Andrew's Guide to IB Mathematics Universe

Hello hello! After a successful launch of Revision Guide for topic 1.1 (sequences and series), I am now back with topics 1.2-1.3... after a month. I apologise for the long wait. This time around, we have proofs and logarithms. Some parts of 1.2 Proofs are only for HL students - these are clearly indicated in the booklet. Like the previous version, the questions are coded by my interpretation  of the difficulty using the scale on page 2. I have to admit that this booklet isn't perfect (there's a LOT more we could do with exponential and logarithmic equations), but due to the space restraints and that I don't wanna include questions that span several topics, I've "shortened" this section down to about 10-ish questions. Ladies and gentlemen, here it is: Good luck with your preparation kiddos. With 6 weeks before the first exam, the heat is on. Remember to take care of yourselves. c; Until next time, Andrew  Credits:  AdventurousAndrew#7499, unless otherwise state

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. Who am I? I'm currently majoring in Chemical Engineering at McGill, has a passion for assessments (especially maths assessments) and in turn 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.  I write a ton of assessments, some of which I shared on the site, and starting last year I decided to share more "content" instead of simply pos

  This is the second post of the series. In part 1  we discussed the prep work required to produce what I deem to be a reasonable exam paper at the level that the students are expected to achieve. Today we’ll focus on writing the actual questions and assembling them to form a complete paper. Hey there! Back with a second post on this. It’s been over a week since I first sat down and write, and since I’m not in the mood to do schoolwork it’s a good idea to just grab a coffee and share my thoughts. Throughout this rambling, ER refers to examiners’ reports, NOT emergency rooms. Even though I have read numerous papers about the theory behind assessment design and awarding process, I’m still a newbie when it comes to producing valid assessment tools. As outlined in part 1, I’m writing the papers on my own from my experience interacting with IB students as well as looking at what other exam boards are doing, and another person – ideally a subject specialist (shoutout to RShields#5160

Hey there! This post will be slightly different from what you've been accustomed to for the last month or so, specifically targeted at folks who want to start writing exams. But first off, I have a disclaimer: this is simply my two cents in writing assessments. The real process of exam writing is a lot more complex and involved, and I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect one or a couple people following the same process for a mock exam – it’s simply overkill. The two parts of “how I write assessments” only describe the process that I follow when writing assessments and that’s IT. If you want to take some bits and pieces here and integrate them in your own practice, that’s lovely, but I’m not saying that my method is the best on Earth. As you already know, I love writing assessments. It isn't news to many readers here – besides that I’m very happy to see y’all using my tests to prepare for your internals, I enjoy the process of writing tests. They don’t always have to be fo
