Updated October 2026: Platinum is no longer sold. IB Maths Pro includes 4 AI IA reviews a year. If you are still on Platinum, you keep what you paid for.
What it does
You upload your IA draft or paste the text. The review marks it twice, separately, against the five criteria (A Presentation, B Mathematical communication, C Personal engagement, D Reflection, E Use of mathematics). For each criterion you get:
- the band, with our own plain-English summary of what that band looks like
- the sentences from your draft that earned or cost marks, highlighted in your text
- one thing that is working, backed by a quote from your draft
- exactly two next steps, the most useful first
Then an overall comment of three or four sentences: your main strength, the one thing to fix first, and a realistic next target. Every review is saved as a version in your draft history, so you can see how each criterion moves between drafts.
Why the marks err low
A mark that is too generous is worse than no mark: you stop working on the IA too early. So the review is deliberately cautious.
- It only gives a band when quotes from your draft show it. If the evidence is partial or unclear, it gives the lower band.
- Every quote is checked against your draft. A band above 1 needs two different quotes that are really there.
- When the two marking passes disagree, the lower band stands. A third check can raise it only by quoting evidence from your draft, and never above the higher pass.
- The total is shown as a range, lower figure first, for example "likely 11–13 / 20", with the reminder that your teacher and the IB moderate the final mark, and moderation often lowers marks.
We test it on eight sample drafts of our own with known marks. In the latest tests its totals came out about one mark under on average, out of 20, which is where we want them.
A report for your teacher
You can download a two-page A4 PDF of any review: the band for each criterion with a quote and the two next steps, the overall comment, and boxes for your teacher's own mark and comment. It never includes your draft text. Your name and candidate code are optional and only printed on the PDF. Your teacher can download it from the class IA tracker only if you tick the box that allows it.
What you can upload
- PDF up to 15 MB. The marker sees your graphs in PDFs up to 10 MB, and scanned PDFs work too.
- Word (.docx) up to 15 MB. Equations, tables and footnotes are read; pictures are not, and you are told so.
- Plain text, uploaded or pasted.
What it can't do
- Promise a mark. Your teacher marks your IA and the IB moderates it. Treat every band here as an estimate.
- Write your IA. It never writes or rewrites any part of your exploration, and it refuses if asked. Submitting AI-written text as your own is academic misconduct.
- Replace a person. Whether your personal engagement reads as genuine, or whether the maths answers the question you set, is still a human judgement. For that there is the One-to-one IA Review with Pete, a former Head of Maths with IB examining experience: €100 for written feedback with priority turnaround and a 20-minute video call.
How to get reviews
- Free: every free account gets one Criterion A check a year, so you can see how it works on your own draft.
- One review, €5: the credit is only used if the review completes.
- IB Maths Pro: 4 reviews in every rolling 12 months, included with Pro (€12 a month or €99 a year). Extra reviews are €5 each. What IB Pro includes.
- The IA package, €39 once: 5 review credits and the full annotated exemplars, for 12 months, with no subscription.
One-off purchases, review credits included, have the same 14-day money-back guarantee as the plans (refund policy). A good rhythm is one review when the draft is about 60% done, another near the end, and a last one before your teacher's draft deadline.
Academic honesty
By using the review you confirm the IA is your own work. Make any changes in your own words and acknowledge that you used AI feedback, as your school requires; the review page can generate a short acknowledgement for you. See our academic-honesty terms.
AI feedback on your IB Maths IA draft: a cautious band per criterion, quotes from your own draft, two next steps each and a PDF report for your teacher.
