If you are currently completing the IB Diploma Program, you may have become familiar with TOK, which includes a 1600-word essay along with a 950-word TOK exhibition. Although TOK essay prompts change after a set amount of time, you may be wondering if this is the case for the TOK exhibition prompts as well. This post is here to help clarify whether the TOK exhibition prompts change.
The TOK exhibition is the Internal Assessment (IA) portion of the TOK component. It is marked by your high school's TOK teachers and externally moderated by the IB. As part of the TOK exhibition, you will need to pick a prompt and 3 objects. All 3 objects must link to the same prompt. The 35 TOK exhibition prompts can be found here.
TOK exhibition prompts do not change from session to session (eg: May to November) and are fixed for a specific duration of time. According to the information in the IB TOK subject brief, the current TOK exhibition prompts were first introduced in May 2022 and have not been changed since then. The current TOK prompts will be valid until the IB specifically announces a new set of TOK exhibition prompts.
