IB DP English B HL - Practice listening assessment

(30)
This is a resource I created for my HL students to practice for Paper 2 (Listening). They are based on 4 minute interviews with Trevor Noah and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie so that they can practice their conceptual understanding (variance). I have attached the assessment as both PDF and Word, and the mark scheme is attached as well. EDIT: I have fixed some errors in both versions, concerning discrepancy between mark scheme and answers, and seemingly contradictory questions.

Practice exams for Edexcel IGCSE English Lit and English B

These are two hour long exams that I created for my end of term assessments. They follow the standard exam structure, although part 2 has been left out for the most part and so the English B exam is only 2 hours instead of 3. The IGCSE mark scheme can be used to mark the extended answers, and the reading comprehension questions are quite straightforward and easy to mark (hopefully!). All texts are borrowed from the internet, but the questions and essay topics are mine.
