Dear IB Math AA SL/HL students,
If you are having your board examination in May 2024, you are in your last phase of preparation. Therefore, it is crucial to address common pitfalls that can affect your performance. How have you performed in your Mock Examinations? Throughout the test period, students often encounter four main types of mistakes, each of which can significantly impact their marks.
1. Silly mistakes – mostly caused by lack of attention to detail.
2. Conceptual errors – results due to the misunderstanding of the underlying concepts.
3. Improper time management strategy – effect of lacking the desired speed or due to the improper allocation of time to different sections or questions.
4. Forgotten portions of the syllabus – outcome of failure to recall previously learned material during the exam.
This post focuses on the fourth type of mistake. A student might have a strong understanding of a topic and may excel in solving related questions during study sessions. However, without consistent practice, they may struggle to recall that material during the exam.
The most effective solution to combat this issue is to maintain a comprehensive notebook. This notebook should include all essential formulas, pertinent tips (potentially provided by your teacher or tutor), and a collection of important and typical questions with their corresponding answers for every topic covered in the syllabus.
However, creating this resource is just the beginning. Merely having a well-organized notebook will not suffice unless you actively engage with its contents. It is essential to review your notebook regularly. Aim to go through each page at least once a week to reinforce your understanding and prevent forgetting crucial information.
By incorporating these strategies into your study routine, you can better retain and recall the material you have learned, ultimately improving your performance in the IB Math AA examination.
All the best for your studies and for your future.

Dear friends,
I hope this message finds you well. As you are aware, I serve as an online tutor for IBDP Mathematics. It has been a privilege to assist many students in their academic journeys.
However, I must address a few points regarding the requests I receive for tutoring assistance. Regrettably, there are occasions when I must decline requests due to certain constraints. The two primary reasons for my inability to accommodate these requests are as follows:
1. Time Availability: At times, there is a misalignment between the available time slots and the requested tutoring sessions or there is a complete unavailability of any vacant slot. Unfortunately, this discrepancy prevents me from accepting certain inquiries.
2. Specific Math Stream: I provide guidance to IB Math AA HL students only and I must clarify that I no longer provide tutoring assistance for the IGCSE, IB MYP, IB Math AA SL and IB Math AI SL/HL streams.
If you are a relatively new yet competent tutor from India, specializing in IB Math or IGCSE Math, and you are open to accepting new students, I kindly invite you to reach out to me via direct message (DM). Collaborating with like-minded professionals not only benefits us individually but also contributes to the academic success of our students.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
Best regards,
Nilanjana Sanyal.

Dear IB Math AA SL/HL Students,
By now, you have likely begun preparing for the upcoming August-September examinations. The key to your success lies in three words: Practice, Practice, and Practice. Start with the questions in your textbooks to solidify your understanding, then move on to actual IB past paper questions.
Keep a separate notebook for questions you couldn't solve on your first attempt. For each question, write down the correct solution along with your incorrect answer, and note why you struggled with it initially (in a red pen). Was it a calculation error or a misunderstanding of the concept? If it was a calculation error, did you input something incorrectly into your calculator? Document the specific mistake so you can avoid repeating it.
If the issue was due to a flawed reasoning process, record your incorrect thought process to help prevent similar errors in the future. Additionally, organize these questions by chapter. This will help you identify which chapters contain the most challenging questions for you. These areas are your weak points. Once identified, review the concepts in those chapters thoroughly and practice more questions related to them.
Happy learning!
Best regards,
Nilanjana Sanyal.

Dear IB Math AA SL/HL Students,
As the September examination approaches, it’s crucial to familiarize yourself with the formula booklet, which will be an essential tool during the exam. How you plan to use this booklet can significantly impact your performance. With just a few days left, take the time now to get to know your formula booklet inside and out to avoid wasting precious time searching for the right formula during the exam.
Here are two key steps to ensure you're confident with the necessary formulas:
Formulas Not in the Formula Booklet:
Identify the formulas that are essential but not included in the booklet. You will need to memorize these.
Formulas Present in the Formula Booklet:
a) For SL Students:
o Become well-acquainted with the specific page numbers where formulas for each SL syllabus topic—Number & Algebra, Functions, Geometry & Trigonometry, Probability & Statistics, and Calculus—are found.
b) For HL Students:
o Familiarize yourself with the page numbers where formulas common to both the SL and the HL streams for each topic—Number & Algebra, Functions, Geometry & Trigonometry, Probability & Statistics, and Calculus—are located.
o Identify the syllabus areas covered exclusively in the HL curriculum.
o Memorize the page numbers where HL-specific formulas can be found.
In summary, make sure you know the formulas not provided in the booklet and become thoroughly familiar with the booklet itself.
Wishing you all the best for your upcoming examination!

Dear Students,
Many of you get confused when differentiating expressions like 3x + 2. You know the derivative of a constant (like 2) is 0, but you might wonder about 3 in 3x. Some mistakenly think that since the derivative of a constant is 0, the entire term 3x becomes 0. This is incorrect.
The rule says the derivative of a constant is 0, not the derivative of every number. ‘Constants’ are stand-alone numbers (like 2 in 3x + 2), but ‘coefficients’ (like 3 in 3x) are numbers multiplied by variables. Coefficients remain unchanged during differentiation.
For example, in 3x, the derivative is calculated as follows:
• The derivative of x is 1.
• The coefficient 3 remains the same, so the derivative of 3x is 3 × 1 = 3.
To understand this better, think of 3x as x + x + x. The derivative of x is 1, so the derivative of x + x + x is 1 + 1 + 1 = 3.
Similarly, if you had an expression like 2 sin(x) cos(y), the number 2 is the coefficient and stays unchanged, while you differentiate the trigonometric functions based on their respective rules.
In summary: the derivative of a constant is 0, but coefficients are not constants on their own—they stay unchanged during differentiation.
Happy Learning!

