IB History Revision / Resources
Old IB History Syllabus (examinations Summer 2009): scroll down this page. New IB History Syllabus (examinations Summer 2010): click here.
We teach Higher Level and Standard Level candidates in one class, over two years. So we choose topics which overlap Paper 2&3 as far as possible. The topics highlighted in blue link to worksheets, simulations and IB History Revision resources. These will continue to grow over the coming months. If you have any questions / suggestions, or have an alternative model you would like to share, please contact me using the feedback form. You may also wish to check out the Interactive Revision Games section of this site, and the Testimonies page!
The IB History ExaminationPaper 1 of the IB History examination...focuses heavily on the use of sources as historical evidence. Students will choose to answer questions in this IB History paper relating to just one of the following three 'Prescribed Subjects'
I have produced a handout: Student Tips: IB History Sourcework.Paper 2 of the IB History examination...is essay based. Students are presented with six IB History Topic areas, and in each of these they are presented with four possible essay questions. Students only have to answer two questions in total from this IB History paper, but they cannot be from within the same IB History Topic area. The six IB History Topic areas are as follows: 1. Causes, Practices and Effects of War 2. Nationalist and Independence Movements, Decolonisation and Challenges Facing New States 3. The Rise and Rule of Single-Party States 4. Peace and Co-operation: international organisations and multiparty states 5. The Cold War 6. The State and its Relationship with Religion and with Minorities Student Tips: IB History Essay Skills.Student Tips: "Challenging the assumptions of the question" in Level 7 of the mark scheme.Paper 3 of the IB History examination...(for Higher Level Students only) is again essay based. For this IB History paper, students study one Regional Option, or a period of about a hundred years within a specific region. The region chosen is usually, but by no means always, the one in which the school is located. The available regions are Europe, the Americas, Africa, East Asia and West Asia.

The IB History Syllabus also allows for the study of other topics, which I do not currently teach at IB but which I have prepared materials for if you wish to use them:
The Internal Assessment at IB HistoryThe Internal Assessment at IB History level is an individual study which accounts for 20% of final mark for Higher Level students, and 25% for Standard Level students. It is a study of 1500-2000 word essay on a topic of the student's own choice. Student Handout: How should the IB History Internal Assessment be structured?
