- HL covers extra content and an extra paper, so make sure your notes match your level.
- The internal assessment counts towards your final grade, so plan it alongside your content revision.

What good Maths AI notes look like
- GDC skills in your notes. Maths AI relies heavily on the graphing calculator, so note the calculator steps for each technique.
- Modelling language. Learn how to interpret results in context, because AI questions reward interpretation, not just calculation.
- Statistics depth. Statistics and probability carry a lot of weight in AI; keep worked examples for each test.
How to revise with free notes
- Start from the subject guide. Tick off each topic as you finish its notes, at your level.
- Read, then close the notes. Write down what you remember, then check the gaps.
- Practise questions. Use past-paper-style questions for each topic, then full timed papers closer to the exam.
- Mark with markschemes. Add missing key terms and steps to your notes.
- Protect IA time. Schedule internal assessment work so it doesn’t crowd out revision.
Common mistakes
- Not practising calculator workflows under time pressure
- Answering without interpreting results in context
- Leaving the exploration until DP2

Frequently asked questions
Where can I get free IB Maths AI notes? +
The Tutopiya Learning Portal has free IB DP Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation notes for SL and HL, organised by topic and linked on this page. Your school's subject guide and specimen papers are the other essential free source.
Is IB Maths AI easier than AA? +
Not necessarily. AI focuses on modelling, statistics and technology, while AA focuses on algebra and calculus. Choose based on your strengths and the degree you plan to study, since some programmes prefer AA HL.
Are free notes enough for a 7 in IB Maths AI? +
Rarely on their own. Use notes to learn the content, practise with past-paper-style questions and markschemes, and plan the internal assessment early.
