ข้อกำหนดเครื่องคิดเลข
A graphic display calculator (GDC) from the IB-approved list is required for most Mathematics and Sciences papers and must be set to examination mode. Note that some papers do not permit a calculator (for example Mathematics Paper 1 and the multiple-choice Sciences Paper 1).
AO1: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of chemical facts, concepts, and terminology (40%)
AO2: Apply and use chemical facts, concepts, and methodologies to solve quantitative problems (35%)
AO3: Formulate, analyze, and evaluate chemical hypotheses, experimental data, and methodologies (25%)
วัตถุประสงค์: Plot a function to read its roots (zeros), points of intersection, and maxima/minima.
ใช้เมื่อใด: Checking solutions, sketching, or solving where an analytic method is hard.
ขั้นตอน
Graph the function(s) and use the built-in zero, intersect and maximum/minimum tools.
ข้อควรระวังในการสอบ: Use a GDC from the IB-approved list in examination mode. Some papers do not permit a calculator. Always show your reasoning.
Numerical equation solver
Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)
วัตถุประสงค์: Solve an equation or find a variable numerically when an algebraic route is long or implicit.
ใช้เมื่อใด: Iterative or implicit equations, or to confirm an algebraic solution.
ขั้นตอน
Use the equation/zero solver, entering the equation and a sensible starting estimate.
ข้อควรระวังในการสอบ: Use a GDC from the IB-approved list in examination mode. Some papers do not permit a calculator. Always show your reasoning.
Numerical integration & differentiation
Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)
วัตถุประสงค์: Evaluate a definite integral \(\int_a^b f(x)\,dx\) or a gradient \(f'(x)\) at a point.
ใช้เมื่อใด: Checking calculus answers, or where only a numerical value is needed.
ขั้นตอน
Use the GDC's numeric integral / derivative function with the limits or the point.
ข้อควรระวังในการสอบ: Use a GDC from the IB-approved list in examination mode. Some papers do not permit a calculator. Always show your reasoning.
Statistics & probability distributions
Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)
วัตถุประสงค์: 1-var/2-var statistics, linear regression, and cumulative binomial / normal / Poisson probabilities without tables.
ใช้เมื่อใด: Statistics questions and hypothesis tests.
ขั้นตอน
Enter data in the statistics editor, or use the distribution menu (binomial cdf, normal cdf, …).
ข้อควรระวังในการสอบ: Use a GDC from the IB-approved list in examination mode. Some papers do not permit a calculator. Always show your reasoning.
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย
1highคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 2Energy cycles in reactions
Mismatched units in Thermodynamic calculations, substituting entropy in Joules directly into Gibbs Free Energy calculations.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Always divide entropy values (typically in J K-1 mol-1) by 1000 to convert them to kJ K-1 mol-1 before using them in the equation: Delta G = Delta H - T * Delta S.
Drawing sloppy curly arrows in reaction mechanisms that start or end in empty spaces.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Ensure curly arrows start precisely on a lone pair of electrons, a formal negative charge, or a covalent/pi bond, and point directly to the nucleus of the electron-deficient atom.
3mediumคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 3Ideal gases
Failing to convert volume from dm3 or cm3 to m3 when using the Ideal Gas Equation.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: When using the gas constant R = 8.31 J K-1 mol-1, always convert volume to cubic meters (m3) by dividing dm3 by 1000, or dividing cm3 by 1,000,000.
4mediumคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 1Green Chemistry, Experimental Methods and Spectroscopy
Failing to double the absolute uncertainty of a balance or burette when calculating total experimental uncertainty.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: For subtraction-based measurements (like mass differences or final/initial burette volumes), you must sum the absolute uncertainties of both measurements (e.g., 2 x +/- 0.05 cm3 = +/- 0.10 cm3).
5mediumคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 1Green Chemistry, Experimental Methods and Spectroscopy
Omitting charges on fragments in mass spectrometry questions.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Always include a positive charge symbol (e.g., CH3+ or COOH+) on chemical formulas representing molecular or fragment ions in mass spectra.
6mediumคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 1Functional groups: Classification of organic compounds
Drawing incorrect connectivity for functional groups, particularly linking a bond directly to the hydrogen atom of a hydroxyl or carboxyl group.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Explicitly draw bonds to show carbon-oxygen connectivity (C-O-H), ensuring that lines do not end on hydrogen atoms.
