You will have already completed your revision by now. In the last few days, just look through the formulae you will be using, write out any than you are not instantly familiar with - each time there will be less. Go through the ones left on the list once more.
The day before, aim to get a good 9 hours continuous sleep, 3 of which before midnight, and no alcohol. Allow time for breakfast -however brief- in the morning.
In the exam, read through all the questions first, and if there is a choice, pick the one's you prefer to do. This allows your brain to mull over the one's later in the paper even while you are working on the earlier one's - it happens unconsciously. If you can, work out roughly how long to spend on each question.
Good luck.

I'm guessing by you saying that you only have a week left your resitting the exam unless it is something totally different. I took my Maths GCSE in june 2006. all you need to do is go through a few practice papers make sure they are the newer versions because usually you don't get questions in the past paper come up again. not everything you have been taught will come up but you must be prepared to tackle all kinds of questions make sure you have covered the areas you find hard. Anything you find hard talk to your teacher about now before its too lat. By the way i got an A at GCSE so im guessing you can get that aswell. ALWAYS SHOW YOUR WORKING ON THE EXAM

Get a good nights sleep the day before the exam, go into the exam prepared and feeling confident, have extra after school lessons with your maths teacher to help you prepare, download past papers from the internet and work through them which will give you an idea of what could come up in your exam, have the right equipment with you, work through the question paper steadily, leave the one's you don't know and if there's time at the end go bk through, try and work through them but if not have an educated guess, it could get you more marks, also show your workings out for some of the harder questions, even if the answer is wrong but the method is right it could get you some extra marks... Other then this, relax!!
Hope this helps, good luck!!

I had my maths paper 1 mock this morning.....the first half was all right, some of it was even easy, but the second half wasn't so good....some of it was ok, but some of it was quite hard...
I'm aiming for my target grade of an A*, and i hope you get it! I've got my paper 2 mock next Monday, and then i'm also doing Statistics, because i'm in the top set.
Erm....i did plenty of revision last week, and i am this week too, for all of my exams....and i'm trying not to let it stress me out. As it's only the mock, i'll be happy with about a B, but not really any less than that.....:s.....good luck!

do not hassle. The exam board will positioned the grade hindrances up little question about it. I worked my socks off this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days attempting so not difficulty-free for my gcse English lang exam to substantiate that the grade hindrances were raised and that i'm a million mark off. i'm now anxiously waiting for my resit result to substantiate if i surpassed it really is'nt in all likelihood. i'm not likely to resit ever decrease back. i'm 17 btw. I spent the previous 3 hundred and sixty 5 days attempting so not difficulty-free for it at the same time as juggling my college route to substantiate i don't have tried!!!!!!

Revision for Maths is only really effective if you are doing past exam questions, or relevant questions from a text book.
Reading Maths stuff isn't good enough. Your teacher should have given you lots of old exam papers...have you done them?
If you don't have any I might be able to help you.
