Maths skills are used every day in our lives so employers want to know you have these skills to do your job well. Most universities and employers will want you to have a grade C+ / 4+ in English and maths at GCSE, so, in 2013, the government announced that all students in England must now achieve this (or level 2 functional skills) and keep on studying the subjects until they do. We think these will really help you to gain the skills you previously have found difficult. Give them a go.
