About the logo: The stork is considered the symbol of respect for parents. According to an old legend, the stork delivers food to its parents when they are no longer able to take care of themselves. Just like the storks, it is the responsibility of each generation to continue the valuable scientific heritage of our ancestors.

Exams
The exam questions in IBO require a deep conceptual understanding of biology, typically much beyond what regular biology school books cover at the upper secondary level.
The vast majority of IBO exam questions concern the application of biological knowledge in contexts that have been taken from recent biological research. In many of these tasks, students analyze - for example - data from biological experiments and then have to think about what conclusions can be drawn from these data.
One of the important aspects of the IBO 2022 is Bioinformatics, a broad scientific research field that combines Biology, Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, and Statistics to drive the analysis of the vast amount of data associated with modern bioscience.
Theory exam
The theory exam will be comprised of 2 test papers. Each will have 50 problems and 180 min to complete the test.
Practical exam
The topics of the Practical Exam of the IBO 2022 are:
- Biochemistry
- Bioinformatics
- Plant Physiology
- Zoology and Biosystematics
