IB Physics HL Paper 2 Predicted Paper 2027
A predicted Paper 2 for the May 2027 IB Physics HL session. Built on the syllabus first examined in 2025: the old options are gone, while rigid body mechanics and special relativity now sit in the HL core and stars in theme E, so they can appear in any paper.
Sit it under timed conditions, then get every answer marked and a predicted grade against typical boundaries. Generate a fresh paper whenever you like: the questions change each time.
Most students start seriously in January. Starting now means meeting each topic twice before the exam rather than once.
New: the full May 2027 set, Paper 1A, 1B and 2 with a mark scheme, as a PDF. Jump to it

Free, and nothing to fill in first. Every paper is composed from real IB past exam questions.
Sit the Physics HL paper under exam conditions
150 minutes, one sitting, the clock running. Sitting it in pieces gives you a score, not a rehearsal.
Get your Physics HL paper marked
This paper comes without a mark scheme: the questions are renumbered, so there is nothing to mark it against on your own. Book a session and we go through it together: the marks lost by topic, the grade it would score today, and what stands between that and a 7.
