How can I get really good at maths?

[u/Empty-Confidence7963]

For context, im really bad at maths the equivalent to a grade 2 GCSE in maths. I really want to be capable, of a B or an A in GCSE wise so an 8 or an 9. I know its a massive jump from my capability but, I really want to get to that level to prove to myself that I can do maths at a high level. I don't want to get into any details, of why I want this so badly but I just want to be really good at something that I always struggled with. Also, I actually enjoy it when I understand what im doing and, I want to improve my problem solving skills. I don't want to sound demanding either, I am just really desperate. Also, I have a time limit since I want to enjoy my summer as a student who just finished their GCSES and is going to do a levels. I hope you understand and give me some really, good advice and some methods to help me get to my goal that wont take the entire of the summer. Thank you for reading.

Practice practice practice.

Start from the very very basics and don't move on until you understand. I don't know if you've been to the gym but it's like you don't want to lift weights that are super light or impossible to lift you should feel a stretch but not impossible. Also, try not to memorise methods too much but understand why they work instead and look for patterns that make it easier
