KayCrazzy LOL that happened to me once in a mock!! my advice do deep breathing before the exam and no last minute revision outside the exam hall. During the exam just take like a 1 min break before carrying on or go to the toilet to clear your mind.
I have been supporting my young relative over the last few weeks with her maths and have found Corbettmaths to be an absolute Godsend. Thank you for the huge amount of hard work you have put into this. Just going to look on the AQA checklists now. You are a complete star.
Your question/answer papers, checklists, TH-cam playlists are brilliant! I am definitely very thankful for all the hard work you have put in in preparing these for us!
Honestly, you literally saved my maths GCSE last year! I went from a grade 2 to a grade 6 in a matter of months largely due to your videos. So I just wanted to say thank you so much, you helped my confidence in maths to no end! I would have failed without your website, so thank you!! 😄
I thought I could revise lots during the exams, so did like all the revision the day before. Don't think I did that bad, but lots need to happen during the holiday. It wasn't too bad since I'd done like all past papers over many months.
You've probably done a lot of work in class and with the past papers that you were probably more prepared than you think. Definitely put in the effort over the half term week and it'll hopefully pay off in the other two papers. Good luck 🍀
corbettmaths yea thanks. Need to do good since I want to so higher in IB. You also feel absolutely crap when you have clever peers and you're unsure I'd you did really well or not, whilst having people say they think they got 90% or full marks.
Although I completed the maths foundation paper 1 last week after going through your checklist I feel confident on the next couple of papers. Thank you very much for all your help.
The final paper of maths exam was awesome thank you for everything you have done and wish me luck for my A level exam next week You have been an extremely motivational maths teacher / TH-cam tutor I hope you for the very best and I will be taking maths for A level so will you making any A level videos ?
Paper 1 went better than I expected! There were 2/3 questions that were a bit tricky but I did the working out so hopefully I pick up 1 or 2 marks on those questions.
Hi sir, I appreciate the advice and was wondering if u were going to make a paper 3 unseen topics, and likely topics that could occur in paper 3 that WERE in paper 1/2 and have a chance of popping up again...? 😀😃👍🏼
Don't worry about it, as 1) it might not have been that bad and 2) there's nothing you can do now and 3) you don't want to affect your performance in the other two papers. Try using these resources to help prepare for the other papers corbettmaths.com/2018/05/08/gcse-maths-summer-2018/
Emonur Rahman I did Edexcel Last year and the Edexcel question was so easy and grade boundaries was low as well but sadly I was only 4 marks away from 4😔😔😔
Didn't get the result I wanted from paper 1 but no matter. As you said, it's all to play for and If I keep going with the attitude of success, I'm sure paper 2 and 3 will turn that around and I'll still get the 7.
Thanks I hope so too! Thanks for the clover 🍀. Quick question. On question 42 of the Very High Chance Higher paper (paper 2 and 3 preparation paper) it says that the video number to go with it is 309 but the video doesn’t exit nor does it match up with the question. I was wondering if you could help me find the video that goes with the question. Many thanks!! 😁
I'm not sure which paper you sat, but I do feel they will come up for both the Higher and also the Foundation papers. They might be on Paper 2 or even Paper 3, but I do believe they will (or should) be there. On Higher, it might be the harder non-linear version. Check out the Unseen Topic checklists for Paper 2/3 here: corbettmaths.com/2018/05/08/gcse-maths-summer-2018/ Any topic with a star would be a topic that I feel is really likely to appear
I could have done so much better on paper 1 - I knew a lot of the stuff but it left my mind in the exam, and I made stupid mistakes. Just some examples of such idiotic mistakes: using the wrong equation in the linear sequence simultaneous equations question getting cos and sin values mixed up, couldnt do the last question did area of a cylinder for the 5 marker instead of CSA I also ran out of time - if I had 15 minutes more I would have been able to recheck my answers and perhaps notice my stupid mistakes. I genuinely think I got around 30 marks. And I'm predicted an 8. I'm hoping i can get much better on paper 2 and 3, even though in the mock paper 1 was my best mark
Sorry to hear that Paper 1 didn't go as you hoped, but with still 160/240 available. An 8 last year on Edexcel was 157, so with the marks you've got so far (perhaps as many as 40), that might mean you are chasing 117 out of 160, which is possible. Anyway, try to focus on just doing your very best... good luck
You - Sir - Are - A - Life - Saviour, btw roughly how much marks is it to get a grade 4 because that paper didn't go that well for foundation around 45-50% and I am scared I wont pass?
