Andrew's Guide to IB Mathematics Universe

Survival Papers (AdventurousAndrew and christina77) Survival Papers focus on the core topics that we consider crucial for a grade (level) 5 student. If you're consistently smashing these papers, getting a 5 on the real exam should be relatively straightforward. Papers 1A , 1B , 1C , 1D and 2A are available at the moment with the respective markschemes and scoring guides.   The Survival Guide will be posted in late April. Booster Papers Less straightforward than Survival Papers, more manageable than a typical Andrew's mock exam, hopefully on par with a typical past paper: here you go! Unit Tests Quadratics Trig relationships Sequences and series Intro to probability Probability distributions

Trigonometry. Is. Back. Two unit tests, AASL and AAHL, on trigonometric identities!! If you’ve been here for any amount of time you know that I am obsessed with disgusting-looking trigonometric equations. I’m happy to report that a couple more nasty trig equations are on the way!   Advice for AAHL students who are not aiming for 7: do not bother attempting every questions, you will run out of time.   AASL: (30 minutes, 4 questions)   AASL MS:   AAHL: (1 hour, 2 sections, 12 questions – very long )   AAHL MS:   It’s been a while since I posted my three booklets on trigonometric functions and identities – go to Triangles become Circles page for more details!   Have a wonderful week.

 Hey y’all! Sorry for the rather long pause – last week we didn’t have any wifi at my place!   Today I’m back with Survival Paper 2A! Different structure, same predictable questions. Just as Survival Papers 1A-1D cover Paper 1-style questions, Survival Papers 2’s will give you some practice on key Paper 2-style questions.   Without any further ado, here we go!   AISL Survival Paper 2A:   AISL Survival Paper 2A MS:   AISL Survival Paper 2A Scoring Guide:     P.S: The Survival Guide for AISL shall be posted around 20 April. Similar to Survival Guide AASL, it is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all topics, but merely a checklist to see if you’re on track to a 4.   Have fun with maths!   Andrew
