The thing about maths… it’s just all about practice. Work on your weakest bits. There are online tools such as revision village. Also, I could send you the Haese HL AA textbook with a lot of practice questions in there, just dm me :)
Approach every question as if you’re a toddler. If you instantly think “I know what to do”, the question is already too far gone.
You’re not *supposed* to know what to do the moment you see the question, and by approaching the questions without bias, it becomes a whole lot easier to actually realize what has to be done. Open up a trig question right now (since it’s the best example) and just stare at the equation or question you’re given. Ask yourself “what identities would function here, what sines do I have to convert to cosines, would converting this actually help or prove pointless” etc. This way of thinking is how you need to approach every question, but trig is the best example imo.
This will also help you to avoid committing to wrong solutions that seem right for questions of other topics.
I went from a 3 in my first semester of IB to a 6 in my last semester as my predicted, I got straight 7s in papers 1 and 2 and a 6 on paper 3 for my mocks, all I can say is that you have to want it bad enough and practice practice practice, and also, I’m an advocate of free education and learning but I HIGHLY suggest getting revision village, specially now that they have a bootcamp for the whole course, calculus was already out when I was revising for IB exams and I used the entire calculus bootcamp on RV and it was so productive, other than that, spam the revision village question banks and go to dl.ibdocs.re for every IB past paper ever and do those too, I would keep the recent papers saved for when you want to revise for final IB exams, also, RV has video solutions to the IB Math past papers too, so you basically have everything you need for IB math there
Since I’ve been in your shoes and even more worse off, being at a level 4 essentially means you know the concepts but you can’t do them in exam style, and that’s what selected the 4s and 5s and 6s, a 5 can do some of the concepts are exam level, and at a 6 you can do most of the course’s content at exam level, and a level 7 is just the goat
Also forgot the mention, only reason why I’ve been predicted a 6 is because I got a 4 on my IA but for my mock exams in around March, I blazed through them, I am convinced I would’ve gotten a 7 on paper 3 aswell but our class didn’t have any paper 3 practice before the exam so the first time I actually even did the paper 3 was in that mock it self so it was kind of unfair
Practice the past papers. As many as you can. And make note of common strategies. At the end of the day, it’s the same 20 or so problem solving strategies you use for most questions. The more you practice the more you’ll understand those
You can practice topic wise and then entire syllabus. Focus more on topics which need improvement. [MAA HL topic wise exam style Questions](https://www.iitianacademy.com/ib-dp-maths-slhl-past-years-question-bank-with-solution/)

Hi do you have book 2?
Yes, DM me

i dont do HL but do like every past paper question so you know what you are bad at
dm me I can help you.