Everything is definitely still to play (and study) for! A grade 4 on Edexcel in June 2017 was 50.83%, so two good papers and you'll be fine! Keep working hard and use these resources: corbettmaths.com/2018/05/08/gcse-maths-summer-2018/ GOOD LUCK!
I would recommend revising all the topics on the checklist (and even the topics that appears on Paper 1... briefly) but the topics with stars are the topics that I REALLY REALLY think might come up
Hey just bought your revision cards When will i receive it since on your website it doesn't mention the delivery time. Please answer back before my parents kill me for ordering them for no reason
Hi, I hope your received your order confirmation email. Any order placed yesterday will be posted today and should arrive on Wednesday/Thursday. Kind regards
I think i got 65 at least on paper 1,is there a chance i can get a grade 9 and could you predict how much marks i would need in the next papers to secure it please.
Sorry it's impossible to accurately predict grade boundaries, especially without seeing the other two papers. All I would say is, try your very best and hopefully you'll do well enough for a 9. Good luck
Any topic can appear, so recap everything... but I've also made some Unseen Topic materials for Paper 3 here: corbettmaths.com/2018/05/08/gcse-maths-summer-2018/
Hi, I am planning to make this on Monday... apologies for the delay. Hopefully will add here on Monday night: corbettmaths.com/2018/05/08/gcse-maths-summer-2018/
I’m really upset because I revised so much and then had a panic attack in the exam😩 i got through I think nearly all of the questions but I’m really disappointed and I was wondering if you have any advice for paper 2&3?
if you've gone through the majority of the questions you may have done better than you think. Well done on achieving that, that's a really great achievement while dealing with your panic attack. In terms of papers 2&3, these resources might help: corbettmaths.com/2018/05/08/gcse-maths-summer-2018/ Good luck and I hope you are ok in those exams. All the best! 🍀🤞
Hi, sorry not for OCR (just too exhausted from making all the others) but if you're looking for Edexcel or AQA, they can be found here: corbettmaths.com/2018/05/08/gcse-maths-summer-2018/
Hi you know by looking at the paper 1 what are most likely topics to come up and I think I have got around about 22 to 30 marks on paper 1 and wanna do good on other two papers as I want to get 4 is there any good way I can revise Thanks
I'm a big fan of past papers, video tutorials and using revision cards 😁 Try to think of what techniques and strategies have worked for you throughout your time in school and try them. Good luck! This blog post might help corbettmaths.com/2016/03/10/how-do-i-revise-for-my-gcse-maths/
Try not to worry about it as (1) it might not have gone as bad as you think and (2) there's nothing you can do now except prepare to do as well as you can on the other two papers. Good luck!! These resources might help corbettmaths.com/2018/05/08/gcse-maths-summer-2018/
Hi sir, paper 1 was honestly such an easy paper but I've lost so many marks to silly mistakes... I'd say my minimum score would be around 30... do you think I could still get a 7?
You might not have done as badly as you think... you'll definitely pick up lots of method marks. A grade 7 on Edexcel Higher in June 2017 was 41.33 marks per paper, so you can still definitely achieve that with hard work (and also you don't know how well you may actually have done on Paper 1 - you may be in the mid 30s, which is almost on track). Try not to worry about Paper 1 and really focus on Papers 2 and 3. corbettmaths.com/2018/05/08/gcse-maths-summer-2018/
Thank you ever so much sir. Trying to forget about paper 1. I'm currently in the middle of your 'very high chance' test paper for paper 2 and 3 which is extremely helpful... thank you once again
I found OCR higher paper 1 very hard, is there any tips you can give for me to try and ace the next 2 papers? I need at least a grade 5 in maths, but want a grade 6 or 7!
wanted to ask if I am using the correct resource. Im sitting OCR higher, and our first paper was higher paper 4, then I have paper 5 next and then paper 6. When you have written paper 2/3, it refers to the 5 and 6 paper? By the way its a really useful list thanks so much - a lot better than using mathswatch in my opinioun!
