Exam Preparations tips for GCSE maths

GCSE Maths students take three GCSE maths exams between late May and June, each lasting 1 hour and 30 minutes. These include two calculator papers and one non-calculator paper. The course is entirely exam-based, with no coursework required. For GCSE Maths, you can choose between two types of exams: the foundation paper or the higher paper, depending on your skill level and goals. Although all exam boards grade students equally to ensure fairness, the foundation and higher-tier papers are assessed differently. With a foundation paper, the highest grade you can achieve is a 5. The foundation paper and higher paper from the same exam board share some similarities, but many questions are tailored to match the skill level of the intended audience. The foundation paper focuses on questions suitable for students targeting grades 4 or 5, while the higher paper is designed for those aiming for a grade 5 or above, featuring more challenging question styles. While the GCSE Maths curriculum may seem challenging at first, it is an invaluable opportunity to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. But there’s no need to worry—Tutorful is here to support you with expert tutors and helpful tips and tricks for effective GCSE Maths exam preparation.

Simran G
I’m a Year 12 BTEC Applied Science student and this was my first session. Honestly, the lesson was amazing Simran broke everything down in a way that actually made sense, there was no rushing through anything, and when I didn’t get something straight away, she went back over it without making me feel silly. The pace was perfect, and I left the lesson feeling so much more confident with the physics content. Definitely a 10/10 and would recommend for students doing A levels and BTECs!

Cristian T
Cristian has been working with my son for a number of lessons now to help build knowledge, skills and confidence ahead of his Maths GCSE exams. These lessons have been well received by my son and he feels greater confidence going into his exams. He has enjoyed his lessons with Cristian and has found Cristian to be very polite, explains things well and has patience to re-cap or explain further on some of the more complex tasks. I would strongly recommend Cristian to other students to help improve knowledge and skills in Maths. We are looking forward to improved exam results!
