Understanding the weighting of your internal and external assessments is crucial for success in IB Biology. In this post we will break down the weighting of each component of the IB Biology course, allowing you to approach the subject with great confidence.
While the total amount of marks and duration of the exam vary between Standard Level and Higher Level, both SL and HL assessment components have the exam same weighting. The IB Biology assessment component weighting is as follows:
Assessment Component | Weighting |
|---|---|
Paper 1 | 36% |
Paper 2 | 44% |
Internal Assessment (IA) | 20% |
