Why the Questionbank Is the Smartest Way to Revise
The biggest mistake IB Math students make is doing random question sets without focus. You can spend hours solving problems and still not improve if they don’t address your weak spots.
That’s where RevisionDojo’s Questionbank changes everything. It isn’t just a list of problems — it’s a smart learning system that adapts to your performance, tracks your accuracy, and gives you real exam-style feedback.
By learning how to use it strategically, you’ll make every practice session count — building confidence through deliberate, data-driven revision.
Quick-Start Checklist
Before your next math practice session:
- Open RevisionDojo’s Questionbank and sign into your course (AA or AI, SL or HL).
- Select one target topic — not more than two at once.
- Choose “Practice Mode” for guided questions with feedback.
- Review markschemes immediately after solving each question.
- Use your Topic Accuracy Tracker to plan your next session.
Step 1: Start With Diagnostic Practice
If you’re not sure where to begin, let the Questionbank decide for you.
Use the Diagnostic Mode, which pulls a short quiz covering every topic from the syllabus.
Once you finish, RevisionDojo instantly analyzes:
- Which topics you’re strongest in.
- Which topics cause the most mistakes.
- How long you spend per question.
From there, it recommends a personalized list of topics to prioritize — your custom roadmap to improvement.
Step 2: Focus on One Topic at a Time
Targeted revision always beats multitasking.
Choose one topic — say, Integration by Substitution or Probability Distributions — and commit to it for a full 30–40 minute block.
Then move on to another subject the next day.
RevisionDojo’s Questionbank filters questions by topic, subtopic, and difficulty, so you can practice methodically rather than randomly.
Step 3: Understand How Each Mode Works
The Questionbank offers multiple practice modes designed for different goals:
- Practice Mode: Immediate feedback after every question (perfect for learning).
- Exam Mode: Full paper simulation under timed conditions.
- Mixed Mode: Randomized problems across topics — ideal for revision before exams.
Start in Practice Mode to fix concepts, then switch to Exam Mode for performance under pressure.
Step 4: Learn From the Markschemes — Don’t Skip Them
The real magic happens after you answer.
Every Questionbank problem includes:
- Full step-by-step markscheme.
- Common student errors highlighted in red.
- Examiner-style comments explaining reasoning.
Reading these explanations builds examiner awareness — so you learn not just what to write, but how to present it for maximum marks.
Step 5: Track Your Progress Data
RevisionDojo automatically tracks every attempt you make. You can view:
- Accuracy by Topic.
- Average Time per Question.
- Score Trends Over Time.
Your Performance Dashboard visually shows improvements and plateaus — helping you identify when to move on and when to revisit a concept.
Step 6: Use Weak Topics as Priority Practice
Once you’ve built a few sessions’ worth of data, focus exclusively on your lowest-scoring topics.
Click “Weakest Topics” in your dashboard, and the Questionbank automatically generates a custom quiz targeting those areas.
This laser focus ensures your time goes toward real improvement rather than random review.
Step 7: Combine Questionbank With Notes and Flashcards
To get the most from your practice, combine learning tools:
- Before practice: Read the related RevisionDojo Notes for key formulas and examples.
- During practice: Attempt 5–10 questions on that topic.
- After practice: Review relevant Flashcards for definitions and formula recall.
This Learn → Apply → Reinforce cycle helps transfer information from short-term to long-term memory — the ultimate goal of revision.
Step 8: Simulate Exam Conditions Weekly
As exams approach, switch to Exam Mode once per week.
Select Paper 1 (no calculator) or Paper 2 (with calculator) simulations.
Sit through the paper without checking Notes or solutions.
Afterward, use the markscheme to grade yourself and note which command terms or question styles trip you up.
This combination of realism and reflection mimics the true IB experience — so exam day feels familiar, not stressful.
Step 9: Reflect After Every Practice Session
At the end of each session, take 2–3 minutes to reflect:
- What kind of question slowed me down?
- What formula or concept did I forget?
- What will I review next time?
RevisionDojo’s Reflection Tracker helps log these insights automatically, turning every session into a lesson learned.
Step 10: Stay Consistent — Small Steps Add Up
You don’t need marathon study sessions.
Consistency is what matters most.
Even 20–30 minutes a day using the Questionbank adds up to dozens of problems solved weekly — enough to transform weak areas into strengths over time.
RevisionDojo’s Study Streak Counter keeps you accountable and motivated to maintain that daily rhythm.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How many questions should I do per session?
Around 10–15 questions per topic is ideal. Focus on accuracy, not volume.
2. Should I repeat the same questions?
Yes — especially the ones you got wrong. Repetition cements understanding and builds confidence.
3. Can I use the Questionbank for IA preparation?
Definitely. It’s perfect for testing methods or verifying results in your IA exploration section.
