You know the maths. So where did the marks go?
Most GCSE students don't lose marks because they don't know enough. They lose them by misreading the question, showing too little working and running out of time. Maths Forensics finds exactly where your marks disappear, and fixes it before your mocks.

THE EVIDENCE
Three ways Capable students lose marks
You answer a question that wasn't asked
You rush the reading, miss "show that" or "to 2 decimal places", and drop marks on maths you can actually do.
Your answer is nearly right, but the marks don't come
Method marks only go to working the examiner can see. Thin working costs you marks even when your thinking was right.
You make the same mistakes on every paper
Revising more content won't fix a habit. Until you know where your marks go, they keep going there.
These aren't knowledge problems. They're execution problems. And they're fixable
How it works
Investigate. Diagnose. Repair. Rehearse
Maths Forensics isn't another revision course. It's a system for finding the marks you're already losing, and getting them back.
Find the evidence
Sit a Cold Case paper under exam conditions, or play Hot Pursuit for a six-minute check.
Log every mark
See whether each mark went on reading, method, timing or the topic itself.
Fix the habit
The Exam Execution Guide fixes how you sit the paper. The Mark Recovery System fixes the topics where you keep slipping
Practise until it sticks
Practise every topic in Maths Forensics Lab, right up to grade 8–9, until the new habits hold under pressure.
WHAT A DIAGNOSIS LOOKS LIKE
Four marks available. One scored. Zero knowledge gaps.
The forensic mark scheme doesn't just tell you the right answer. It shows where each mark was lost, so you know whether to fix your reading, your working, your timing or the topic.

THE INVESTIGATOR
I've marked thousands of GCSE papers. The same marks go missing every year
I'm Mike Taylor, and I've taught GCSE maths for more than eleven years across AQA, Edexcel and Cambridge IGCSE. Every summer I watch capable students walk out of the exam feeling they did worse than they should have. When the papers come back, I can see exactly why.
It's almost never the maths. It's the reading , the working and the timing. Maths Forensicsis the system I use with my own students to stop that happening .

Frequently Asked Questions
If you lose marks on questions you know how to do, start with the Guide: it fixes how you sit the paper. If you need more practice on topics, the Lab is where you get it. Students aiming for the biggest jump use both: the Guide for the method, the Lab to make it automatic.
No. It's about turning what you already know into marks. Use it alongside your normal revision. It makes that revision count on the day.
