Choosing
Which book do I need?
- Maths AA or AI? Pick the book for the course you are registered for. Analysis and Approaches leans on algebra and proof; Applications and Interpretation leans on modelling, statistics and the calculator.
- HL or SL? The HL books are in two volumes because the course is longer. Volume 1 covers the first three units; Volume 2 the last two plus exam preparation.
- Paper 3 is only sat at HL. The Paper 3 guidebook serves both AA HL and AI HL and goes deeper than the Paper 3 chapter inside the HL course books.
- Physics is one book for both SL and HL on the current course.
