How it works
Practise, check, watch the teacher, improve
Every question follows the same loop, so you learn the method and how the marks are awarded, not just the answer.
Practise
Pick a syllabus topic and answer its multiple-choice and long questions one at a time, or sit a full mock exam. Questions are written in the style of Paper 1A, 1B and Paper 2.
Get marked instantly
Multiple choice is marked straight away. For long questions, open the mark scheme part by part and award yourself the marks you earned.
Watch the explanation
Most questions come with a short video in which an IB teacher or former IB student works through the method on screen. The others have a written worked solution.
Improve
With a free account your answers are saved, so you can come back to the questions you got wrong. Pin questions to revisit and master the formulas with the data booklet lessons.

What they say about Physics Study Town
I've been using Physics Study Town for a while now, and I can guarantee no other resource has as much content nor quality in their content, truly a life saver for Physics students.
Having access to not only so much content but having an IB examiner explain and walk you through every question to make sure you understand it is a life saver. There is nothing like Physics Study Town!
I really like that all the content is made by real professors, it feels more genuine and reliable. A lot of other resources just feel like they’re using AI-generated mark schemes, which isn’t super helpful. I’m not looking to pay for what basically feels like ChatGPT answers, so it’s nice to have something with real human input.
My son had been struggling with Physics and being able to understand how to approach problems. Since we discovered Physics Study Town he has become a new person.
This page has been of great help in preparing for my IB HL Physics exams, especially Paper 1, which I got a 6. I have raised my grades by 2 points! I recommend it without a doubt.
