Thanks so much! I'm stuck on grade 4 at the moment and at risk of having to do retakes so I'm watching videos of people going over past maths papers, and yours is probably the most helpful so far! (Most I've seen are too fast or too slow but yours is perfect and fits into an hour.)

[STICKY_]

I got 31 marks, which is a grade 5. I've now watched your video and am going to attempt to do the paper again. You're awesome! :)

Edit: got a 5 in my GCSE lol

[AwsomeAlisha]

so i have a maths test tomroow and its my first time doing the higher paper, last time i got lucky looked the paper online and got all the answers this time im trying again ive watched this video multiple times and im praying this is the right paper as eveything here is on my revision list wish me luck for tomorrow wanna move from set 2 to set 1

[cb_b]

you are an absolute god. I have my maths paper 1 tomorrow so i hope this will help

[tchaikovsky.p]

I just started year 11 and these videos help a lot thanks!!!

[naqiabbas]

Thank you ever so much for this. Your a Legend. I've been waiting for this for a long time. Could you also Paper 2 & 3 Please.
and I was thinking could you also do a walkthorugh of the 2018 Paper . Papers 1, 2&3
Thank you ever so much for this though!

[bastienkamara]

Did somehow but lost 26marks but I have now understood the onse I couldn’t do. Thanks very mich.

[Hayyzen]

I found out you can do 7 add 4 then divide that by 88 and that is value of each number 24:32

[kwmz.o]

For question 25, 49:55 .Isn't the answer meant to be 0.7 hrs (1dp) as the question is asking for hours 'each' not total, so won't 8.5 hrs would need to be divided by 12.

[rehya]

I dont get 16:05
b:s=2:3 is being moved to one side right?
And its b and not s because b is what the question is asking for.

I dont get how to move it to one side. Is the : part supposed to mean that we move it w/o the need to use any +-/* ?

Also, how come 3 is the numerator and not 2?

[hannakhan]

for question 22a if you did the midpoint of the miles per gallon instead of the U.C.B but i got the same 's' shaped curve, will i still get the marks for it. thank you

[leahbunn]

the new mocks have just been released; i do foundation! is it possible for you to do a walk-through when they come on the aqa website!? (foundation papers)

[nehamohan]

Mr Tompkins did you substitute y=x into the circle equation because C lies on the line of y=x and touches the circle? Also for question 17 do we square the area for 1 and cube the volume for 1 but because it is 1 you didn't put the square or cube symbol in, but if the value was greater than 1 then we enlarge both values? Thanks again for another helpful video

[espkogz]

i keep losing marks on questions like Q24 49:25 . do you know how i can revise this?

[yousefm]

Maths GCSE past paper tommorow. Usually average at around 10/80 per paper 😩. I’ll let you know how well I do to see if this helped

[bear]

For 10 a, could you say as a final awnser it's 1.5b x H?

[ruiznagagor]

I’m confused by the method with question 24 to find y. Why do I need to divide the x by 5, then multiply it by 7? and what topic is that kind of question

[Ammarah_]

I don't get Q10(b)...Why do you divide b by 2 and times it by 3??

[ataleoftwomeows]

How did you get 11x from x+4× on question 13

[rehya]

26:59
My method was wrong, but could you explain why?
I thought about doing 6*4*3 as a meal deal cant involve the same drink, sandwhich or snack.
