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.

Many thanks, merci beaucoup, muchas gracias, Matt, you are the best. I have a question about NO calculator question # 2 If you can check for me, please. I think the answer is that Shona wasn´t correct because Erica's range is also higher than Shona's (14.3 - 12.90 = 1.4). I don´t know if the answer will be that Erica has higher median and range scores. Erica is right.

Hi Simon Thanks for all videos very helpfull just one question
Calculator one Q7 the first bit is right 1.00-0.45=0.55 but than How can the probablity will be 0.7 when you have to take away from 0.45-0.3=0.15

[saajjadd]

Thanks Simon for your useful videos, have learnt lots from you. I have heard that in order to pass Edexcel functional skills level 2 exams, you need to pass both papers and if you get low marks in Section A and fail it but get high marks in Section B, still you have failed the exam . Is it true? I believe both papers numbers counts as total to announce if someone is passed or not . Can you please confirm this ?

[SeyiPraise]

hello sir, for question number 2, is 2 as whole number and 1/2 as fraction still right?

[bigkbasha]

Hi Simon, is there any chance you can explain question 2 please what I end up doing is 2 5/6 + 9 1/3 the first part i work it out as 17/6 and the second part I work it out as 28/3 then I add the top and bottom to give me 45/9 I know afterwards I need to make the answer as a mixed number which I end up doing 4 9/9 which Is wrong but for the 17/6+28/3= 45/9 can it be done this way, also I don't understand when you had to multiply the 28 X 2 and the 3 X2.

[candyhender]

Hi Simon, can you please clarify this, the answer I got in non calculator Q.2 is 11 7/6 not 12 1/6 though i understood how you got your answer. First of all i added the whole numbers separately (9+2 = 11) then i found a common denominator of 6 and 3, which is 6 and got 7/6. then my final answer is 11 7/6 Is this correct?

[the-blue-barron]

did they change the functional skills in 2019

[mirzahamza-nv]

In calculating Question 4 (a) is non correlation

[bigkbasha]

Hi Simon, for Q2 for the calculator section if I add in Shona’s median score of 13.2 is less than Erica’s median score of 13.3, and Shona’s mean score of 13.5 is higher than Erica’s mean score of 13.4 after I have sorted out the value for the median and the mean will that be enough or does it need to be worded differently.
