IB Physics Exam Secrets
Learn the most commonly asked questions for each topic
(and why mathematicians love forests so much :)
Get a huge advantage on the upcoming Physics SL and HL exams
How?
By breaking down every exam so far with an incredibly detailed analysis of each question.
I’m happy to share the results with you, in order to help you prepare for YOUR exams.
I’ll take what I learned from my insane spreadsheet and summarise the results for you!
I’ve mapped every single question from every single paper in the current IB Physics SL and HL syllabus, to its relative topic and subtopic (e.g. Kirchoff’s law), and I even did an analysis of the difficulty of each question.
With that, I was able to learn some valuable trends and calculated the questions and subtopics that most likely will show up on the next exam, including how likely they are to be asked on Paper 1 vs Paper 2.
What you sign up for: 9 emails in 9 days (SL) or 13 emails in 13 days (HL)
It’s a lot to cover and I didn’t want to overwhelm you with a single ridiculous post. Instead, you’ll receive 9 emails from me over 9 days (if you’re in Physics SL), or 13 emails over 13 days (if you’re in Physics HL) following this program:
- Day 1: Measurement and Uncertainty
- Day 2: Mechanics
- Day 3: Thermal Physics
- Day 4: Waves
- Day 5: Electricity and Magnetism
- Day 6: Circular Motion and Gravitation
- Day 7: Atomic, Nuclear, Particle Physics
- Day 8: Energy Production
- Day 9: Wave Phenomena (HL Only)
- Day 10: Fields (HL Only)
- Day 11: Electromagnetic Induction (HL Only)
- Day 12: Quantum and Nuclear Physics (HL Only)
Each day, we will cover:
- The most common questions and sub-topics
- Breakdown of the details for that topic and specific tips and tricks for the exams
This way, you’ll know exactly what to revise when preparing for the exam.
Because, let’s face it, you are likely overwhelmed with the sheer amount of material to cover.
I’m here to help you get laser-focused on those exams, so you can finally think: IB awesome!
