Give yourself credit for being honest to yourself. That’s massive self awareness💯

This is actually so helpful! I started year 12 about a month ago, and I already feel as if I'm not as good as my peers in my subjects (I've been getting very low grades compared to everyone else). I do enjoy maths, and I do believe I can get a good grade in it, I just have no idea how to, especially since everyone seems to be well ahead of me in all matters. I feel like even if I do understand the topic in question during the lesson, by the time I go home and go back to it, I'm unable to complete any 'more difficult' textbook questions, never mind exam questions. This video was such a useful guide, so starting from tomorrow, I'll make sure to implement your tips! I'll update at the end of my A levels to see how it went :)

Thank you so much for this video- I’m in year 12 and I’ve been feeling so stupid in maths but you simplified something I’ve always had trouble with; revision. Hopefully this holiday I can catch up with my peers and get a really good grade inshallah. I’ll update my results if I remember.

I've literally just done a Maths test today that will give me my UCAS predictions and I just feel like it didn't go well. I've barely been passing Maths and just scraping a C. It's sad because I did really revise for this exam months in advance so my ego really has been shattered today, the KZread recommended me this video. Great timing huh😆. I've been feeling disheartened because all my other friends seem to be understanding the subject well and I'm barely managing to stay afloat, so watching this video has really inspired me. Thank you for this. Even though this exam didn't go as expected I'm going to dedicate myself to this journey and try my absolute best to study hard so I can get what I know can achieve. (Hopefully an A🤞). I'll be back next year to disclose my A-Level results. Thanks so much for this🙌. I can see my A* already💪

I mean this from the bottom of my heart, this is the most beautiful video on KZread.

Thanks, this really helped - some of this I was like that’s common sense but it was nice to see that some of the stuff you added after I was doing completely wrong, so thanks for the advice, appreciate it!

Just started year 12 a few days back. I got an A in maths at GCSE but i still feel super dumb in classes. This video was very helpful and motivated me honestly because It felt weird that I kept on getting stuck on some places of chapters that come in p1 because almost half of them are learnt at GCSE but I’m hoping my extra hours of work pay off well and get me another A grade soon!!

You have made me realise so much ! I just started yesr 12 and this has helped me find a way to get the best grade I can

this is actually really helpful, I'm in year 11 now but i want to do A level maths so thanks, this is a really good technique

Just about to watch this, I’ve done my AS maths and I got an E…really looking forward to seeing how you developed your mathematical abilities, I’m sure it’ll be really helpful to me :D

Thank you so much for your advices, really aprecciate it. Have a good day :)

Congratulations to you. It is difficult to get A in maths a level. Respect.

Amazing video thanks so much for sharing. I’m 55 and started doing A level maths and want to get that A grade. This video really helped.

@aldrichcervania8833

Not hopefully... I believe you WILL push that grade an A!!😃 Maths is a conceptual subject and there are a lot of factors that go into getting high grades, but imo, getting high grades boils down to: 1) Trusting your curiosity to ask the right questions 2) The amount of time you put into “practising” (Even if it feels like you’re not getting anywhere) 3) Considering the thought process of all the questions you answer. Understanding why, and how each step is needed in your working out. All the best with your assessments, and I’m glad this video gave you a new perspective😆

Phenomenal video mate, just subscribed. Hoping to see some more content about you! I’m failing maths right now and it’s really making me upset but I’m trying man, especially with like half of the time I’ve been at college being online learning it’s just really difficult. Been getting U’s and E’s in my monthly tests and ahh I’m just so demotivated

@aldrichcervania8833

3 жыл бұрын

I appreciate you subscribing man cheee! Sorry I just saw this comment!😖 Online learning has made it proper difficult for everyone and adapting to that new learning style is a mad one😳 I think for you if you’re feeling demotivated is constantly remember your “why.” True motivation comes from the HEART. It comes from intrinsically wanting to do something. My true motivation at the time was that, after feeling that ‘dip’ of failure, mate, I refuse to fail my A-levels again. Since I felt like my main friendship group at the time and teachers didn’t really support me emotionally, and I realised that self-motivation/self-discipline is the solution. So for you what the means is, learn how to self-discipline yourself bro. Learn what gets you to click. Learn what reasons help push you forward. Motivation = what inspires us to make change. Discipline = when motivation ends, this is your effort to act and continue. Motivation and discipline are Yin and Yang. It’s that balance. I hope this was useful and all the best with your tests :)

You gained a new subscriber I rarely ever comment on videos but I’m really thankful and appreciate the effort you have put into making this video it’s currently 2am and I can’t sleep due to the anxiety i was having about starting A level maths in September I never was good at maths and i was really doubting myself all i can say is you have lifted a weight off my chest I’m going to work as hard as you did and going to get that grade thank you and long live you i hope you live a blessed, long and happy life 😊

Try this to make your maths better next year… Suppose, in lessons you start to learn “trigonometry.” After school, go on examsolutions then make further notes on the same content… you’ll be ahead of everyone in lessons, and understanding maths will be as easy as peeling a banana🍌.

this video was amazing. I too have found myself in a similar situation to you.

