IS GCSE HARD OR IS IT EASY ?
ive just finished my gcse's and i didnt find them easy. they are meant the be the hardest exams, but dont worry stick to the things you are good at when picking your options and you shouldnt have a problem. maths - i did AQA, the first 2 exams arent too bad, but the last one (module 5) was the hardest. ive heard edecxel is quite easy and there is only one exam. science - i found this the hardest, as its 3 subjects in one. biology. chemistry and physics. english - there is a lot of coursework involved. but the exam isnt too bad. common sense is used most of the time. dont worry. just try to keep on track in your subjects
How do I get an A in GCSE Maths?
Hi,Here is the best Strategy to work and proven and tested in all my students. The key to score good marks is first make sure you go over the entire content of the textbook and it is crystal clear to you. Second you should give sufficient time to past paper practice as most of the questions are repeated and doing the exam practice helps to build your confidence on the subject.The best way to make sure that you apply your knowledge perfectly is to a) Pick a topic you are revising lets suppose it is Cells in Biology or Algebra in Maths. b) After preparing the topic solve all the questions in the book and then go over the past papers of that topic and try to answer them. c) In this way you will understand how to apply the knowledge you have gained in the exams d) In this way prepare your entire topics. Once you syllabus is done, do the actual mock papers and you will definitely get A and A*.Make sure you do Maths daily as it requires practice everyday and rest of the subject you can do alternately.Do try it and let me know how it works !!! If you need past papers segregated by topics then do let me know. I may be able to help you with some links .For technique for learning you can read the article here:Blog Archives - Expert GuidanceHope it helps
Do you think GCSE 9-1 maths is too easy?
So much depends on the actual student. We can roughly divide students into three categories (see GCSE Results 2017: Maths)The wizz kids - these just get maths, would get A/A* under the old system and now get 8/9’s (About 10% of students)The normal kids - the majority, who have to really work at mathematics. Its not completely obvious and they will need to remember the formula rather than understand them. B/C students in the old system and 4/5/6/7 in the new one. (60%)The strugglers - for these all mathematics is a mainly incomprehensible jumble of symbols with little meaning or significance. These will take the foundation paper and if lucky get a C or 4. (30%)The problem is that the gap between the wizz kids and the normals is vast. Part of the reason for the new system is to streatch these kids some more. But this means the paper is too hard for most of normal kids and just 18 per cent equals a pass (grade 4).So for most students the maths GSCE exam is probably too hard. But the wizz kids, it would be hard to write a paper which would truly challenge them without requiring a greatly extended syllabus.Out of interest these are the grade boundaries for the higher paperGrade 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 UMark out 0f 300 248 203 159 121 83 46 27 n/a n/a 0Percentage 83% 68% 53% 40% 27% 15% 9% These are a little different to the old systemGrade A* A B C D E F G UOverall out of 200 161 128 95 62 31 15 n/a n/a 0Percentage 80 64 47 31 15 7 Equiv new grade 7 4showing that the new paper is quite a bit harder 53% vrs 64% to get a 7/A grade.

General GCSE very easy maths questions=]?
1. Cost price (CP) = 180 Profit(P) = 35% So selling price is (35/100*180)+180 = 243 2. Volume of prism = 405.7 cm^2 * 17.5cm = 7099.75cm^3 so now to get mass we use volume * density = 7099.75cm^3 * 5.42g/cm^3 = 38480.645g 3. Use the same principal from (1) SP = (30/100*CP)+CP = 44.85
Why/how do people fail GCSE maths?
It does largely depend on if they “Get it”: how the abstract symbols on a page translate to numbers and concepts.For the lucky children who can understand whats going on with mathematics the GCSE is pretty easy. These students can pass and get high grades without doing any revision at all.At the other end, every part of mathematics is a struggle. Take percentages there are several different calculations involving percentages. These start from the basic idea of a ratio where you divide an amount by a total. Then adjust this to percentages by multiply by 100%. Then you have to consider percentage increases, decreases, reverse percentages and compounds. If you “get it” these all become one thing, you can remember one formula. If you don’t “get it” then there is five separate formula to learn and you have to remember which number goes where. Even a simple ratio you need to know which number goes on top and which on the bottom.Then we get to algebra. This has all sort of rules. For some these are just natural, for others these are a confusing mess.Its hard to really pin down quite what is needed to do well in mathematics. You could say the basic skills are abstraction, and generalisation. Can you translate from a pattern of number to an abstract formula, can you generalise that formula to other sequences.
Would I have to do Advanced maths at GCSE to be able to do maths at A-level?
No.I presume you mean one of the many “Advanced Maths” qualifications such as the MEI FSMQ (Free Standing Maths Qualifications), although I believe other boards run similar ones.Such FSMQs are non-essential to learning A-level.Sure, they help - if you did well in adMaths, then you will find A-level maths to be a doddle, but A-levels does not assume any prior knowledge other than standard GCSE work.If you mean “Non-foundation” maths - i.e. just the standard GCSE maths paper, then yes - very much so. Foundation level papers only take you to a maximum of a C grade at GCSE - to be able to understand A-level you ideally need to be getting a B and above.
