Is this for AA or AI?
Analysis and approaches (AA), SL and HL. AI is a different course and is not included.

How exact is the feedback?
Method and accuracy marks are decided from your typed working. Reasoning marks, and methods the marker does not recognise, are left uncertain for you to check. Short practice does not give a grade.
