IB Physics

IB Physics can be taken at either the Standard or Higher Level. Higher-Level physics students learn all the content and skills expected at the Standard Level and additional HL-only content. Both Standard-Level and Higher-Level students complete the internally assessed Independent Investigation, a report on an independently selected, designed, and analyzed experiment of their choice.

At the end of the program, all SL and HL Physics students sit for the IB Physics examinations. These examinations consist of multiple papers containing questions and problems on different aspects of the syllabus. Examination question types include multiple-choice, short-answer, and data interpretation, which assess students’ critical thinking skills and application of content knowledge.

To succeed in IB Physics, students must develop excellent study habits and engage in systematic practice of the questions and concepts they will be expected to answer and apply in their examinations. This is where Revision Village comes in - equipping each student with the right materials to improve their understanding and scores on the IB Physics examinations.
Students can review important concepts with the Key Concepts videos, ensuring their grasp of the underlying material is solid. They can use the Popular Quizzes for a brief, concentrated study session before an in-class assessment. They can then revise using the questions and problems in the Questionbank, which contains IB-style questions arranged by topic and sorted by difficulty, accompanied by mark schemes and video solutions. The Revision Village App is great for on-the-go revision. Use the app to practice concepts through Flashcards. Near the end of the course, students can use the Revision Ladder to increase their skills across the entire syllabus, step-by-step and full-length Mock Exams, and Prediction Exams to ensure they are 100% prepared to earn a 7 on the IB Physics exams.
