What is in the pack
- Mock A and Mock B, each a full Paper 1 and Paper 2 at exam length
- A mark by mark scheme for every question, with M marks and A marks shown
- The usual mistake on every question, so you know what to check
- Your GDC is allowed in both papers, as in the real exam, so the pack expects you to use it well: regression, solving equations and the normal distribution.
How the mark scheme helps
M marks reward a correct method, even if the arithmetic slips. A marks reward the correct value, once the method mark is earned. Many lost marks in AI SL come from answers with no method shown, from rounding too early, and from giving too few significant figures. The scheme shows exactly where each mark is won or lost.
Every question in the pack names its usual mistake beside the mark scheme.
An 8 week plan to the January mocks
- Weeks 1 to 4: revise topic by topic, one topic a week, using the lessons for your course.
- Week 5: sit Mock A, Paper 1 and Paper 2 on separate days, timed. Mark both with the scheme.
- Week 6: revise your two weakest topics from Mock A.
- Week 7: sit Mock B, timed, and mark it.
- Week 8: redo every question where you lost marks, and read its usual mistake again.

Questions
How long are the AI SL papers?
Paper 1 and Paper 2 are each 90 minutes and 80 marks, and each mock in the pack matches that length.
Is this official IB material?
No. The questions are written by KS Maths in the style of the exam. KS Maths is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the International Baccalaureate.
When should I sit the mocks?
Many schools run IB mocks in January or February. Sit Mock A after a few weeks of topic revision, and keep Mock B for the last two weeks, timed.
Is AI SL the right pack for me?
Your GDC is allowed in both papers, as in the real exam, so the pack expects you to use it well: regression, solving equations and the normal distribution. If you take AA SL, use the AA SL pack instead.
What do I get after paying?
