Free IB Maths baseline tests
Eight free baseline tests for the IB Diploma: Analysis and Approaches and Applications and Interpretation, SL and HL, at the start of DP1 (the GCSE / MYP maths each course builds on) and at the start of DP2 (the DP1 content).
Twenty four-option questions, about 40 minutes, calculator allowed, marked as soon as you finish. The DP1 tests check the GCSE or MYP maths your course assumes, so gaps are fixed before the first unit; the DP2 tests check the DP1 content before the IA and the mocks. Every topic comes back as secure, developing or a gap.
Choose a test
- IB Maths AA SL: start of DP1 baseline
the GCSE / MYP maths an AA SL course builds on: number, algebra, graphs, geometry and trigonometry, statistics and probability - IB Maths AA HL: start of DP1 baseline
the GCSE / MYP maths an AA HL course builds on, with more demanding algebra: number, algebra, graphs, geometry and trigonometry, statistics and probability - IB Maths AI SL: start of DP1 baseline
the GCSE / MYP maths an AI SL course builds on, with more number, percentages and data: number, algebra, graphs, measurement, statistics and probability - IB Maths AI HL: start of DP1 baseline
the GCSE / MYP maths an AI HL course builds on: number and finance, algebra, graphs, measurement in 2D and 3D, statistics and probability - IB Maths AA SL: start of DP2 baseline
the AA SL content usually taught in DP1: sequences, exponents and logarithms, the binomial theorem, functions, trigonometry, statistics and probability, and introductory calculus - IB Maths AA HL: start of DP2 baseline
the AA HL content usually taught in DP1: series, logarithms, the binomial theorem, complex numbers, polynomials, functions, trigonometry, vectors, probability and calculus - IB Maths AI SL: start of DP2 baseline
the AI SL content usually taught in DP1: number and finance, sequences, linear, quadratic and exponential models, trigonometry, statistics, probability and introductory calculus - IB Maths AI HL: start of DP2 baseline
the AI HL content usually taught in DP1: finance, complex numbers, matrices, models, 3D geometry, vectors, statistics, probability distributions and calculus
For teachers
Set the AA or AI test that matches the class from the class page, in the first weeks of DP1 or DP2: online, or on paper with a one-page answer sheet read from a photo. When everyone has finished, release the results to see each student's gaps and the topics the class should revisit first. It works with a free class.
Questions
Which IB test should I take?
The one for the course you are starting or continuing: AA or AI, at SL or HL. At the start of DP1 the test covers the GCSE / MYP maths that course builds on; at the start of DP2 it covers what your course usually teaches in DP1.
Can I use my GDC?
Yes: a calculator is allowed in every IB baseline test. In the real exams only AA Paper 1 is without one.
Does it predict my IB grade?
No. It shows where you are starting from, topic by topic, with the common mistake behind each wrong answer and where to practise. For a grade estimate, use a full past or mock paper later in the course.
