Don't understand how u answered the questions involving squares
For the people doing the 2022 GCSE maths genie has a list of all the topics u need for the exam and it goes grade by grade with videos and practice questions. It’s really helped me.
Are the topics on maths genie the predicted ones
Yeah I’ve been using them for quite some time now
@@urmostsamejjklvr Thanks
Love maths genie
where do i get it
To whoever having GCSE exams in 2023, you all can do it! I’m sure you’ll get what you want and wished for since the beginning of the year❤
Tysm babee❤️❤️
Good luck! 📊📊📊
Thank you ❤️
thnks
I've got a calc math paper today 💔 the non calc went horribly but hopefully I'll understand this one 😅

You gotta feel the burn 🏋💪
Omg that square question came up in my mock and I literally thought tht was hardest question ever but now u explained it made it look so easy too easy to be a five marker thanks so much ur tips rlly helped
ion even gonna lie it was the easiest question on my mock paper
my maths exam is tomorrow wish me luck 😢
Best wishes xx
howd it go girll
How’d it go?
I trying to get grade 7-8s in all subjects in GSCE, it’s hard but dedication and focus will get me there. Good luck to everyone doing their GSCEs
and you :)
You've got this!! Best of luck ❤️
Did you get it?
how did it go?
how was it?
im still in highschool but here are my tips!
i used to be very bad at math like the highest i've ever got was 43/100. then i start to study from the very beginning. master the basics and i do a lot of practices .. you guys don't even know how much time i've spent then boom 74%.. Its not an A but i did improve 😁
i try to find qs from the internet..
and using interactive videos on youtube can be very useful such as those done by achieve maths.
@@jonnybenitez1 oh yess i watch thousands of videos on topic im weak at
Well done!
proud of you fr :)
Thanks you for sharing this here!!
It's really pushes people...
If she was my math teacher I'd literally never have to stress again abt maths in my life
I have my real GCSEs in May this year (2023). I have never really took revising seriously, but I’m ready to change that now. Thank you for this video, hopefully it will better determine my future.

Good news for all of you - you still have enough time to improve a lot! 8 weeks may not feel like much but it really a enough to make a massive difference. Good luck guys! 🔥
I wouldn't be too worried about the occasional complex question which in the heat of the moment creates a "blank" expression. Do your best and attempt something. Do not despair as most people would have found it tough also. Just move on and score marks on the topics you know well like Fractions, Indices, Percentages, Probability, etc.
Good luck to all students taking their GCSE exams.
Thank you sir
@@Dozingtranquility
You're most welcome. I wish everyone taking their GSCE every success, including my daughter!
As a GCSE student taking Edexcel Maths in 2023, I had no idea whatsoever how to solve it until you went through it. For me, it's just a matter of: understanding what is being asked; eliminating irrelevant information; and using your brain to figure out what to do. I feel Edexcel tries to put people off much more to separate the best of the best, as opposed to AQA in my experience. I am so happy I found this video. Subscribed.
istg edexel is the hardest,ive done aqa n cambridge n now im doing edexel n its hell
@@balsammohammed9140 Cambridge is sooo much harder then aqa and edexcel
@@crashy_dsk5077 i switched to cambridge arabic bcse edexel was just 10x harder ,idk maybe in other aspects cambridge is harder but i swear edexdel is hell

I am trying my best to get 8/9 in all 7 subjects this may june session today is my maths b exam and I practiced a lot of past papers I hope I can do well thank you so much 💜.
As someone who got mocks coming up soon , I'm trying to follow thus tips and make it a routine bc I feel inspired by u to make my way to higher grade thank u for helping and motivating me
same here!
Routines are a great idea! Good luck with the revision guys & let me know if you have any Maths specific questions! 📊🔥
Please do the sciences - triple specifically. Thank you x
I got a grade 5 in mocks and in gcse i got an 8. After past papers i watch a video of someone completing it on yt its acc really useful and i reccomend thiiiis
What videos did you watch? Is there a certain person that you watch?
This is the most helpful math video that I've actually ever watched. Thank you for all the tips. I have never heard these tips before and it is exactly what I needed
I'm happy to hear them!!🥰🥰
Thank you for this! My twins are in year 9. Sometimes my son gets frustrated doing Hegarty maths as he has to get 80%….I always tell him being challenged is a good thing. My daughter struggles more with maths.
