Introduction
Ordinary Level Maths is often underestimated. Many students believe it’s “just the basics,” yet every year examiners note that common mistakes cost students valuable grades.
This post highlights grade-boosting topics most students miss—and how grinds can help ordinary-level students jump from an O6 to an O3 or better.
The Importance of Ordinary Level Maths
- Essential for students pursuing apprenticeships, training, or certain college courses.
- A strong Ordinary Level grade can still secure key CAO points.
- Over 20,000 students sit Ordinary Level every year.
Commonly Missed Topics
- Statistics & Probability
Students often rush these but they’re straightforward marks when studied properly. - Financial Maths
Simple interest, compound interest, depreciation—these are predictable questions. - Area & Volume
Formula recall is easy points but often neglected. - Algebra Basics
Ordinary Level still requires equations, factorisation, and graph interpretation.
How Grinds Boost Ordinary Level Results
- Focused revision on “easy win” topics.
- Weekly practice with short questions that carry big marks.
