Every IB English Past Paper Available Free and Official
Every IB English Past Paper Available Free and Official  SAT / ACT Prep Online Guides and Tips  In this article, I cover IB English Literature SL/HL, IB English Language and Literature SL/HL, and IB Literature and Performance SL. These are the core language A options for English speakers. When preparing for one of these IB English exams, you should take a practice test. Where can you find IB English past papers, free and paid? I will answer that question and let you know how to get the most out of these past papers.    Where to Find Free IB English Past Papers  The IB has been cracking down on illegally uploaded past papers for the past few years, so a lot of previous sources are no longer available. IB has however, uploaded a few official past exams that you can view for free online. Below are links to the IB English Past Papers.  English A: literature higher level/standard level: papers 1  2  English A1 higher level: paper 2  English standard level A2: paper 2    I havenââ¬â¢t seen any unofficial IB English exams (ones created by someone that is not from the IBO). If you find any, donââ¬â¢t use them for practice!You need REAL IB English past papers to get realistic practice.    Where to Find Paid IB English Past Papers  The only safe and reliable place to buy IB English past papers is from the IBO at the Follet IB Store. The IBO sells past IB English Literature SL papers, IB English Literature HL papers, IB English Language and Literature SL papers, IB English Language and Literature HL papers,and IB Literature and Performance SLpapers from 2013 onward. The site is somewhat hard to navigate, but using the search bar several times got me where I wanted to be eventually.      How to Get the Most of Each Past Paper  One complete test will take you 3 hours for SL or 4 hours for HL. If you are going to invest that much time, you need to be maximizing your learning. To do so, follow these rules.    Rule 1: Take Paper 1 and Paper 2 on Separate Days  IBO splits up all of the IB English tests over two days. You should too. That way you get realistic practice, mimicking the actual testing schedule.    Rule 2: Time Yourself  You need to get used to the timing. Here is the time allowed:  English Literature SL    Paper 1- 1 hour 30 minutes  Paper 2- 1 hour 30 minutes    English Literature HL    Paper 1- 2 hours  Paper 2- 2 hours    English Language and Literature SL    Paper 1- 1 hour 30 minutes  Paper 2- 1 hour 30 minutes    English Language and Literature HL    Paper 1- 2 hours  Paper 2- 2 hours    Literature and Performance SL    Paper 1- 1 hour 30 minutes  Paper 2- 1 hour 30 minutes    Make sure you stick to this exact timing. Donââ¬â¢t give yourself any extra time. Otherwise, you will not be prepared for the pacing of the actual test.       Research to Action / Flickr    Rule 3: Review With the Mark Scheme  After completing your full test, review your answers. You must review to learn from your errors and not make them on the actual test.  Take an hour to review. While this may seem like you are wasting time that you could be spending on other practice, itââ¬â¢s not. You need to emphasize the quality of your practice and no the quantity of practice. Iââ¬â¢d rather you take two practice tests with good review than eight tests with no review.    Whatââ¬â¢s Next?
