This is absolutely beautiful to watch after just finishing my higher GCSE maths paper
Foundation is genuinely the consolation prize. Like it's one thing to have questions like that, but it's another to teach students this content over the span of 2 years and those students aren't even that young, they're 16 when they take the test. Like it's funny when you see people take SATs test (like the one from when you're 10, not the American one) and the questions are hard because they're something you learn and then forget after not doing it for years, but these are like... There is no method to forget, it's just looking at numbers and writing them again. I mean some of these are remembering stuff, like the name of the angles so those ones are fair enough I guess, but the rest have got to just be there to make you feel good because you know the answer.

FYI for the people confused, there is a foundation tier GCSE paper which they are doing in the video. It is bascically done by students who are weak in maths and want to get good grades. The students are selected by the school. Also, the actual GCSE paper is honestly not this easy.
I was told toodo foundashon paper an I'm fin :))
Oh makes sense
Important to note that Foundation Papers have a capped grade. When I was taking them in 2009, that max you could get was a C, whereas the Higher paper had a minimum grade of D.
@@cptncutleg its different now I think. From memory from when I was told last year u can still get a U in higher but it is rly hard to fail that bad. Foundation is till capped at a 5 (C) tho
@@tommustoe2304 Oh, a U is definitely possible. If you scribble everywhere, write a fake name and rip the paper up, but even if you only get 10 or so marks and as long as you don't do all of that, you should manage a D at least.