I will definitely be showing them this video. I think being their parent they don’t listen to me as much but watching this I’m hoping it will inspire them.
SO true, my son is in year 8 and he has convinced himself to believe he is bad at Maths, so he says there is no point on trying. I am helping him to regains his confidence with various tricks but definitely hearing it from a fellow student is much more effective! Thank you
you're actually the example of beauty and brains you taught me so much in a single video....ty
I can't believe how easy you made that 5 marker seem! If I were to see that in the exam I know I would just freak out. This video was so helpful❤
Glad it was helpful! You've got this
Thank you so much, I also struggle in maths too and this worries me for the time GCSE’s are going to happen. I’m in Year 8 now and definitely using your tips, gonna see if they work 🎉🎉. Keep up the good work and well done for the Grade 9 in Maths
These videos that you upload about getting grade 9s are extremely helpful so thank you so much because I am 2 months away from my mocks and watching your videos are actually helping me so thank you so so much. You don't know how much this is going to help.
her advice is so useful and her giving us her knowledge is such a nice thing to do thank you sola
Im doing my GCSE's 2 yrs early in 2024 and im homeschooled so im mainly worried about missing out on questions that I haven't learnt and this video helped alot, im 100% going to use corbet maths, thank you so much for such a clear video with time stamps
1.Practice everyday
2.If you are not enjoying while studying maths that means you are not actually studying .
If you are enjoying it, you're not actually studying bc it means its too easy
@@tropicus5917 yeah she said this and I think both of them is right bc it can opinionated
this is really helpful! It definitely motivated me to keep working to get that predicted grade 9 at the end of this year!
I have my maths p1 in 2 weeks! I'm so close to getting a four and you have helped a lot. I've always struggled with maths but it's gradually gotten easier and I've tried so hard to get the grade 4. All I can do is try my best and that goes for everyone else. Good luck!
You’re smashing it with these videos Sola!! ❤️❤️
i’m currently trying to get a grade 7, this holiday i’ve been focusing on revising maths (i have done some other subjects aswell) i know i can achieve a grade 7 so im just praying everything works out !!
Hi I'm in year 9 and I have actually finished my end of year exams but I wished I watched this before because its really helped A lot in terms of understanding what to do in an exam. I really struggle with maths so more maths revision and techniques would help. Thanks
This video has helped my motivation so much! thank you sola! i hope to do well and for others too !! :)
Great video, Sola. Your comments and suggestions were all spot on and very useful. If I could add two tips, one pre-exam and another during the exam. Pre-exam- have a look at the Mark Scheme and Examiners' comments on the questions you struggled with. It will give you some insight as to where you may have gone wrong and the approach/es that they were expecting from candidates. The Examiners' report is sometimes quite revealing, as it is critical of what teachers haven't covered (very well). During the exam, especially in the later questions (grade 7-9 difficulty), don't despair. You can still score some 'method' marks or demonstrating the correct steps you've taken in tackling the question. So make sure you write out your steps clearly so that the marker (who's going through 100s of scripts) can credit your approach. Best of luck to your future career/s.
This helped me so much knowing that I got GCSEs in a couple of weeks she broke everything down for us
Your actually the best! I need a grade 6 and currently on a 4 but now imma try go beyond a 6. Thanks!
Goodluck I went from 4 to 6 in the cancelled exam period so I was okay with that. Just have a good revision schedule
same. i'm on a grade 4/5 rn but i need a grade 6 to do the a-levels i want. good luck!
same im trying to do economics
i'm in year 9, currently im getting grades 3-4 for Maths, but hopefully in GCSE I would get at least a 6, maybe a 7 or 8, or even a 9!
@@TheWorldIsAWorld thats amazing for year 9
From a maths teacher: when you’re enjoying maths doesn’t mean that you’re not learning. It means that you have solidified the concept which brings you joy now
Thanks for this I've been bottlenecked at grade 7 for the entirety of year 10 and I feel like even now in year 11 can't get those last few difficult problem solving questions those this helped loads
This is what I really needed to motivate myself. Thanks
Great breakdown! 👌🏾. Well done!
