I was doing a practice paper a few weeks back and there was this one question I didn’t understand. It’s question 24 on the 2009 paper 2, tier 6-8.
Thanks!

1). If a question is taking more than a few minutes then skip it and return to it at the end if you have time. It’s not worth wrestling a 2-mark question for 10 minutes.

2). Look back at the papers you have done and see if you can identify topics / areas that took more time than others. Work on these!

Hope that helps!

I was just wondering how I could improve my timing in the tests as over Easter, I have been doing some test papers and sometimes I run over the 1 hour time limit by a couple of minutes.

Thanks,
Krishna

The maths side of things will be the same – it’ll just be testing it in a different way. You may want to search for GCSE functional skills or try here for some ideas.

Amy
