Avoid Common Mistakes in Math AA IAs

Incorporating irrelevant or unnecessary calculations, graphs, or descriptions that detract from the overall conciseness of the work.

Relying heavily on textbook examples or reproducing readily available mathematics without demonstrating personal engagement or original thought.

Demonstrating a lack of thorough knowledge and understanding of the mathematics explored, which is evident through incorrect or incomplete calculations.

Using inappropriate or inconsistent mathematical notation and terminology, which hinders effective communication of mathematical ideas.

Using overly complicated mathematics when simpler approaches would suffice, which can obscure understanding and relevance.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Coursework Grader gives you instant feedback on your IB coursework (IA, EE, or TOK). It is designed as a detailed grader trained with input from real IB examiners.

Choose your coursework type and details (subject, level, and session where relevant), upload your PDF, then submit for grading. Once processing starts, you will see a progress screen while your Coursework Grader report is generated.

Yes. Your file stays private and secure on Clastify. It is not shared or published, and uploading it will not trigger plagiarism checkers.

The Coursework Grader assesses your coursework against official IB criteria for the selected subject and category (IA, EE, or TOK). You receive criterion-by-criterion feedback, a predicted mark, and concrete suggestions for improvement.

The model is trained on examiner-marked IB exemplars and aligned with current assessment criteria. It is a strong draft-stage tool, but a human examiner review remains the best option for a final-grade prediction.

A clear mathematical aim, Analysis and Approaches–appropriate techniques, coherent communication, and personal engagement through method choices or extensions.

Poorly—technology can support exploration, but you must show understanding of the underlying mathematics.

Yes—correct maths with undefined variables or unclear sequencing often loses Communication predictions.
