Frequently Asked Questions

Revision Village has created three types of IB Physics SL Practice Exams: Popular Quizzes, a Revision Ladder, and Mock Exam Papers. Each of the Physics SL Practice Exam types have a different purpose, depending on your aims and stage of exam revision. The Physics SL Popular Quizzes are designed for students who want to test themselves on a specific concept (e.g. Kinematics). The Physics SL Revision Ladder is designed to cover all Physics SL concepts and progress by difficulty of question (easiest to hardest). The Physics SL Mock Exam Papers are designed to simulate actual IB Physics Standard Level exam papers; their length, difficulty and composition of concepts.
Popular Quizzes are one of the three types of IB Physics SL Practice Exams that Revision Village offers. These short quizzes target specific concepts in the Physics SL course (e.g. Gravitational Fields) and range from 30 to 90 minutes in length; perfect for a single study session. The Physics SL 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 as a survey of each of the important concepts within a subtopic.
Revision Village has pioneered a new type of Physics SL Practice Exam to support the exam revision process: the Revision Ladder. The Physics SL Revision Ladder has 10 levels which increase in difficulty. The questions in all levels of the Revision Ladder involve all concepts in the Physics SL 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.
The Physics SL Mock Exam Papers are a set of Physics SL Practice Exam Papers designed to simulate the actual exams students will encounter at the end of their IB Physics Standard Level course. The papers are designed to match the structure of the exams for the 2025 syllabus, and so give valuable practice with the new format that is not found on older IB past papers. The Mock Exams are Physics SL Practice Exams that should be used once a student has finished learning all of the topics in the Physics SL course. It is recommended that students use the Physics SL Mock Exam Papers under exam conditions to gain familiarity and confidence with the difficulty and time duration of Physics SL exams.
