Content Map: What We Cover
Times Edu Strategy Playbook
Paper 1
Method marks first
Maximize Partial Credit
We teach a "Show-your-working" framework that guarantees method marks even if your final answer is off. Focus on algebra discipline and setup-first routines.
Paper 2
GDC Mastery
Use Tech Like an Examiner Expects
Don't use algebra when a graph will do. We cover correct model setup, interpretation language, and GDC error-proofing to save 15+ minutes per exam.
Paper 3 (HL)
Extended Problems
Systematic Problem Solving
Conquer the 30-mark giants. We teach the Translate → Plan → Execute → Verify loop to break down overwhelming questions into manageable steps.
IA Exploration
A Scorable Story
Not Just a Topic, A Strategy
We provide topic filters to ensure your idea has enough math, structure templates, and a communication checklist to hit top bands.
