Internal Assessment is one of the most important part of IB Diploma Physics course, which is compulsory for both Higher Level and Standard Level students. It helps students to exhibit the application of their skills and knowledge. The requirements and guidlines for both SL and HL students are the same. It contributes 20% to the final assessment.
