IB Diploma notes

Subjects are written subtopic by subtopic, one page for every section of the guide; until a subject's pages are out, its first unit is here — the theory, worked examples, a practice test and its mark scheme. Group 6 is assessed by coursework, so its three subjects carry an assessment guide and a criteria checklist instead.
