Which Papers to Prioritize

Your subject, your syllabus— use recent 2–3 years
Mock exams from your school— mirror final paper types
Papers with full markschemes— so you can self-review

How to Use Them

Practice one full paper every 2–3 days
Start with open-book → then go timed
Mark your answers with a colored pen and write "why I lost marks"

Tip

If you miss a question, don't just try again. Understand the reasoning. IB exams reward structured thinking — not just facts.