It's good that your videos are straight to the point and convey the info clearly its rlly helpful :) science or geography would be helpful vids
Asad12345
Great video as always really helped , can we have one on science next ?
The thing with breaking down is actually very good. I was completely lost in Geometry and I had a cycle and some angles inside the cycle and I thought very basic that the cycle is 360° and that was actually what I had to think about in order to solve the exercise. And at first I thought that it was complicated but they just made it seem like that.
i cant thank you enough, you're literally amazing. Thank you so much!
This is very helpful.my teachers put me towards the higher paper and I don't have the confidence to do it but this really helps
maths next week wish me luck!
your channel is literally the best i cannot explain how much u have helped me you are an ICON and thank you. you literally deserve all happiness in life you absolute legend.
thanks so much :-) best of luck with your studies! x
This video was just what I needed tysm!
I cant tell you how much i appreciate having genuine quality videos on studying. Im so sick of those youtubers who spend 15 minutes making the most dry and unhelpful points possible.
Great vid as usual!
Amazing video Sola!!
I love how you broke down that question- very well explained, thank you :)
Thank you so much.
That question actually appeared in my mocks except the shapes were rectangles and i was like what is this?!
Thanks for the tips😊
absolutely brilliant video, thankyou.
This was actually so helpful... I saw that question at the start of your video and I was like ?!?!?!?!? But then you said break it down and so when I saw that question again I understood what was going on; I feel like maths is a stigmatised subject in which if you don't get the question straight away you're just stupid and haven't revised enough. Plus I think wayyyy too much pressure is put on cramming answers to every type of question rather than actually trying to understand the technique of questions, so thank you!! God bless youuuu omds
this was so useful! thank you so much
Thank you Sola, I just subscribed🌟I got a 7 in my mocks so I wanna make sure I get that or higher in my real exams
damnnn was there any specific websites you used
@@Charlotte-hf5jz well I watched GCSE maths tutor and Maths genie videos of them going through a paper - that helped me with understanding the trickier questions. I find practice papers on single topics so that I can really get them right. Also asking my teacher for help with questions I don’t understand helps too, you can do it!!
@@Jenny-de1ro where do u get practice papers by topic?
Update: I got a grade 8 in maths gcse🙌
I saw my math teacher with a piece of graph paper yesterday. I think he must be plotting something.
LOL
You give me the hope thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for the tips!! ❤❤
Thank you for showing us including people 🎉👏🏻
3:46 is sooo true, In year 7 I studied so hard for this one maths test I was really enjoying it I even had music playing I was dancing and thought I was going to do so well ! Next thing y’know I got 21/50 on the test 🤦🏿♀️
Why can I picture that in my head 😂😂😂
great tips, thank you so much!
currently in year 10, aiming to ace all my gcse's.Thanks for the advice
same 😁
Im gonna get a grade 9 in maths next year in 2024, and im gonna come back to say thanks !💪
I will see you back here too. Good luck legend.
Did u do well 💖💖
Omg you’re literally a lifesaver thank you so much i hate maths and this was so helpful💗💗💗💗💗
Try to refocus your thoughts "I hate maths" is a good cop out, try changing it to a more positive message "I am not the best at maths but I try my best". Focus on the first half of the paper, try to get as many of these correct as you can - all if you can do it. Then ensure you show working so that you can pick up method marks as often as possible. Good luck
@@jonnybenitez1 I think you can still “hate maths” and be good at it and not loose your focus. Theirs nothing wrong with “not liking” something what’s bad is when you don’t like the subject so you completely ignore it and don’t even try and work hard for it.
@@gem832 Isn't that what I said?
Thank you these are really helpful tips💕
thank god that i found your video on my recommendation tysmm u are helping me a lot
Watching her vids just encouraged me,and watching oxford uni vids make me want to study harder although it gave some pressure lol
This is such a great video, thank you.
This helped me so much, thank you!!!! And you are so gorgeous 😍😭
Your videos are so helpful 💓
That analogy with basketball really helped me understand what I need to do to step up my revision
this really help because in year 9 it helped me understand how to do exam questions
You've got such good explaining skills
I've got my first maths test tomorrow and I'm kinda nervous.
