Unlimited free GCSE style questions with progress tracking. I made it for my brother and I wanted to share it. Pls give feedback!

The first part asked what Sin 30 is which is half

I wasn't sure about the last one and put Tan 90, what was the correct answer?

Any use Medly AI? What features would you say are most useful? Do you think it's worth subscribing?

Doing my GCSEs this summer and I've spent way too much time looking at flashcard apps trying to find the right one for maths revision specifically. Maths is weird bc it's not really vocab, it's more like working through methods and remembering when to apply which formula. Some apps handle that well, most don't.

What you really want in a flashcard app for gcse:

ability to insert images and equations easily, not just text Q&A bc maths is full of diagrams

spaced repetition that adapts to which cards you keep getting wrong

offline mode bc revision sessions on the train shouldn't break when wifi drops

some way to make cards from your notes without retyping everything (this is the big one tbh)

Apps I'd recommend after trying about six of them:

remnote: my main for maths revision now. you take notes normally, mark bits as flashcards on the fly, and they go into spaced repetition as you write. handles latex too which matters bc maths needs real equations not screenshots.

anki: legitimately the gold standard for spaced repetition, but the setup is rough if you're not techy. great once you push through the first weekend of configuring it.

quizlet: most people in my year use it bc the shared decks mean you don't have to make your own. fine for memorising formulas and definitions but weaker for actual maths method recall, the cards fall apart once questions ask you to apply something instead of just spit it back.

brainscape: gave it a go but the free tier is too limited for proper revision use. the confidence rating thing seemed interesting on paper but you can't really test it without paying, and I'm not paying for a flashcard app at gcse level when there's free ones that work fine.

If you're doing al text vocab subjects (history, sociology, etc) any of these honestly work. For maths specifically, equation and image handling is what separates them, so that's what i'd

I got a 6 in GCSE maths but for the degree i want to do it requires a 7, i’ve enrolled to retake GCSE maths with all the year 11s which is quite. embarrassing (exam is on Thursday).
Is it worth it?

i am super stressed for math and i panic on questions. does anyone have any predictions on what will come up or any advice or tips it's all greatly appreciated thank you!

Usually, I end up finishing the entire paper 30ish minutes early. Im working at a low/mid 8 and aiming for a 9. I always end up making silly mistakes.

I try to go through the paper once more so that I can catch them. However, I don't find them all as I skip going over a few questions due to time

So my question is

Should i resolve the harder high mark questions again?

Or should I just re read my working out for all the questions?
