Using IB exam papers as the basis for revision and examinations

The IBO sells the recent IB papers and mark schemes at Follett

Each exam and mark scheme costs £1.99 Pounds sterling. Therefore, buying all of the tests and mark schemes for the last four years can be expensive. Purchasing the most recent is often the best policy

Taking one whole year's tests in one sitting should take 3 hours for SL and 4 hours for HL students. The IB calendar has each examination sat on different days so it is good practice to do the same when setting these papers for mock / practice examination sessions.  One last piece of advice would be to allow your students the same amount of time to complete each test as in the real thing - to get students used to complete the work in the time allocated.

We have produced IB examination style questions that your students can use to practice writing their answers in the format of the IB Economics examination. The questions include:

Each question we have included also contains markscheme answers and useful tips for completing each exam style question.  They are perfect as either a major test or homework exercise.
