How to answer the exam questions

We’re excited to share a new (and free) resource created to support teachers and students in the new IB Diploma Psychology course: “How to answer exam questions.”

This document will demystify the exam requirements across Papers 1, 2, and 3. It provides clear, structured guidance on how to approach every question.

  • Step-by-step structures for each question
  • Tips for content selection and writing focus

The document is provided in Word format so you can copy and edit it to suit your purposes or share it directly with your students. A suggested use: Give a copy to students when they are doing practice exams so they can see exactly how to structure their responses.

We hope this document helps make exam preparation a little smoother for everyone. Feel free to share it with colleagues.


If you’re looking for even more comprehensive support, check out our book IB Diploma Psychology – Ten Mock Examinations with Model Answers. It includes TEN full mock exams (Papers 1, 2, and 3) complete with high-scoring sample responses for every question. Use it to plan your mocks, guide student revision, and sharpen your understanding of exactly what to teach for exam success.
