FAQ

Are these IB Geography SL grade boundaries official for May 2025 TZ0?

Yes. The boundaries listed here match the IB Geography SL grade boundaries for May 2025 (Timezone 0) by component (IA, Paper 1, Paper 2) and overall total. It’s important to read them as thresholds for that exact session and timezone, not as promises for the future. Even when boundaries feel “stable,” they can shift based on exam difficulty and global performance. That’s why the best use of boundaries is planning, not prediction. To track changes over time, compare sessions on RevisionDojo’s grade boundary pages.

Should I focus more on IA or the exam papers?

In IB Geography, your best strategy is balance with intention. The IA can be a reliable mark bank because you can draft, refine, and respond to feedback. But Paper 1 and Paper 2 are where time pressure and technique decide everything in the final weeks. If your IA is already near the 6/7 boundary, you may get a bigger return by improving Paper 1 resources and Paper 2 evaluation. If your IA is weaker, raising it even a few marks can reduce the exam-day stress dramatically. RevisionDojo helps here by combining Study Notes, Flashcards, AI Chat, and Grading tools so you can improve both coursework and exam performance.

What’s the fastest way to gain marks for a higher IB Geography grade?

Fast gains usually come from precision, not new content. Start with command terms: many students lose marks by describing when they should evaluate, or listing when they should explain. Next, tighten your case studies so each one has two to four memorable stats and a clear “so what?” link to the question. Then practice under time using Mock Exams or predicted papers, because speed changes how well you think. After each attempt, use feedback to identify repeat errors and drill them with the Questionbank. Over a few weeks, these small, repeatable fixes can move you across a boundary.

Final thought: use boundaries, then move on

The May 2025 TZ0 IB Geography SL boundaries are clear: a 7 starts at 77/100. Useful information -- but not the thing you should stare at all night. Use the thresholds to set weekly mark targets, then put your attention where marks are actually earned: structured answers, sharp case studies, and timed practice.

If you want a single place to run the full system (Study Notes, Flashcards, Questionbank, AI Chat, Grading tools, Predicted Papers, Mock Exams, Coursework Library, and Tutors), build your plan around RevisionDojo’s IB Geography Resources hub.
