i got a 6 in my GCSEs meaning i cant do a level maths, however i managed to convince the head of maths to give me a 3 week trial to see if i can do it, this will help so much thanks!

Your second point makes it so clear what my error was when self studying gcse higher maths - I thought I could do everything alone using only the CGP coursebook and past papers, without seeking help from a tutor (I'm a big grown up now who was home "educated"). When the exams came this year, what was frustrating was finding lots of the harder questions too obscure and confusing, and so much of what I thought I was comfortable with ended up being utterly useless.
Clearly I didn't put enough effort into problem solving :( I wonder, had I put more effort into that, I could have enjoyed it all more. Now my plans for A-level are pretty shaken...

I’m halfway through year 12 rn and I’m failing lmao. I realise it’s probably because I missed the first few weeks of school so what ever foundation a level maths built on I don’t have it 💔

Hi Kevin, I always get 90%+ in my tests and I am predicted a grade 9 but I always get silver in the Maths Challenge (I'm in year 10). What can I do to get better at UKMT, AND I want to take maths and further maths A-LEVEL . Is that viable?

Just take subjects you are good at in 6th form. I made a terrible decision to take maths at A' Level and had to abandon after 6 months into the course. Eventually I took an essay subject instead and did very well. There is a huge leap between GCSE and A' Level. Your teacher knows best. Don't think you know better than him/her....
