Frequently Asked Questions

The Revision Village Study Sessions are approximately 1.5 - 2 hour online review sessions for IB students. Held as a Zoom webinar, they are freely available and open to all - including students, teachers, and tutors. Sessions cover a range of topics, including important concepts, assessment strategies and skills, or difficult questions in IB examinations. They are taught by experienced IB teachers, examiners, and workshop leaders from around the world, all of whom produce materials you can find on Revision Village.

While we would encourage students to attend live sessions, allowing for questions and live feedback, we will be recording each session and will generally seek to make them available for later viewing - linked where the original registration was located. However, for a variety of reasons we cannot guarantee that any particular session will become available after it’s been given.

RV Study Sessions are designed to be most appropriate for students in the second year of the program who have previously studied the material under review. However, students earlier in the program may also find topics being covered they have previously seen, or may attend sessions on topics they haven’t yet encountered as a brief and intense introduction to a particular concept. Additionally, teachers and tutors may find the material examined in the RV Study Sessions helpful and useful as they work with students preparing for the IB examinations.

The times shown on the website and the registration for the Study Sessions are given in your local time. As sessions are being offered for students located around the world, not every session will be at a convenient time or date, but we strive to offer a selection of useful sessions appropriate for every timezone.

The study sessions are completely free. You don’t need to have an active gold subscription, or even have a Revision Village account. These sessions are open to all.