Sir I did your challenge paper because that was a very similar style to the exam I splitted it in half and it was out of 83 I did it on 1 hour and 35 mins I got 65/83 Do you think that would be an 8 ? Thank you for helping us in making these resources Could you PLEASE make more challenge papers because they are really helpful Wish us luck 😅😃😁
Delighted it was useful and that's a great score. The challenge paper is a collection of questions and I didn't write it in the style of a usual paper, so can't say if it would be an 8... but I can say that it's really great doing so well on a tough paper! Good luck!
Hi, sorry I don't think the challenge papers would be ready in time. If you go to the Unseen Topics checklist and visit corbettmaths.com/contents/ there are Practice Questions and Textbook Exercises for all the topics listed. If you go to the last question of each, you'll find some good questions
corbettmaths I did the second half of the paper which was out of 80 It was even harder than the previous half and I got 47/80 Do you think that is superb or pathetic Thank you so much for helping me feel more confident for the maths exams
Thankfully we only do two papers as our exam board is Eduqas. I don't think I done too well on paper one so basically have to smash paper 2 which I just can't see myself doing
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully what you did get done was mostly right and that you picked up lots of marks in that paper and the other one. Good luck for the rest of the exams 🤞
Sorry the grade boundaries are decided when everyone has sat the exams and they have been marked. All I would recommend is to work hard for Paper 2 and 3 and do your best 🤞 corbettmaths.com/2018/05/08/gcse-maths-summer-2018/
Ok I’ve got a problem I’m a top grade student (not trying to be cocky here😂) I get 7/8 on my papers leading up to gcses I sat that first paper one the other day and it went badly I froze up I couldn’t answer basic questions and doubted simple addition and multiplication calculations. I walked out the exam hall and I instantly knew how to answer those questions it’s so frustrating as I love maths and want to take for a level it’s just a problem that I can do questions well outside the hall then in the hall it just doesn’t click ??!
I'm sorry to hear Paper 1 didn't go as you hoped, but who knows, Paper 2/3 might be perfect papers for you. Keep revising and try not to put yourself under too much pressure... you can only try your best! Good luck
Do you need to get 40+ marks in each paper? Like if i got 30 on the first could i still pass if i get good marks on paper 2&3 which?? Am really confused
Hi, all 3 papers are added together, so the better you do in a paper, the higher your overall mark. Please try not to think too much about your paper 1 (as you can't do anything about it now) and concentrate on doing as well as you can on Papers 2 and 3. 🍀🤞
My paper 1 was a calculator paper. I was told by my tutors to expect a non calc. So have the practice papers you have devised taken this into account? I'm doing foundation by the way.Thanks.
The past papers we were given by my tutor as homework state OCR. I'm not a school pupil, I'm an adult doing it at day college. I've never really taken notice if it's AQA or Edexcel. What is the difference? My tutors have always recommended your youtube channel, I've downloaded your papers and will give them ago. Thanks. PS My tutor told us that they are excluding stem and leaf and trial and error questions from the exams. I'm assuming this is on the OCR exams. So I'm skipping those.
