How will I be assessed? You will be assessed by two externally assessed examination papers at the end of the course and an internally assessed scientific investigation: Paper 1 (1 hour and 30 minutes) 36% • Paper 1A—Multiple-choice questions • Paper 1B—Data-based questions (four questions that are syllabus-related, addressing all themes) Paper 2 (1 hour and 30 minutes) 44% • Section A—Data-based and short answer questions • Section B—Extended-response questions Internal assessment (10 hours) 20% The internal assessment consists of one task: the scientific investigation. This component is internally assessed by the teacher and externally moderated by the IB at the end of the course.
