Dd is in year 9 and just did a real paper(Edexcel) in school. Thinks she scored 41%, got 80% on the other paper. She has some SENs, gets extra time and is a bit annoyed with herself. Really wants to up her score, school are pretty good but wondering how we can support her at home.Think she finished it but time was an issue. We have had similar in end of year exams ie other one is fine, calculator not so much. Data handling an issue( potentially not helped by her SEN not sure). I’m not that clued up on GCSE maths but presuming her basic skills are good but applying it quickly maybe an issue, could be wrong. How on earth do you improve your skills in this area? How would those scores pan out in the overall score?

Can any maths teachers give advice how to improve scores on the GCSE maths calculator paper?
