IB History demands the evaluation of historical evidence, analysis of multiple perspectives and engagement with historiographical debate.
Evaluating sources using OPVL (Origin, Purpose, Value, Limitation).
Building thesis-driven historical arguments backed by evidence.
Comparing and evaluating different historians' interpretations.
Independent historical research and source evaluation for the IA.
IB History focuses on 20th-century world history alongside regional options and in-depth case studies.
Source-based questions
Essay (world history topics)
Essay (regional history, HL only)
The History IA (Historical Investigation) is an independent piece of historical research of up to 2200 words.
IB History helps students understand the past in order to make sense of the present and the future, and develops critical thinking and academic writing. It is an excellent foundation for students aiming at law, international relations, journalism or political science.
Our lessons analyse historical events through evidence and competing perspectives, strengthening essay writing, source evaluation and argumentation.
IB History tutoring at TestPrep Europe covers Prescribed Subjects (Paper 1), World History Topics (Paper 2) and HL Regional Options (Paper 3). Paper 1 source-skills, Paper 2 comparative essays and HL Paper 3 in-depth essays are drilled separately, with the Internal Assessment (a historical investigation) scaffolded under academic-integrity guidance.
HataPaper 1 source questions answered out of order.
DüzeltmePaper 1 has a fixed question structure (origin/purpose/value/limitation, comparison, integrated response). Skipping the structure forfeits easy marks.
HataPaper 2 essays that describe rather than argue.
DüzeltmePaper 2 expects sustained argument with comparative evidence across regions or events. Description alone caps the response.
HataHL Paper 3 essays without depth.
DüzeltmePaper 3 specifically rewards in-depth knowledge. Surface-level Paper-2-style answers under-score.
HataHistorical Investigation without method reflection.
DüzeltmeSection 3 (reflection on method) is a distinct rubric component. Skipping it is a predictable, costly loss.
HataHistoriography ignored at HL.
DüzeltmeHigher bands reward engagement with historians' interpretations. Single-narrative answers cap.

Regional Option + Historical Investigation
Paper 1, 2, 3 timed
OPVL and source comparison are taught as a distinct skill set, not as a Paper-1-only afterthought.
Paper 2 marks reward structured cross-region or cross-event comparison. We teach the comparative habit from week 1.
Section 1 (sources), Section 2 (investigation) and Section 3 (reflection) are scaffolded but the investigation remains the student's own work.
Very. Paper 3 carries a large share of HL marks and rewards genuine depth in the chosen regional option. It cannot be drilled in the final term.
Less than at HL but still rewarded. Top SL bands engage with historians' interpretations even when not strictly required.
A focused, contestable question with accessible primary or secondary sources. We help scope IA questions during the diagnostic phase of tutoring.
HL students typically book 60–90 hours across two years; SL less. We start with a free diagnostic.
