Get back on track

The COVID-19 pandemic has been disruptive for students of all ages around the world.
And if you’re preparing for your GCSEs then it’s especially important that you catch up on
any work you’ve missed. This pack is designed to help you revise and practise any topics you
might need a reminder on, and stay on track for success in your Pearson Edexcel Mathematics
GCSE course.

Stress-free studying
Here are a few top tips from our experts to stay healthy and sane when things
get busy!
• Set yourself simple targets, like reviewing a couple of pages of the Revision Guide
in a 20-minute study session.
• Phone a friend! If you’re struggling with a topic, ask one of your friends if they’ve
figured it out and can explain it to you.
• Find a quiet space at home or at school – use headphones if it helps you to
concentrate.
• Put your phone on silent, and try not to get distracted by TV or the internet.
• Drink plenty of water, get plenty of sleep, take breaks and stay active!

If your school follows the Pearson Edexcel two- or three-year scheme of work, you can use
the shading on the left-hand side of the table to help you find the topics you are most likely
to have missed between spring half term and the summer holiday. You can also check with
your teacher to find out exactly which topics you should have covered during lockdown.
