🎯 What Is IB Test Sharing?
IB test sharing refers to freely exchanged mock exams, quizzes, or study materials crafted and distributed by IB students in online communities or study groups. These peer-created resources often help fill gaps where official past papers may not provide enough variety or focus.
✅ How Students Share IB Practice Exams Safely
Peer communities on platforms like r/IBO Reddit, IB-specific Discord servers, or student forums often share:
- Custom revision tests designed around specific topics or recurring exam themes
- Group-generated multiple-choice quizzes or structured question sets
- Mock exam compilations built from past-paper formatting
These materials are usually shared ethically—question stems only, not copyrighted IB content, and with warnings to use them responsibly. (Reddit, Reddit, spires.co)
🛠️ RevisionDojo: Enabling Collaborative Test Sharing
RevisionDojo provides built-in features for collaborative study and test sharing:
- Share tests you build with friends or tutors via Test Builder export links (printable PDFs or online modes) (revisiondojo.com)
- Collaborate with study buddies—track progress, error patterns, and share custom quizzes for mutual review
This aligns with IB’s integrity rules: sharing user-generated practice—not official past papers—helps students learn without compromising academic honesty (revisiondojo.com).
📌 Guardrails for IB-Compliant Sharing
- Never share unreleased IB papers or examiner materials—this violates IB policy. In subreddits like r/IBO, asking for unreleased content is prohibited. (Academia Stack Exchange, revisiondojo.com, Reddit)
- Stick to user-generated content: quizzes you create yourself or collaboratively, not official exams
- Attribute shared work clearly, and don’t submit another student’s answers in IAs, EEs, or exams—maintain academic integrity at all times (International Baccalaureate®)
🧩 Example Test-Sharing Workflow
- A study group creates a set of 10 structured TOK questions using RevisionDojo’s Test Builder
- They export it as a shareable link or printable PDF, then distribute to group members
- Each student completes it and loads responses into Jojo AI for consistent feedback
- The group meets virtually to discuss flagged weak areas or common misconceptions
- They repeat the drill focusing on missed topics until performance improves
