Assessment

External Assessment 80%: Paper 1: Multiple-choice questions test knowledge of the core for SL pupils, plus the advanced (AHL) material for HL pupils. Paper 2: The paper is divided into two sections: • Section A consists of a data-based question which requires pupils to analyse a given set of data. The remainder of section A is made up of short-answer questions. • Section B requires pupils to select two questions from a choice of four at HL or one question from a choice of three at SL. Paper 3: This paper tests knowledge of the option. Internal Assessment 20%: The internal assessment consists of an interdisciplinary project; a mixture of short and long-term investigations (practicals and subject specific projects). Pupils’ work is internally assessed by the teacher and externally moderated by the IBO.
