  • You should try a maths AA HL paper as well! That is usually what the more maths-oriented students take. My personal favorite paper, is paper 3, which is more about mathematical thinking than the other papers

  • The thing is that when we take these exams, we’re very prepared for them. Then you go onto more advanced stuff, coming back after a decade of not using that “easy” stuff, can be challenging at times 😂

  • You should try the Irish A level equivalent. It’s roughly the same difficulty from comparing papers, so you might have a fun time with it. It’s called the “Leaving Certificate,” whereas our GCSE equivalent would be the “Junior certificate”

  • That was really fascinating, and had no idea what you were solving but totally appreciate seeing how you reasoned through it! Quick Question, Tom...I am a retired civil servant and knew the people who wrote Policy at the Provincial level (Canada) for their respective Ministries, certainly with Masters, MBA and PHD certifications (as us lesser academic plebes needing to ultimately understand/interpret them haha). Question: Who, & how many....writes these HIgh School examinations? Are they High School Teachers, University Profs, Gov't Ministry employees with MA or PHD? I'm curious because, you are a very learned and high achiever, you were challenged here, do the people writing the exams have a standard curriculum in mind for 16,17 yr olds when it definitely challenged a mind like yours. I guess what I'm wondering is...who are, and how do, the writers determine what questions are Level appropriate and what are most likely their credentials....does my question make sense? (fyi Subbed and Thumbed!)

  • 1:46:00 "... formula for the mean, award A1 for correct *equation* " (emphasis mine). So basically the points are given for over-complicating the matter? My initial reaction to the question (without knowing the grading technique) would be (admittedly slightly tainted by some fondness for simplistic linear algebra) that the relevant values are how many answers are below and above the mean, ignoring the "2"-answers (that *is* the mean) and "3"-answers (that is k, and also "3" just happens to be one more than "2") the distances from "2" are [-2, -1, +2, +3, +4] with corresponding numbers [20, 24, 10, 3, 1], and guess what, [-2, -1, +2, +3, +4] * [20, 24, 10, 3, 1]' = -31. edit: emphasis.

  • I actually graduated and got my IB diploma in spring of 2022, watching this gave me flashbacks and the maths paper was even more difficult for me because I went through 3 different maths teachers and the third wasn’t even trained to teach IB, yet was somehow the best IB maths teacher I’ve had. I loved and hated the IB programme and I would probably do it all over again with the opportunities it opened up for me. It’s also super funny because I was in SL AI (standard level) and watching him take the HL looks so much easier than what I did for SL 😭😭

  • As a suggestion to the future, the formula booket showcased in the video 1.1 is not the official one due to mistankes fx incorrect formula for the sum of an infinite geometry sequences and forgetting the HL binomial expansion formula. Therefore I would advice anyone include you to look for the 1.3 math formula as that is the official by IB Besides that great video

  • Definitely give the AA (Analysis & Approaches) HL papers a try! AA HL is the more common pick for mathematics interested students and is maybe a bit more difficult as well. Paper 3 is also very unique so you should maybe try AA HL Paper 1 and Paper 3. At any rate, I enjoyed the video a lot as per usual. Thanks for the math content Tom 🤍
