IB Diploma Programme Chemistry (first exams 2025) revision
Complete SL and HL coverage of the new IB Chemistry guide (first exams 2025), with misconception-targeted questions for every understanding.
What PinPoint covers for IB Diploma Chemistry
Every statement in the IBDP-CHEM syllabus is broken into its own set of exam-style questions, so nothing is left untested. Coverage includes:
- Structure 1–3 — particulate nature, bonding, classification
- Reactivity 1–3 — energetics, kinetics, equilibrium, redox
- SL and HL (AHL) content tagged separately
Every IB Diploma Chemistry topic, covered
PinPoint has exam-style questions for all 12 IBDP-CHEM topics:
Structure
- Structure 1 — Models of the particulate nature of matter
- Structure 2 — Models of bonding and structure
- Structure 3 — Classification of matter
Reactivity
- Reactivity 1 — What drives chemical reactions?
- Reactivity 2 — How much, how fast and how far?
- Reactivity 3 — What are the mechanisms of chemical change?
Skills & tools
- Experimental techniques
- Technology
- Mathematics
- Inquiry — exploring and designing
- Inquiry — collecting and processing data
- Inquiry — concluding and evaluating
How you'll revise IB Diploma Chemistry
Practise by topic
Pick any topic in the IBDP-CHEM syllabus and answer exam-style hinge questions, one concept at a time.
Find your misconceptions
Each wrong answer reveals the precise misconception behind it — not just a red cross.
Correct on the spot
A targeted correction step fixes the exact mistake while it's fresh.
Lock it in
Spaced repetition brings weak points back until every statement turns green.
Lessons for every syllabus point
460+ guided lessons cover the full IB Diploma Chemistry syllabus — one per statement. Read the explanation, test your understanding, then go into the question bank knowing exactly what each statement is asking.
Explanation first
Each lesson opens with a clear, concise explanation of exactly what the syllabus statement requires — no more, no less. You always know what you're being asked to know.
Checks for understanding
Embedded questions interrupt the lesson at the key moment, while the material is still in front of you. Low-stakes, immediate feedback — so you catch gaps before the question bank does.
Interactive diagrams
Many lessons include diagrams you can manipulate — label a structure, drag a particle, adjust a variable. Building the concept in your hands beats re-reading it every time.
Simulations
Some topics include a full simulation: change a condition, observe what happens, explain the result. Designed so you can't just memorise an outcome — you have to understand the mechanism.
Lessons are available free inside the app — sign up to access them alongside the question bank.
IB Diploma Chemistry revision — your questions
Does PinPoint follow the new IB Chemistry guide for first exams 2025?+
Yes. PinPoint is built around the current IB Diploma Chemistry guide, organised by the Structure and Reactivity themes, with 398 understandings each turned into exam-style questions.
Does it cover both SL and HL Chemistry?+
Yes. Standard Level and Higher Level (Additional Higher Level) content is tagged separately, so HL students see the full set and SL students are never shown HL-only material.
Can PinPoint help with IB Chemistry Paper 1 multiple choice?+
Directly. PinPoint's format is exam-style multiple choice with distractors based on real student misconceptions — the same skill Paper 1 tests.
