Frequently Asked Questions
What is the IB Chemistry HL Questionbank?
The IB Chemistry HL Questionbank is a comprehensive set of IB Chemistry exam style questions, categorised into syllabus topic and concept, and sorted by difficulty of question. The bank of exam style questions are accompanied by high quality step-by-step markschemes and video tutorials, taught by experienced IB Chemistry teachers. The IB Chemistry HL Question bank is the perfect exam revision resource for IB students looking to practice IB Chemistry exam style questions in a particular topic or concept in their IB Chemistry Higher Level course.
Where should I start in the Chemistry HL Questionbank?
The IB Chemistry HL Questionbank is designed to help IB students practice Chemistry HL exam style questions in a specific topic or concept. Therefore, a good place to start is by identifying a concept that you would like to practice and improve in and go to that area of the Chemistry HL Question bank. For example, if you want to practice Chemistry HL exam style questions covering Electron Configuration, you can go to Chemistry HL Topic 2 (Atomic Structure) and go to the Electron Configuration area of the question bank. On this page there is a carefully designed set of IB Chemistry HL exam style questions, progressing in order of difficulty from easiest to hardest. If you’re just getting started with your revision, you could start at the top of the page with the easiest questions, or if you already have some confidence, you could start at the medium difficulty questions and progress down.
How should I use the Chemistry HL Questionbank?
The Chemistry HL Questionbank is perfect for revising a particular topic or concept, in-depth. For example, if you wanted to improve your knowledge of Electron Configuration, there are over 20 IB Chemistry HL exam style questions focused specifically on this concept. Alternatively, Revision Village also has an extensive library of Chemistry HL Practice Exams, where students can simulate the length and difficulty of an IB exam with the Mock Exam sets, as well as Chemistry HL Key Concepts, where students can learn and revise the underlying theory, if missed or misunderstood in class.
What if I finish the Chemistry HL Questionbank?
With an extensive and growing library of full length IB Chemistry HL exam style questions in the Chemistry HL Question bank, finishing all of the questions would be a fantastic effort, and you will be in a great position for your final exams.
