No it isn't, when you see how hard the questions are... And you actually need a deep understanding of concepts, it's not simply a matter of 'plug in the numbers' all the time...
Tbf I agree with you
But having all those vectors equations makes it a lot easier
We don't have modules. We also get some absolutely hideous questions. Our papers are out of 120 too... From what I've seen, A level questions mainly ask 'can you do this skill' whereas the questions I get asked really require a good understanding of maths... You can know methods but still get stuck on questions in IB maths. It's by far the hardest IB subject too imo. Still unfair?

Eh, AH Maths has the same difficult questions. It even has elements of further maths from what I've seen.

m8 this planes question is great, a and b are easy but c requires a decent bit of thought
Not really if you have the formulae
Just draw a nice clear diagram
I'll admit though those questions are a lot lot lot worse than A Level lmao where we have something like
'express f(x) in partial fractions, hence find the integral of f(x)'
And it'll just be like two ln functions and an inverse tan function and they think it's super hard

IB Maths has at least 80% of A level FM content, plus we do some things that aren't in FM. I have 5 maths lessons a week, my A level FM friends have 12. To be fair, there's basically no mechanics in my maths course though. IB FM is next level

Our questions are a lot simpler than that
Straightforward and much easier
Although I would've liked questions like these better

Meh, we don't have any mechanics modules either. There are other subjects called AH Applied Maths: Mechanics or AH Applied Maths: Stats.
I have 4 lessons a week for maths, 2 for physics and 1 for French. We AH students get no love from teachers whatsoever.
Got my letter from student finance confirming my application Turns out my maintenance loan is £600 less than I was expecting, so now after rent I'll have £14 to live off per week