Dear IB Math AA Finalists,
For those preparing for the May 2025 board examinations, your first mock exam is scheduled for January. This means it's time to kickstart your preparations in earnest. Consistent and focused practice is key to success, so start incorporating regular problem-solving into your routine.
This advice isn’t just for the finalists—it's equally important for all IB Math AA students. Regular practice is essential for building a strong foundation.
However, practice doesn’t mean simply reading through questions and their corresponding mark schemes. While this approach might make the solutions seem straightforward and obvious, solving problems in real time is often far more challenging. Even with the formula booklet at hand, you may find yourself stuck when attempting a question for the first time.
Here’s my suggestion:
Take the time to think deeply about each problem. Analyze it carefully and try to identify an appropriate method for solving it on your own. While this approach may feel slower and limit the number of questions you solve initially, it is far more effective in helping you grasp the concepts. Over time, this deliberate practice will strengthen your problem-solving skills, and you’ll find yourself solving questions on that topic with much greater ease.
Consistency and thoughtful effort will pay off. Start now, and you'll be well-prepared when the exams come around.
Wishing you all the best in your preparations!

Dear IBDP Finalists,
Wishing you all the very best for your upcoming examinations!
You’ve worked hard over the past two years of your IBDP journey, and you are well prepared for this final step. Believe in yourself, stay calm, and approach the exams with confidence. Remember to get a good night’s sleep before each paper, read every question carefully, and check your answers thoroughly—especially in your Math papers.
As an IB Math AA HL teacher, I'd like to offer a few final tips specific to the Mathematics exams:
Before and During the Exam:
1. Do not confuse inverse function notation with that of the first derivative notation of a function.
2. Remember, f^(n) (x) represents the n-th derivative of the function.
3. Memorize basic formulas—relying on the formula booklet for every small thing can waste time.
4. Be familiar with your formula booklet. Know the page numbers where each section’s formulas are located. HL students, especially, should know where the HL-specific formulas are.
Time Management:
5. Spend no more than 1 minute per mark. For instance, a 6-mark question should ideally take around 6 minutes.
6. If stuck, move on. Don’t spend more than half the time allotted for a question trying to figure it out. You can return to it later after completing the rest of the paper. This will save you some time for answering other questions.
7. You do not need to solve every question to get a Level 7. If you come across a difficult one (even a high-mark question), don’t panic—stay focused. Losing concentration often leads to unnecessary mistakes.
Answer Writing and Review:
8. Always check your answers before moving on to the next question—you may not get time later.
9. If you decide to revise an answer, don’t strike out the first version until you’ve completed the second one. You might still earn partial marks.
10. After writing the new solution, do strike out the old answer. If both answers are present, the examiner might consider the incorrect one.
Graphs:
11. When drawing graphs, make sure they stay within and cover the given domain and clearly show endpoints (label coordinates if possible).
Exam Strategy:
12. Avoid reading the entire paper at the start of the exam. It can waste valuable time and may shake your confidence if you encounter a tough question early on.
Stay composed, stay smart, and give it your best. You've got this!
Warm regards,
Nilanjana Sanyal.

Dear IBDP May 2025 Finalists,
Congratulations on reaching the end of your examinations! (Though I understand that in some countries, Paper 3 may still be ongoing.)
This year’s session has certainly come with its share of challenges. There’s been some frustration, especially regarding the Physics, Spanish, and most notably, the Math papers. Many students found Math AA HL Papers 1 and 2 particularly difficult. However, the good news is that Paper 3 was more approachable for most, and it could significantly boost your overall grade. For those who were uncertain about securing a Level 6, Paper 3 might just make that possible.
To those considering a retake in the November 2025 session: please think it through carefully. Retaking an exam always carries an element of risk. There's no guarantee that the November paper will be easier or more favorable than the one you just attempted. Moreover, once you opt to retake, your May exam results for that paper will be cancelled and replaced with the November result, regardless of performance.
Make your decision with full awareness and confidence—and remember, your efforts so far have already taken you a long way. Wishing you all the best as you await your results!
Warm regards,
Nilanjana Sanyal

Dear Parents of IBDP Beginners,
Mathematics is a compulsory component of the IBDP curriculum. Many students who aspire to pursue STEM-related fields often consider choosing IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches (AA) at the Higher Level (HL). However, it’s important to understand that STEM is a broad area of study, encompassing a wide variety of courses. Even within engineering alone, there are numerous specializations, and a vast number of universities around the world offer these programs.
While it’s true that top-tier universities in the UK and US often require a Level 7—or at least a Level 6—in AA HL, it is equally true that many other reputable institutions accept a Level 7 in Applications and Interpretation (AI) HL. Therefore, choosing the right Math course should not be based solely on ambition, but also on a realistic understanding of your child’s strengths in Mathematics.
If your child has received a Grade B in IGCSE Mathematics, it is wise to think carefully before selecting AA HL. The jump from IGCSE Extended Mathematics to IBDP Math AA HL is significant, and students need to be well-prepared for the challenges it presents. This is not meant to discourage anyone, but rather to present the facts clearly. In my view, achieving a Level 7 in AI HL is more advantageous than receiving a Level 5 in AA HL—especially when applying to universities. But this does not imply that Level 5 students do not have any hope. With a Level 5 in AA HL, you may still have the opportunity to pursue a STEM-related field at selected universities around the world.
Make your decision thoughtfully, keeping your child’s academic strengths and long-term goals in mind.
Wishing your children every success in their IBDP journey and beyond!
Warm regards,
Nilanjana Sanyal.
