Please note that the IB has announced to Heads of School and DP Coordinators that the above changes will also apply to the examinations in May 2022 and November 2022.

The main aims and overview of the Paper 1 assessment are as follows:

Promotes a holistic approach to IB Business Management

Assesses all 5 topics of the IB BM syllabus

Section C: Extended response (essay) question (HL Only)

Carries 30% in the examination for SL and 35% for HL

Demands extensive analytical and critical thinking skills.

The pre-issued case study

Each exam session, the IB releases a pre-issued case study for the external examinations. This is made available on the PRC (Programme Resources Centre) - speak with your IB Coordinator if you are not sure how to access this resource.

For the May examination, the pre-issued case study is made available in February. For the November examination, the pre-issued case study is available on the PRC in August.

The case study is based on a hypothetical organization, which covers all 5 units in the syllabus. It can act as a useful stimuls for students when revising for both Paper 1 and Paper 2. Note: students must not use this organization for their CUEGIS essay in Paper 2, Section C!

FAQ 1: So, what would happen if a student decided to write about the organization featured in Paper 1 for their CUEGIS essay in Section C of Paper 2?

The CUEGIS essay in Paper 2 must be based on a real-world organization. The organization featured in the Paper 1pre-issued case study is a fictitious business. Therefore, students will be penalized if they choose to use the business organization featured in Paper 1!

Note: Schools are responsible for providing the formulae sheet + a clean copy of the pre-issued case study for students in the external exam. It is therefore useful to practice this by setting students a mock/trial exam for Paper 1.

Paper 1 – Standard Level

Section A: answer 2 of 3 structured questions

10 marks per question; there are no AO3 questions in Section A

Additional unseen additional material in Section B

Section B: answer the compulsory structured question worth 20 marks

Total = 40 marks

Time = 1 hour 15 mins examination

FAQ 2: What happens if a student answers all three questions in Section A?

This is not a recommended strategy! However, in such a case, the examiner will mark all three answers and award the top two marks. However, there is an opportunity cost if answering all three questions in Section A because students are likely to run out of time for Section B of the exam.

Paper 1 – Higher Level

Additional unseen material will be provided in the actual Paper 1 exam

Answer the compulsory question worth 20 marks

HL extension topics may be assessed

Total = 60 marks

Time = 2 hour 15 mins examination

FAQ 3: How do the HL and SL Paper 1 examinations differ from each other?

Sections A and B are very similar for SL and HL, although the latter can include HL extension or HL only topics as mentioned in the Guide (page 54). The main difference is Section C for HL only students, which is a single question worth 20 marks. This requires students to answer a business strategy question based on the pre-released material and the additional stimulus materials in Section B and Section C of the examination.

 ATL Activity - What do you know about the Paper 1 assessment?

What do you know about the Paper 1 assessment? Use any resource you have access to (such as the IB Business Management Guide) to answer the following questions:

1Which items must a school provide for students in the Paper 1 Business Management exam?

2What is tested in Section C of Paper 1 (HL Only)?

3Are there any AO3 questions in Part A of the exam paper? or ).

4Can quantitative questions appear in Section B of the Paper 1 exam?

5What is the rule on the use of calculators in the Paper 1 exam?

6What is the weighting of the Paper 1 exam for HL? SL? grade boundaries for the Paper 1 examination, so schools are strongly advised to devote adequate time to review and revise the syllabus through the context of the organization and information contained in the pre-issued case study.
