People in 2010 really out here doing Year 8 level exams for GCSE

they should do a gcse language paper to test james' linguistic skills

If my GCSE exams looked like this, I’d be an astrophysicist

I’d honestly like to see him try a higher paper to see how he reacts to the quadratic formula and trigonometry

the sheer difference of foundation and higher is unbeleivable (Edit) y tf is there some next war in my comments it’s just GCSES calm down

Good luck to those who are counting this as revision for their GCSEs

I had to do a foundation maths paper for gcse and the first question was genuinely "which of these numbers is an odd number?" I have never been so insulted in my life

Me, a year 9 student, watching two 20 year olds figure out how to factorise: 😃

Me watching two 20+ year olds forget the squared after cm: 👁👄👁

Mum : “YOU STUDYING???” Me : “I’m doing maths” Me in my room :

As a year 12 student who is doing maths and further maths a level it’s nice to see grown men struggling with the basics

the different between foundation maths in 2010 vs now is shockinh

"15 what?! 15 apples!" This brings back trauma

If there’s a question on circles we all know George will get full marks

Alternate title: James Marriott helps his son take the GCSE maths exam

9:35 I now understand why he took foundation, he put 15-4 as 9

little did they know this was actually a Yr6 SATS test

I flopped my A-level maths paper today but this makes me feel like the next Pythagoras

9:54 THE WAY GEORGE SCREAMED "OW" LIKED HIS TOES HAD JUST BEEN STAMPED ON

Man I wish I had this type of math. I'm lucky if I even get numbers in my math questions nowadays

*Difference between 4 and 15 being 11 exists* George: “That’ll be nine”

The fact that they didn’t show working out so they have lost like 20 marks lol Edit: I did my GCSEs in 2019 so that’s fairly recent and even if you got the right answer with no working out you would only get 1 mark instead of like 4

As a certified nerd, I saw someone marking this, but weren't very accurate, so I'm going to give my markings. I also found the marking allocation, so this is accurate Generally Cambridge are very strict on working out, but I won't be that harsh. I will be basing working out marks on what they say and what they write. I will also be giving corrections Qu 1: 3/3 a) 1/1 b) 1/1 c) 1/1 Qu 2: 4/4 a) 1/1 b) 1/1 c) 1/1 d) 1/1 Qu 3: 3/3 a) I can't judge this correctly due to the fact I don't have the sheet physically. I will give the mark though, bc I'm sure they know how to use a ruler b) 1/1 - Cambridge is lenient when it comes to measuring angles, they will give the mark usually if you are up to two off. I went and measured this angle. It is exactly 35° therefore they get the mark c) 1/1 Qu 4: 2/2 a) 1/1 b) 1/1 Qu 5: 2/2 Qu 6: 4/4 a) 1/1 b) 1/1 c) 1/1 d) 1/1 - it would've been better to specify that they were multiplying the term by 2, and adding 1 to the result. The correct format is actually '2n+1'. However they would still receive the mark) Qu 7: 4/4 Qu 8: 3/3 a) 2/2 (since they realised their mistake, I'm giving the mark) b) 1/1 Qu 9: 5/5 a) 1/1 b) 1/1 c) 1/1 d) 2/2 Qu 10: 3/3 a) 1/1 b) 2/2 Qu 11: 3/3 i) 1/1 ii) 2/2 Qu 12: 2/4 a) 1/1 b) 0/2 - the range is 15-4, therefore, the answer is 11. Even though the working is correct and he made a mistake by subtracting 6, this won't come through to the examiner whether he actually knows what range is. Therefore no marks) c) 1/1 Qu 13: 5/6 a) 1/1 b) 1/1 c) 2/2 d) 1/2 - he didn't show working Qu 14: 2/2 Qu 15: 4/6 a) 1/2 - answer is correct. However the reasoning is vertically opposite angles are equal b) 3/4 - didn't give all reasoning needed Qu 16: 5/6 a) 1/1 b) 1/1 c) 2/2 d) 1/2 - answer is correct, however working out is not Qu 17: 1/3 a) 1/1 b) 0/2 - tessellating is when you draw shapes directly next to each other. What George was drawing is known as congruent shapes Qu 18: 7/7 a) 3/3 b) 4/4 Qu 19: 3/3 a) 1/1 b) 1/1 c) 1/1 (we'll ignore the number 40 and go on what he said 😭) Qu 20: 3/3 a) 1/1 b) 2/2 Qu 21: 0/3 4| 3, 5, 7, 7 5| 0, 3, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8 6| 1, 2, 2 Key: (e.g) 6|1 is 61g Qu 22: 2/2 Qu 23: 0/3 - enlarging by a scale factor of 2 from the centre point 1,0 Qu 24: 2/2 Qu 25: 3/3 Qu 26: 2/2 Qu 27: 3/3 Qu 28: 1/6 a) 1/1 b) 0/3 - working: 8x - 12 = 5x + 7 8x - 5x = 12 + 7 3x = 19 x = 19/3 c) 0/2 - working: y² + 5y + 4y + 20 y² + 9y + 20 Therefore their mark is: 81/100 If only my GCSEs had been this easy 😭

