Title: Mathematics, Math Studies
Post by: jakolu on April 20, 2010, 01:33:11 pm

To the editors of freeexampapers.com.   Since Mathematics and Mathematical Studies are two seperate IB courses shouldn't they be put into different sections?  (Right now they are both in "IB>Maths>Standard").  It's just a bit confusing!

Mathematics is standard level while Math studies is a separate, more basic course.
Kinda like French HL, SL and AB (beginner), there is Math HL, SL and Math Studies.
