  • If you are new welcome to the channel. In this video I go through Tricks and Secrets that helped me achieve an A* in both A level Maths and Further Maths.
    Just for context I studied Edexcel for both subjects.
    The Further Maths modules I took were :
    Core Pure 1
    Core Pure 2
    Further Mechanics 1
    Decision Maths 1
    My other a level subjects were Physics and Computer Science. I am now studying electrical and electronic engineering at UCL :)
    But I hope you are doing well and have enjoyed this video. If you have don't forget to subscribe and like this video!
    Please stay tuned for more videos! They will come out very soon in God's will! 🙏🏽

      Thank you so much! I'll see what I can do for A level physics!
      Honestly on the same page as you. I found uplearn very useful. I recommend using the free trial for it (if you don't have it already) and put vids on 1.25x speed. They explain concepts so well.
      Another source which I found very helpful is sciencedoctor.school.blog/ks5/ . They give explanations for a topic and provide Qs on that topic straight after. A lot of Qs here for you to practise!
      Hope you find this useful! God bless 🙏🏽

    Thank you for the video, do you have any tips for how to revise for A-Level physics like how you learnt the content and how you go about doing exam questions?

    • @KieronAndrews
      @KieronAndrews  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi yes! When reading the exam questions look out for the phrasing of the question. The question might include some statements that may help you reveal the method. E.g. “the system is in equilibrium” thus the net force on the system is zero, or “resistivity of the wire = …. “ you’ll know that you have to use the R=pl/A formula
      If you haven’t already use your free trial. Uplearn is sick for physics. They are very good at EXPLAINING certain concepts and it goes in great detail. I don’t recommend it for practicing Qs though personally.
      For multiple choice questions at the end, get good with dimensional analysis. “Dimensional analysis” is a fancy way of saying check if your units make sense with the formula. E.g. F=ma so the units for Force is (kg)*(m^-1*s^-2)
      TH-camrs great for A level physics for me are ZPhysics & science shorts.
      Last tip is to sanity check every answer you give. Let’s say you needed to calculate the speed of an electron and your answer was 5.6x10^12m/s you know you’re wrong because nothing is faster than the speed of light (3x10^8m/s)
      Hope this helps :)

      Also Bicen Maths created a couple of videos (e.g. th-cam.com/video/OnZGBQyWK1g/w-d-xo.html) where he goes over the whole entire module in just half an hour. Useful to go through these videos when you have the time to double check you know everything (especially for stats)

    • @KieronAndrews

      Great question! I don’t recommend anything until a week before you start. You will learn everything as you go through the content. Enjoy your summer break until then!
      If you were to do any pre work or learning work on your algebra skills & manipulation. So factorising, collecting like terms, rearranging eqs. Also work on adding,subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions.
      This will mainly be good for calculus, series & trig eqs. You’ll have to work with algebra a lot.

      @KieronAndrews  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi thank you so much I’m glad you enjoyed it! I studied AQA CompSci, however I did have coursework & balancing coursework with my other subjects was pain ngl!
      This is a tough question. If I were to give you any advice, try and fit as much coursework time in the weekends as possible. Since during the weekdays after school ur gonna (most likely) be tired or gonna have hwk due the next day. If you work on coursework during weekends you’ll be much more flexible & the quality of ur report will improve.
      And try to work out how much time to spend on ur coursework each weekend (depending on how much you have left to complete)
      That’s the best I’ve got man sorry. I’m planning to release a CompSci video in the future though so stay tuned!

    • @KieronAndrews
      @KieronAndrews  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I know this sounds generic but the key is to practice as much as possible.
      Each Exam Q contains multiple topics if u think about it.
      E.g. An Integration Q can combine Algebra (partial Fractions) , Trig, Binomial expansion
      Another e.g. A Circle Q can combine Algebra, Trig & Geometry
      Final e.g. a logarithmic Q can combine exponentials, algebra(solve for x), calculus
      By just practicing 1 Q you are covering multiple topics! It’s like killing 5 birds with one stone 😭
      Practice these Qs, go thru walkthrough video solutions on TH-cam (Tip 5) & you’ll cover a lot of topics efficiently

    Hi so I got an e in maths Igcse but maths wasn’t the subject I was focused on if I take maths and computer n another subject do u think is there a way I can get a good grade like a+,a I didn’t take Igcse seriously either so if I focus more is their a way for me to get a on all 3 subjects (I’m hoping to become a software engineer)

