Love what you are doing to make maths enjoyable, relevant and easy to understand for students.....the Brian Cox of maths!!
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 😂
Try the AA HL one Tom. It's more difficult and more students tend to take it
Brilliant. Thank you, Tom
Please do AA(Analysis and Approaches) HL next
You should try a Math AAHL Paper. AIHL is considered “easier” compared to AAHL. If you’re up for a harder challenge, try the AAHL Papers
please do the Analysis and Approaches HL exam! its pure-maths focuses, and slight more challenging. you could try paper 1 and paper 3.
luv ur vidz
Please do a IB analysis and approaches Higher Level (HL) exam!
But that's the highest level
tom took the application and interpretation HL exam
@@wah3271 how'd he do
@@rebelsouljazliterally in the video 106/110
You skipped the instructions at the start, “Answer any 6 questions” haha. Q1 systematic sampling I think.
Awesome
You should check out the Analysis and Approaches IB HL exam, its a more pure math oriented (and harder) hl math course.
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”
I just wrote a comment for him to try this years paper 1 in maths 😅
Request to possibly try out the Chinese math Gaokao? (after someone translate it of course) My mother was a math teacher in China who taught at the high school level, I think it would be interesting to see what you think about the test.
Push this
You should try out the IB Math Analysis and Approaches HL Paper 1 and 3 (both without calculators)!
Amazing 🎉 Now try Mathematics Applications and Analysis Higher Level :D (MAA HL). Keep up the e work ❤
i think a vinculum is a long straight line used in fractions and in some countries to represent recurring decimal expansions
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!)
Hi Tom, thanks for the content. Do you have the guts to try a Putnam paper live, sight unseen? I am told that this series of papers is as tough as it gets for 'ordinary' maths!
I think you should do the UKMT (The United Kingdom Mathematics Trust) exam as it is coming up and quite a challenge
5:56 It s systematic sampling
Please do a video on the Irish leaving cert maths paper higher level - paper 1 or 2. Slightly more challenging than A level
You should try the other maths subject, Mathematics Analysis and Approaches. This is honestly like playing in easy mode 😂😂😂
Lmao that's so accurate
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 had the luck of having my exams scheduled for may 2020. First and only time IB exams were cancelled lmfao
Do the Math AA exam !!
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 😭😭
Try Math AAHL paper 3, it's very much about abstract math thinking and can be challenging
Please take Australia’s specialist maths 3/4 exam!!!
Great math dude your taking mathematics to the next frontier
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
You are referring to the formula booklet for AA. The formula booklet for AI has only 1 version.
Try paper 3 IB AA HL - maybe a contender for the STEP exam
I chuckled when you got to the part about the bird - Bulbul means penis in my mother language. Yes, I know it's a bird's name, but I didn't know it was known by that name internationally. I need to grow up.
please do AA HL paper as well, i'm taking that next year.
Hi can you try the Egyptian 3 secondary pure math test it is brutal or est test it is a test specialised for the American diploma in Egypt it is so similarly to the sat but harder in math
You should try IMO problems in the next videos!
Do you use programming with your math in your day-to-day?
It's interesting that they use the word 'gradient' instead of 'slope.' I wonder which is more common?
1c) was systematic sampling as every nth person was being picked
Please try an AA HL it´s what I´m taking and I want to know if its actually that hard
Can you Do the Russian final exam for maths? Would be interesting to compare the difficulty of ther countries

I'm just being an ass, can you solve 2 x 2 = x ? I do remember how the video game pong was realized in the 1960's and then became very popular in the 1970's.
Hi
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 🤍
Lolz I’m taking this exam this year
Can you try my Country a level exam please, from 🇺🇬 Uganda
Midpoint is the mean of the ordinates of the two points surely ???😂😂
systematic random sampling
IB - Intelligence Bureau?
Take jee advanced math exam
Do JEE plz

I don't think I would do well on this exam, and I'm in an american medical school lol
now Iam be Green
No more tattoos
A vinculum is a small burrowing rodent with nasty teeth and a long tail. It can only be placated by listening to music by Dvorak.
damn bro why do you gulp so loud
Bro really didn’t take analysis L bozo
Tom, you're not a Professor so why do you refer to yourself as a one? As a Fellow by Special Election, are you even on track to become a Professor?
You should try Examenul național de bacalaureat 2023 Proba E. c)-Matematică M_mate-info from Romania
I failed my ib math exam, i feel stupid 🙃
Fr that exam is ez af
