Sandwich Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Well Past papers are DEFINITELY worth it.More useful than past papers in terms of format are Questionbanks I used them for my sciences & Maths and they were really useful.However, it's not really the smartest idea to get them yourself because it's just such a big amount of money and there are plenty of other ways to get papers. Do a bit of internet searching and you should find tonnes of past papers, and there are even Questionbanks hanging around to download if you search hard enough. Of course port of call numero uno to get hold of papers should be your school. I don't know of any school which can't supply you with past papers themselves (for free) -- and a lot of them have Questionbanks too. Ask your teachers for them and see what happens, but I'll bet they have some they can give you for no cost at all.I would advise exploring all routes before shelling out that much cash (although in case it crops up, I'd just point out that as it's technically illegal to distribute them, we have no past papers on IB Survival so you'll have to do your own trawling through web pages). The price of papers from the IB themselves is ridiculous 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dessskris Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) Question papers and mark schemes are available on the net. I am sure your teachers have them too.and I think every year they mark it differently right? as in, there is no standard answer. it depends on who is marking your paper: lenient or strict.
