Frequently asked questions
Are these official IB Math AA predictions?
No — these are our own data-driven forecasts from past Math AA papers, not official or leaked IB content. They show which topics appear most often; the exam can still test any part of the course.
How are the Math AA predictions calculated?
We count how often each AA SL topic has been examined across recent Paper 1 and Paper 2 questions and weight it by marks, then rank by that score. Paper 1 is non-calculator, so the by-hand methods each topic needs are factored into how to revise them.
How should I revise with them?
Lead with the top-ranked topics and practise the by-hand techniques Paper 1 demands, then broaden out. Use the ranking to sequence revision rather than leave topics out.
