Pre-IB Summer Maths Revision Courses
About the course
There are two pre-IB maths courses, one for current Year 11 students wishing to study HL Analysis and Approaches and one for current Year 11 students wishing to study HL Applications and Interpretations. Both will cover similar material; however, the mathematical approach will differ depending on the course. Students are advised to have a GDC to help them best prepare and get the most out of these courses.
These courses are not aimed at students who have already completed an Additional Maths course.
Classes start at 09:00 on each course day and conclude at 16:15 on the first day of the course. There is an hour for lunch (provided as part of the cost) in the middle of each day, as well as morning and afternoon breaks.
The syllabus of the Pre-IB Maths Analysis Course and the Pre-IB Maths Applications covers similar topics. However, the teaching and learning approach is different.
You should choose one 3-day Pre-IB Maths Analysis Course OR one 3-day Pre-IB Maths Applications Course.
