GCSE Maths revision is unique because the exam tests problem-solving, not just procedures. You can't just memorise methods — you need to recognise which method applies to unfamiliar problems. The specification covers number, algebra, ratio and proportion, geometry, probability, and statistics, with questions designed to combine topics in unexpected ways.

GCSE Maths has three papers: Paper 1 is non-calculator (1 hour 30 minutes), Papers 2 and 3 are calculator papers (each 1 hour 30 minutes). Each paper is worth 80 marks. The content is the same across all three papers — any topic can appear on any paper. Foundation tier covers grades 1-5, Higher tier covers grades 4-9.
