DP Mock Paper Builder

5
  • Three ways to build

    The DP Mock Paper Builder creates IB DP Paper 1A multiple-choice papers from past-paper patterns, syllabus topics or your own material.

  • See build options upfront

    Before you build, the DP Mock Paper Builder setup shows what each subject can be built from, so you choose with confidence.

  • Clear topic coverage

    A "What this paper is built from" panel shows the topics and question types each DP mock draws on, spread across several syllabus topics.

  • Three paper lengths

    In the DP Mock Paper Builder, choose a Checkpoint of 10 questions, a Section of 15 questions or a full IB DP Paper 1A.

  • DP Physics Paper 1A

    The DP Mock Paper Builder supports IB DP Physics, so Physics teachers can build Paper 1A multiple-choice mocks for their classes.

Mock Answer Keys

3
  • Answer key with explanations

    Every DP mock comes with an answer key written alongside the paper, giving the correct answer and why each wrong option is wrong.

  • Shuffled answer options

    The DP Mock Paper Builder shuffles answer options on every Paper 1A multiple-choice question it creates.

  • Built-in answer verification

    In the DP Mock Paper Builder, built-in answer verification flags any doubtful question, and student results for it are held until you release them.

Mocks From Your Material

3
  • Upload notes or past papers

    Build a DP mock from your own notes or a past paper, uploaded as PDF, Word, PowerPoint or photos, with each file checked first.

  • Follows your past paper

    From an uploaded past paper, the DP Mock Paper Builder follows its question patterns, topping up from the syllabus if the paper is short.

  • Cited question sources

    Every DP mock question built from your material cites its source, for example "Your paper · Q7, p. 3", so you can trace it back.

PYP Unit & Lesson Planner

3
  • Plan units of inquiry

    The PYP Unit & Lesson Planner helps teachers plan a unit of inquiry, its weeks and its lessons, with differentiation built in.

  • Weeks linked to lines of inquiry

    When you edit or reorder a unit's lines of inquiry in the PYP Unit & Lesson Planner, each week stays linked to the right line.

  • Shared planning log controls

    In shared PYP units, the unit owner can delete any entry in the shared planning log, while only an entry's author can edit it.

PYP Evidence Record

2
  • Evidence of learning packs

    The PYP Evidence Record collects evidence of learning in evidence packs, using your own assessment level words.

  • Example PYP evidence packs

    Three example PYP evidence packs are ready on your first visit, and opening one gives you an editable copy of your own.

Connect with AI

  • Koncepts in ChatGPT and Claude

    Connect with AI lets teachers connect Koncepts to ChatGPT or Claude and use their Koncepts tools directly from the chat.

  • PYP planning from chat

    Through the Koncepts connector, teachers can plan PYP units, weeks and lessons from inside ChatGPT or Claude.
