Hi there! I'm wondering how long the IB English Paper 1 exam is. I need to plan my study schedule, and it would be really helpful to know the exam duration. Can anyone help out?
Hello! The IB English Paper 1 exam is typically 1 hour and 30 minutes long. During this time, you'll be required to analyze one or two unseen texts and answer a few questions based on your understanding of the passage(s). I recommend practicing close-reading techniques under time pressure (set a timer on your phone, for example). This way, you can ensure you're able to provide thorough and thoughtful responses within the given time frame. Good luck with your exam preparations!
