GCSE Maths 9-1 Papers 2019 are TOUGHER!! New exam pattern, 3 papers and much more...

The GCSE Maths 2019-2020 exams are going to be much tougher than the previous years! The emphasis on non-calculator paper as well as 2 other calculator papers indicates that students need to practice lot more harder. There will be three papers (one non calculator and two calculator papers). Each paper will have 33.33 % weightage.

Developing problem solving skills, Memorising formulae (unlike in the previous years where the formulae used to be printed in the question papers), stress on mental maths (similar to Indian system!) etc are some key features. But the most striking is the abolition of grades (A to G) and introduction of number (9-1) to identify performance levels.

With new specifications introduced this year, GCSE Maths content is much larger and challenging with more emphasis placed on problem-solving.

The subject will be assessed by exam only, students will be expected to learn mathematical formulae by heart and apply their knowledge and reasoning to provide clear mathematical arguments.

The questions on GCSE maths paper will be based on a variety of topics which can be grouped into 6 main areas. The content has been organised into  6 broad topic areas:

Number

Algebra

Ratio, proportion and rates of change

Geometry and measures

Probability

Statistics

All content can be assessed on any of the three question papers. As such, some questions will draw together elements of maths from different topic areas.

The weighting of the topic areas has been prescribed by Ofqual and is common to all exam boards.

one of the key structural features of the new GCSEs confirmed by Ofqual - England’s qualifications and exams regulator - includes a new ‘grading scale’ - which will replace the traditional A* to G grading system - to, instead, use numbers 1 to 9 to identify levels of performance, with 9 being at the top end of the scale. Where performance is below the minimum required to pass a GCSE, students will receive a ‘U’.

GCSEs in 2017 will be getting a lot harder overall to “equip [young people] to win in the global race.” This, according to the DfE, will include “more challenging course content” and will see all subjects - including English literature, maths, and history - toughen-up.
