[AAHL][AASL] Revision Guide: Topic 1.1

-

Henlo kiddos!

Really hope everyone's doing great. Tis is the time of the year when N23s have barely started the course (and I see many of them are doing sequences and series) while M22s better start revising for the exams. Just a friendly reminder: unless you've been told explicitly by your school that exams won't go forward, please do yourself a favour and study NOW if you wanna do well.

Due to popular demand (~40 votes in the Mocks server, not a small proportion) one of my focuses for this year is writing end-of-topic revision guides. I probably won't write these for EVERY SINGLE TOPIC, as some topics never show up as a grade 7 question (I'm looking at you, correlation). For more info re: the structure and the purpose of this booklet, read the second page, but here's a tl;dr:

  • Different target audience - this booklet is aimed at everyone, including those shooting for a 7. Some questions are deliberately set at that level. For more accessible questions, please check out the Survival Guide.
  • Some examples are included, but either to demonstrate an important point or to showcase my reasoning when dealing with more complex questions.
  • I assumed that y'all have seen the topic before and could still recall most basic things from the topic. Space is precious and I don't wanna waste your time with "boring" derivations that you should've done in class, for example, proofs for the finite sum of an arithmetic or a geometric series. You can easily look them up online.

Looking at the size of sequences and series (AA 1.1), it's gonna be a while until I finish writing everything alongside my courses. Instead of burning myself out I'll post these as I go along, probably once every 2 weeks. 

Disclaimer: if your teacher teaches at the same pace as this guide, it's a very good warning that you need to do more practice. If you find these questions too challenging, it's a good idea to check other resources. For more procedural exercises, I recommend Solomon Worksheets, available on PMT.


Last words: please spread the word if you find this helpful. DMs are open for suggestions, or you can send questions directly on the Mocks server. You may also fancy buying me a coffee, that'd be greatly appreciated! :D

[Survival Guide] AASL Version

-
Hello hello hello! I am now back with a fancy project - the ultimate Survival Guide for AASL. If you're struggling and you want an all-in-one Survival Guide, this  is it! What's in the Revision Guide? Packed inside this booklet are a series of statements for you to check if you're prepared to get a solid 4 (or even a 5!) on the official exams. You'll also have questions on the right column to check if you know what you're doing. Answers not included. I know y'all don't have time to do all the stuff in hundreds of pages of the RG, and it's hard to find a revision checklist like this online, so I might as well make it available for everyone interested. c; Disclaimer I've tried my best to only include topics that usually pop up quite early on the exams, but do not sue me if the questions on the exam do not exactly match with my preds.  Compacting two years of content in a 15-page document means some content will be left out deliberately  (you don't

A collection of topic tests that I've ever written on the website. Unit Tests Occasionally featuring questions from endless inspirational sources. Answers included. Nombre complexes (AAHL seulement)  Complex number. The test is in English, don't worry. Contains some wonderful questions that might require the use of integration. Logarithms (AASL/AAHL)  Logarithmic, exponential and rational functions. Further transformations for AAHL students. Proofs, binomial and more (AASL/AAHL)  A list of miscellaneous topics that don't fit anywhere. Quadratics (AASL/AAHL)  Combined algebra and quadratics - an updated version will arrive soon. Quadratics (AISL/AIHL)  Slightly different from the former because of the emphasis of the courses. Sequences and series (all four courses)  Covering two types of series studied in depth in IB: arithmetic and geometric. Knowledge of logarithms was required if memory serves me. Version 2 Sequences and series (AASL/AAHL)  A more general approach to sequ
