Maths Tripos IB Model Solutions
Dear University of Cambridge,
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I would like to request model solutions for the Mathematical Tripos Part IB papers from the following years:
2012-2016, 2018
2017, 2019, 2020 (excludes the last five years)
As a current student at the University, I have found access to past solutions invaluable for academic learning. Many past paper problems are challenging, and revision supervisions typically cover only the last three years, making it difficult to self-study older papers effectively.
Last year, I submitted a similar FOI request for Part IA solutions, which was granted and proved highly beneficial. Past IB solutions have also been released under FOI, including:
FOI-2023-1072 – IB solutions for 2012–16 and 2018 (excluded previous 5 years)
FOI-2023-913 – IB solutions for 2012–16 (with minor redactions)
FOI-2025-32 – Most recent successful request for IA solutions
Given these precedents, I kindly request the same fair and consistent application of FOI principles. If this request is denied, please do provide a full explanation.
If my email is required it is [email address]
Best Regards,
Abir Mohammed