I’m doing gcse maths in foundation and this is so easy.. shows how it gets harder every year because it’s quite difficult rn, especially for someone that’s not that good at maths.

I love how he's so confident about the range being 9 and its just not

Ah yes, the invigilator, the crusher of every British 16 year old's dreams.

James is so supportive and talks him calmly through the steps, better than some of my teachers hahaha

This is the only revision I need before my maths gcse thanks George and James for being excellent tutors

If you're gonna make this a series, you gotta do the SAT It's time to destroy the American education system

This feels like a year 7 maths lesson

as someone doing their gcses, it is so much harder than this now 😭

watching james work out maths problems is oddly comforting 🤣🤣

When you're doing higher and you're just sat there like: 😐

But math papers now be asking you: "Jimmy is 8 years old, his train is 15 years late, calculate the mass of the sun."

I love james' chiming in and giving him the damn formulas.

Watching James actually struggle with some of the questions gives me great joy

Actual title: 2 Grown men answering simple maths questions.

Don’t mind me, just doing a-level maths and wondering how it got so much worse

George resitting his maths gcse for the 12th time

James is like the teacher I never had. thank you james

I would love to see them doing a 2020 higher maths GCSE paper - they’re so hard it’d be hilarious

The energy of this video is George is taking a practice exam and James is his exhausted tutor

9:34 Largest number = 15 Smallest number = 4 range: 15 - 4 = 11 George: *the answer is 9*

Quadereralateral 12:40

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.

Me whos redoing my maths GCSE in sixth form: *why can’t my test be this simple wtf*

I love how James wasn’t briefed before coming on and is so disappointed at his life choices

TL;DR: they got 84% As someone with a degree in maths, I took the liberty of marking this paper. Here was my breakdown: (also my total marks goes to 99 not 100 so either I'm going insane or it's a mistake in the paper) 1. 3/3 2. 4/4 3. 3/3 but BOTD 4. 2/2 5. 2/2 6. 4/4 7. 4/4 8. 3/3 but they did arguably cheat sooo... 9. 5/5 10. 3/3 11. 3/3 (BOTD) 12. 3/4 (probably but BOTD) 13. 6/6 14. 1/2 because you didn't explain 15. 4/6 (the term is "vertically opposite" and you probably needed that to get the mark. I gave BOTD for the second part) 16. 6/6 17. 1/3 (no BOTD :( ) 18. 7/7 19. 3/3 20. 3/3 21. 0/3 22. 2/3 23. 0/3 24. 2/3 25. 3/3 26. 2/3 27. 3/3 28. 2/6 but that's being extremely generous Total: 84/99. Idk what the pass mark is, but that looks like a pass

