This bundle contains 41 comprehensive checklist for the IB Biology (first exams 2025) syllabus. Each checklist contains a detailed breakdown of the content students are expected to know. The checklist use a RAG system (Red, Amber, Green) which students use to evaluate their understanding: Red: Students is not familiar with the objective and need to revise Amber: Student is somewhat familiar with the objective but still need to revise Green: Student is confident with the objective. These checklist are fantastic for supporting students with their revision for either end of year exams, end of topic revision or for their actual IB exams. Both word and pdf versions