The content of OCR, AQA and Edexcel GCSEs are pretty much identical. The main difference is the order of the papers, AQA and Edexcel have their Non-Calc paper first, whereas OCR has it later. These resources may help: corbettmaths.com/2018/05/27/ocr-papers-2-and-3-june-2018/ ... more will be added over the next day or two. Good luck
I feel discouraged for Paper 1 because I did really bad I probably will get 30 I don't think I will do really good at Paper 2 and 3 I really want to get an 8 but it seems impossible now 😭😭😭😭
Hi, as I mentioned, a lot of students actually do a lot better than they think... usually because they pick up a lot more method marks than expected. Unfortunately there's not much you can do about Paper 1 now... so try to keep positive and focus on the 2 upcoming papers. There's loads of useful resources on Corbettmaths to help. Best of luck with your revision 🤞
corbettmaths Okay I will use your challenge papers and check videos of all the topics that you found out that were not in Paper 1 Thanks Corbettmaths you have been extremely helpful Hope I get the top grade (8 if possible)
corbettmaths Hey Corbett Maths Thanks to u I did better at Paper 2 Than Paper 1 There was a lower quartile in histograms so I did it Partially So thank you
For one of the questions the answer was 90-2x, where the question said to leave it in the simplest form. I wrote 2(45-x), as at the time I thought that was the simplest form :( Will I still get my 4 marks? Or will they cut out 3 or 4 marks and give me 1 mark only? The question was out of 5 marks. Please help, this has been bugging my since I left that exam hall and talked to my friends.
When marking exams they "ignore subsequent working" so they will give you full marks for 90-2x and ignore the factorising... so you'll be fine. Well done
Huge respect, going out your own way to help students and making recourses like these. You're the peoples champ.
Thanks so much! That message has really made my day and I hope the resources help you ace the papers
My first paper was bad. I revised for the test, but I just froze and my mind went blank. So I really need to do well on paper 2 and 3.
Sorry to hear that, but I'm sure you can still do well on the other two papers. Good luck with your revision 🤞
KayCrazzy LOL same :(
KayCrazzy LOL that happened to me once in a mock!! my advice do deep breathing before the exam and no last minute revision outside the exam hall. During the exam just take like a 1 min break before carrying on or go to the toilet to clear your mind.
Sameeee! Whats ur target? mine is 6 and 8 for english i aint gonna get them tho XD
Just smash the tests. U can do this!!!!!
I have been supporting my young relative over the last few weeks with her maths and have found Corbettmaths to be an absolute Godsend. Thank you for the huge amount of hard work you have put into this. Just going to look on the AQA checklists now. You are a complete star.
I HAVE THE UP MOST RESPECT FRO YOU AS U GO OUT YOUR WAY TO HELP US
Thanks very much 😊
bloody love this man
I just wanted to say thank you so much for all that you do. Without your videos I would know nothing about math. Thank you so much!
Your question/answer papers, checklists, TH-cam playlists are brilliant! I am definitely very thankful for all the hard work you have put in in preparing these for us!
You're welcome 😊 it's just great to know the resources are so useful. Best of luck with the rest of your study and exams 🍀
Honestly, you literally saved my maths GCSE last year! I went from a grade 2 to a grade 6 in a matter of months largely due to your videos. So I just wanted to say thank you so much, you helped my confidence in maths to no end! I would have failed without your website, so thank you!! 😄
Not all heroes wear cape!
Thank you Mr Corbett for all your resources. It has made tutoring students easier and more effective. Really appreciate all you do!
You're welcome! I'm so glad the resources are useful
Such a helpful and friendly person! You should know that your work is appreciated!
Ah thanks very much! It's great to know the resources are useful. 😊
I thought I could revise lots during the exams, so did like all the revision the day before. Don't think I did that bad, but lots need to happen during the holiday. It wasn't too bad since I'd done like all past papers over many months.

Your site has been so helpful for my two homeschooled grandchildren 👍
You’re absolutely incredible 📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚
Aw cheers 😊 good luck 🤞🤞
Although I completed the maths foundation paper 1 last week after going through your checklist I feel confident on the next couple of papers. Thank you very much for all your help.
Good luck!
Really grateful for the videos and worksheets , Corbettmaths has been my No.1 go to place for help. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much 😊
I need to show my cousin your videos
You, are a shining light...
Ah thanks very much!
The final paper of maths exam was awesome thank you for everything you have done and wish me luck for my A level exam next week
You have been an extremely motivational maths teacher / TH-cam tutor
I hope you for the very best and I will be taking maths for A level so will you making any A level videos ?
