Maths revision guides
What are people saying about Oxford Revise?
“For years, we’ve had the same old revision guides. Too much information on a page, not focussing on key information. You can imagine my relief when I came across the OUP guides, then! The layout of the revision guides are certainly in line with common understanding of cognitive load theory and dual coding. The pages are clutter free and maintain a focus on a key learning point. This is exactly the type of book students need to be using, and exactly what I wish that I’d have had at school! “
Former Head of Maths
“The level of detail is second to none and the books go into great detail to explain how to get to the correct answer and why showing your working is important.”
5* Amazon review
“This book is really well presented and written for the AQA GCSE Maths Higher exam. I like the good use of colour to separate the different areas of study. In this book there is lots of useful study help and advice plus loads of good practice questions with full worked answers…very pleased to recommend.”
5* Amazon review
“My granddaughter finds maths difficult and felt she couldn’t get enough help with it. The book has helped her to self-study as it explains a topic, gives questions to work on and then provides the answers, with worked examples. This has helped her to pass her mock test and has given her more confidence, ready for the GCSE.”

How does Oxford Revise support your Maths GCSE revision?
We have a wealth of experience in supporting students for Edexcel and AQA Maths GCSE exams.
There is separate support for Foundation and Higher, with both following the same Oxford Revise approach, including:
- Knowledge organisers: There are 31 maths topics for you to master (fun fact – 31 is a prime number!) which means that there are 31 knowledge organisers ready to clearly explain each concept. With worked examples throughout and key terms pulled out, you’ll be ready to crunch those numbers come exam time!
Retrieval practice: Not like the mental maths tests you might have had to do before, these quick recall questions check that you understand different terms and can provide examples of concepts. Simply cover the answers and complete as many as you can. And with repeated practice you’ll lock in the knowledge you need.
- Practice questions: Now you need to put everything you know into practice! Each guide has 100s of exam-style questions to help you perfect your exam technique. Scan the QR code on each page to access the answers.
