IB's Guide to the Exploration - SL
IB's Guide to the Exploration - HL
Note: The SL and HL exploration rubrics are identical with one exception - Criterion E, Use of Mathematics. The HL rubric is stricter and includes 3 elements not included in SL:
A 4 or higher requires the expected level of Sophistication
A 5 or higher requires the expected level of Sophistication and Rigor
A 6 or higher requires the expected level of Sophistication, Rigor and Precision
Read the guide carefully, particularly the rubric!