Thanks very much! I'm delighted it went well. I'm starting to work on the A-level material soon... I hope to have much of it online by Christmas.
Mate, you're an absolute legend
Aw thanks 😊
i think it actually went alright there were obviously quite a few hard questions but it went better than 2 years ago! thanks for the help :)
You're welcome 😊 that's great it went better than before. Good luck with the rest of your exams 🍀
Paper 1 went better than I expected! There were 2/3 questions that were a bit tricky but I did the working out so hopefully I pick up 1 or 2 marks on those questions.
WHY COULDN'T YOU HAVE BEEN MY TEACHER???
Give this man a knighthood
Thanks 😀👍
You have been really helpful with me progressing in maths so thank you
Absolutely love your work! Do you have rough estimates for grade boundaries from looking at the papers yet?
Sorry it's not possible to estimate grade boundaries accurately. Good luck with the other two papers
oh okay ^^ Thank you anyway!
my guess is for a level 4 u need to get at least 40%
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT DEAR SIR !!! REALLY APPRECIATE IT
You're welcome 😊😀
Hi sir,
I appreciate the advice and was wondering if u
were going to make a paper 3 unseen topics,
and likely topics that could occur
in paper 3 that WERE in paper 1/2 and have a chance of
popping up again...? 😀😃👍🏼
Hi, these resources might be useful corbettmaths.com/2018/05/08/gcse-maths-summer-2018/
In terms of topics that might pop up again, recap everything 😀
Paper 1 HIGHER AQA was so hard and I did so bad tbh😭😭😔
Don't worry about it, as 1) it might not have been that bad and 2) there's nothing you can do now and 3) you don't want to affect your performance in the other two papers. Try using these resources to help prepare for the other papers corbettmaths.com/2018/05/08/gcse-maths-summer-2018/
Sel Bieber edexcel are always easy. I dont know why aqa has more hard questions. Its based on more questions than edexcel
Emonur Rahman I did Edexcel Last year and the Edexcel question was so easy and grade boundaries was low as well but sadly I was only 4 marks away from 4😔😔😔
Yh it was crazy but least if everyone does bad the boundaries would be really low
Remember if you found it hard so did others, maybe you did better than they did
Didn't get the result I wanted from paper 1 but no matter. As you said, it's all to play for and If I keep going with the attitude of success, I'm sure paper 2 and 3 will turn that around and I'll still get the 7.
Good luck!! I hope you ace the last two papers and get the mark you want! 🍀
Thanks I hope so too! Thanks for the clover 🍀. Quick question. On question 42 of the Very High Chance Higher paper (paper 2 and 3 preparation paper) it says that the video number to go with it is 309 but the video doesn’t exit nor does it match up with the question. I was wondering if you could help me find the video that goes with the question. Many thanks!! 😁
thank you so much for providing unlimited resources to nail our gcse maths
You're welcome!!
thank you for everything, really appreciate it
You're welcome 😊
hi , I was just wondering when u will release the higher p1 and p2 playlist :)
Thx Mr Corbett!!
I am sooo sorry, I forgot all about them... I'll make them this evening (while watching the Liverpool match!) sorry again
Hi, are you Corbett?
what a nice man
paper 1 went well hopefully paper 2 & 3 will also
Fantastic! Fingers crossed 🤞 these resources may be useful corbettmaths.com/2018/05/08/gcse-maths-summer-2018/
corbettmaths thanks!
Do you think simultaneous equations will come up? Good vid mate.
Which paper did you sit?
Edexcel paper one non calc
I'm not sure which paper you sat, but I do feel they will come up for both the Higher and also the Foundation papers. They might be on Paper 2 or even Paper 3, but I do believe they will (or should) be there. On Higher, it might be the harder non-linear version. Check out the Unseen Topic checklists for Paper 2/3 here: corbettmaths.com/2018/05/08/gcse-maths-summer-2018/ Any topic with a star would be a topic that I feel is really likely to appear
I bought your revision cards and they’re really helpful thanks!
Thanks very much, I'm delighted they are useful 😀
Can you upload the paper 2/3 higher playlist.please.
