chloeolut Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 I've never really been a math person all of my life, and unfortunately my school doesn't offer math studies. I'm struggling with the course, because last year, I did not get prepared well for this SL course at all. Do you guys know any resources or practice books I can use to improve significantly?Dont't mention Khan Academy because I already watch his videos in order to get the hang of the basics!...

kevG Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 The only advice I can offer you is to get a tutor and practice as much past papers as you can. 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simtiaz Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Buy the Schaum's Outlines for the topics you struggle in the most - I used them for a while in my pre-IB courses and they helped a lot! Go on Amazon or another similar site and find books that help study for maths SL, but not ones where you work all the problems yourself with an answer key - get the ones that have worked out problems so that you can follow along. Honestly a tutor may or may not help, I had 3 or 4 and none of them brought my grade up. What helped me through maths when I was struggling was the worked problems as well as just going in the SL book and working out the problems in there over and over again. I was orginially in HL so sometimes I will go and find the current topic for my SL class in the HL book and see how the explanation differs. tl;dr: find some books with worked out problems and just practice Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
