GCSE Maths Edexcel Paper 2 Higher in 20 Minutes!| How to get a Grade 9

In this video I run through an Edexcel higher maths GCSE paper. Along the way there are lots of tips on how to answer common exam questions and prevent you making mistakes where others normally do.

As always, any questions please ask away in the comments, like and subscribe if you found it useful!

THE PAPER:

Just a side note: I realised in editing I made a small mistake on question 7 working out the mass of B, it should have been 1.2 x 40 which has a knock on effect to the final answer.

This is a superb resource that I am sharing with my pupils. Many thanks for your work.

Thank you for your videos!! I need a 6 to get into college but haven't had a maths teacher for the last 4 months. This is incredibly helpful

[SigmaDiddlers]

7:18 why's it for A 1.8 x 80 (it's liquid volume) but for B it's 1.2 x 120? wouldn't it be 40 for B? since we're multiplying the volume but the density? because 120 is the volume of liquid C.

Hi I really need a 7 in maths to study at sixth form and I'm currently on a six, do you have any tips to revise to get a 7 or higher? And also how much like approx would you say you need in each paper to get a 7 because my teacher said half marks but I'm not sure if the grade boundaries will be really high this year and it's always non calculator paper that brings my whole grade down so I need to prioritise the non calculator paper

[thatwhiteguy]

Ik im late by like a year, but how do i revise so that i remember all of this because on a recent mock i did worse even though i revised 2x as hard

[roons]

can you make more videos on past-papers from other years?

[elifmikealson]

wish I could do my exam in 20 mins like u 🥲

Q7 was a bit wrong, i know he said that in the pinned comment but im gonna go through it correctly.
1.2 x 40 = 48
48 + 144 = 192
192 / (80 + 40) = 192 / 120 = 1.6g/cm³ (this last equation could be wrong, this was just off the top of my head because i dont wanna use the calculator)

[igreenonyomamma]

Nice breakdown really helpful, could you do another Edexcel paper?

Hi I'm a bit confused on number 17 as shouldn't 12 be in the second box as it goes 4, 16 and 12 is between them two numbers

[Lgan_]

On the last question how did T become the denominator of the equation? In rather confused 😭

[jouad]

@Brainstrom, I really dont know whether I should do foundation or higher for maths in the time left. I really want a 7 in maths but Im not good at it. I barely scratched a 4 in my last mocks (higher). Do you really think its possible to learn all the content and have enough time left to go from barely getting a 4 to a 6/7?

[Addi_Peaceclaw]

I’m confused on 19 as to why you times B by a half to get to C as if B:C is 1:2 then wouldn’t the scale factor be 2? Because to get to C is double

[陳詩詩-tn]

I was so confused about Q13 😢😢😢😢
Why work out the different ways is multiply the total number of teachers, girls and boys?

[kamilahabubakari]

Why do you add 360 to the values in question 18 part a
