WORKED SOLUTIONS AND MARKSCHEMES FOR THE PRACTICE EXAM PAPERS

Here are the worked solutions and markschemes for the practice exam papers
from IB Prepared MAA.
These worked solutions are in a format that is similar to an IB markscheme.
It shows how marks are to be gained in the different parts of a question.
Examiners use annotations when marking and some of their abbreviations are
shown here: M1 indicates a Method Mark, A1 an Achievement Mark and R1 a
Reasoning Mark. If a mark is shown in brackets, e.g., (M1), it implies that the
mark can be given even if the method has not been shown but is implied by
subsequent student working. The abbreviation AG indicates “As Given” and
is used at the end of a “show that …” problem. This means no marks would be
given for this line and examiners know that they have to check the student’s
work carefully here, to see that the student has not just written down the
required answer.
