Internal assessment is an integral part of the course and is compulsory for both SL and HL students. It enables students to demonstrate the application of their skills and knowledge, and to pursue their personal interests without the time limitations and other constraints that are associated with written examinations.
Students will investigate a published study, theory or model relevant to their learning in psychology by conducting an experimental investigation and reporting the findings. The requirements will be explained in more detail in the internal assessment details document below.
