Maps IB Group 3 subjects
Economy SL & amp; HL
The syllabus of Economics subjects is divided into four parts - microeconomics, macroeconomics, international economics, and development economics - all of which weigh more or less the same. All sections must be studied by all candidates, and questions of all will be submitted in the exam. Diploma Courses The course of economics is noted to focus more on development than other economics courses at the pre-university level, and these are all part of the international perspective of the IB program.
The final exam consists of three papers for HL and two for SL. Paper 1 consists of several selected questions but has now been changed to answer one question from microeconomics and one question from macroeconomics, for each section one question worth 10 marks and the other worth 15 marks. Paper 2 involves answering two data response questions, one from the international economy and the other from a development economy, each question of data response worth 20 marks. Paper 3 involves calculation (only HL is required to do this paper). The internal assessment includes three recent news item comments that involve the use of economic concepts and terminology. The time allowed for each exam is a 90-minute strict limit on Paper 1 and Paper 2 (both SL and HL) and 1 hour for Paper 3 (HL only).
Psychology SL & amp; HL
The focus of this course is the systematic study of behavior and mental processes. The program examines three major perspectives as influences on human behavior: biological, cognitive and sociocultural. This includes an optional topic check that includes health psychology, abnormal psychology, developmental psychology, sports psychology and the psychology of human relations. Eventually all students must conduct their own experimental study as an internal assessment. Students on a higher level learn two options while the standard level students learn only one.
Each perspective should be explored using the following four compulsory topics:
- development and cultural context The
- template
- methodology application
- .
The objectives of the psychology course at HL and in SL are to:
- interprets and/or performs psychological research to apply the knowledge generated for the benefit of humans
- ensuring that ethical practices and responsibilities are implemented in a psychological investigation
- develop an understanding of biological, social and cultural influences on human behavior
- develop an understanding of the different theoretical processes used to interpret behavior, and to realize how this process leads to the construction and evaluation of psychological theories
- develop awareness of how the application of psychology in everyday life comes from psychological theories
- develop an appreciation of the eclectic nature of psychology
- understand and/or use various psychological inquiry methods.
First, students must choose an experiment to imitate. When conducting an experiment, IB requires that certain ethical guidelines be followed. After the experiment is complete, a written report must be generated by detailing the experiment. Students are required for an external assessment, given in May or November; the second year of the course is specifically focused for the development of this assessment in which students are introduced to various studies and students are expected to draw connections between them. The test is divided into two parts, called "papers". Using internal and external assessments, the IB calculates a value of one to seven.

Rating
There are three assessment components in SL and four in HL.
External ratings
- Paper 1 (60 marks weighing 40% of the course for SL and 25% for HL, 1 hour 30 minutes) - Both SL and HL candidates sit on the same paper to assess their knowledge of the core theme.
- Part A (45 signs, questions 1-4) consists of four mandatory questions for short answers, one in each of the four topics in the theme. The term of the command indicates the required depth of answer (eg evaluation indicates that it needs a higher depth than define ).
- Part B (15 signs, questions 5-7) consists of three extended response questions that require deeper care than in Part A, and are required to answer one. Questions are based on core themes but may be related to optional themes as well.
- Paper 2 (40 marks on SL and 60 in HL, both weighed up to 35%, 1 hour 20 minutes in SL, 2 hours in HL) - This paper assesses the knowledge of the optional themes being studied. Basically, SL and HL students sit on the same paper except that SL candidates answer two questions and HL candidates answer three of the themes studied, each for 20 marks. The paper consists of 14 questions, two in each theme, and may also be accompanied by a resource booklet for specific questions. Each question has at least three parts - the previous section is a short answer question that may or may not require depth. The last section is a 10-mark extended response question that requires more depth.
- Paper 3 (only HL: 25 marks weighing 20% ââonly, 1 hour) - HL Candidates are assessed on the HL extension in this paper, but knowledge of the core theme is assumed. Students choose one question to answer from three choices. Each question has two parts worth 10 and 15 marks each. Both of these sections require profound essay writing and writing. The first part tests understanding and application, while the second test synthesizes and evaluates.

Internal ratings
- Field work (30 marks weighing 25% of the course for SL and 20% for HL, 20 hours) - All candidates are required to complete a fieldwork investigation based on one or more themes within the syllabus and write 2500-report word based on primary data collection, data processing and evaluating fieldwork. Secondary data can be collected but only play a smaller part in fieldwork. Reports are marked according to the seven criteria by the teacher and then sent for external moderation. His report demanded the same from SL and HL.
Internal assessment accounts for 25% of the value in SL and 20% in HL.
Anticipated Subject
In some cases, Standard-level subjects can be studied in one year, compared to two years for higher level subjects. It gives students more time to study in their final year of school, as well as the option to spend more time on higher level subjects. All anticipated subjects are studied at the standard level.
