Try to take the opportunity to retake the qualification at college, rather than accept a grade 1, 2, or 3. content/dam/pdf/Support/Grade-boundaries/Edexcel-Award/2306-level-1-2-3-edexcel-awards-subject-grade-boundaries.pdf content/dam/pdf/Support/Grade-boundaries/International-GCSE/2306-intgcse-9-1-subject-grade-boundaries.pdf content/dam/pdf/Support/Grade-boundaries/BTEC-Level-2-Technicals/grade-boundaries-june-2023-btec-level-2-technicals.pdf It is important for foundation students to also focus on their basic primary knowledge of shapes and angles. What are the properties of an isosceles triangle? How many sides does a hexagon have? What is the difference between a parallelogram and a rhombus?
Building good habits and keeping organised is extremely important for those who want to become the best mathematicians possible. Our mathematics tutors always remind students to be as clear as possible when setting out their answers. Failing at foundation, however, does not mean that you will be out of options. There are quite a few apprentice schemes that still accept people who do not achieve the qualification. It is important to emphasise, however, that not achieving GCSE qualifications, will always limit your options for employment, so you will have to develop other skills that make up for this weakness. content/dam/pdf/Support/Grade-boundaries/Project-qualifications/2306-level-3-project-subject-grade-boundaries.pdf

Many students who come to us for tuition, really struggle when it comes to algebraic concepts. Perhaps most notably, rearranging/changing the subject in a formula is something that needs special attention.
We recommend the Essential Maths series as the main learning textbook. It has a friendly, and easy-to-follow layout. There are also a few exam style questions at the end of each chapter, that provide students essential test practice. content/dam/pdf/Support/Grade-boundaries/Advanced-Extension-Award/2306-aea-subject-grade-boundaries.pdfMy first port of call with new foundation maths students, tend to revolve around these basics, as without a strong understanding of calculation, it will be impossible for them to progress through the paper without a catalogue of errors.
As schools spend a lot of time wishing to press forward and work on the more advanced topics, this basic knowledge tends to be neglected. As a foundation student, you should try to take on the responsibility of shoring up these basics as much as possible.

We have compiled them to make file management a thing of beauty: Edexcel Maths Foundation GCSE Sample Papers These problems can get far more difficult, but even in their simplest forms, they can help students gain a better understanding of how equations are put together.
