Why Use Subject-Specific IB Mock Exams?
Generalized testing doesn’t work in IB. Each subject—Math, Science, Humanities—demands unique skills. That’s why subject-specific IB mock exams offer smarter, more targeted prep.
The Benefit of Precision Practice
These mocks allow:
- Better alignment with assessment objectives
- Mastery of subject-specific formats (like Paper 2 long responses in History or data tables in Bio)
Reducing Exam-Day Surprises
With regular mocks:
- You’ll recognize question patterns
- You’ll improve time management
- You’ll walk into exams with strategic confidence
IB Math Mock Exams: Skills, Strategy, and Speed
IB Math exams are notoriously time-pressured. Mock exams help refine calculation speed and accuracy.
Key Topics in SL vs HL
- SL: Algebra, Functions, Geometry
- HL: Calculus, Probability, Statistics, and Paper 3 advanced topics
Paper Breakdown
- Paper 1: No calculator, conceptual understanding
- Paper 2: Calculator allowed, real-world modeling
- Paper 3 (HL only): Deep application in optional topics
Use Timed IB Practice Tests to build your pace for each paper.
IB Science Mock Exams: Data, Diagrams, and Depth
IB Sciences are about data interpretation and applied knowledge, not just memorization.
Breakdown by Subject
- Biology: Focus on experiments, process skills, RLS application
- Chemistry: Stoichiometry, periodicity, organic chemistry
- Physics: Formulas, vectors, calculations, data graphs
Tackling Data Response Questions
Mock exams should include questions that:
- Require interpretation of experimental setups
- Demand written reasoning and calculation
Pair with Note Organization
Science exams are easier when your material is structured. Use our guide on IB Study Material Organization to optimize your lab notes, formulas, and diagrams.
Humanities Mock Exams: Argument, Evidence, and Analysis
Humanities demand persuasive writing, source analysis, and precise structure.
Subjects Included
- History: Source work, extended essays, historical argument
- TOK: Knowledge questions, claims/counterclaims, RLS
- Global Politics: Policy, case studies, terminology
Recommended Resources
- Use the TOK AOK Guide to organize essay frameworks
- Use the Individual Oral Guide to structure commentary under timed settings
How to Analyze Subject-Specific Results
After every mock, take 15–20 minutes to assess the data.
What to Track
- Paper-wise performance
- Topic accuracy (e.g., Organic Chemistry vs Thermodynamics)
- Error patterns (calculation, structure, misinterpretation)
