Questions about this guide

Yes. It clearly marks the HL-only extensions (such as the HL extensions within each level of analysis) so both SL and HL students study the right scope.

Yes. It devotes a section to research methods, ethics and data analysis, directly supporting Paper 3 of IB Psychology.
