PRACTICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is literally THE most important thing you can do to get good grades!!!! w/ enough practice, you can attempt any sort of question they throw at you bc you get acquainted with formulas + how to apply them. you can practice through questions in your textbook, the net, doing your homework, or past papers (my ultimate fav) which you can get from the internet or library
know the formulas and symbols and terminology!!! an easy way to do this is by making summary flashcards ↓
summarise each chapter onto flashcards like these or mind maps or sheets or w/e suits you. write the important formulas, diagrams, graphs, examples, etc of each chapter in them. this is helpful if you’ve forgotten a formula or an old chapter, or need to revise the day before (or the morning of) your exam + its def faster than going through your textbook which can have a LOT of unnecessary info.
understand your mistakes and find out the correct way to solve the qpay attention in class pls it will help you understand + solve problems faster which means more time to relax yay
if you can’t solve a problem, see if there are any examples in your book which can help you. otherwise, use one of the sites/apps linked under ‘tools’ ↓ to solve it and view the steps. if you still don’t understand, ask your teacher or someone who knows maths.
try to develop a mindset that you have to find the answer to a difficult q no matter what! this helps me bc i always end up finding the answer so i know how to solve such questions, which is better than giving up and having a similar q come in the exam and not knowing the answer.
on tests: pls recheck every q, esp if you’re like me and write 12-5=6 (lol rip)
don’t stress!!! maths is difficult and its totally okay if you don’t understand a q! just skip it and come back to it later.
khan academy has videos to explain concepts and do examples, and tests after videos (esp useful if you have a crappy teacher)
