improve my maths

I’m dreading getting my GCSE result in Maths. I can see myself having to retake the exam in November.

I’ve had this goal on my list since forever and this month I decided to prioritise it. So I started trying to work through a textbook I have, before realising (after a couple of weeks) that it was just taking up too much of my time.

I’m pretty busy at the moment and just about everything seems more important than studying maths. I’ve taken this as a sign that my priorities have changed.

Maybe they’ll change again sometime and for this reason I’m keeping the goal on my someday/maybe list. It’s not like I didn’t manage to improve my maths at all—I just didn’t get to the point where I can say I’m good at it.

Ultimately, though, I think it’s been a positive experience, realising that my priorities have changed. Now there’s room on my goals list for something more relevant to my life right now!

I’ve got my C2 exam next week. I’m shitting myself! I’ve done two practice papers so far; on the first I got 8/75 – a U (meaning unclassified), and for the second I got 34/75 – an E.

The exam’s in less than three days. It pretty much looks like I’m screwed :x

It’s been a long time since I wrote an entry on this! And the same amount of time since I’ve done anything towards this goal! But now I really do have 43 things on my list and a bunch of other goals standing in line waiting to get on it. That means I need to start achieving some of these goals and give up on any that don’t seem relevant anymore.

As far as improving my maths goes, I still want to do it. I made some improvement back when I was more focused on it but I don’t want to mark it as done until I’ve worked through this textbook I have. At the moment I’m really super busy with stuff for university but when all my assigments are in and the exam is over I’ll do one of those Steve Pavlina 30-day trials, doing a certain number of exercises in the book every day and see how I go with that.

I’m so bad at even the basics of maths anything would be an improvement from where I am right now. I’ve found a fun-looking website to help, it might be aimed at kids but it generates worksheets and seems to have a friendly bunch on the forum. So hopefully this is one I can do.

to get a grasp on A Level maths. It’s just so confusing, I’m starting to come to terms with C1, but statistics is just so confusing – I can’t get my head around it!

It’s weird because when I’m looking at the examples, I know what to do, and I understand the concept and everything, but I just can’t seem to apply that knowledge, which is frustrating!

I hope I can get an A! Really.

I need to improve my Maths for next year! I got a C in my end of year Math’s exam which means I am in the bottom group. I hope to move up a group!

I’m now working through my old maths GCSE textbook. So far I’ve done a chapter on number, including patterns, negatives, arithmetic, fractions, percentage, special number names (like integers, prime factors, common factors, HCF, common multiples, LCM, standard form, rational and irrational numbers) and using the calculator efficiently.

Ok, for most people it would be pretty basic stuff, but it’s thirteen years since I’ve done anything like this and I didn’t pay very much attention to it back then!

When am I going to improve my maths? I always wanted to be fantastic in maths…now I’m in the botton division of my school! Why won’t maths get into my head?
Alright…I plan to study two hours of maths everyday, and get a tutor and regurlary attend my maths sunday school

I have an E at GCSE maths would love to be able to increase that to a C, but I’m too late to start at the local college this year. I hate maths really can’t do it, my head gets in a spin just thinking about numbers. Don’t know if I’ll ever achieve a better grade but being able to be confident would be a start.
