How are exams created? 

The process of creating the examinations begins up to two years before it is taken by candidates. 

IB Assessment Content Developers produce the content of IB assessment materials, which include examinations and mark schemes.

As part of this process, an exam editing meeting is held that involves the subject manager, component principal examiners and a selection of other examiners. They discuss the exams and markschemes before the assessments are finalized, ensuring that the assessment standard is at the correct level. 

The set of exams for each level is reviewed as a whole, to see how effectively course content and course objectives are covered. The group also critically reviews each question, looking at its suitability, accuracy and any potential for ambiguity or bias. They will ensure that markschemes are clear, concise and comprehensive for the examiners to follow.
