A bit more about difficulty levels (click)
Basic: Simple, usually one-step or definition-style questions to help you revise the basics.
Moderate: At the level of easier IB exam questions. Slightly more challenging than one-plane problems.
Challenging: Typical, medium-level exam-style questions to help you solidify your knowledge.
Difficult: This is how more challenging IB exam questions look like. If you can solve these with ease, you are in a good shape :)
Black Hole: Extra challenge for those with lightspeed thinking! Very few questions on your exam will be this difficult.
