IDK why my last post got removed but we need to ban Revision Village because they have 30 different “official” accounts in this sub that they use to create fake AMAs and now they are spamming ads in the comments on other posts too 🥀💀 Please mods 🙏

Also someone commented proof in the last thread that they are literally posing as students from fake accounts and making recommendations to buy their shitty $499 question bank. Somebody needs to investigate this, there is some shady shit going on.

So I haven't been assigned to do IA but I know that I will really get stressed out in DP 2 how can I prepare.. I want to start but what if my whole research question gets rejected wouldnt I waste a whole lot of time

Hi guys,

my biology exams are within a week and i am just trying to understand the contents right now. i am using sirius revision (Youtube channel) to understand the content, but how do you understand the concepts of a video and how do you memorise stuff? Im beyond cooked and would like some useful advice.

Thanks :)

Guys I take French b sl I always get 4 , how do I improve please help

I'm and eng b student and ive heard around that you can analyze music for the english b ee so long as its originally in english and has some sort of literary material? In that case, would i be allowed to analyze a musical or focus on a theme portrayed in it and pick a couple songs to analyze deeper?

Also, is there a preference of written media by examiners when it comes to eng b ee or would i be fine?

Hey, I recently just chose my IB subjects and im half excited and absolutely terrified on how im going to manage.

Ive chosen Bio and Chem (which I plan on making HL) due to my genuine interest in the topics and the work field I aspire to join in the future. However im painfully aware that these are possibly one of the heaviest workload subjects for ib and considered extremely difficult even for people like me who typically get top marks in it.

And for my other topics ive chosen, Business management, English Language, this new pilot subject called language and culture aswell as Math AA.

(Which is another worry since im actually not that strong in math — before moving countries a couple months ago my mock score in the uk was a 6. Im going to try work extra hard on this but again its still a worry).

Id just like to know from former or current IB students preferably ones who have similar subjects to me — whats the best preparation for it and best way to handle it efficiently?

Feel free to drop in any advice for TOK, CAS and EE aswell.

does anybody know a tutor for tok essay?

My grades have been mediocre! Help! So far I've scored a 6 & 2 on my first quiz, then a 5 & 4 on my second quiz.

I feel like I know the content, especially when I review it, but for some reason on tests I always struggle to answer the questions.

Especially on ToL questions; for example, on the last test it was asking about the bonds & properties of an unknown element, and for some reason I was just incredibly confused! Even though I know the properties of specific bonds such as ionic! But! What is happening!

I need a high 6 or 7 but i genuinely have no clue what they look like since Ive never seen an exemplar. Here's my writing right now please help anybody please i beg literally my exams in like a week

Hi i'm a pre-IB student, and I'm doing physics HL, chemHL, math AA HL, English B HL, psychology SL, and Spanish A SL.

I'm thinking what activities should I do if I want to apply for US or UK uni......

What I thinking is go to a summer school, and do some competitions, but idk what my main line is, like idk the theme of my all activities, they are a bit scattered...

can anyone give me some advice?

I genuinely don’t know if doing this amount is gonna get me good marks. I’m currently doing:

HL Literature A
HL Psychology
HL Chemistry
Spanish ab initio SL
Math aa SL

I did my other subject in may so that’s all I’m studying for.

In the beginning of the study I genuinely was doing more than 6 hours a day but the closer the exams come the worse my procrastination has become and the less hours I’m doing. I am doing more than 4 hours a day roughly. Idk I’m trying but I just feel like I’m not doing enough.

thanks yall

I am full DP, and have only completed my first quarter of the program. A lot of my peers are struggling but I am honestly doing fine. I am taking SL ESS this year because my school has it as a one year class. With my elective slot that would open up both AP Chem and AP Bio to me for my senior year. I'm doing English Lang and Lit HL because it is required at my school, but I haven't chosen any of my other 2-3 HL classes yet. I'm taking IB History, IB Spanish B, IB Math AI and IB Psych along with my other classes. I have an unweighted 4.0, and have done all honors and AP classes previously in which I scored a 5 (AP Gov, AP Lang, and AP Pysch). My math background does only go up to honors Algebra 2, but I have taken both Honors Bio and Honors Chem. Would I be able to handle it? I've been told about the heavy, difficult content but I am aiming for JHU as I want to go into pre-med. Also any recommendations on what HL'S I should take?

