Frequently Asked Questions
What types of Physics HL Practice Exams are available?
Revision Village has created three types of IB Physics HL Practice Exams: Popular Quizzes, a Revision Ladder, and Mock Exam Papers. Each of the Physics HL Practice Exam types have a different purpose, depending on your aims and stage of exam revision. The Physics HL Popular Quizzes are designed for students who want to test themselves on a specific concept (e.g. Motion). The Physics HL Revision Ladder is designed to cover all Physics HL concepts and progress by difficulty of question (easiest to hardest). The Physics HL Mock Exam Papers are designed to simulate actual IB Physics Higher Level exam papers; their length, difficulty and composition of concepts.
What are the Physics HL Popular Quizzes?
Popular Quizzes are one of the three types of IB Physics HL Practice Exams that Revision Village offers. These short quizzes target specific concepts in the Physics HL course (e.g. Calorimetry) and range from 30 to 90 minutes in length; perfect for a single study session. The Physics HL Popular Quizzes are similar to the Questionbank section (focussing on specific concepts), however, students sometimes don’t have the time available to practice all of the questions in the Questionbank. This is where the Popular Quizzes section becomes very useful.
What is the Physics HL Revision Ladder?
Revision Village has pioneered a new type of Physics HL Practice Exam to support the exam revision process: the Revision Ladder. The Physics HL Revision Ladder has 10 levels which increase in difficulty. The questions in all levels of the Revision Ladder involve all concepts in the Physics HL course, therefore providing students a starting point with their end-of-course revision. Rather than beginning with Mock Exams or Past Papers (which are often too difficult to start with), students can start their end-of-course revision with the Revision Ladder, and build their confidence as they advance through each level.
What are the Physics HL Mock Exam Papers?
The Physics HL Mock Exam Papers are a set of Physics HL Practice Exam Papers designed to simulate the actual exams students will encounter at the end of their IB Physics Higher Level course. The Mock Exams are Physics HL Practice Exams that should be used once a student has finished learning all of the topics in the Physics HL course. It is recommended that students use the Physics HL Mock Exam Papers under exam conditions to gain familiarity and confidence on the difficulty and time duration of Physics HL exams.
