IB History HL - Questionbank
A17 - Civil Rights and Social Movements

The HL History Questionbank comprises short answer questions, both with and without sources, across various topics and examples. The questions are arranged by difficulty and can be filtered based on your needs. Each question includes an Explanation that helps you consider the potential responses to a given question and a Sample Answer that serves as a model response that would achieve full marks on the question. Think of the Explanation as the breadth of possibilities and the Sample Answer as a way of modeling the depth of response demanded by the question based on its command term and the topic being assessed.

Your use of the HL History Questionbank depends on your current goals, the time of the school year, and your particular revision needs. Are you studying a specific Cold War crisis in class and need to prepare for a quiz? Navigate to the appropriate subtopic page and explore the questions to review and acquire new knowledge. Need to practice compare and contrast questions for Paper 1? Test your skills on familiar and unfamiliar topics using the source-based compare and contrast questions in any subtopic within the Questionbank. Need more detailed evidence for your Paper 3 essays? Dig into the markschemes for suggested examples and evidence to help you reach the necessary depth for your arguments.

Our team of creators is working to develop materials for a wide variety of topics using an array of examples within each that will make IB History at Revision Village useful for students worldwide. Even if we don’t have materials based on the content you need, practicing questions to develop particular writing skills or critical analysis will likely help you on the exam.
