Quick correction in Question 26a: The fraction should multiply to give (14√ 7) / 7 thus simplifying to 2√ 7 as the final answer!

[@strayash232]

I got my maths mocks the 18th and 19th so hopefully it does the same for me

This channel is my comfy spot, its community is small but cohesive. I love your dedication, you may have not as many subscribers as on the main one, but you upload regularly because you love maths and your subscribers. I enjoyed your "Boba is you" video You're great! Greetings from Russia

Your user takes me back. Never change it please

[@unknown_kingzzz4120]

Could you do an edexcel one? , they are much harder in my opinion

[@ClaudiaL23]

Would definitely love to see you complete paper 2!😊

[@danoutdoors1586]

How do you get the past paper onto the ipad and able to edit it as i have an ipad air and pencil and i dont know how and want to do past papers on my ipad

[@jamie159]

this would’ve been the exact paper I would’ve sat in 2020 if our GCSEs hadn’t been cancelled due to lockdown. definitely couldn’t answer any of these now haha!! so relaxing once again 🫶

Very nice video. You're a genius

[@daisy4814]

Will you be able to do a foundation paper pls for all those who don’t do higher papers

[@brendabernsteen6055]

Another way you could do question one is dividing the numerator by its denominator and just find out which one gives you 4.75

[@appeleper4436]

Yo... I'm really confused on Linear Algebra conceptualizing like the Gram-Schmidt Process and QR Factorization... any help would be great

thankyou so much

Great video!! You should try doing the Irish leaving cert higher math exam. I would like to see that.

[@user-rb6sg8cw5k]

Actually got my final mat exam in today's morning (it's 00:33), watching this so I can sleep good.

[@lockiedude8933]

You should do a Australian Nsw Ext 2 Hsc paper lol. Some of the hardest tests out there

[@RaeAH8]

I didn't got Q 23. When we sum the opposite angles it is equal to 180 so why is it not a cyclic quadrilateral?

[@AbdullahHaque-wk8kb]

Please, make asmr videos on basic math topics such as algebra, sets, probability etc....

[@g.xfsz0]

can you please do edexcel maths non calculator foundation pleasee

[@1T0MMY]

Funnily enough I was meant to do this exact paper in 2020 but locked stopped me, interesting to see what I missed?

[@Jasmine-W]

DIDO!! HOW DID YOU FAIL AT DIVIDING BY 3 TWICE😭😭 OH, THE PAIN THAT QUESTION 21 HAS BROUGHT ME ON THIS DAY!!

[@ASMRMaths]

I know I'm so sorry... LOL got there in the end!

[@NightThree-pq9iw]

You should do the 2023 Nat5 Calculator Maths paper! I remember a lot of people saying that it was quite a tough one for a lot of kids sitting it. So much so, that there was even a petition of kids saying that they wanted to sit another one!

[@elijahross2009]

That sounds like a significant event! How did it go? If you have any questions or need assistance with any of the material, feel free to ask.

[@voidedcharlieplay9235]

this is so good, i even found it beneficial toward my revision!! im pretty sure this year - in england at least, may be different in scotland - we're only sitting 2 maths papers, a calc and a non-calc

[@bloom6568]

Really?! Did not know that (and I’m taking them this year!) I know we have an equation sheet again this year

[@ASMRMaths]

I'm glad it was able to help you! Thanks so much for watching and best of luck in your future studies

[@voidedcharlieplay9235]

[@-_Blitz_-]

Hi Dido, please could you do an EdExcel one too? Love all your videos

[@GamerGirll36]

You should try an a level further maths paper 😮

[@X.w.X]

Next, try solving the Japanese university entrance exam; the JSSO should have an English version of the past exam questions available.

[@WaffleOwen]

You should do the national 5 paper!

[@rfz0084]

Video suggestion. Could try and solve a killer sudoku?

[@mainegrove]

you should do a scottish higher or advanced higher maths paper next

[@fatufatu]

Do an Edexcel gcse exam please

[@johnuzii4]

You should try finlands advanced math matriculation examination.

