Preparing for this qualification · Préparation à cette qualification
- SL: option Paper 1 90 min 35%, core Paper 2 75 min 40%, fieldwork 25%. HL: Paper 1 135 min 35%, Paper 2 75 min 25%, extension Paper 3 60 min 20%, fieldwork 20%.

Teaching coverage still needed · Couverture pédagogique encore nécessaire
- Every selected geographic option and its objective-level guide needs dedicated teaching; full global-change/global-interactions depth and real fieldwork evidence remain.
