IBDP Maths Made Foolproof — Annotated Formula Booklet & Strategy Guide
Stop losing marks on tiny mistakes. Use our notes, traps, and exam hacks built specifically for AA & AI, SL & HL — so you walk into May 2026 confident and prepared.
What's Inside Your Formula Booklet & Strategy Guide
Every page is built from real IB markschemes and examiner reports — designed to plug the exact gaps where students lose marks.
Annotated Formula Booklet
Every official formula explained in plain English — side notes, domain warnings, and those tiny "+C" reminders you always forget. Like having a teacher whisper in your ear during the exam.
Common Traps & Quick Checks
We've flagged every classic blunder: forgetting ± in logs, mixing up sin/cos integrals, using the wrong probability formula. Each page has a "TRAP!" box so you don't walk into the same minefield.
Exam Strategy & Command Terms
What does "Hence" really mean? How many marks for the right method? Our Strategy Guide decodes IB command terms and shows you exactly how to earn partial marks even when your final answer is wrong.
Method‑Mark Worked Examples
Worked examples straight from markschemes: see how a correct setup (M1) is rewarded, and why showing your working is worth more than a lucky guess. Stop leaving easy marks on the table.

What Students & Parents Say
Real feedback from IB students and parents across 42+ countries who used our guides to boost their maths scores.
The formula booklet saved me so many silly marks. The 'TRAP!' boxes caught exactly the mistakes I used to make — especially the ± signs in quadratics and forgetting domain restrictions. Genuinely felt like my teacher annotated the booklet just for me.
My daughter went from a 4 to a 6 in AA HL after using the strategy guide. The command term explanations were a game‑changer — she finally understood the difference between 'show that' and 'hence' and stopped losing marks on Paper 2 long questions.
I finally understood what IB examiners actually wanted. The worked examples with method marks made it crystal clear — I realised I'd been throwing away 3–4 marks per paper just by not showing my working properly. This guide fixed that completely.
Worth every penny. Both PDFs are crisp, easy to print, and the reminders are spot on. I keep the formula booklet open during every practice paper now — the side notes make revision twice as fast. My predicted went from 5 to 7.
I was panicking about AA SL with only three months left. The annotated formula booklet broke everything down so clearly — no fluff, just exactly what I needed for the exam. The quick-check boxes at the end of each topic saved me in my mocks.
