Assessment

For both SL and HL, there are two examinations at the end of your second year, which include multiple choice, data-based, short answer and extended response questions. There is also one internal assessment (IA) that contributes 20% to the final assessment, involving 10 hours of practical work on an individual investigation. The IA provides students with the flexibility to choose a topic of interest, plan and carry out a scientific investigation, utilise appropriate techniques and equipment, and effectively communicate their findings.
