How to use them
- Sit it 30 days out. Book a slot soon after your paper opens: a month leaves time to fix what it shows up.
- Exam conditions, timed. Full time, the right calculator rule, the formula booklet and nothing else. Stop when the time is up.
- Mark it with the markscheme. Line by line: method, accuracy and reasoning marks, follow-through where it applies.
- Review, then fix. List every lost mark by topic, practise those topics, and redo the questions a week later.

What a prediction paper is (and is not)
These are original papers written by IB Math Revision. Nobody outside the IB knows what will be on the real papers, and we do not claim to: there is no leaked, official or insider content here, and no question is copied or adapted from an IB past paper. Our prediction is the weighting: each paper covers the whole syllabus in the proportions the IB guide sets, leaning towards topics that have not been examined in recent sessions.
Every answer was solved a second time, independently, and every paper was then checked by a second solver, who worked each question from the question alone and compared the markscheme mark by mark. The verification logs are kept with the papers. Spotted a slip? Tell us.
Final 6 Weeks: your final prediction set
Final set opens Thursday 29 April 2027 (IB Maths, May 2027)
A free six-week plan counted back from your first paper, ending with a final set of timed papers. Each paper opens only once it is checked.
Start the free planNovember 2026 Prediction Papers: questions
When do the November 2026 Prediction Papers open?
Each paper opens at 00:00 UTC, 30 days before it is sat: Paper 1 (all four courses) on Saturday 10 October, Paper 2 (all four courses) on Sunday 11 October and Paper 3 (HL) on Wednesday 14 October, 2026.
Are these real IB papers?
No. They are original papers written by IB Math Revision in the IB style. They are our prediction: not official, not leaked and not approved by the IB, and no question is copied or adapted from an IB paper.
Who can open them?
Anyone with IB Pro, the free 7-day trial or a school licence, from each paper's opening date. Paper 1 of each course is a free sample: its first section opens for everyone with the markscheme, and a free account (no card) opens the whole paper. Without a plan you can still see every paper's format, marks and opening date on this page.
What comes with each paper?
The full paper, a full markscheme with M, A, R and AG marks and follow-through notes, and a worked solution for every question.
How were they checked?
Every answer was worked by the author and solved again independently in code, and every paper was then checked by a second solver, who worked each question from the question alone and compared the markscheme mark by mark.
How long is each paper?
SL Papers 1 and 2: 90 minutes, 80 marks. HL Papers 1 and 2: 120 minutes, 110 marks. HL Paper 3: 75 minutes, 55 marks. AA Paper 1 is non-calculator; every other paper needs a graphic display calculator.
How should I use them?
Sit each paper about 30 days before your exam, timed and under exam conditions. Mark it line by line with the markscheme, list the marks you lost by topic, practise those topics and redo the questions a week later.
Are they different from the May 2027 papers?
Yes. The November 2026 set is a separate set of ten papers, and none of its questions repeats a May 2027 question.
