- These details are for the current course. The IB has published a new mathematics course for first assessment in 2029, so students starting the Diploma from 2027 should check which course their school teaches.
- Full marks are not necessarily awarded for a correct answer with no working, so clear method matters.
- We also tutor Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation at SL and HL.
