IB Math AA HL Predicted Papers for November 2026

If you sit IB Math Analysis & Approaches HL this November, you already know it is the most demanding route on the Diploma: a non-calculator Paper 1 that rewards clean algebra and proof, a calculator Paper 2, and a Paper 3 that drops you into two long, unfamiliar problem-solving questions. Our AA HL predicted papers let you rehearse exactly that — six complete sets, in real IB style, before you sit the real thing.

Here is what is in the AA HL sets, why AA needs papers written for its proof-and-calculus style (not adapted from AI), and how our team — led by Mr Ejaz — builds them from the data rather than guesswork.

What you get for AA HL

• Six full sets, each containing Paper 1 (non-calculator, 110 marks), Paper 2 (calculator / GDC, 110 marks) and Paper 3 (two extended problem-solving questions, 55 marks) — mirroring the real exam exactly, including the non-calculator Paper 1.
• A full worked mark scheme for every question, with method marks shown the way an examiner awards them — not just the final answer.
• Set 1 is free — a complete set, no card, so you can judge the quality first.
• The remaining five sets unlock with a one-time US$100 for AA HL. (AA SL is a separate unlock.)

AA HL is its own exam — so the papers are built for AA

AA predicted papers cannot just be AI papers with the context stripped out. Analysis & Approaches is abstract, algebraic and calculus-heavy, and half of it is examined without a calculator:

• Proof — induction, proof by contradiction, and disproof by counterexample.
• Complex numbers — modulus–argument form, De Moivre’s theorem and roots of unity.
• Calculus in depth — implicit differentiation and related rates, integration by substitution and by parts, volumes of revolution, differential equations and the Maclaurin series.
• Vectors — lines and planes in three dimensions, intersections and distances.

A non-calculator Paper 1 means the algebra has to be clean by hand — exactly what our Paper 1 sets drill. If you are still choosing your route, our AA vs AI guide lays out the difference.

Where the marks actually live — AA HL

We tagged the full AA HL question bank by topic, paper and mark. The exam is lopsided, and knowing where tells you where to practise. Calculus is the single heaviest strand — it anchors both Paper 1 and Paper 2 — followed by Functions & Equations, Trigonometry, Complex Numbers & Proof, Sequences & Series (the binomial theorem and Maclaurin), Vectors, and Probability & Statistics. Our AA HL paper analysis has the full mark-by-mark breakdown, and the sets are weighted to match it.

How we build the predictions

1. We read every recent AA HL paper

We tagged every AA HL Paper 1, 2 and 3 question from 2021 to 2025 by topic and mark allocation to produce a marks-weighted map of what the exam rewards — then designed each set so the full syllabus is swept across the six.

2. We forecast November, not an average exam

November papers do not behave like May. The big questions that anchor a May Paper 2 tend to anchor November too, so we forecast each slot from the recurring heavyweight topics rather than blending sessions into a mush.

3. We check against the real exams

When the May 2026 papers were released we scored our method against them. That feedback loop is why these are predictions with a track record. For the official framework, the IB publishes its own Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches outline.

4. We write like the IB — including clean diagrams

Every question is original, in exact IB wording and difficulty, with mark schemes that show each method mark. Graphs, Argand diagrams, 3D vector sketches and calculus area/volume figures are drawn to match the look of the real papers.

Two ways to use them

Self-study — US$100. Sit each paper under timed conditions and mark it against the worked scheme. Set 1 is free; all six AA HL sets are a one-time US$100. (AA SL is a separate unlock.)

AI self-marking — US$299 (coming soon). Upload a photo or PDF of your working and get it graded against our scheme: a clear score, where the marks slipped, and what to fix — the feedback a tutor gives on a mock, the moment you finish.

You can also drill topic-by-topic in the Learning Studio, prepare Paper 3 with our Paper 3 guide, or work through it with IB Math tuition or the Nov 2026 crash course. Start with the free Set 1 and see whether it feels like the real thing.
