IB Physics HL is an extension of IB Physics SL. Students in Physics HL work alongside SL students, doing the same assignments and tests.
The additional content in IB Physics HL is covered on a semi-independent study basis, with students working to complete the additional assignments as posted below. Physics HL students are assigned to Tutorial with the instructor, where they receive additional help. Physics HL students will also take a test on these extra topics.
Juniors who took Physics HL as juniors and need to review for the IB Exam: look in the Homework folder for a file called "Review Schedule Seniors" to keep your review on track.
