Students study AQA 8300 specification.
The specification covers the five main areas of Maths: Number, Algebra, Ratio, Geometry, Probability and Statistics combined.
The GCSE is split into three exams, 1 non calculator and 2 calculator. For the calculator exams we highly recommend that you have the Casio fx-83GT PLUS
We recommend this one-
Make sure you buy the correct tier
Exam practice workbook to buy-
choose the correct tier.
A great website where to you can click on a grade or a topic area.
Watch the video and have a go at the online questions!
A great resources if you know what area you need a little more practice with.
Videos are there to support your learning and then have a go at the exam questions.
Try these quizzes based on GCSE maths past papers. By working your way through the maths questions created by experts, you can prepare for your maths exams and make your revision more interesting.
