Today, I passed level 2 maths.. I am very much appreciated you upload videos to support.. your way of teaching n explaining is fantastic.. I learned a lots of your videos. I passed this exam first attempt. Keep it up.. thank you very much x
Hi Simon,thank you so much for your video. Much appreciated.
Hi Simon, thank you so much for your video's. They are priceless, I managed to pass my maths on 2nd attempt. You are, thet way you simplify things. Easy to understand and follow.. Thank you 🤗👍🏽
Thanks once again, Simon, I passed the test I took in July, first time around (with a half decent percentage grade) your videos really helped and supplemented my taught classes and Pearson learning materials. (I’m an adult learner half a century in )🎉🙌🏽👏🏽 good luck to all the other learners out there👊🏽
Hi Simon , My test is due next week .You are a great help as without you I was panicking. Love you 😘
Yes absolutely interesting. By watching your videos I have managed to pass my level 1 maths. Will be sitting my level 2 in January.
Excellent! Good to see you're working on Level 2 already. Pay particular attention to topics which are new to L2, such as the introduction of algebra and calculating the original amount following a percentage change. As well as coordinates, imperial measurements and circles.
Hello,
I have a level 2 Functional Skills Maths exam on the 24th of January, and I have to say your videos are helping a great deal. I'm feeling far more confident than before and with watching your guides I managed to pass my mock exam so hopefully, all goes well with the real thing.
Thank you, sir!
Thank you for all your help, I have my exam tomorrow so fingers crossed! 😊
Best of luck! 🤞
Well explained. Thanks. Very useful
yes it was helpful to me as it help to prepare myself for my level 2 exams
Good 👍
Wonderfull 🎉
Thank you very much, very interesting and nicely explained. I have L2 exam 1st week of December 21.
Best of luck for your exam!
Hi Simon. Thankyou for your videos they very helpful. Do you have level2 set paper 5?
Hi Simon, I have exam on the 12-14 october 2021. Im too nervous 😬
Thank you for your videos.
Hi, you've still got time to get in more practice. Although you may be sitting L2, sometimes it's good to practice going through an L1 paper. Firstly this can give yourself a bit of a break if you are feeling a bit drained of L2 but it also means you can concentrate on how you answer the questions and making sure you put everything the examiner wants to see. It should help boost your confidence too.
I love your videos, i used them all last year and they helped me pass level 2! I am re taking my GCSE Edexcel Maths foundation in November and i cant find any past papers ahh
Hi Lily, well done on passing L2. I have done the November 2018 foundation papers (1 - 3) but that's all for GCSE so far, you can find them in the GCSE past paper playlist. I do plan to do more but just not sure when. If you subscribe to my channel you will be notified when new papers are posted, hopefully in the not too distant future.
@@SimonHTT ah im suscribed on my other account haha, just suscribed on this one. Thanks i will check them out.
Hey Simon, I just want to say thank you as your videos are so helpful. I am trying to prepare for my level 2 paper. If you have any other links or suggestions that may help me I would appreciate it.
Hi Maria, glad you like the videos. If you find you're getting stuck on questions from similar topics then we'll worth revisiting them either with a textbook or more specific revision. However, if you're finding you're able to at least attempt most of the questions then practice papers is a great way to go. If the exam board you're due to use is Edexcel you can still use the City & Guilds papers to add to your selection to practice with. There are some differences in what's included but not too many.
Hi, im also preparing for my level 2 paper, please let me know if there are any other links or more recent practice papers i can do. Thanks
Hope I will pass
Hello Simon thank you for your videos.Very helpful I'm gaining confidence everyday..Please tell me what I can do to pass first time.Mind I'm rubbish at maths.Thank you for your advice whatever that maybe
Thanks for your comments. I'm assuming you need L2 maths but if you haven't done much maths for a while you may find it helps to look at L1 first to improve all your key skills, fractions/percentages/decimals, ratio, area, etc. Do use other resources as well as just these videos so you can make sure you cover the full syllabus. You can get quite good textbooks, which aren't too expensive, to make sure you are familiar with all the different areas you need to know. Best of luck!
Very well explained 👏 thanks
Hi Simon, I really appreciated your teaching, it's has been helping me a lot, I was wondering if you have the past paper 5 ref PMAT2/C05 mathematics level 2 section B. Thank you
Hi Tony, thanks for your comments. Unfortunately I only create videos for papers that are publicly available, so when this is released on the Edexcel website I'll do it. However, in the meantime for Pearson Edexcel Level 2 you have 4 past papers, 3 practice papers and a sample paper. All of these can be found in the Pearson/Edexcel L2 playlist. And if you get through all of them you can always try the C&G ones. they may be a different format but are still good practice.
@@SimonHTT Thank you for replying my msg. God bless you.
Hello Simon good video as always. where have you been?
Hi teki sarah, just been very busy but hoping to get back to regular recording and posting later this month!
Hi Simon, thanks for teaching, its great help. I am going to sit for L1 in next month. I still panic
Try to replicate exam conditions in practice. The panic might still happen but if you you're expecting it and have some techniques to manage it that should help. Don't feel you have to rush into the paper, read through and have a plan first then when you start writing, hopefully you'll be feeling a bit calmer. Best of luck!
On question 7 in the calculator paper, why did you divide everything by 2?
2 was the first one, but the rest of them didn't have a frequency of 2.
It's nothing to do with the frequency, it's to do with finding the mid-point of each group, half-way between the smallest and largest value. the way we do that is to add them together and divide by 2. To see how this works, use the second group as ana example, all the values in that group would be, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. If you then imagine you're finding the middle value (in this case it's also the median) so cross off the smallest and largest, and keep going until there's one left in the middle. It will be 23, which you can also get from (16 + 30) / 2.
Can you make a video of how to answer those big mark questions like 4-6 marks?
Ok, it'll take me a little while to pull something together for it but I have some ideas.
Hi Simon is this latest paper and they're still in 2022 I have exam on Wed
Yes, these are the latest papers publicly available. There are 3 past papers on their website but unfortunately they're locked. If you have a tutor they should be able to provide you with them.
I have a question, could some please explain why in question 3c we don't multiply 3 by 8?
We need to get both fractions to have the same denominator. The smallest number that both 5 and 8 go into (LCM) is 40. To go from 5 to 40 we need to multiply by 8, so we multiply the top and bottom by 8 to get 32/40. For the second fraction we still want to get the same denominator of 40 but to get from 8 to 40 we need to multiply by 5. So we multiply the top and bottom of the second fraction by 5 to get 15/40. If we multiplied both fractions by the same number then we would still have different denominators, which isn't going to help us do the subtraction.
Thank you for explaining that to me, I really appreciate 🙏 it.
I hate question 4
These multi-part questions can be really challenging. You could try be writing down the steps before you start:
- You need to work out the median
- Calculate the width of 6 pairs
- Calculate 10% of the total width
- Add on the 10% to the original
- Add 6cm to the last answer (3cm at each end)
- Is this total less than (or equal to) 127cm?