I may not be able to get this predicted grade up in time for next years admissions however, i do want to go on a gap year and get some life experience first. Therefore, i am hopeful that i will achieve an A* in my final exam, take a year off of education and then come back the next September to a spot in a PPE course in one of my chosen unis. - i'll return to this comment in january and let you know how im doing

Keep this motivation up! Consistency is key. It takes on average 2 months to build a habit. Make practising maths a habit and, I believe you’ll go far with maths and then get into University! (If that’s your end goal for A-levels) cheeee💯

I’m an average B-B+ student in all my subjects I have been for all my life, But my teacher is trying to help me get an A in math and I’m having the hardest trouble. I can do the questions but I don’t have the creativity to work out A level questions on my own. I feel that’s cause I’m not writing these things down quick enough and my notes are all over the place. I do 9 different subjects. Math, English, science, Humanities, home ec, media, ccp, Japanese, HPE. I do Japanese and CCP once a week, I do home ec twice a week and the rest 3 times a week. I have exams/assessments for 8 of those subjects 4 times a year. It’s really stressful cause my mind gets so overloaded and causing me anxiety attacks.

Hey I’m in year 13 studying maths, chemistry and German. Do you have any advice on how to spread my time better? I feel like I’m always doing German. Also did you use the same way to revise for statistics and mechanics because I’m doing quite well in pure but getting Us in applied

Would defo recommend sticking to your exam board because theres no point learning things that wont be in the exam! On examsolutions, he has sorted his A levels tutorials based on exam boards, so I would blitz through the AQA related videos :)

help i got an E in As level maths pleaseeee drop practice tips on how i can improveeeeeee???

Incredible, honest video man! My question is how many hours of A-level Maths did you do per day?

Glad you liked the video, cheee!😄 I appreciate you commenting! I spent roughly 7(ish) hours per week. But I want you to understand the reason behind it, hence the long reply! At the start of the week, I’d forced myself to revise 1 hour per day, everyday however... After 6-7 weeks (I didn’t mention this in the video, otherwise it’d be too long), I felt like I was burning out since I was forcing myself to do stick to this strict routine, even when I knew I had to focus on other subjects, I would force myself to do 1 hour of maths instead. Overtime, this was unhealthy and it wasn’t good for my time management. That’s when I decided to change because if I didn’t, I’d be poor in prioritising my revision, and I’d probably end up getting my A/A* in maths, but E’s in my other subjects. I decided to study in 3 or 4 study sessions during the week, and rather than focusing on the amount of time I spent revising, I would just focus on whether or not I get maths/the topic in general. It was only a COINCIDENCE that I was actually doing 7(ish) hours a week, without me actually planning I’d do 7(ish) hours per week in the first place! I don’t want you to think “if I would just spend more time revising, I’d do well.” That’s not entirely true imo. I’d say you’re just 50% there. The other 50% (more importantly) is how ACTIVE you are in your revision/practise sessions. What do I mean exactly? So, in my study blocks, I’d always do questions that slightly challenge my brain [that could be, doing the next sub-exercise on the textbook my own (usually set as homework), that could be, doing exam questions with an open book, that could be, doing exam questions in timed conditions], or I’d be making notes that reflect my thought process (like in the video), or watch examsolutions to fully understand a topic. Note that I don’t just do one of these things per study sessions, sometimes it depends on my understanding of the topic I’m revising/practising for. I trust my curiosity to understand maths, and I just do what it takes for me to understand the topic better. From my experience, here’s my advice. Don’t worry about how much time you spend revising maths. Time will fly in the background as you’re learning. Worry about being as active as possible in your revision. Trust your curiosity. Google those questions. Watch online tutorials. Be patient. Email your teacher for help or study with your friends. Be active! You don’t necessarily need to revise everyday, it’s whatever works best for you. For me, that was study blocks which totalled to be 7(ish) hours per week anyway. You’ll realised that 1 hour passes by SO FAST when you’re learning how to do each topic, for example learning the trig ratios and doing CAST diagram questions. Hope this was insightful!😊🤝

