TOK assessment
You are evaluated on two final assessment tasks in TOK. At the end of DP1, you’ll create an exhibition showing how “TOK manifests in the world around us”, and in DP2, you’ll write a 1600-word essay, offering “clear, coherent, and critical analysis”.
Follow the links below to take you to tips, strategies, and support on how to approach the assessment tasks successfully.
