05—Tips

French B Exam Tips from Top Scorers

Decide audience and register first

Pick the right text type, then tu or vous — half of Criterion C is conventions and register.

Develop, do not list

Back each idea with a reason or example and link with connectors for Criteria A and B.

Read the questions first

In listening and reading, read every question before you start so you know what to listen and look for.

FAQ

French B Mock Exams — FAQ

Are IB French B mock exams available?
Yes — full Paper 1 and Paper 2 mocks at both SL and HL, on top of the exam-style practice built into the French B study units and exam vault.
How is French B assessed?
Paper 1 is one written task (25%), Paper 2 is listening plus reading (50%), and the individual oral is internally assessed (25%). The weightings are the same at SL and HL.
What is the difference between the SL and HL mocks?
The papers are the same shape at both levels. HL gives you a longer Paper 1 task (450–600 words in 1 hour 30 minutes against 250–400 in 1 hour 15), a full hour of listening rather than 45 minutes, and denser reading texts.
