HL SEHS? Here's What Makes It Different—and How to Study Smart

🏆 1. What Makes HL SEHS Unique?

HL (Higher Level) SEHS includes all Standard Level content plus three additional HL topics:

• Environmental Physiology (e.g. effects of extreme environments on performance)
• Biomechanics and Skill Acquisition (more depth in movement analysis)
• Team Dynamics and Leadership in Sport

RevisionDojo’s SEHS curriculum guide highlights these HL-exclusive modules and explains their real-world relevance.

🔎 2. Additional Assessment Expectations

• Greater IA depth: HL coursework and data analysis must show higher critical thinking and integration of physiology, biomechanics, and psychology.
• Complex exam questions: HL-level prompts often require synthesis across multiple topics (e.g., environmental effects + skill acquisition + motivation).
• Formula application: HL questions frequently demand deeper biomechanical calculations and threshold-based analyses like VO₂ max in altitude training scenarios.

RevisionDojo SEHS modules include HL-style question sets and targeted exam strategies.

🧠 3. How to Study Smart for HL SEHS

A. Master Core & HL Modules Carefully

• Focus your revision on both core (Measurement, Physiology, Hydration, etc.) and deep-dive into HL modules like Environmental Physiology and Biomechanics.
• Use RevisionDojo topic notes and flashcards for efficient recall.

📋 4. HL SEHS vs SL SEHS: Quick Comparison

Feature HL SEHS SL SEHS Content Depth Core + HL modules (e.g. environmental physiology, biomechanics) Core only Exam Questions More integrated and scenario-heavy Focused on core physiology, nutrition, skill acquisition IA Complexity and Word Count Higher expectations for analysis and sophistication Straightforward investigation Formula and Calculation Use Advanced biomechanical and environmental calculations Basic estimation and observations Recommended Study Hours ~6–8 hrs/week ~3–5 hrs/week

RevisionDojo’s HL modules and exam prep tools help tackle these added demands.

🧭 5. Key Revision Tips for HL SEHS Success

1. Connect course themes—bridge physiology, environmental effects, and motivation to back claims with confidence.
2. Practice extended responses using HL-structured essay prompts from RevisionDojo.
3. Use real-life scenarios—like simulating altitude training, injury rehabilitation, or leadership in sport.
4. Audit your flashcards monthly to keep knowledge fresh and catch weaker topics early.
