Andrew for Hire - A little more about myself!

-
Hello hello hello! Welcome to the website! If you're here, there's a very good chance you're also in my mocks server . However, if you come from the IB server (I occasionally shared some posts there to get more traffic), you'll see that I have loads to offer. c; If you're interested, please fill out this form:  Andrew's tutoring form . I'll get in touch with you to understand your needs better. Just reach out and I'm more than happy to discuss your particular needs. Group tutoring are also available at a discount, please get in touch! Who am I? I'm a Chemical Engineering graduate from McGill, has a passion for assessments (especially maths assessments) and develops a passion for good teaching. I'm a mock exam writer (duh, I have an entire mocks server) since May 2020, writing papers for both AA and AI every exam season. I've been a session leader and occasionally revision organiser on the IB server for some time now. Here's the link to so...

[AAHL][AASL] Synoptic 3 (v2.1)

-
Hiya! After last week's algebra post to kickstart the year, we're back with a Synoptic. This is Synoptic 3, taken when students have done most of the content of the course. 1 hour, 3 standards, a lot of good questions if I dare to say it myself. c: For HL, trig identities make a comeback. For SL, there's a good old probability question.  AAHL: AAHL MS: AASL: AASL MS: Andrew

[AAHL][AASL] Algebraic Skills (Unit Test v2.4)

-
Hiya! Let's start 2026 with a unit test on basic algebraic skills. This test is ideally taken at the start of DP1, but it's still not too late to turn around if your algebra is not as strong as it should. c;  Starting off with basic number skills and ending with inequalities, this test covers everything you need to know to succeed in IB maths.  AAHL: AAHL MS: AASL: AASL MS: Andrew

HOLIDAYS SPECIAL: TMUA Set A

-
Hiya! The last two TMUA papers are designed to be a little easier than the actual paper. Now I'll bring out the big guns. c; A few of these questions will trip you. Take your time, focus on questions you can answer. You don't need 20/20 to secure a spot at your uni (unless you apply to Oxbridge). Getting 15-17 on this test is already quite impressive. Good luck!   Andrew

ADMISSION TESTS (TMUA): Collection of Resources

-
Hiya! Apart from the usual unit tests, I'll be posting a myriad of resources to help y'all prepare for admission tests. We'll focus on TMUA for now, but STEP and MAT can be added if there's demand. I'm definitely not qualified to write a STEP paper - those questions usually demand a LOT of thought and deep thinking from mathematicians - but I can certainly create useful resources. TMUA TMUA Practice Test (only Paper 1) Booster Test A Booster Test B Test A Test 2    TMUA Practice Booklet     Level 1 - core procedures, no twists Level 2 - 4 sets of 10 questions, slight twists as students progress through the sets.    May the odds be ever in your favour.
