FAQs Section
What is the difference between HL and SL in IB Math: Analysis & Approaches?
HL (Higher Level) and SL (Standard Level) courses differ in complexity, depth, and the breadth of topics covered. HL includes more advanced topics and additional content, which is reflected in the grading thresholds.
How is the IB Math AA exam scored?
IB Math AA exams are scored based on your performance on two papers for SL and three for HL. Paper 1 and Paper 2 are both non-calculator and calculator papers respectively, and Paper 3 (HL only) focuses on more complex, investigational problems.
Are there any grade boundaries adjustments?
Yes! Grade boundaries are adjusted each exam session to account for the difficulty level of the exams. This ensures fairness in the grading process across different exam sessions.
