PreIB Bridging Programme · 2026 summer offer closed

Worried about starting the IB?

Most students walk into DP1 Maths in September feeling behind before they've begun. The IB assumes you've already mastered a chunk of your GCSE / iGCSE / MYP5 content — and it doesn't stop to reteach it. The 6-week PreIB Bridging Programme covers it — worked examples, practice questions, end-of-week self-marked assessments and a live IB-readiness bar.

The €20 summer offer closed on 28 August 2026. Starting DP1 now? Unit 0 is free and covers the same skills.

Want to be prepared for success?

The PreIB Bridging Programme tackles the four most common gaps DP1 students report in their first month.

1

Algebra you thought you knew

Quadratics, indices, straight lines. In DP1 they come at speed with no revision. Get fluent now.

2

Your CG50 is a black box

SL AI and HL AI students, this is you. Learn every menu you'll use before you're graded on it.

3

Problem-solving under time

The IB rewards mathematical thinking, not memorised methods. Practise the mindset now.

4

Written maths & notation

IB expects a specific style of workings — set out logically, with justified steps. You'll get feedback on yours.

Who is the PreIB Bridging Programme for?

Students starting the IB Diploma in September who want to arrive fluent in the pre-IB skills their DP1 Maths teacher will assume they already have. Works whether you're taking SL AI, SL AA, HL AI or HL AA. It runs across all 4 streams.

How much does the PreIB Bridging Programme cost?

The €20 summer offer for 2026 closed on 28 August 2026, so it isn't on sale now. Starting DP1? Unit 0 is free and covers the same pre-IB skills. Schools get PreIB with a Pro or Platinum school licence.

Which PreIB stream should I choose?

Take the 15-second router quiz at the top of the page — three quick questions on your preferences, target university subject and algebra confidence route you to the best-fit stream. You can still browse all four afterwards.

What's inside the Bridging Programme for each stream?

~144 items per stream (worked examples + practice + 4-question weekly assessment) across 6 weeks, plus a warm-up library of ~100 exam-style questions, ~80 flashcards and 3 diagnostic tests.

Is any of it free?

Yes — the first 5 questions of any stream are free, and Unit 0 is free for everyone.

Is there a difference between AI and AA?

AI (Applications & Interpretation) leans on the Casio CG50 calculator, real-world modelling and statistics. AA (Analysis & Approaches) focuses on algebraic fluency, exact-form answers and analytical techniques. PreIB gives you a stream-tailored version of both.
