I can't do maths GCSEs. I can't do worded problems. Where the numbers are hidden inside the words like it's a big game of hide and seek, and I can't find them. It's Ok!, everyone says to me, just use the resources, you'll get better! I'm in year 10 now. And not once have I gotten a decent test score, unless you count the one I did in year 8, but that was a foundation paper, it was only good at making me feel somewhat competent. None of it makes sense, none of it. Worded problems. how do I get around them? how do I know which steps to use? how do I know which topic it's based off of? percentages? algebra? trigonometry? ratios? or do I have to use Pythagoras' theorem? And sometimes, like this isn't already bad enough, the different topics merge together and form this big mess of more words and numbers and it keeps building and the difficulty keeps increasing, and the days just keep going and the more I keep failing and the further I keep falling behind everyone else...
