IB Mathematics rewards steady practice more than any other subject. Here is a twelve-week plan that covers the syllabus twice before the exams.
Weeks 1–6: topic by topic
Work through the five topics in order, finishing each week with a mixed set of past-paper questions on that topic.
Week | Topic |
|---|---|
1 | Number and algebra |
2–3 | Functions |
4 | Geometry and trigonometry |
5 | Statistics and probability |
6 | Calculus |
Weeks 7–12: full papers
Switch to full timed papers, alternating Paper 1 and Paper 2. Mark them strictly with the markscheme and log every lost mark by topic.
