    “Christiaan had a workload of over 100% as he was teaching Physical Sciences, Mathematics and Advanced Mathematics for our senior learners at the school. His patience to work with struggling learners is commendable and he was a very popular teacher amongst the learners due to his willingness to assist learners whenever he is available. He inspired our high flyers to improve their marks for university entrance and acceptance. He is an extremely hardworking, professional individual who is highly intelligent and has an admirable knowledge of Maths and Science.”

Study strategy

Study plan and exam strategy for IB Math AA HL

A clear path from your syllabus or specification to exam day

  1. 1

    Ongoing through the programme

    Foundation and syllabus mapping

    Map your child's subject guide and identify strengths and gaps. We cover core topics with clear explanations and worked examples so your child has a solid base. Focus on precise definitions and key concepts that examiners test repeatedly.

  2. 2

    From mid-DP1 or earlier

    Past papers and exam technique

    Introduce timed past papers and use mark schemes and examiner reports. We identify question types you find hardest and practise them. Build the habit of showing full working and checking units and reasonableness of answers.

  3. 3

    As per your child's school deadlines

    Internal assessment support

    Plan and draft IAs with guidance on method, analysis, and criteria. We guide planning and feedback, but we do not write or complete assessed work for the student. Leave time for redrafting and teacher feedback.

  4. 4

    Final term before exams

    Revision and exam readiness

    Structured revision of weak areas and full past papers under exam conditions. We focus on time management, question selection, and avoiding the common mistakes highlighted in examiner reports.

Tactics

  • Use official IB (International Baccalaureate) subject guides and past papers as the backbone of revision.

  • Build a glossary of precise definitions for subjects that demand them.

  • Practise under timed conditions and mark your work with the mark scheme.

  • Start IAs early and get feedback on structure before writing the full draft.

  • Read examiner reports to see common errors and what gains marks.

Recommended approach

The IB (International Baccalaureate) Diploma Programme rewards consistent work and clear understanding. Start by aligning your child's revision to the subject guide and past papers.

Use active recall and spaced repetition for content-heavy topics. For IAs and the Extended Essay, plan early and seek feedback on structure and method; do not leave drafting to the last minute.

In the run-up to exams, prioritise timed past papers and examiner reports so you know exactly what each question type requires. Time management in exams is critical: your child should practise allocating time per section and stick to it.

Our tutors can tailor this approach to your child's subject and level (SL/HL) and focus on their weakest areas first.