This has big ‘kid explains his homework to his big brother’ energy

Why does this paper look like something I would have done in year 7-

I like how we can now say we watched George and James as revision

This is absolutely beautiful to watch after just finishing my higher GCSE maths paper

I wanna see the Eboys try the 2020 higher paper especially since we dodged that last year

can't believe i just watched 20 minutes of two men in their 20s answering math questions for 5th graders

this is easier than the homework I got set in year 7

"This is where they get you, this is the hard one" *shows a question on factorising - something that is really easy*

bruv you’re telling me I left those maths exams to see my friends who did foundation and we’d all be like “ughh that was so hard” AND THIS IS WHAT THEY’D JUST DONE

See this paper looks alright the over c paper was such a big jump from this difficulty wise it’s outrageous

This gives off extreme older sibling helping younger sibling with their homework

this made me realise how much i love factorising idek why but those last questions where george gave up those were my favourites

As a student this is the easiest paper I've ever seen. I swear schools just make it harder each year. In 40 years they will be teaching quantum mechanics

Opposite angles are equal ❌ “Just is” ✅

as a foundation maths GCSE student, I absolutely love this

The last question on foundation is the first on higher....

anyone else in year 10 just trying to find some hope to pass your GCSEs?

i’m in year 11 and doing higher maths and i wish it was this easy 😭

james getting 40 divided by 5 wrong is so funny

Aww so sweet of James to tutor a dyslexic kid in his spare time

they need to add up how many marks they got and let us know if they passed GCSE maths

its like when you finish a mock and the teacher has to go through the paper with the class

it’s so funny that james still didn’t notice loads of them that george got wrong

this is great revision for my mocks

Can’t believe memeulous has now done more GCSEs than I will this year

Taking a math exam for our entertainment...the things these mad lads do I'd love to see you do the Gaokao next, it's China's college entrance exam and it's one of, if not THE hardest tests you'll ever see. There IS an English section, but it's not what you'd expect

I wanna see them fail a biology / chemistry paper so bad

This video has taught me more about maths than 8 revision sessions have.

as a 11th grader this hurt me that george took this as a year 10.... this is some shit they’d give me in like 7th grade

this is a lot funnier now that i've actually done my GCSEs

gonna fall asleep with this in the background as my last revision before my exam at 9 tomorrow 😭

This is paining me seeing how easy it is compared to the work I’m doing in year 10

You need to do a current gcse maths exam and see how you find that

9:38 15 - 4= 9

watching the foundation paper has boosting my confidence a ton

As a year 11 student this is so funny to me, coz I can see where I'll be in 10 years even though the idea of getting these questions wrong now seems so weird

I wanna see a part 2 where they do a higher paper, i think that'll be interesting

In my first year of college and never fucking understand ratio since year 6 and james just explained it better than all my teachers

oh god I wish I had James as my homework tutor instead of my dad, that really was a terrifying time in my life. never again.

George: “Rice Krispies- RK.” Me: “Reality Kings.” James: “R Kelly!” Me: 👁👄👁

The fact I still failed this multiple times in school is extremely embarrassing hahaha

Loving the fact that i got a gcse related add on this

This is making me feel a bit better about my maths GCSE next week

“What is a mode?” I’m shouting at the screen

as a student abt to do GCSE Higher Maths Im seriously considering foundation rn

Parents: We managed to pass our exams without the internet! Their exams:

i didn’t realise that foundation was that simple what i’ve done a maths test a week for six weeks in a row for my gcses and they were all so solid i_-

6:44 “I’m gonna take take a shot in the dark” 😂😭

this gives me "dad quizzing his kid at the dinner table" vibes

Why did I enjoy this so much?

14:51 for multiplication you just multiply top numbers and bottom numbers together.

The stupid part is that it's actually or was actually depending on how the tests have changed since 2012 easier to get a C on a higher paper than a Foundation paper even if you were thick because most higher papers questionswerethe same as lowers to an extent usually changing after totaling enough points to for a C, this is how I managed to sleep thought all my tests and pass 36points was a sweet C!
