Mathematics Exam Prep 2026
Prepare for the mathematics exam (coefficient 7, 4h paper) with AI-generated study sheets, quizzes & flashcards.
Mathematics exam format
The mathematics exam has 3 to 5 independent exercises graded out of 20 points. Exercises may include: problem-solving, proofs, true/false with justification, initiative exercises, or open-ended questions. Calculators are allowed. Mathematical writing matters: proofs must be rigorous, results boxed, and hypotheses clearly stated.
Mathematics program for 2026 exams
The mathematics curriculum covers six major themes. Algebra: numerical sequences (arithmetic, geometric, recursive), limits. Analysis: functions, differentiation, integration, primitives, differential equations. Geometry: vectors, dot product, 3D geometry. Probability and statistics: probability laws, random variables, normal distribution, confidence intervals. Algorithms and Python programming. Mathematical reasoning: induction, contrapositive, proof by contradiction.

Tips to succeed in the mathematics exam
Systematically redo course exercises without looking at solutions. If stuck for more than 10 minutes, check the solution then redo the exercise the next day.
For sequences, master 3 techniques: induction, bounding, and limits. Learn to identify the sequence type from the problem statement.
In probability, always draw a probability tree or table. Visualization prevents calculation and reasoning errors.
Learn the standard proofs in the curriculum (intermediate value theorem, Bienaymé-Chebyshev inequality). They come up regularly.
Systematically verify your results: reverse calculation, numerical verification, special case testing. Examiners value critical thinking.
Common mistakes in mathematics
Avoid these classic pitfalls to earn more points on exam day.
Not checking theorem application conditions. Before using the intermediate value theorem, verify the function is continuous on the interval.
Confusing necessary and sufficient conditions. 'f'(x) = 0' is necessary for a local extremum, but not sufficient.
Forgetting special cases and forbidden values. When solving equations, verify solutions are in the domain.
Writing incomplete induction proofs. Never forget initialization, heredity, AND conclusion.
Frequently asked questions about the mathematics exam
How to study math for the exam?
The key is practice: redo course exercises, then past papers under timed conditions. Create formula sheets by chapter. Identify recurring mistakes and work specifically on them. Aim for 3-5 complete past papers before exam day.
What are the most important math chapters for the exam?
Sequences, functions (differentiation/integration), and probability appear in every session. 3D geometry and differential equations are also frequent. Master these 5 chapters first: they cover 80% of exam topics.
Is a calculator useful for the math exam?
Calculators are allowed and useful for numerical calculations and verification. But points are in the writing and approach, not numerical results. Know how to use your calculator's statistical and graphing functions.
How to manage time in the 4h math exam?
Read all exercises (10 min), then start with the one you know best. Spend about 45 minutes per exercise for 4 exercises. Keep 20 minutes for proofreading. Never stay stuck: move on and come back.
What is the math exam coefficient?
Mathematics has a coefficient of 7 as a specialty, one of the highest in the baccalaureate. It's a decisive subject for honors. Regular practice of exercises and past papers is the best strategy to maximize your points.
