Maths Functional skills level 2 at the age of 46

[doneandone]

So I've managed to fudge my way through life with a GCSE D in maths. Im thinking of changing jobs so decided to bite the bullet and study for my functional skills level 2 in maths. Wow, it is hard! I'm really struggling to understand calculating percentages and fractions (well, all of it to be fair, but this seems like a sticking point). I just cannot get my head around it. I'll read how to do it but it just doesn't sink in! Anyone else studying this and finding it difficult? I wish i hadn't started it but I know it's for the best, I just really hate maths!

I have managed and taught FSK Maths for years. Lots of people in your situation. Feel free to DM me xx

@socialdilemmawhattodo can you suggest me a good resource testing my level in maths and learning further.

I looked at the book you linked here. That looks too easy, so can you suggest where I can check my level. I used to be quite good in maths but due to circumstances at that time, couldn't study it further. I studied it till age 14. I am not from UK, so not sure exactly what GCSE level maths is.
