A free IB DP Physics end-of-topic test for Topic A.1 Kinematics, SL and HL, first assessment 2025: two complete question papers and two full mark schemes, with an assessment objective tagged on every mark. Not a cut-down teaser: the whole test, given away in full.
A composite mini-paper mirroring the IB examinations: multiple choice in Paper 1A register, a data-analysis question in Paper 1B register, and structured questions with mark allocations in Paper 2 register. SL is 39 marks in 50 minutes, HL is 46 marks in 60 minutes. Those are sitting times, not teaching time. SL is the HL paper with the higher-level items removed, so a mixed class sits the same questions at two lengths, and every question is fresh-written, so students who worked the A.1 packs meet unseen items.
What the paper asks:
- Section A (8 MCQ at SL, 10 at HL): defining velocity, sign conventions, distance against displacement, average against instantaneous speed, displacement as signed area under a velocity-time graph, and a thrown stone when drag matters.
- Section B (10 marks SL, 12 HL): a puck slowing on a level floor. Complete two v squared values, plot v squared against s, take the deceleration from the gradient of the best-fit line, and judge the uniform-deceleration claim against an anomalous reading.
- Section C (21 marks SL, 24 HL): a speedboat accelerating from rest, a T-shirt launcher firing at 24 m s⁻¹ and 35 degrees, and two balls dropped from a cliff, one reaching terminal speed.
Every understanding of Topic A.1 appears in at least one item, and both papers hit the guide’s 50/50 weighting of AO1 plus AO2 against AO3.
What’s included:
- SL Question Paper, 10 pages, with exam cover, instructions and a teacher marking grid
- SL Mark Scheme, 15 pages, with an AO balance table and indicative grade boundaries
- HL Question Paper, 11 pages
- HL Mark Scheme, 17 pages
Every marking point carries its AO tag and IB marking notation, every MCQ prints its key with each distractor explained, and the data question includes the model graph. Each document ships as a colour PDF and a printer-friendly B&W PDF. A print paper: no deck and no editable file. Grades 11-12 (ages 16-19).
