計算機規定

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: AO1: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of scientific facts, concepts, and terminology.
  • AO2: AO2: Apply scientific facts, concepts, and terminology to explain phenomena and solve problems.
  • AO3: AO3: Formulate, analyze, and evaluate scientific hypotheses, research questions, methodologies, and data.

計算機程式

Graph: zeros, intersections & turning points

Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)

用途: Plot a function to read its roots (zeros), points of intersection, and maxima/minima.

使用時機: Checking solutions, sketching, or solving where an analytic method is hard.

步驟
Graph the function(s) and use the built-in zero, intersect and maximum/minimum tools.

考試提示: 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)

用途: Solve an equation or find a variable numerically when an algebraic route is long or implicit.

使用時機: Iterative or implicit equations, or to confirm an algebraic solution.

步驟
Use the equation/zero solver, entering the equation and a sensible starting estimate.

考試提示: 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)

用途: Evaluate a definite integral \(\int_a^b f(x)\,dx\) or a gradient \(f'(x)\) at a point.

使用時機: Checking calculus answers, or where only a numerical value is needed.

步驟
Use the GDC's numeric integral / derivative function with the limits or the point.

考試提示: 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)

用途: 1-var/2-var statistics, linear regression, and cumulative binomial / normal / Poisson probabilities without tables.

使用時機: Statistics questions and hypothesis tests.

步驟
Enter data in the statistics editor, or use the distribution menu (binomial cdf, normal cdf, …).

考試提示: Use a GDC from the IB-approved list in examination mode. Some papers do not permit a calculator. Always show your reasoning.

常見錯誤

  1. 1high涉及分數: 1Cell respiration

    Writing that glucose 'produces' energy during cell respiration.

    如何避免: Describe respiration as the chemical oxidation of glucose to yield ATP (or chemical energy stored in ATP).
  2. 2high涉及分數: 2Ecology

    Writing separate, sequential paragraphs of descriptions when a question asks to 'compare and contrast' datasets or biological features.

    如何避免: Use explicit comparative terms side-by-side (such as 'whereas', 'both', 'higher than', 'lower than') to construct direct comparisons.
  3. 3high涉及分數: 1Cell structure

    Losing calculation marks for cell size or magnification due to incorrect unit conversions (such as dividing millimeters on paper directly by micrometers).

    如何避免: Always convert all measurements to the same unit (ideally micrometers, \(\mu\text{m}\), where 1 mm = 1000 \(\mu\text{m}\)) before dividing.
  4. 4medium涉及分數: 2Defence against disease

    Believing that antibiotics can kill or target viruses.

    如何避免: Explain that viruses lack their own metabolic pathways, cell walls, or 70S ribosomes, which are the targets of antibiotic action.
  5. 5high涉及分數: 1Cell respiration

    Using the vague term 'amount' or 'quantity' when identifying independent or dependent variables in experimental descriptions.

    如何避免: Use exact scientific terms such as 'mass', 'volume', or 'concentration', and always state the associated units.
  6. 6medium涉及分數: 2Water

    Drawing a water molecule diagram without the V-shape or omitting partial dipoles.

    如何避免: Draw the water molecule with a clear V-shape angle, label \(\delta^-\). on the oxygen atom, \(\delta^+\) on both hydrogen atoms, and draw dashed lines between oxygen and hydrogen of adjacent molecules for hydrogen bonds.
