Andrew's IB Maths Vault

Hello hello hello! You may have wondered where have I been in the last month. June was pretty busy for me, especially in the first half of the month. Also I've been thinking about revamping the trigonometry units, making sure that every one of you can easily solve most trig equations on your exams, so that's taking up some time as well. Now I'm back with a unit test on Further Calculus, covering Maclaurin series and differential equations. These topics are not inherently challenging but it'll poke all the holes in your differential and integral calculus. The usual plugs before we get on: I'm available for private and group tutoring - just fill out the form and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Let me know if there's any resources you want me to make. Can't make any promises but I'll consider it for sure!   Allow me to introduce the McClaury test! and the MS:

Hey y'all! DP2, hope you enjoyed the summer right before uni. Make the most of it; this may be the last summer you'll ever have to yourself. DP1 and anyone in between, remember to take breaks from your study sessions and reflect on how far you've come. For many students it's a wake up call, for others it's a sign of relief that you know a lot more than you do. If you're a little discouraged after having a go at the unit tests, as long as you're scoring higher as time goes on you're well on your way to a 7.    AASL   AASL MS   AAHL   AAHL MS  

Hey there kiddos! M24 exam series is just over. I had a look at the papers and frankly, if you've been studying hard and using all the resources I have to offer I'd say you can land a 7 without too much effort. I am now back with the second part of the calculus trio - Integration. For best results, AAHL students need to take both the SL and the HL papers. I personally think there's too much stuff that a single paper for HL wouldn't do it justice, though the test is just 30 minutes longer than the differentiation one. Without any further ado, let's get this bread. AASL: AASL Answers: AAHL: AAHL Answers:

Hello hello! With just under 12 hours before the AA final exams, here's my last gift to M24: a set of unit tests. This is not for the weak. If you want a motivation boost, go straight to my survival papers, not here. May the odds be ever in your favour. c: AASL: AASL MS: AAHL: AAHL MS: Andrew

Hey y'all! After the hectic three weeks (with my own schoolwork and mocks and revision sessions and all that) I'm happy to report that I finally got some time to upload the Survival Guide for AISL!! This work is in collaboration with an AISL teacher, christina77. She basically did all of the planning and also a common guest on AISL Survival Papers! Hope this would be a saving grace for you M24s, and may the odds be ever in your favour.

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.
