As we wrap up the IB DP2 mock exams today, February 5, at Strothoff International School, we take a moment to reflect on the significance of this crucial academic experience. These exams, held from January 27 to February 5, have provided our students with an invaluable opportunity to test their knowledge, refine their skills, and build confidence ahead of the final International Baccalaureate (IB) examinations.

The Purpose and Benefits of Mock Exams
