Subject-Specific IB Mock Exams: Math, Science, and Humanities

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.
