very well explained! When I am looking at these past papers it is so complicated, but when I am watching yours video; everything seams so easy. I will be seating my exam soon, hopefully will be able to remember everything what you have said.
Somehow, and I don’t know how, I managed to pull it out of the bag, as I passed my FS Maths 🧮 Level 2 in April 2024 (literally 2 weeks before my 40th birthday so I can say I passed it before I got old. I passed at the second attempt, after initially failing in January. This despite all the disadvantages I had to endure as regards to my visual impairment which consequently meant I need larger font resources and a in-class scribe (to do my reading & writing for me), as well as emotional issues surrounding Maths as well. After initially failing, I was permitted to do my exam during the Easter holidays and I think having the quieter environment helped me (as well as being able to take breaks and the extra-time I was given) but I eventually passed and my certificate now takes pride of place alongside my GCSE English Grade C I attained in school. I know Level 2 is equivalent to a GCSE Grade C, but I may consider doing the actually GCSE in the future if I feel I can do it. Videos like this and Math With Mr J also helped as, due to vision loss, in more a visual learner and her more from watching videos rather reading text, which can be a challenge for me.
You can do it two different ways. You can use 0.5 (which is half) to work out the extra pay, and then add it on, or you can use 1.5, which does it in one go. For example, if you earn £10 per hour and get time and a half at weekends, you can work out the increased salary by £10 + £5 = £15 OR you can do £10 x 1.5 = £15. Both ways give you the same answer but you'll find as the numbers get more complicated it's probably easier to do with 1.5.
Hello Simon, my question is on calculator paper question 1b it reads probability of getting at least one blue in two spin . I got 8/25 and you counted (B,B) as one blue in two spin.
It's 28% more than last week. So if you think last week would have been 100%, then 28% more takes it up to 128% in total. You can then divide by 128 to find out what 1% would be, and multiply by 100 to get back to the original 100% which is what we need to find.
Well spotted. There was a part b) that asked us to do a reverse calculation check. One of the ways you can do this is using the calculation of the area of total floor space and work backwards, i.e. 8.36 / 3.8 = 2.2.
Simon's instructional approach surpasses that of traditional college or high school educators.

Had my level 2 functional skills maths exams in june. I passed because of your videos. Thanks so much🙏
@@evans1046 Congratulations, glad to help! 🥳
Got an exam tomorrow and this has helped me no end. Thank you so much for explaining everything so well.
Have you passed the exam? X
@@NaiaraNetto-r2e I will not get the results for a week or so yet but fingers crossed

Very well explained
Thanks for this one. I just saw where I went wrong with a couple of questions. 👍
Great work, you are a huge help !
Thanks amazing video
1:10:39 when it says time and a half. Wouldn't it be 0.5?

Good video
Very helpful 🎉

I got 8/25 and you counted (B,B) as one blue in two spin.
'At least one' means 'one or more', so that includes getting blue on both spins, so 9/25 rather than 8/25.
Calculater quation number 7
28% change to 128% how
It's 28% more than last week. So if you think last week would have been 100%, then 28% more takes it up to 128% in total. You can then divide by 128 to find out what 1% would be, and multiply by 100 to get back to the original 100% which is what we need to find.
Thx I still had shapes
You have missed part b of question 8
Well spotted. There was a part b) that asked us to do a reverse calculation check. One of the ways you can do this is using the calculation of the area of total floor space and work backwards, i.e. 8.36 / 3.8 = 2.2.
