Questions & answers
Frequently asked questions
Should I choose AA or AI?
AA places more emphasis on algebra, functions, calculus, derivation and proof. AI focuses more on modelling, statistics and technology. Students considering mathematics, physics or engineering often need AA; check the entry requirements of your intended universities.
How do HL and SL differ?
HL covers more content in greater depth and includes Paper 3. The mathematical exploration is worth 20% at both levels.
Can I use a calculator in every paper?
No. AA Paper 1 is non-calculator; AA Paper 2 and HL Paper 3 use a graphical calculator. All AI papers use a graphical calculator.
What is the mathematical exploration?
It is an individual investigation on a topic chosen by the student. It is marked by the teacher and moderated by the IB, and contributes 20% of the final grade.
When does the revised Maths course first examine?
The revised AA and AI courses are scheduled for their first examinations in May 2029. Students should follow the guide and examination year that apply to their cohort.