I've been getting 5-6s in my mock exams because of silly mistakes or not reading the question properly like you said.
Thanks for your advice and good luck on anyone else who's doing their Gcses right now
same its tommorow im scared
jus trying to clutch a pass at this point
@@karinawick2651 how did it go, it was very hard for me
goodluckk!
@@serbianwarrior4876 how did it go for you?
Awesome! Thank you, this will really help my son x
Hey i just picked what im doing for GCSEs on friday and i have been spamming your videos your so helpful ❤❤❤❤
thank so much for these amazing tips.
This was honestly soo helpful, thank you so much! Please can you a video on gcse geography or gcse languages (french, spanish)?
Your really helpful, thank you ❤
Thanks very much for the wonderful advise.
Thankyouu sm!! Im in year 10 but ill definitely be using this
Hey! I love your videos so much! I wanted to ask if you could create a part 2 and go deeper into the exam technique for maths, revision websites and how often (how many hours per week) should one be doing maths revision to get a grade 9? Please could you use your grade before using this revision technique as some inspiration
girl youre a literal life saver 😭
I did bad in my IGCSEs for further pure maths so I'm giving a retest. So I plan to do better and learn from my mistakes.
God bless you😭💙💙 im new to the british school system and i thought i was bad at maths untill i realised my problem was dealing with the question itself, not the math itself
Th7 Shola. I'm a maths tutor and I'm definitely going to use this video to inspire my students.
Saw this video a month before my maths gcses when i was struggling and lemme tell you it was a life saver !! I got D grades in math before that and ended up with an A in my Gcses. Thanks a lot for this!!
Wowww that's amazing!! Good job :)
I'm in year 9 and don't have a very good teacher. She skips a lot of steps because she thinks because we're in top set we know it. This is extremely helpful!
This was honestly so useful thank you so much! Is there anyway you could do science/language/history (if you took it) because you are so confident when it comes to exams and it’s so inspirational.
Just uploaded one on science: ua-cam.com/video/NL7u7vZ4mnM/v-deo.html and history is coming soon!
@@SmileWithSola thank you soo much! About to check it out!!
My teacher does not teach us shit in maths, I’m terrified for maths. Could you do a video on how to tackle the last few maths questions or a video on how to manage exam mind blank etc xxx
hi sola! loving your videos so far, it’s helping me in my exam season 💗
i am currently on a grade 4 for maths, if i continue to practice your strategies - could i go up to a grade 6 or 7 as that’s my goal?
omg this is soooooo awesome!! I actually dont know half the things that come up bcz i am a weirdly intellegant year 6 student in england! 😂😂😂 i really enjoy learning things above my level bcz my school work is way too easy for me!
that question where u have to find c is actually so easy if u think about how squares all have equal sides. each side is just 8 so from 38,36 u go down 8 2 times and left 8 2 times, that leaves u with 22,20
Yup, that's basically what I said in the video! A lot of people found it hard though when the question first came out, even though it's quite simple when you think about it.
This question has nothing to do with equal sides it's all about 'amount' and paying close attention to those amounts ie, there are 4 sq, all with 8 line, there are 3 points of X pay attention to the (4/8/3)
These three amounts/numbers can be used alone to answer the question as stated in my first reply IF you know how to chew on numbers 😁🤓
That square question came up in my mock last week and i got it right, id never been so proud of myself icl
I have my Maths Mock tomorrow, I know it’s just a mock and not the real thing but I’m still stressing. My teacher has only covered around half of the content yet we’re still doing the higher test anyway, how are we supposed to get over a 5 if we haven’t covered the content. I’m going to try and use the tips you said and I hope I don’t forget them, good luck everyone who has mocks or any exams soon ❤💖
Hope it went well! Good luck with the revision ahead of your exams & feel free to let me know if you have any revision questions.
Practice is definitely one of the most important aspects of learning. Understanding fully is also important and understanding from first principles if you can.
This is the best advice ever, and I'm an experienced teacher.
Thank you that was excellent
your vidoes are super helpful!! could you do a video on history please?
This is super doooperrrr helpful, thank you so much beauty!
these videos really help me with my revision!
Could you consider doing one on english language paper 2?
