What is the IB Sports, Exercise, and Health Science (SL) exam format?

IB Sports, Exercise and Health Science SL 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, experimental work questions; will take you 1 hour 30 minutes (worth 36% of your final grade) Paper 2 - Short-answer and extended-response questions; will take you 1 hour 30 minutes (40% of your final grade) For the internal assessments: Scientific investigation; will take you 10 hours (worth 24% of your final grade) To make sure you’re prepared enough to finish in time, take a look through the IB Sports, Exercise and Health Science Syllabus and our free IB Sports, Exercise and Health Science resources that cover the most important material you should know.

How do I study for IB Sports, Exercise, and Health Science (SL)?

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 Sports, Exercise, and Health Science (SL)?

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 Sports, Exercise, and Health Science (SL) study guide above with all the key points you should know for each unit. The IB Sports, Exercise, and Health Science (SL) revision notes are made by other students who already took that class. After that, run through the IB Sports, Exercise, and Health Science (SL) 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.
