IB Physics SL Question Bank

SLSLHLHL

Practise IB Physics at Standard Level for first assessment 2025. Work through SL-tagged Paper 1A multiple-choice, Paper 1B data-based and experimental questions, and Paper 2 short-answer and extended responses. Keep practice within SL content and use the available mark guidance to check physical reasoning, calculations, units, graphs and uncertainty; the scientific investigation is a separate internal assessment.

1,535 questions in this syllabus scope, with question parts counted together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Paper 1A and Paper 1B are completed in 1 hour 30 minutes. Paper 1A has 25 multiple-choice marks and Paper 1B has 20 data-based and experimental-work marks, for 45 marks in total.

Paper 2 lasts 1 hour 30 minutes and carries 50 marks. It uses short-answer and extended-response questions on Standard Level material.

The production question bank contains SL-tagged Paper 1A, Paper 1B and Paper 2 questions from the first-assessment-2025 structure, with stored mark guidance.

No. The scientific investigation is a separate internal assessment worth 20% of the overall grade. This page is for written-paper practice and mark-guidance review.

IB Physics SL revision questions by topic

Keep the set within SL objectives. A theme shared with HL does not mean every objective in that theme belongs to SL.

Choose a theme, topic or objective in the syllabus navigation to narrow the questions. Attempt the available question before opening its answer guidance. For a motion question, distinguish displacement from distance, choose the relevant graph or equation and keep the sign convention consistent.

Use the displayed availability and access information to understand what you can open. A syllabus entry does not mean every question or solution is publicly accessible. This topic-organised collection is not a complete archive of official past papers.

Physics SL question bank FAQs

Use the syllabus navigation to locate a topic and its objectives. The questions shown, and any available filters, depend on your account access.

Compare the physical model and reasoning before the final number. Check units, signs, assumptions and the link between each step. If you guessed correctly, retry a related problem without the answer visible.

Yes. Open the Physics HL question bank using the link on this page. Its syllabus scope differs; do not assume that changing the level leaves the same set of objectives selected.

Open a topic and choose an available question. Use its supplied answer guidance to check the physical model, working and conclusion after your own attempt. Availability and access are shown with the question; a topic listing does not promise that every solution is publicly accessible.

Use an older question only after matching its content and required skills to a current syllabus objective at your level. Topic numbering, options and paper structure can differ, so do not treat an old paper as a current mock exam. Keep useful questions for focused practice, and use the official specimens for first examinations in 2025 to check the current Paper 1A, Paper 1B and Paper 2 format.
