Historical Inquiries

Historical Inquiries in RV History are designed around the unique demands of each IB History Paper. Paper 1 inquiries sharpen source analysis skills and the use of evidence to address an Inquiry Question. Paper 2 inquiries build conceptual thinking by drawing on targeted examples from each Thematic Study. Across both papers, Historical Inquiries are built around the IB's emphasis on perspectives, guiding you through the range of arguments and approaches relevant to each exam.
