I'm starting IB basically in three weeks and I found this video a couple of months ago and I keep coming back to it - the advice is so helpful, it's not just repeating what everyone is saying and it's also no bullshit. Besides that, you are really easing my anxiety because I chose maths AA HL and I'm not THAT good at maths, but if you didn't die after the hardest available HLs AND a Bio AP than maybe I'll be fine.

ESS is so bad in my school because the teacher literally never taught us the main parts of ess which is in topic 1.. and taught every other topic horribly. She tried to convince us that it was our fault for bad grades but finally she got fired in D2. A year of ESS gone to waste so I’ll definitely be looking at your notes too 😂 thank you

The content was fine, but exam questions were hard. The only way to get better is to practice. As for IAs, just find a topic you like, and you should be fine. Again, you don't need to read many online exemplars to find a topic. Just look around and get inspired by the opportunities around you.

@cherrybeary4471

I wouldn't treat the courses as subjects when studying, instead, consider them by their subtopics. Target topics that you struggle the most with and balance them out. An excellent way to find which topics you struggle with most is to lay out all the objectives in front of you and tick through each one of them.

What a complete goddess

It takes time which I’m willing to sacrifice

I agree 1000% with all that you said. I also got a 44 (exam route) with math AA HL, Econ HL, Spanish B HL, Business SL, English SL, ESS. After the exams I declined the offer from UCL because I thought I wouldn’t get the 39 with 766. Everyone told me otherwise, but I still did it. In the end I ended up with a 44 777 in a worse school (although I liked the modules more). Note I got rejected from all 3 of my dream unis. Anyway, I wish you all the best :).

I dont know whether to choose history or physics sl as my sixth subject. I love history, but physics intrigues me. I am totally lost and people are telling me all sorts of things. Also I need to pick by the end of next month. Help 😅 edit: I want to let people know that I am very mid at math, but I do have a lot of motivation for the subject and plan to take aa sl

i know this is two years late but i'm starting IB in september this year. i also already chose physics and chemistry, but i want to go into a career related to biology/chemistry. it's too late for me to change courses (according to my cousellor), so i was also thinking of taking AP bio. for reference, i'm not in the US (in canada) but am hoping to go abroad (US is an option - would AP bio be beneficial in this case since bio wouldn't be included in my IB diploma?) i hope you don't mind me asking a few questions: 1. how difficult was it to take AP bio on top of IB? 2. were the exams during the same time? 3. did your school offer an AP bio course or was it self-study? 4. is the AP course similar where you'll have lots of assignments/projects as well?

I don't completely understand your situation, so if you really don't think you can do it, I would say drop down to SL.

That's IB MYP. You'll only get a similar report like IB DP in MYP 5, or 10th grade. Before that, it is very easy and honestly, nothing to stress about. Just do well in your 10th boards, and then the real thing will begin in 11th. These results are for IB DP, where the final results are given out of 45. 3 points for the EE and TOK and 42 for subjects in total. However, for MYP, it is just based on your summatives and is honestly not even stressful at all. Everything till 8th is a piece of cake. 9th is a bit more difficult but still not much, and 10th is mainly studying and preparing for e-assessments. This is coming from an MYP student who has just entered 10th.

Im basically weeks from the applications for the IB program, I am really stresssed, I feel like I'm gonna spend all my teenage years studying, I have good grades, but then I see the list from other students that are applying to the program and feel like I'm the worst from them, also wehave a creative class in the school, but I felt like all the projects we did from it I was the only person ewho didn't found out the structure from them, in the groups I always do what the others tell me too, but I just don't figure out how to work with it, Im so stressed, like I don't understand any of the technical language they ask you to write about. I'm fucked.

2 жыл бұрын

I am not sure what the TOK exhibition is, but here is a website that could help:tok2022.weebly.com/tok-exhibition.html. As for the TOK presentation (which I did), it is a presentation you can decide to do by yourself or with 1-2 other students. The goal of the presentation is to demonstrate your TOK knowledge in real-life situations. You start by creating a Knowledge claim, and you build your presentation around it.

My subject combinations are: Biology: HL Chemistry: HL Physics: HL Math AA: HL English Lang. & Lit.: SL French B: SL I'm in DP1...my teachers said that this subject choice and combination is insane. I want to pursue Biomedical Engineering/ Med and all these subjects are required at an HL level. Additionally, I really enjoy them(I'm still improving though). We haven't finalised our HLs & SLs and I'm still very confused what to go forward with. Can you give me some advice as your subjects are similar?