It's now been linked on the main resources page: corbettmaths.com/2018/05/25/edexcel-papers-2-and-3-june-2018/ hope it helps
I could have done so much better on paper 1 - I knew a lot of the stuff but it left my mind in the exam, and I made stupid mistakes. Just some examples of such idiotic mistakes:
using the wrong equation in the linear sequence simultaneous equations question
getting cos and sin values mixed up, couldnt do the last question
did area of a cylinder for the 5 marker instead of CSA
I also ran out of time - if I had 15 minutes more I would have been able to recheck my answers and perhaps notice my stupid mistakes.
I genuinely think I got around 30 marks. And I'm predicted an 8.
I'm hoping i can get much better on paper 2 and 3, even though in the mock paper 1 was my best mark

I checked the checklist, are the topics with the starts the ones we need to revise for paper 2?
I would recommend revising all the topics on the checklist (and even the topics that appears on Paper 1... briefly) but the topics with stars are the topics that I REALLY REALLY think might come up
Okay, thank you for your help
Thank you
You're welcome! Good luck for the rest of your exams
Sir your paper 2 and 3 aqa page is not working right now?
Hi Nassir, try the link again: corbettmaths.com/2018/05/25/aqa-papers-2-and-3-june-2018/
is paper 2 for ocr calculator or non - calculator.
probably non calculator
Hi do you have a general checklist for everything we should learn for our maths exam??
Hey just bought your revision cards
When will i receive it since on your website it doesn't mention the delivery time.
Please answer back before my parents kill me for ordering them for no reason
Hi, I hope your received your order confirmation email. Any order placed yesterday will be posted today and should arrive on Wednesday/Thursday. Kind regards
Opened the checklist/resources for edexcel papers 2 and 3 you linked in the description but it only shows me a grey page/website.
Hi, could you try again and see if it works now?
Yep it works, thank you!
I think i got 65 at least on paper 1,is there a chance i can get a grade 9 and could you predict how much marks i would need in the next papers to secure it please.
Sorry it's impossible to accurately predict grade boundaries, especially without seeing the other two papers. All I would say is, try your very best and hopefully you'll do well enough for a 9. Good luck
Please what are the most important topics in paper 3?
Any topic can appear, so recap everything... but I've also made some Unseen Topic materials for Paper 3 here: corbettmaths.com/2018/05/08/gcse-maths-summer-2018/
You are amazing
Aw thanks!! 😊
I wanted to get full marks since I want to do further maths and maths at A level but I made a stupid mistake and didn't factorise 90-2x to 2 (45-x)
I think you'll be fine... I would imagine that'll still get full marks
hi sir, please can you make a checklist for OCR?
Hi, I am planning to make this on Monday... apologies for the delay. Hopefully will add here on Monday night: corbettmaths.com/2018/05/08/gcse-maths-summer-2018/

I will be added them here on Monday evening: corbettmaths.com/2018/05/08/gcse-maths-summer-2018/
corbettmaths thank you very much
Hi you know by looking at the paper 1 what are most likely topics to come up and I think I have got around about 22 to 30 marks on paper 1 and wanna do good on other two papers as I want to get 4 is there any good way I can revise
Thanks

Hi, I will add resources on Monday evening for OCR
Could u please link the playlist u was talking about i cant find it
Sorry it'll be online tonight, I'm trying catch up with a bit of rest today... was up to 5am making the papers 😴😂
I do aqa is their any chance that you have seen the aqa paper 1 higher maths, as my paper went horrendous xxx
Try not to worry about it as (1) it might not have gone as bad as you think and (2) there's nothing you can do now except prepare to do as well as you can on the other two papers. Good luck!! These resources might help corbettmaths.com/2018/05/08/gcse-maths-summer-2018/

Hello , please help me I done badly in my foundation paper 1 maybe 30-35 Marks is there still time to save my grade and get that 4 ! Thank you
Definitely, 30-35 would be enough along with two decent papers 2/3. Good luck! corbettmaths.com/2018/05/08/gcse-maths-summer-2018/
Hi sir, paper 1 was honestly such an easy paper but I've lost so many marks to silly mistakes... I'd say my minimum score would be around 30... do you think I could still get a 7?
