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.

Aqeel A
A brilliant teacher who has made my maths hating 16 year old not only like maths but willing to have a lesson quite late on Friday evening. I will let my son explain: "Aqeel's method of teaching is extremely engaging, while also making the lessons enjoyable and easy to digest. He is very passionate and jocund, and it reflects in my results. In the few months that he has taught me, my maths grade has jumped 4 whole grades, while he has pushed my sciences to the top band of grades. if anyone is looking for a strong, smart, reliable, passionate and witty teacher in Maths or the Sciences, I would immediately recommend Aqeel as a first choice." Choose Aqeel - he will not let you down.

Abid O
There is already a huge improvement in my children's maths results. Abid always explains things clearly and ensures that everything is understood before he moves to next topic. This is really important as i found with previous tutors they don't always insist on finding out if the child definitely understood what is being said. Abid communicates very clearly and my children feel very comfortable with him and actually look forward to the lesson. He is always on time and even makes up the time if we have IT issues which he doesn't have to do. For an hours of quality teaching, Abid's prices are very competitive and i highly recommend him.
