving quadratics Reverse Percentage increase/decrease Compound measures Bounds Maybe try and perfect these, as-well as any other topics you can think of. Lots of free resources online! Hope this helps
My last round of mocks I got a 3. I have my next round of mocks literally starting 3 days after (as of commenting this) and maths is the first thing I have to do. I want to get a 4 atleast
I'm currently working at a 3+/4- at maths foundation for maths and science. But due to my mental health struggles, I'm still at that level although I'm close to passing. My GCSE's are so soon like a month or 2 away. I'm hoping I get a 4 or a 5.
im currently working at a grade 3 and im so freaking upset about it, whenever i do past papers i really dont understand how that helps cause when i get the answers wrong i go like oh well and just move on, please help im in year 11 and i really struggle with maths
I think the best advice i can give you, when you notice you are getting the questions wrong on past papers, try to find out what topic they are from your teacher or other people in your class, and specifically look up and practice questions based on these. If you have any other questions please let me know!
I'm currently at a grade two in maths but I'm aiming to pass . I've tried going to after school clubs and I've tried past papers but sometimes the mark scheme isn't specific for foundation ocr but the cuestions in the back and the wordy ones mostly get me but I'm ready to do anything to pass, idk if past paper walkthroughs are effective for last minute revision tho, if you have any advice please help me 🙏💜
Go right back to basics, understand the fractions, percentages, square numbers, factors and multiples. If youre looking to binge watch stuff on youtube, on my channel, go back to my first video and watch all of those. Only 3-5 minute videos and it covers every topic you should need. Hope this helps!! Good luck to you
hi! im currently getting 2's in maths and need a 5. hopefully we can both pull through and get the grades we want without much stress!! hope everything goes well for you!!
@@whoisamelia Hi, I do not understand the grades at all. I did my schooling from a different country and will give the Maths and English exams for the first time in college. Can you please answer my question;Do we get the grade from the marks of Paper 1, 2 and 3? Do I need to get 40/50 marks altogether? Sorry for the silly question.
@@sana...33744 hi! they add together all 3 marks and then find out the total example: paper 1 84 marks, paper 2 28 marks, paper 3 69 that dds up to 181 and on the grade boundaries they find out the overall grade for example that would be a grade 6(I dont know what subject it was as every subject is different I just found it on the OC website) hope this helps!!
Yo bro I’m in the same situation as you. All I get is a grade 3 in foundation maths and I have my mock on Monday. I’ve revised a bit but feel as it’s not working and I don’t know how to help as I also need help myself. Inshallah, I also get a 4. Maths is one of the subjects I really need to focus on and it’s hard for me to
just wondering, is there a way to get into higher maths, I just sat my mocks in June and got a grade 4 (11 off from a 5) and might be sitting foundation again, is there a way to get out of foundation and into higher please?
Hi, what's the best way to revise for maths? I feel like I know the content but no matter how many papers I do I'm still stuck. My teacher thinks I'm good at it and predicted me an 8 but I don't know how I'm going to do it. I'm really struggling. Can you please help me?
More than happy to help. If I am honest, I have made a video on this, look for the ‘how to get a level 9’ video on my page, i have lots of tips to boost the grade including ways on how to revise. It is different to most videos as I don’t just tell you to do past papers. Please let me know if you can’t find it and I will get the link. Hope this helps! Good luck
@@brainstormmathWill do right away! Thanks. Much appreciated 😊 Can you also please do a video on Vectors if possible? I find it very difficult to understand. Thanks 👍
@@islamicedits-2009 I appreciate that! Thats the aim of these videos, and when people take their time to watch, replying to questions is my way of saying thank you back to you guys. Will always try and reply to as many as possible!
i think you made a mistake in question 3 because the value of 1 apple would be 50p due to dividing 2.50 by 5 and to find the value of 8 apples would be 50x8=400 which is 4pound not 3.52.
can I ask a question yk the question number 10 y did u multiply by 1.02 and not by 0.02 because its increase by 2% and thanks for the video it rlly helped me
Figure out which topics u struggling the most, go to after school intervation if ur schl does it then do topic questions after u understand a specific topic then do past papers don't expect to get all marks because u've prop haven't do most of the topic I if u keep getting 5 then at the end of ur yr10 mocks if u do have one ask ur schl to let u do the higher paper but make sure u know the higher topic that are done in that year. If u get like a grade 5+ mostly 6 then u can do higher in year 11
I believe it is easier to get a 4 in higher yes, it often only needs a low score to get a 4 whereas in foundation you need to get a very high score still to pass
Pythagorus is purely when yiu have 2 sides of a right angle triangle, sohcahtoa (trigonometry) is when you have 1 side and an angle instead. Hope this helps!
At the moment, my predicted grade for maths is a 3 and I’m really quite disappointed with it. I’m in year 10, is there enough time to work towards a grade 5?
Not a silly question at all! Some exam boards give marks back, but some don’t. Im not sure about individual papers but generally you may get overall marks (/240). If you google ‘AQA grade boundaries’ it will give you tables of all the boundaries needed to get each grade!
Any of the CGP books are really good with lots of practice questions. Honestly though there is so much free content. Use the specifications for the content you need to know through AQA or edexcel websites and use youtube and past paper to get all the practice you need
If you put in the time and practice lots of question it is definitely achievable! I have lots of videos about how to improve, i would recommend watching them! Hope it can help
Questions that require a calculator can also come up on a non calc paper, they usually just make the numbers nicer to work with, for example trigonometry comes up because they require you to know the exact trig values for certain angles
i need a five i cant do this vid as ive already done it ive been doing past papers after past papers and finding them ok at this stage im just looking at vids and the topics im not good on

Discipline is better than anything. Definitely have a good chance of a 5 if you think like that, i believe you can! Keep working :)

The calculator should have a button for this, if you press ‘shift’ and the fraction button, it normally lets you input a mixed number

is this for paper 2 or 1?
A mix of both, maths doesn’t have any specific topics that come up per paper
@@brainstormmath yes it does paper 1 was non calculator and none of the calculator questions came up obvs
