Frequently asked questions

Are these official IB Math AI predictions?

No — these are data-driven forecasts from our analysis of past Math AI papers, not official or leaked IB content. They highlight the most frequently tested topics; the real paper can sample anywhere in the syllabus.

How are the Math AI predictions calculated?

We count how often each AI SL topic has appeared across recent Paper 1 and Paper 2 questions and weight it by marks, then rank by that score. Because both papers are GDC-required, the calculator workflows behind each topic (regression, finance solver, normal distribution) are factored into how to revise them.

How should I revise with them?

Start with the highest-probability topics and rehearse the exact GDC steps each one needs, then broaden out. Use the ranking to order practice — not to skip topics, since any can appear.