    • @KieronAndrews
      @KieronAndrews  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      To answer your question, Yes! There is a way to get at least an A in all of your subjects. With enough, discipline, hard work & smart/effective studying you can get there! It won't be easy though. And before you decide to go through with your decision (with taking on these subjects) , I'd suggest asking yourself if you like maths enough to study it at A level & if you are willing to focus hard enough to achieve great results (which defo is possible).
      Tbh, I was predicted a 4 in GCSE Maths (I wasn't focused at all & didn't expect to go uni) & in 3 weeks i changed it to a 9 & became top of the class during A levels. So there's a possibility that if u focused in maths you'd be able to achieve well above an E grade. BUT I'd suggest testing yourself to see if you are capable of answering GCSE math Qs very well.
      Test yourself on maths a bit. Focus a bit now, watch a few TH-cam tutorials for maths to test out your full potential (to understand where abouts your grade is if you were to focus now).
      It will also help you to believe in your full ability & grow your confidence in maths. I find Maths to be an 'ego' driven subject. After getting a Q right, Id like the subject MORE & be focused on learning MORE content to answer MORE Qs correctly.
      Software Engineering isn't the most mathematical degree out of all engineering (not compared to Electrical or Mechanical imo) but it still requires a good foundation for maths.
      So do think about if you are willing to take on that next step!
      Hope this helps & please don't be shy to ask any Qs about Maths or CompSci or even Software Engineering!

      If I had to recommend anything , just buy 1 set of Further Maths (they are v similar to actual papers). I found Maths okay and didn't need the extra practice so I ended up wasting a lot of money 😣.
      Also the A/A* papers have EXTREMELY challenging Qs! Very good if you want to prepare for an entrance exam of some sort (MAT, PAT, STEP, ENGAA, etc). But I don't recommend otherwise tbh.

      ⁠@@losttrash980 the amount of past papers to complete depends on how much practice you really need.
      I found that I need all the practice that I can get so I completed every past paper for Edexcel from 2018 to 2022 for both maths & FM.
      On top of that I only did 1 MME predicted paper - just to make sure my results were consistent!
      So to answer your Q, do every single past paper available. This is just my recommendation though.

      No I didn't do EVERY Question! For each topic I went through 2 or 3 example Qs first and then went through even or odd Qs for each Exercise.

    Hi, in your opinion how useful were the predicted papers for further maths? also i have learnt all the maths and further maths content now( self learnt further maths),im currently doing the madasmaths past papers for revision, how many papers should i be doing a day in your opinion? Also do you have any recommendations of where to get decision😊 1 exam questions from except physics and maths tutor?

    • @KieronAndrews
      @KieronAndrews  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi there, I found the predicted papers very useful. In fact a lot more than the normal maths papers!
      Are the papers you are talking about I.Y.G.B? Because I remember their Qs being extremely difficult for some of the letters! Don't spend too much time on all of these papers. If you're talking about actual past papers then do at most 1 paper every 2 days I'd say. When studying A levels I worked out how many weeks until my exams and then worked out how many papers I would need to complete each week to practice all papers available.
      But space it out! Don't attempt more than 3 papers in one day! That's not effective for a lot of ppl. Generally speaking 2 papers (across all subjects) each day near exam season is very productive in my opinion.
      For Decision 1, unfortunately no :( But there are more than enough papers on PMT available that can prepare you for the D1 exam. Practice IAL & old spec past papers. Their past papers are very similar to the modern ones.
      Seems like you're a very determined student, I can appreciate a self learnt further mathematician! Keep it up! 💪🐐

      @@user-ji4op8xn8i Useful & effective are 2 different things.
      It's 100% useful because the papers range in levels of difficulty & the hardest Qs are extremely challenging. Which is a good way to develop problem solving skill. So it is very very useful.
      However, by practicing I.Y.G.B papers alone rather than actual past papers won't be an effective way of revision in my opinion. Just because most of the I.Y.G.B paper Qs are not A level standard. It's effective to practice some of these papers, but not ALL since there are way too many! Time is better spent practicing ACTUAL past papers for sure.

      Since I studied 4 A-levels, each day I'd study one mathematical subject and a non-mathsy subject (e.g. Maths & Physics on one day, FM & CompSci on the next). I would never study both Maths & FM on the same day.
      I'd study 3-4 hours a day (with 15-minute breaks in between). Since I found FM harder than Maths I would study twice as much for FM - meaning 2 hours on FM and 1 hour on Mathematics.

      For my final exam I didn’t finish the last Q for Further Mechanics & for one Core Pure paper I missed out 2 full questions 😅
      The best way to approach FM papers is to read the Question and if you know you can get at least half of the marks then attempt it, otherwise QUICKLY move on and come back to it later if you have enough time. And if you haven’t got a lot of time (e.g. 4 minutes left for a 12 mark question) try ur best to achieve as many method marks as possible.
      So don’t always feel pressured to answer every Q perfectly. Know you can miss 1 or 2 and still achieve an A*.

      After completing a paper watch a walkthrough video of the same paper (just as explained at tip 5). Then a week later, go through all of the Qs you've gotten wrong on the paper that you've completed (to make sure you've properly learnt from your mistakes).
