What this AA HL exponentials and logs worksheet covers

Laws of indices and logarithms, solving exponential equations and modelling growth and decay. The questions follow the order of the AA HL syllabus for Topic 1 (Number & Algebra) and are graded in three bands — routine practice, exam-standard, and the harder multi-step questions that separate a 6 from a 7.

Laws of logarithms and change of base
Solving equations of the form aˣ = b and log equations
Exponential growth and decay models
Graphs of exponential and logarithmic functions
Exam tip for this topic. Take logs of both sides as the first written step; the examiner wants to see the method, not just the GDC solution.

How to use it

  1. Do the first band without the AA HL formula booklet, then check which formulas you had to look up — those are the ones to memorise.
  2. Time the second band at roughly 1.2 minutes per mark, the pace of Paper 1 and Paper 2.
  3. Mark the third band against the solutions and rewrite every question you lost marks on from a blank page.
