Somehow, and I don’t know how, I managed to pull it out of the bag, as I passed my FS Maths 🧮 Level 2 in April 2024 (literally 2 weeks before my 40th birthday so I can say I passed it before I got old. I passed at the second attempt, after initially failing in January.

This despite all the disadvantages I had to endure as regards to my visual impairment which consequently meant I need larger font resources and a in-class scribe (to do my reading & writing for me), as well as emotional issues surrounding Maths as well.

After initially failing, I was permitted to do my exam during the Easter holidays and I think having the quieter environment helped me (as well as being able to take breaks and the extra-time I was given) but I eventually passed and my certificate now takes pride of place alongside my GCSE English Grade C I attained in school. I know Level 2 is equivalent to a GCSE Grade C, but I may consider doing the actually GCSE in the future if I feel I can do it. Videos like this and Math With Mr J also helped as, due to vision loss, in more a visual learner and her more from watching videos rather reading text, which can be a challenge for me.

Heya Simon. Can I say you are absolutely amazing! I'm watching these vids to help prepare from my exam (need it for uni entrance) and your clear, calm and detailed explanations are invaluable. I got a D in maths back in the day and never really moved on. In all my other exams I got A*, A, A, B, B, B, B, B, B. I'm really hoping I pass this FS2 exam. According to the level-checker I already have L2 in numbers, it's the other sections, with shapes like circles and triangles, that I struggle with.

2 and 2/8 would be fine. I just try to encourage good habits, particularly for people who are looking to take their maths further such as GCSE, A level, etc. Also, working with fractions in their simplest form helps make calculations simpler and can highlight potential mistakes.

[bukoofuk]

Thanks a lot for the information I hope I could pass my exam on 14th of April.

Do you have a walk through for PMAT2/C02 Section B please

[Yuksel]

This looks hard especially for someone like me who struggles at maths, I can’t even pass level 1, how I’m I going to pass level 2

[kristopherdean]

why did you simplify question 10 when it didn't ask you to and would the answer 2 and 2/8 be acceptable?
