Dd's very able across the board but seems to have a problem with maths, specifically maths exams. She appears to understand all the concepts they've been covering and usually gets 100% in homework but isn't able to work at speed. In all her recent maths tests she's only been able to complete about three quarters of the paper so her mark has been much lower than the class average. She's getting the majority of answers right although is prone to silly mistakes which she usually spots when she checks her homework but doesn't have the chance to check her answers in tests as she's run out of time.
How can we help her speed up but still stay accurate? She has no SEN so will be stuck with the standard amount of time at GCSE. She desperately wants to be an equine vet so needs a good mark in maths.
Any ideas gratefully received
