IB mock exams

IB mocks, timed like the real thing.

Sit a timed paper built for your syllabus and level, with reading time and a clock that does not stop when you close the tab. Hand it in and get marked question by question on the 1 to 7 scale, whichever session you are counting down to.

Timed mocks are on Plus (20 a month) and Max (75 a month), with a 7 day Max trial for every new account.

How a mock runs

Pick your subject and level
Choose an IB subject and start. The paper is built for your syllabus at your level, not a generic question set, so the balance of question types matches the papers you will actually sit.
Reading time, then writing
The clock opens in reading time, then flips to writing on its own, the same rhythm as the real exam. It runs on the server, so shutting the laptop does not buy you extra minutes.
Marked question by question
Not one number at the end. Each question comes back with its own feedback, so you can see which ones cost you and go straight into a lesson on that topic.

Why timed practice moves your seven

The Diploma asks for breadth nothing else at school does: six subjects, three at higher level, examined in a single session. Knowing the content and producing it across back-to-back papers with a clock running are two different skills, and only one of them gets practised by rereading notes. The exam session is the one assessment you can rehearse as many times as you want, and most candidates rehearse it once, at the school mocks.

Those mocks carry weight beyond revision. University offers around the world run on IB predicted grades, your teachers set those predictions, and mock results are one of the main pieces of evidence behind them. The Exam Hall lets you rehearse before the rehearsal, under the same pressure, because a mock without the clock measures the wrong skill.

The marking is where the grade actually moves. A raw mark tells you almost nothing. Knowing you dropped every mark on the extended responses and none on the short answers tells you exactly what to do next. For essays and long answers, Edapt's marking grades your writing the way an examiner would, against the markbands. Not "good effort", but the marks you would have lost, and why.

Official past papers are worth having when you can get them, and with the IB that means the IB store or your school's own access, because the IB does not publish them free. That is exactly why unlimited fresh papers that get marked matter more here than in any other system. Use whatever official papers your school shares, and use these for everything in between.

A mock cycle that actually works

One mock is a snapshot. A cycle is a study method. This is the loop worth running from now until your session.

Rotate your six subjects rather than binging one. Two mocks a week, alternating HL and SL, beats a panicked block of six the week before.
Sit the paper under the clock, in one sitting, phone in another room. Half-timed mocks measure nothing.
Read the marking before you reread anything else. The extended response you fumbled is the syllabus telling you what to revise next.
Go into a lesson on the topic that cost you most, then answer practice questions on it from memory before you look anything up.
If your school shares official past papers, keep them for full-dress rehearsals close to the session, when you want the exact wording and mark scheme.

Common questions

Are these official IB past papers?

No. The IB does not publish its past papers free, it sells them through the IB store, and your school can share papers through its own IB access. Edapt's mocks come from a shared question bank plus questions generated against your syllabus, so you get unlimited fresh papers without buying old ones, and every paper you sit gets marked. If your school hands you official past papers, sit those too. They are the best picture of the real thing.

How does the timer work?

The paper opens in reading time, then flips to writing time on its own, the same rhythm as the real exam. The clock is anchored on the server, not in your browser, so closing the tab does not stop it. A mock you can quietly pause is a worksheet.

How is it marked?

Question by question, with feedback on each rather than a single score at the end. You can see exactly which questions cost you marks and go straight back into a lesson on that topic. For essays and extended responses, Edapt's marking grades your answer the way an examiner would, on your syllabus's own 1 to 7 scale, with the markband reasoning behind the grade and what to fix to climb.

Do mocks affect my predicted grades?

Usually, yes. University offers around the world run on IB predicted grades, your teachers set those predictions, and mock results are one of the main pieces of evidence behind them. Walking into the school mocks having already sat timed papers is the cheapest advantage available.

Which plan do I need?

Timed mock exams are on Plus (20 a month) and Max (75 a month), and marking for essays and long answers is on Max. Every new account starts with a 7 day Max trial, no card.

When should I start, May session or November session?

Whichever session you sit, earlier than feels comfortable. November candidates are weeks out and should be cycling full papers now. May candidates hit school mocks around December to February, and the students who walk into those calm are the ones who started sitting timed papers when topics finished, not the week before.
