Resources for Paper 2: Options
An exam preparation course for all options:
John Iglar, who has taught IBDPCS in multiple international schools, created this video course to cover all options. It specifically focuses on exam preparation, going over exam questions (and answers!) for each option. (For those of you studying HL, the course also covers the current Case Study.) By request, he added a section to cover the IA (internal assessment), providing guidance and tips on maximizing the grade on each criterion. There is also an invaluable section on study techniques that are proven to be effective.