This feels like one of samual Shuresh's videos, you should watch his "How I Learn" video. It's very similar

His visuals are insane!😯 Also, we have the same idea of learning, but its expressed differently with how I did it with a level maths 4 years ago. In terms of vibes and the video itself, I see where you’re coming from tbf. The problem, the build up, the solution, and you could tell that my video was influenced by his! Hopefully my take on the concept and my personal experience was valuable for you in this video☺️ I am still learning what the healthy balance is between imitation and innovation as a small creator. I hope I did not offend you with the similar video styles. Have a good day!

Anyone else watching this video because their end of year year 12 mocks are around the corner? 😭

so did you not focus on answering textbook questions as much? thanks for the video btw!

During lessons, I’d also be focusing on the textbook questions with my classmates and we’d get through most of them but, the ones we don’t get through, the teacher sets them as homework (usually). The next lesson, she’d give us general feedback as a class, and we’d quickly go over the questions people got wrong the most. The nerd that I became, I didn’t miss a single homework deadline lol, plus the teacher really stressed out to us that there is too much content to cover in one year, so we better stay on top of our work (and work independently), also from my experience of repeating a year in sixth form, I didn’t want a U grade again (that would be peak). As long as I knew the fundamental principles for each topic, referred to the questions I had, made precise notes for those questions, had a go with textbook questions (in class and homework), then I’d be feel ready to try exam style questions and not be fussed if I got it wrong or make any mistakes. This wasn’t an overnight process as well, I spent roughly 7+ hours on top of lessons per week, which is much more than what others typically did, but I was very determined to bag an A from the beginning, so yeah. Glad to know this video was decent, cheers!✊

So, every end of topic, my teacher would set us an “end of topic” test in lesson, and before all of those end of topic exams, I’d go over the 2007 - 2015 past papers related to that topic before that test. On mathsphysicstutor, there’s a link which organises all the topics as one paper, and I’d go through them and ensure I understood exam styled questions. During the holidays, that’s when I’d go through the actual papers in exam conditions. A couple weeks before the real exams, I did the papers again. It’s worth mentioning that I didn’t just remember the questions, and jotted what I remembered. That’s not learning. I learnt everything from first principles, so that in the exam, the way I’d approach questions is “what do I know already, and how can I apply that?” It’s that mindset that allows me to answer any question despite it being reworded, and not being phased with questions that are designed to throw you off, or questions I’ve never seen before

Im resitting for my Year 13 units (pure 3,4 and m1) I unfortunately got Us for all three. Im trying to get an A. WISH ME LUCKK

Hey🙋🏽‍♀️ I need advice I got a 59% in igsce maths (second try) Do u think I should proceed to AS-level maths ? Is AS-level difficult?

@aldrichcervania8833

Hello!🙋‍♂️A-Level in general is difficult ngl. A-level maths is essentially the continuation of IGCSE Additional Mathematics. I think it might be tough without the background in additional maths but it’s not impossible! Tbh additional maths and maths IGCSE are kind of different and some ppl do better in additional maths. Keep that in mind when making your decision. But unfortunately I can’t make it for you 😭if you really wanna do good for a level maths, I’d recommend maybe learning some additional maths on your own before the a levels term starts (Especially if the career you wanna pursue requires A-level maths)☺️

You should become a motivational speaker

What exam board did you do

I really want an A in maths but I don't really want to repeat the year, my eoy exam is next week, but we never do tests so i can't tell where i am, except for the fact i failed the only test we done back in december ;-;, this advice is good but i dont know how to stay motivated when i feel like a failure

Just saw this comment today😔 Hopefully your eoy exam last week (I assume it was last since you commented 2 weeks ago), that you tried your hardest! People feel like a failure at some point in their lives and that’s alright! What’s more important is how do you react from that? Some people blame others/the system, others take self-responsibility and other may have a mix. It really depends on your situation, but some resilience is still needed regardless, and resilience is an important life skill to be aware of and to learn. School doesn’t teach us these things and we’re left to learn them ourselves. Try have a conversation with yourself. Ask yourself “why do I feel like a failure” and “why do I want to be motivated” then ask “why” again, 5 times. Be honest with yourself. Be curious. I apologise for not seeing responding sooner, I would’ve defo tried to have made a video that tailored to this situation😔 hope your mental health is strong, despite what’s happened :)
