Question & AnswerIf you have any other questions - please get in touch
What is the IB Chemistry (HL) exam format?
IB Chemistry HL has internal and external assessments: the IB external assessment is the part you do on test day and the IB internal assessment is usually a project or a presentation you have to work on ahead of time.
For the external assessments:
Paper 1 - multiple choice, data-based, and experimental work questions; will take you 2 hours (worth 36% of your final grade)
Paper 2 - Short-answer, and extended-response questions; will take you 2 hours 30 minutes (44% of your final grade)
For the internal assessments:
Scientific investigation; will take you 10 hours (worth 20% of your final grade)
To make sure you’re prepared enough to finish in time, take a look through the IB Chemistry Syllabus and our free IB Chemistry resources that cover the most important material you should know.
How do I study for IB Chemistry (HL)?
IB exams are scored using a combination of internal and external assessments. The IB score range is 1 to 7, with 7 being the highest. External assessments, such as the written exams, are marked by external IB examiners, while internal assessments, such as projects or oral presentations, are graded by the student's teacher and then moderated by IB examiners. The scores from different assessments are combined, and students may earn up to 42 points from six subjects, with an additional 3 points available from the Theory of Knowledge (TOK) and the IB Extended Essay, for a maximum total of 45 points.
What units are on IB Chemistry (HL)?
You’ve likely covered a lot of material during your course this year, but to get a 7 on the International Baccalaureate exam, it’s important you understand how often each topic shows up. Once you take a look through the breakdown below, make sure to read through the IB Chemistry (HL) study guide above with all the key points you should know for each unit. The IB Chemistry (HL) revision notes are made by other students who already took that class. After that, run through the IB Chemistry (HL) flashcards to practice important terms you should know for the exam. You can also do some test prep using the tests attached to each note. There’s a lot of IB Chemistry (HL) resources for you to shuffle between until you find the method that works best for your learning style. Make sure to start ahead and leave enough time to practice.
