It’s that time of year when highlighters run dry, nerves start to kick in, and everyone’s running on coffee and countdowns. If you’re an IB Business teacher, you know just how much effort your students have put in and how much they still need a calm, focused push over the finish line.
That’s why I’ve created a free, easy-to-use resource with last-minute IB Business exam tips designed to help your students feel confident and ready.
Let’s be clear... this isn’t magic. These tips won’t replace revision or instantly transform a student’s predicted 4 into a surprise 7. But what they can do is make a real difference in the small, often-overlooked things that matter.
What’s inside the free exam tips sheet?
This printable download is full of reminders we’ve all said a hundred times in class, but it presents them in a student-friendly, visual format that’s perfect for the final days before exams. Things like:
What to do in the first five minutes of the exam
How to make marking easier for the examiner
Reminder about the 10 mark conclusion
Tips on data usage in longer questions
I’ve also added a short affirmation students can repeat to themselves while studying or during the exam if anxiety hits. It might sound small, but studies show that these kinds of affirmations can genuinely support performance by helping students stay calm and centered under pressure.
How to use this with your class
If you’re still seeing your students in class, consider spending 10–15 minutes going through the tips together. It’s a great chance to open a relaxed discussion, answer last-minute questions, and give them that final bit of encouragement.
If you’ve already wrapped up lessons, no worries — it’s just as easy to post this on your school’s digital platform or email it out. Either way, it’s a simple way to show your students that you’re still cheering them on.
Final thoughts
We all know the exam period can be intense, but it’s also a moment for students to show how far they’ve come. These tips are just one more way we can support them without cramming more content, but by reminding them that they do know what they’re doing.
