bGCSE Maths RevisionTips
Fortunately there are numerous resources available - both
online and in the real world - to help you prepare the best that you can when
revising for your GCSE maths exam.
The key to making the most out of your revision time is to
identify which areas of the syllabus give you the most trouble. If, for
example, you find trigonometry hard to grasp, this is an area that you should
spend some extra time on during your GCSE maths revision.
However, also remember to brush up on the areas that you don't find so difficult
as well!
One good thing about attending school in this modern age is
the almost unlimited amount of revision aids that can be located on the World
Wide Web. This coupled with more traditional ways to support your education -
such as hiring a maths tutor - mean that there is help on hand if you are
struggling.
A quick search online will instantly reveal an almost
unlimited amount of websites brimming full of tips, advice and articles on ways
that you can get the most out of your revision.
With plenty of online communities that you can visit and
join (many of which are made up of tutors and teachers) you will always have
the opportunity to pose a question at any time of the day or night. These
communities draw on the knowledge and expertise of the professionals who will
be more than happy to help students work through their problems - not just
telling you the answer, but helping you to understand how the maths problem is
solved.
There are even a number of sites with maths videos. These
maths video lessons are perfect for getting a more visual grasp of the subject
matter. Sometimes the problem with studying a subject through the written word
- be it on a piece of paper and/or the internet - is that sometimes the
explanations can just wash over you. A maths video has the ability to turn even
the most lacklustre subject matter into something more engaging.
A core part of your revision is your maths homework - yes
there is a purpose to this, it's not just a sadistic task put in place by the
diabolical teachers at your school who want to take up all your free time!
However, despite the best efforts of teachers, sometimes extra help is
required. After all, some people simply take to maths better than others.
It is important to make clear that there is no shame in
admitting the need for maths help and despite all the great websites dedicated
to helping pupils with their revision - such as BBC Bitesize - there is often
no better way to take in information than face-to-face interaction - i.e. a
maths tutor.
Always seek out a GCSE maths tutor who comes recommended by
someone you trust. Even if the idea of paying someone a fee to help you out
seems odd, it is definitely worth it if that tutor helps you attain that GCSE
maths qualification.
