IB Past Papers: Worked Solutions (Legal Practice Guide)

Use this page to understand how to prepare with worked, examiner‑style solutions on RevisionDojo while staying fully compliant with IBO copyright and licensing.

Why we don’t host IBO past papers

• Copyright and licensing: Official IB past papers and mark schemes are copyrighted by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO). Redistributing them is not permitted without a license. RevisionDojo is independently developed and not endorsed by the IBO, so we do not host or republish those materials.

• What we provide instead: Original, mark‑scheme‑style worked solutions authored by examiner‑level writers and enhanced by Jojo AI, plus tools that let you ethically simulate papers and analyze your performance.

The compliant practice workflow

1) Get papers from an approved source: Use school‑provided or officially licensed past papers. 2) Sit them under exam conditions: Use Dojo’s timed Exam Mode to mirror real conditions and record topic‑level results. 3) Analyze answers with worked methods: Cross‑reference gaps using our free Questionbank and subject hubs; generate paper‑length sets with Test Builder for targeted retakes. 4) Stay aligned with policy: Review our Trust Center and Cookie Policy. For legal terms, see Terms of Service.

What this means in practice

• We will never post or mirror IBO PDFs or mark schemes.

• You can still get “as‑if mark scheme” reasoning: our worked solutions mirror how marks are awarded (command terms, method points, conventions) without reproducing IBO content.

• Best results: Combine school‑licensed papers for sitting, then use Dojo tools to diagnose errors and drill weak areas.

Introduction

Students search for “IB past papers with worked solutions” because step-by-step, mark‑scheme‑style reasoning is the fastest path from practice to mastery. This page explains exactly how RevisionDojo delivers ethical, exam‑aligned worked solutions for IB practice without redistributing official IBO materials, and how to use Dojo’s Questionbank, Exam Mode, and Math hubs to replicate real exam conditions.

What “worked solutions” means on Revision

Dojo

• Worked solutions on Dojo are original, step‑by‑step explanations that mirror how IB mark schemes award credit. They are created by examiner‑level authors and enhanced by our curriculum‑specific AI so each line matches the intent of IB criteria and command terms. See our approach in the Content Philosophy and the design of Jojo AI.

• These are not official IB mark schemes, and we do not host or redistribute IBO copyrighted past papers. Dojo is independently developed and not endorsed by the IBO, as stated across our site (e.g., Exam Mode).

• For coursework (EE/IA/TOK), Dojo also provides rubric‑calibrated feedback via the Coursework Grader and exemplar libraries; again, these are aligned to criteria but are not official grades.

How to practice IB past papers on Dojo (ethically, end‑to‑end)

1) Pick authentic, exam‑style questions by topic in the free Questionbank. Jojo AI provides instant, mark‑scheme‑style feedback on short and extended responses. 2) Simulate the paper under timed conditions with Exam Mode. You’ll get immediate scoring plus a breakdown by topic and question to target gaps. 3) Build custom, paper‑length sets that mirror the distribution you expect using the Test Builder (printable or online with instant feedback). 4) Deep‑dive into high‑yield subjects with dedicated hubs such as IB Mathematics AA and IB Mathematics AI for syllabus‑mapped notes, decks, and vast practice. 5) If your school provides official past papers, use them alongside Dojo: sit the paper, then use Questionbank/Exam Mode to analyze errors with worked solutions and criterion‑aligned guidance.

What you’ll see in Dojo worked solutions

• Clear statement of the required method (e.g., “Use logarithmic differentiation; quote chain rule”).

• Numbered steps with brief justifications keyed to command terms (define, derive, evaluate, discuss) and IB criteria expectations.

• Intermediate checks (units/significance/assumptions) to match examiner award points.

• Final answer formatting that reflects IB conventions (significant figures, exact vs approximate forms, notation).

Tools at a glance

How Dojo generates mark‑scheme‑style steps (accuracy and alignment)

• Curriculum‑specific training: Jojo AI is “carefully curated on thousands of curriculum‑specific datasets” so responses follow subject rubrics and command terms rather than generic reasoning (Jojo AI).

• Rubric‑calibration: The Coursework Grader demonstrates how criteria are operationalized—strand‑level breakdowns and targeted improvements—reflecting the same alignment principles used for worked solutions.

• Human‑in‑the‑loop: Dojo’s Content Philosophy describes examiner‑authored, student‑tested materials, with clarity and exam relevance vetted before publication.

Measurable outcomes schools and students care about

Independent survey results reported by Dojo indicate reduced exam stress and improved technique and mark‑scheme comprehension. For details, see the annual State of Learning Survey and the Schools program page describing cohort‑level gains and free teacher access.

For teachers and schools

• Free teacher Pro accounts, free bulk coursework grading, and departmental analytics are available via the Schools program.

• Use Dojo’s analytics to track topic/command‑term mastery and align feedback with IB criteria; see “Exam Mode” and “Questionbank” feature pages for how feedback is structured.

Legal and licensing position

• RevisionDojo is independently developed and not affiliated with or endorsed by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO). This disclaimer is restated across features such as Exam Mode and Notes.
