As there is a new IB Psychology curriculum (first exams May 2019) we do not have many past papers for students to use. Also, it’s actually against the IB’s copyright restrictions to post past papers on our store as they sell them through their website. However, you can get a good idea at the types of questions that might be asked by looking at the following questions in our exam question banks:
