  • 2Experimental design (IV/DV, controls)
  • 3Ethical considerations
  • 4Descriptive and inferential statistics
  • 5Comparing results to the original study

Hızlı cevap

What is IB Psychology tutoring?

IB Psychology tutoring covers the three approaches — biological, cognitive, sociocultural — plus options (such as abnormal, developmental, health, human relationships). Paper 1 (approaches), Paper 2 (options) and HL Paper 3 (research methods) are drilled separately, with the Internal Assessment (an experimental study) scaffolded under academic-integrity guidance.

  • Three approaches with research-method critique baked in
  • School's chosen Paper 2 option drilled in depth
  • HL Paper 3 research-methods technique practised on past-paper stimuli
  • Experimental IA scaffolded with ethical and academic-integrity safeguards

Common IB Psychology mistakes

HataStudies cited without method critique.

DüzeltmeIB Psychology rewards critical evaluation of method (sampling, generalisability, ethics, ecological validity). Description alone caps the response.

HataPaper 1 essays that ignore the command term.

Düzeltme'Discuss', 'evaluate', 'contrast' all have specific shapes. Mismatch between command term and structure is a predictable loss.

HataOption (Paper 2) answers using core studies.

DüzeltmePaper 2 expects studies relevant to the option topic. Recycled core studies often miss the rubric.

HataIA with weak operationalisation.

DüzeltmeIndependent and dependent variables must be tightly operationalised. Vague variables can't be rescued at analysis.

HataEthical issues mentioned only as boilerplate.

DüzeltmeEthics is examined seriously. Generic ethics paragraphs without engagement under-score.

How TestPrep Europe teaches IB Psychology

Method critique woven into every study

Every key study is taught with its method critique (sampling, generalisability, validity, ethics) so critical evaluation becomes automatic in essays.

Command-term structures

Each command term gets a structural template so students don't mismatch shape and prompt under timed conditions.

IA with ethics and integrity

IA hypothesis, sampling and procedure are scaffolded with explicit ethical safeguards. Final written work remains the student's own work.

Sıkça sorulan sorular

Is HL Psychology much harder than SL?

HL adds Paper 3 (research methods on a stimulus) and additional approach content. The conceptual jump is real but predictable.

Do I need prior psychology?

No. Many students take IB Psychology without prior coursework. Strong reading and analytical-writing habits are the bigger predictors.

How is the IA structured?

An experimental replication or partial replication, written up in a fixed format. Final written work remains the student's own work.

How many tutoring hours are typical?

HL students typically book 50–80 hours across two years; SL less. We start with a free diagnostic.