You might not have done as badly as you think... you'll definitely pick up lots of method marks. A grade 7 on Edexcel Higher in June 2017 was 41.33 marks per paper, so you can still definitely achieve that with hard work (and also you don't know how well you may actually have done on Paper 1 - you may be in the mid 30s, which is almost on track). Try not to worry about Paper 1 and really focus on Papers 2 and 3. corbettmaths.com/2018/05/08/gcse-maths-summer-2018/
Thank you ever so much sir. Trying to forget about paper 1. I'm currently in the middle of your 'very high chance' test paper for paper 2 and 3 which is extremely helpful... thank you once again
I found OCR higher paper 1 very hard, is there any tips you can give for me to try and ace the next 2 papers? I need at least a grade 5 in maths, but want a grade 6 or 7!
Good luck for Papers 2/3. This checklist might be useful: corbettmaths.com/2018/05/27/ocr-papers-2-and-3-june-2018/
corbettmaths Thanks a lot! Will have a look at it later
wanted to ask if I am using the correct resource. Im sitting OCR higher, and our first paper was higher paper 4, then I have paper 5 next and then paper 6. When you have written paper 2/3, it refers to the 5 and 6 paper? By the way its a really useful list thanks so much - a lot better than using mathswatch in my opinioun!
1st one went well but 2nd one today and I still can't get my head around trigonometry, hopefully it doesn't come up on the paper
Hope the paper went well today
Legend!
Thanks very much 😀
corbettmaths we use your worksheets everyday at school, so like if you to devote some of your spare time to help others.
Do you do ocr maths too
I have just received the papers and will try to put something together 😀
Sir I did your challenge paper because that was a very similar style to the exam
I splitted it in half and it was out of 83
I did it on 1 hour and 35 mins
I got 65/83
Do you think that would be an 8 ?
Thank you for helping us in making these resources
Could you PLEASE make more challenge papers because they are really helpful
Wish us luck 😅😃😁
Delighted it was useful and that's a great score. The challenge paper is a collection of questions and I didn't write it in the style of a usual paper, so can't say if it would be an 8... but I can say that it's really great doing so well on a tough paper! Good luck!
corbettmaths could you please make more thank you more being amazing
Hi, sorry I don't think the challenge papers would be ready in time. If you go to the Unseen Topics checklist and visit corbettmaths.com/contents/ there are Practice Questions and Textbook Exercises for all the topics listed. If you go to the last question of each, you'll find some good questions
corbettmaths I did the second half of the paper which was out of 80
It was even harder than the previous half and I got 47/80
Do you think that is superb or pathetic
Thank you so much for helping me feel more confident for the maths exams
Thankfully we only do two papers as our exam board is Eduqas. I don't think I done too well on paper one so basically have to smash paper 2 which I just can't see myself doing
Good luck anyway, keep revising anyway as who knows, you might get a nice paper 2. Good luck
i thought i was doing pretty well. looked at the wrong finish time and didn’t get to finish the paper :/
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully what you did get done was mostly right and that you picked up lots of marks in that paper and the other one. Good luck for the rest of the exams 🤞
If i got roughly 50 in this paper what is my aim for the orher 2 to get a 8
Sorry the grade boundaries are decided when everyone has sat the exams and they have been marked. All I would recommend is to work hard for Paper 2 and 3 and do your best 🤞 corbettmaths.com/2018/05/08/gcse-maths-summer-2018/
Ok I’ve got a problem I’m a top grade student (not trying to be cocky here😂) I get 7/8 on my papers leading up to gcses I sat that first paper one the other day and it went badly I froze up I couldn’t answer basic questions and doubted simple addition and multiplication calculations. I walked out the exam hall and I instantly knew how to answer those questions it’s so frustrating as I love maths and want to take for a level it’s just a problem that I can do questions well outside the hall then in the hall it just doesn’t click ??!
