External Assessment
The sharp end!
This section of the site is about external assessment. The first exams for the current syllabus took place in May 2021 and given the significant changes that place a big focus on applications and some new topics, there is a shortage of papers available. for that reason we have developed a series of original practice exam papers for you to use with your students when it suits you best. Please find below 3 complete SL exam papers 1 and 2 as well as 3 complete HL papers 1 and 2 and 2 practice HL paper 3 examples.