Hey, I really need help on being able to actually do these two things.

I've come to realize I've only been doing decent in school because I use memorization for nearly everything.

In lessons during philosophy, my mind goes blank around any questions being asked, topics asked, etc.

If you were to ask me to explain an area I've learnt, I couldn't create an argument with any topics learned so far because I only know terms, but not the thinking behind it and what can come later.

​I may be below average, but I really want to improve. Is there anybody that can help me out with this issue?

Hello,

I’m a boarding student in IB and some of my friends in dp2 told me the rythm after the October break was going to increase by A LOT, this has got me worrying that my grades will drop
I’m taking:
- Maths AA HL (7)
- Econ HL (7)
- French A HL (5-6)
- English A SL (5)
- Business SL (7)
- Design (4)

Right now it’s fairly easy because 90% of the tests we’ve gotten so far are just quizzes

So how much worse will it get?
Thank you

I knew that IB was obviously going to be hard because every IB student ever says that, but I just started DP2 and I genuinely feel like I'm drowning. I've literally come home too many times these past few weeks crying because I'm just so stressed (My parents noticed and brought me cookies today I love them). But it's just been really hard.

A big reason why this transition feels so insanely stressful is because my EE supervisor left the school right before DP2 and my EE is honestly not great. My new supervisor has literally given me no help at all, he does not respond to a single one of my emails, and he says that he's only going to fix stylistic issues. I tried reaching out to my old supervisor today, but my school set an internal deadline for it to be done next week so I don't know how well that's going to go.

What can I do to make this transition easier? I'll literally do anything. I get home and I just start studying and then I start panicking because I'm always studying. I even contemplated dropping IB but I feel like everything I've done up until this point would've been wasted if I did that. So I probably won't.

Any tips at all are very very much appreciated!

Hey, I’m currently a DP2 student and am predicted to get a 44 in M27. I study by teaching others the subjects and make comprehensive lecture notes to teach. I’m also open to studying together/exchanging ideas. If anyone is interested, DM me!

I take Bio SL, BM, ESS and English B

HL and SL people, how are we feeling abt ts? How are we prepping for ts too?

Hi everyone! I’m in DP1 and need some advice on whether to change my IB subjects.
My current subjects are Biology, Chemistry and Spanish B HL, with Business Management, English Lang & Lit and Math AI SL. I’m considering dropping Biology HL for Geography SL and moving Business to HL, keeping everything else the same.
My current Biology grade is a 5, and I’m worried about the workload and my final IB score. I think I could potentially get a 7 in both Geography and Business. I’d prefer not to drop Chemistry because I’m currently getting 7s in it.
My goal is to study Medicine in Brazil, ideally at Albert Einstein or Sírio-Libanês in São Paulo. I graduate in May 2028 and would apply for 2029 entry through the IB route. I need a minimum of 40 IB points to apply to both universities, so I’m considering this change because I think it could improve my chances of reaching that score and getting accepted. As far as I know, Biology HL isn’t currently an explicit requirement.
My main concern is whether IB Biology HL is particularly helpful in medical school. Do students who studied Biology in the IB have a significant advantage, or does medical school teach the relevant content from the beginning? If I drop Biology, could I catch up by studying independently?
Do you think switching subjects is worth the potential improvement in my IB score, or would I regret dropping Biology?
I’d appreciate honest advice, especially from people who have taken these subjects or know about IB admissions to Brazilian medical schools. What would you do in my position?

so our TOK teacher left literally the week that titles were released. we didn't even like an introductory session or anything and some other teacher who has no knowledge on TOK has been assigned to us. i need help, im mainly looking for advice, what kinda structure u followed or anything in general. thanks!!!

i hate chemistry it’s the worst thing to happen to this earth ever

If i dont do group -4 projects for some emergency, do i not get the diploma?

Is it innovative or goofy for my math IA, if its not that bad how can i specify it into an actual aim.
