Topic 5: The Cold War



Old IB History Exam Test Questions

Reminders:

  1. You will not know every question you see here in this packet and that is to be expected. I gave you all of the questions so that you can see that you will feel comfortable with a certain amount.
  2. We focused our studies really from Bismarck and German unification through Khrushchev. IB has teachers only focus on about 100 years…not all possible topics. Thus, you are better prepared to go into detail on particular questions and not just skim over your answers.
  3. When you take the test, cell phones, pagers, etc. are not allowed in the examining room.
  4. You must take black or blue ink pens for all written texts.
  5. Take time to plan your answers. This planning will help your answers be stronger.
  6. Remember that with Paper II, you answer TWO questions, each from a different section.
  7. Remember that with Paper III, you answer THREE questions.
