Honestly, that exam felt really unfair. The layout was the same, but the types of questions were way more complicated and unexpected compared to past papers. A lot of us were thrown off, even after practicing properly. It wasn’t that we didn’t study the paper just didn’t reflect what we were prepared for. On top of that, the time pressure made it almost impossible to show proper working or think clearly. That’s not how we should be assessed, and the grade boundaries need to account for that. And I know a lot of my friends, no matter which math they took SL,HL,AI or AA everyone felt the same.
As someone who isnt the best at maths, but still can get some points here and there, the paper was impossible for me. I study using past papers to learn how to do questions that the IB tends to repeat. Unfortunately for me, the questions this year looked nothing like past papers, and frankly im not sure i learned any of it in class. Several students in my class have 7 everywhere, and they came out of the exams saying they failed it. Theres obviously an issue if even the best students flunk the exams.
I'm a student of the subject MAI SL, and today I have take the TZB exam. Honestly, I think they have made the exam very complicated, since compared to the exams we have available to practice from 2021 plus the specimen papers, it is not even close to what we students have had to face today!. I don't know if this is due to last year's leaks, but if it's because of this, I neither understand why the M25 students would have to suffer these consequences for a past situation and convocatory.
Obviously, I would like to convey to the IB team that this generates a lot of frustration for us, because we have worked very hard during the two years of the Diploma course and have been able to cope with the pressure and the work that this entails, for an exam of this difficulty, never seen before, to have to define our grade and, for some, their future.
In addition, I would like to point out that exercise 11 of the MAI SL exam of TzB had three sections and two of them had to be done with vectors, which were not seen in the syllabus. Please take the necessary measures, we just want a solution. This is serious for IB students.

As someone who consistently scores well in this subject, the paper 1 for AA SL was unnecessarily difficult. I am aware that difficult questions need to be given in order to separate the high scorers from the rest. However, in my point of view, it was not the difficulty levels that were the issue. It was time. The test was poorly designed in terms of time allocated per question. It is not possible for students to attempt all questions in this exam under the given time conditions without skipping over/rushing them. I believe that the IB should test students on their mathematical knowledge, and not how well they manage their time under pressure.
It honestly does not make sense to keep diploma exams if students are already taking full-year courses. Teachers evaluate us over months through assignments, tests, labs, and projects, which gives a much more accurate picture of our understanding than one high-stakes exam. Diplomas add unnecessary stress, and one bad day can significantly impact a student’s grade and future opportunities. If full-year assessments already measure learning effectively, diploma exams are redundant and should be cancelled.
The Way Home has been such a wonderful show that brings generations of viewers together. My daughter and I love watching it and can’t wait to discuss all the details with fellow ponderers on the various social outlets. This has been such a fun show to watch and engage with, please don’t cut it short by cancelling it. There are very few shows that have the ability to bridge generations the way this one has succeeded in doing.