I'm sorry to hear Paper 1 didn't go as you hoped, but who knows, Paper 2/3 might be perfect papers for you. Keep revising and try not to put yourself under too much pressure... you can only try your best! Good luck
Do you need to get 40+ marks in each paper? Like if i got 30 on the first could i still pass if i get good marks on paper 2&3 which?? Am really confused
Hi, all 3 papers are added together, so the better you do in a paper, the higher your overall mark. Please try not to think too much about your paper 1 (as you can't do anything about it now) and concentrate on doing as well as you can on Papers 2 and 3. 🍀🤞
You're the best!!!
Aw cheers 😊😊
My paper 1 was a calculator paper. I was told by my tutors to expect a non calc. So have the practice papers you have devised taken this into account? I'm doing foundation by the way.Thanks.
john What exam board do u do?
Hi did you do OCR? I have created papers for the AQA and Edexcel GCSE
The past papers we were given by my tutor as homework state OCR. I'm not a school pupil, I'm an adult doing it at day college. I've never really taken notice if it's AQA or Edexcel. What is the difference? My tutors have always recommended your youtube channel, I've downloaded your papers and will give them ago. Thanks.
PS My tutor told us that they are excluding stem and leaf and trial and error questions from the exams. I'm assuming this is on the OCR exams. So I'm skipping those.
OCR.
The content of OCR, AQA and Edexcel GCSEs are pretty much identical. The main difference is the order of the papers, AQA and Edexcel have their Non-Calc paper first, whereas OCR has it later. These resources may help: corbettmaths.com/2018/05/27/ocr-papers-2-and-3-june-2018/ ... more will be added over the next day or two. Good luck
How many marks do you reckon is a 4 for foundation?
Flip ninja Trickster i got one on higher with 40 marks in mocs
Your math web page is amazing
Aw thank you 😊
corbettmaths I’m going to pass because of you
corbettmaths I cancelled my math teacher literally because of your website 😂
😂 I really hope it helps you with your exams 🤞🍀
Thanksssss 👍🏼
No worries 👍
I feel like I got between 45-55 in Edexcel paper 1, do you think I can still get an 8?
unlikely unless you score higher on the next ones
Probably but don't think about that. Aim for your best and you will see what you get.
Do you or anyone think he/you can get a 9?
No
You're talking like 70+ marks a paper to still get a 9
Thank uuuu
Good luck 🍀🤞
How many marks do you guys think I need all together for a grade 7
A.BXdiy id say 135/240 ish
For edexcel please...
Done 😀 corbettmaths.com/2018/05/25/edexcel-papers-2-and-3-june-2018/
corbettmaths thanks
I feel discouraged for Paper 1 because I did really bad I probably will get 30
I don't think I will do really good at Paper 2 and 3 I really want to get an 8 but it seems impossible now
😭😭😭😭
Hi, as I mentioned, a lot of students actually do a lot better than they think... usually because they pick up a lot more method marks than expected. Unfortunately there's not much you can do about Paper 1 now... so try to keep positive and focus on the 2 upcoming papers. There's loads of useful resources on Corbettmaths to help. Best of luck with your revision 🤞
corbettmaths Okay I will use your challenge papers and check videos of all the topics that you found out that were not in Paper 1
Thanks Corbettmaths you have been extremely helpful
Hope I get the top grade (8 if possible)
corbettmaths Hey Corbett Maths Thanks to u I did better at Paper 2
Than Paper 1
There was a lower quartile in histograms so I did it
Partially So thank you
i love yah m8
For one of the questions the answer was 90-2x, where the question said to leave it in the simplest form. I wrote 2(45-x), as at the time I thought that was the simplest form :( Will I still get my 4 marks? Or will they cut out 3 or 4 marks and give me 1 mark only? The question was out of 5 marks. Please help, this has been bugging my since I left that exam hall and talked to my friends.
When marking exams they "ignore subsequent working" so they will give you full marks for 90-2x and ignore the factorising... so you'll be fine. Well done
corbettmaths Oh ok awesome ty
