Syllabus: IB(HL) Questions: 7 Time: 1 hour 5 minutes Total Marks: 54
This paper contains a set of questions followed by the corresponding mark schemes. The time you
should spend on each question together with its worth in marks is also given. The content of this
paper is based on material from a wide selection of national and international examination boards
and organisations.
You are advised to have:
a set of geometrical equipment, pen, HB pencil, eraser. Check if you are allowed a calculator.
Some examinations, but not all, allow calculators, including graphical models.
NOTES: The following browsers have been tested with this facility: Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.
Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) was tested on versions 9 to 11 IE8 and earlier are no longer officially supported by MathsNet.
The latest versions of Google Chrome have a customised print preview which allows you to easily adjust the margins and whether or not
headings are printed. Best results are when the background printing of images and colours is enabled (not available in Chrome).
Many of the questions use the jsMath applet. This requires special fonts to be installed for successful printing. These fonts can be