An easier way to see exercise 3 would be to choose which answer has a number of zeros multiple of 2 and 3, which in this case it's 6 (a million) :)

Please do a ccea one next

[@a1ien970]

Great video! In the future could you take IIT JEE-Advanced math paper? I would love that!

[@ASMRMaths]

Will take a look into it!

[@michaelnam66]

Its much harder than an IGCSE one dont you think so?

[@YoungMenkZ]

Not doing my GCSEs just yet (infact i just picked my options) but man question 3 i gotta say you explained that really well. I was never taught a lot of this since ive been in SEN schools since yr1 (special needs) and the teachers dont really have the flexibility to cater to each student so the work i got handed was the level of whoever was the least smart which is already bad but i even had people 3 years younger than me in my class so im definitely a bit behind so thanks you've already helped 😂 and you asmr is good

[@Harvey1211]

I wish you all the best, you have more potential than you might think. You’re probably two years away from the exams at this point and by three time they roll around, you’ll be working like a machine. People like you are constantly underestimated, you can do this.

[@ShaquilleOatmeal849]

Never sat exams due to Covid. Watching this too see what it’d been like 😂

[@furiisafiregame696]

For question 21, when you did 47/3 you wrote that it would come out as 15.8 which where it would come out to 15 2/3, which 2/3 equals .66 repeating, so it would come out as 15. 66 repeating. Great Video tho very relaxing😴

[@raymondberry9482]

I was the very first year to sit GCSE’s. It was all very odd. I had been taught how to pass the old exam system then they changed it 2 years before I left school.

[@caughtjungle573]

Wow - this would have been the exact paper I would have taken if it wasn't for covid! Somehow I passed and thank god I did not have to sit the exam😅

[@wardjunior1450]

This is the paper from one year after mine. Except I did foundation paper.

[@seanatkins5519]

do the irish leaving certificate

[@gabriql]

Can you by any chance consider doing an edexcel paper at some point? I'm sitting edexcel in two months. Thanks and I'd love to see paper two at some point! (they fit your style better as they are more problem solving then knowledge)

[@g.xfsz0]

samee

[@Harvey1211]

Are you feeling confident with it? They’re making a habit of putting an AWFUL geometry problem as the final question of the exam every year, they’ve done it twice in a row now, so make sure you’re comfortable with that. I sat Edexcel in 2022 and we had this weird three interlocking circles problem and you had to show that a shaded area was equal to something.

[@gabriql]

@@Harvey1211 Yeah i have done the exact question you're referencing. It's tragic that we aren't getting lots of proofs or anything more manageable anymore. My two worst areas are ratio + and weird geometry questions we get thrown. Im predicted a 9 and i have been getting like 75-80/80 for the most part so I am pretty confident. I think edexcel might be stepping up their game though because I thought the june 23 papers were alright. Gl with A levels if your doing them.

[@Harvey1211]

@@gabriql thanks for the reply, I’m absolutely certain you’ll get that 9. If I got a 9, you’ll definitely get one lol. My prediction is that you’ll get an easier paper than 2023 because a lot of people were ‘robbed’ of their good grades and there was a public outcry, but the boundaries probably won’t change. I’ll be doing my A Levels in Maths and Further Maths soon. I’ve also got to do some special maths tests called STEP tests. Would you say maths is your strongest attribute?

[@gabriql]

@@Harvey1211 Yeah I am doing the exam two years early + doing independent study for it so I just get randomly nervous or realise I haven't seen / taught myself something before. It's strange because I should be more confident then most people sitting in y11. I'd say maths is my strongest attribute yeah. I have also been setting my goal towards sitting step in y13 bec I want to go to cambridge (ideally). First paper is in a month, gl for your step.

It’s always wild to me seeing so many people struggle with gces, I used to always think they were the equivalent of what I’m doing rn, Scottish highers, but when I found out they were the equivalent of national 5s, (the year before) I was shocked because they are incredibly easy, especially compare to higher. How does the whole nation seem to struggle😭

[@Ascension721]

I'm not as familiar with Scottish highers but most people don't realise AQA is the easier and less common exam board than Edexcel, so if you're just looking at AQA you aren't getting an accurate picture of the Maths GSCE most people do. Its also mandatory, not sure if thats the case for Scottish highers.
