Review the basic rules of factorization and practice simple examples.
Why first: four later topics in this chapter build on factorization, so this one gap is costing marks in more than one place.
Your topics in priority order. Work down the list — the first one unlocks the most marks.
Review the basic rules of factorization and practice simple examples.
Why first: four later topics in this chapter build on factorization, so this one gap is costing marks in more than one place.
Practice identifying variables and converting word problems into equations.
Why second: once you write the equation, you solve it correctly — the gap is in the translation step, not the algebra.
Complete a few additional practice questions.
Why last: this is already close to secure. A short top-up finishes it, so it does not need to come before the two gaps above.
Four steps, roughly 80 minutes of focused work, ending with a re-check so you can see the change.
Factorization basics, worked slowly with notes open. 20 min
Simple factorization, then word-problem translation. 30 min
Those two topics only — no mixed revision. 15 min
Retake the chapter check and compare with 72%. 15 min
