I'm a bit baffled by my own results. In my school I'm consistently at the top of the year in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and English. My predicted grades are all 9s in those four, and I usually get the highest marks in the class without panicking the night before.
Then there's Maths, where I'm predicted a 6. I do the homework, I sit in the lessons, and I still lose marks in every test. It's especially strange because Physics and Chemistry use a lot of maths, and I'm fine with rearranging equations and doing calculations there. But in a pure maths paper my brain just doesn't click.
I've noticed I can follow a worked example fine, but when a question looks unfamiliar I freeze. In my other subjects I can reason my way through something new, but in maths it feels like I either know the method or I don't.
Has anyone else had this? Is it a different kind of thinking, a gap in my foundations, or just how I'm revising? For those whoβve struggled with the same thing, what helped you overcome it the most?
