IB Mathematics AA SL is a distinct Diploma Programme course and assessment level. Keep your preparation matched to SL, your examination session and your school’s subject guide. SL combines written examinations and an internally assessed mathematical exploration.
This page concerns the course assessed through November 2028; the revised mathematics courses first assess in 2029. Official examination information and the current syllabus take priority. AskSia is an independent study tool.
AA rewards a chain of justified mathematics. Do not replace a proof or an exact expression with a calculator output when the task asks for reasoning.
These are study priorities and examples, not published assessment weightings. Use your own syllabus, paper requirements and recent attempts to decide where to spend the next session.

Compare tangent and normal gradients, correct the sign, and solve a new example before returning to the original.
Start with a tangent-and-normal problem where the reciprocal slope loses its minus sign. After discussing it, attempt another example independently.

For y = x², find the equation of the normal at the point where x = 2.
Try the task before opening the explanation. Then compare each step with your own reasoning.

May session — 2027; check subject and time zone — Your IB school / examination centre. November session — 2027; confirm school entry — Your IB school / examination centre. Ask your IB coordinator about examination and school charges for your subject entry and session. There is no single school-inclusive fee that applies to every candidate. Retakes and registration changes may have separate charges. Confirm the amount with your school before entering. IB subject grades are reported from 1 to 7. A subject grade is not a total Diploma score. Check your official candidate account or school instructions for final arrangements.
Different examinations can share concepts while using different assessment requirements. Keep each route clear.
