Paper 1 Strategy

"Short questions, zero hesitation"

We drill the workflow routine and mark protection. Don't let simple algebra errors cost you grades when the GDC can do it flawlessly.

Key Focus

  • check_circle GDC Solvers
  • check_circle Sigma Notation
  • check_circle Finance App
Paper 2 Strategy

"Extended modelling + communication"

It's not enough to get the answer; you must show the examiner the path. We teach model-first writing and high-yield drills.

Key Focus

  • check_circle Interpretation
  • check_circle Validity checks
  • check_circle Structured writing

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a specific calculator for this course? expand_more

Yes, a Graphing Display Calculator (GDC) is essential. We train primarily on the TI-84 Plus CE and Casio fx-CG50, which are the most common models allowed in IB exams.

What is the difference between SL and HL support? expand_more

HL students receive additional hours covering the extension topics (Paper 3, Matrices, Graph Theory). SL students focus on the core modelling syllabus. Both streams get full IA support.

How does the diagnostic test work? expand_more

The diagnostic is a 30-minute session where we assess your current understanding of key concepts and your workflow efficiency. You'll get a report highlighting your top score blockers.
