IB Chemistry SL
Flashcards

IB Chemistry Standard Level (SL) is one of the science courses in the current IB Science curriculum. The Chemistry SL course is a traditional science course in which students develop a deep understanding of scientific concepts and solve both real and theoretical problems, with and without technology. The Chemistry SL course should be considered by students who are moderate to strong at science and interested in pursuing courses and pathways involving science or engineering after their IB Diploma Program.

The IB Chemistry SL course consists of three assessment items that contribute to a student’s overall score. There are two exam papers and an internally assessed independent investigation. Paper 1 consists of multiple-choice and data-based questions, and Paper 2 consists of short-answer questions. The use of a calculator is permitted for Paper 1 and Paper 2. A data booklet with useful constants and equations is provided for both papers.

There are two phases students progress through in their two-year IB Chemistry SL course: the learning phase and the revision phase. The learning phase occurs in class, with their teacher and textbooks, where students first encounter and explore scientific concepts and consolidate their understanding by solving questions specific to that concept. The revision phase, which is what Revision Village is specifically designed for, is when students consolidate their knowledge of all of the concepts in the Chem SL course and appreciate how the concepts are connected. In the revision phase, the most effective strategy is to practice many IB Chemistry SL exam questions to build confidence, reach mastery, and be prepared for the Chemistry SL examinations.

Revision Village is specifically designed to support IB students in the revision phase of their IB Chemistry Standard Level course. Revision Village has four main sections, each for different revision purposes: 1) Questionbank: an extensive library of IB Chemistry SL exam questions categorized by topic and sorted by difficulty, 2) Practice Exams: a carefully designed set of quizzes, revision ladders, mock papers, and prediction exams for students to use in their final phase of revision, 3) Past Paper Video Solutions: step-by-step video tutorials of past Chem SL exam questions, taught by experienced IB Teachers, and 4) Key Concepts: short concise videos that recap the important theory in the Chemistry SL course. There is also a Revision Village app with terminology flash cards and plenty of multiple-choice questions to practice on the go! Revision Village is the perfect place for IB Students to learn, practice, and prepare for their IB Chemistry exam stress-free, with all of the resources they need in one place.
