How many hours per week should I study for GCSE maths?

Elliot 69 answers
I have friends who have already started studying for their GCSE maths exams, some say 1 hour a week, while one says 3 hours a week. How much should I be studying? I don´t want to do maths at A-Level but want to get a good grade.

Hi Elliot, it depends on how confident you are on each topic. If you are doing well, 1-2 hours a week will be fine. If you are struggling on some topics, I would do 3-4 hours a week of 'revision'

I think you should study at your home everyday it's not important how much hour. The important thing is to study every day. At least an hour or half and hour will work for you.

It is not usually about the amount of time you spend studying per week, but it is about the quality of study you produce. It's no good to study 3 hours a week, if you don't learn and understand anything. Some students only require the hour, others require 3 hours a week. Studying every day and understand the concept of the maths topic whilst completing practice questions is what will help you achieve the best!!!

Planning according to the time available before examination and understanding level of the student will always be fruitful . If student plans to start immediately when academic year starts., he can plan 3-5 hours per week. If you have 6 months duration before exam, 5-7 hours per week will be really helpful. If planning lessons just before 3 months of your examination then I would suggest to plan 7-10 hours per week for better results.

Dear Elliot, Thanks for your question. Even if you're confident with your NUMBERS then, I would recommend you to browse through what you already know every day if possible. Don't try to jump up the ladder in one go and take one step each time. I don't know how confident you're but, 5 hours/weeks is enough at this stage including browsing through what you already know. Best of luck.

Hii Elliott!! I think it's not about time only about your the quality of your study time.Which means if you study only for 1hour in a day it's enough if you utilise that one hour properly. Some tips: * First you analyse your current grade level then take action according to it. * Also you need to understand your week areas in every topics first and try to learn it properly. * Must work out the previous year questions

A good rule of thumb for GCSE Maths is to aim for around 3-5 hours per week. This includes time spent on homework, revision, and practice papers. Consistency is key, so spread out your study sessions to avoid cramming. Finding a balance with other subjects and activities is crucial for keeping your study routine effective and manageable.

When I did GCSE Maths, I studied for 1 hour a day for 3-5 days a week depending on how I felt. It’s not about how long you study for but it’s how you use that time to revise. Some weeks I only did 2 hours and focused on my other subjects.

By Christmas, you would have completed the GCSE spec if not before. Maths is about practice. The earliest you start practising exam papers the better. Thus you will know your weakness and strengths. Doing papers will boost your confidence and aim the best possible results when you do your mocks. In terms of papers, at least 2 papers per week:Calc and Non Calc, definitely time yourself. This is in addition to homework and working on one or two other topics a week. All the best.

A well-known saying "Practice makes man perfect". So math needs practice whether to give 1 hour or more, just to keep practicing in a day. And if need to revise, then give an extra hour(s) within a week schedule.

Maths is a subject that you can only really revise by practising questions. I would do maths for about 30mins a day when your exams are getting close to keep your mind sharp but while also not boring yourself with revising hours of maths at one time.

Hi Elliit You should test yourself for understanding of problems. Make sure you are able to do all the questions in each section. I would recommend using this way to guide your studying rather than by time. Testing yourself and checking if your answers are correct is the best way to study for Mathematics. Best of luck!

Early preparations are key to getting good grades. However, the quality of work done in those hours is more important. Depending on your strength in maths, 3 hours won't be a bad idea.

The recommended study time for GCSE Maths can vary depending on individual circumstances, such as your current understanding of the material and your target grade. However, a general guideline is to aim for about 5 to 10 hours of study per week. This should include a mix of reviewing class notes, practicing past exam papers, and working on areas where you feel less confident. Consistency is key, so try to spread your study sessions throughout the week rather than cramming before exams

Normally it takes 6 months to prepare to pass the GCSE maths, but some people use 3 months, however when you study more it is better so 6 months should be your goal/aim. Also, 28 to 35 hours of study per week with short breaks in between is good.

Why are you asking this question to others? Nobody can give you the right answer to this question as everybody has it's own capacity. You are the best judge for judging your requirements. Calculate how many chapters are there and in each chapter how much theory, examples and questions are there, then make an estimate of time for one complete chapter. Multiply the number of chapters to the estimated time for one chapter. This way you will get total numbers of hours required to complete the whole book. Then calculate number of days left for your preparation. Divide the number of hours by the number of days left you will get the number of hours required to study per day. Best of luck.

Hi Elliot, Maths should be like an appetizer, I used to do 10 math questions (from different topics) every morning (1 hr) before embarking on the rest of the other subjects in my personal timetable. This helps jog the brain and improves your speed and accuracy as well. So to answer your question, 1 hr a day is sufficient to put you in a position where you can tackle any math question.

Begin from 30minutes to an hours per week to avoid being overwhelmed. Increase your duration as you become more comfortable. Break your study hours so be more manageable.Studying with friends too will be a good option for you.

I would recommend to gradually build it up through out year 11 as you don't want to burn out. Make sure you're confident with each topic after you've been taught them and review if you're not and aim for about 1 past paper a week (going over any questions you dont get).

Coming from an A* GCSE Math Achiever: 1-2 hours a week will be enough, AS LONG AS YOU ARE FOCUSED in that full duration of time. (no phones/distractions). 1-2 hours of revision a week is FAR MORE VALUABLE than say for e.g. 3 hours of ineffective revision every day. In that case, you'll think you have been more productive, but not really! Hope this helps! :)

First develop a love for the subjects. It is only how you understand the concepts underlying every lesson. Start writing ✍️ key points in each topic in every subject. This will help you in Revision. Develop a habit to write ✍️ half a page of handwriting in any subject daily. It will not only enhance your writing speed but also drive in essential topics required for the exam. Avoid wasting time. Exam is the focus. Listening to light music and playing outdoor games will make you feel happy and healthy to learn more.

Hi Elliot, first of all consistency and productivity matters you study 3 hours or 6 hours it should be 100% utilization of time. I would recommend you study everyday at least 1 or 1.5 hour, revise your lessons practice them, and continuing this practice pick out your weak topics and start devoting more time to it. It will improve your clarity of concept and fetch you good grade. Be consistent in your studies.
