Just wanted to vent about my results somewhere... I've emailed my DPC and decided that I won't be remarking my English A (which I was 4 points away from a 6 for). I was really disappointed because I was predicted to get a 7 so I expected to get a 6 but ended up getting a 5, which still stings rn. But on the bright side my English A EE got a 31/34 which pleasantly surprised me so I guess there's something to be proud of (but it just feels so ironic since my HLE should be a tad similar but I got bad grade for that lmao)

I’ve recently contacted my IB coordinator to ask them if I can receive a copy of my own English lang lit paper from M26. My reasoning was that I may use it as an exemplar when tutoring IB English to future cohorts. After all, the school purchases them as reference for the teachers every year.

(on another note, I poured my soul into paper 2 and scored decently so, naturally, I would like to be granted access to said paper that I paid [financially and mentally] to write 😭✋)

But turns out, the purchased papers are apparently a reserved right for teachers and teachers only. Is this a common practice across most IB schools ?

Hi everyone, I’m sharing a super helpful Paper 1 Tips document of stuff I WISH I KNEW early on and not right before my exams!

If you'd like access to it please fill in this form and the link to it will be available at the ending screen (I'm only using this so I can quantify my impact).

I hope this helps and please feel free to comment/dm if you'd like some other type of resource that you think I may have enough expertise to create!

hii! i'm a 15 year old student from sg and i want to get an ib45.

for my subject combo, i'm pretty set on: hl bio, hl chem, hl maa (i want to do medicine), sl econs/history (i'm worried that history might be too content heavy), sl lit and performance (the only lit subject available for hl double science students in my sch), sl chinese b anticipated (meaning i finish all my content and final exams in dp1, just for chinese)

please be kindd, thank you!!!

Hi, y’all! I’m currently a 10th grader studying in CBSE who’s very set on studying abroad, specifically Germany. I’ve heard that IB helps with countries like the USA, UK, Australia, Canada, etc. But I’ve never seen that it helps to study in Germany so I was wondering if anyone here could clear that up.

And, I’ve been heavily contemplating switching from CBSE to IB for 11th grade. Do schools even allow that? Is that advisable? I’ve seen a lot online about how studying abroad is harder if you’re in CBSE, which is why I’ve been wanting to change boards.

I also thought about IGCSE and I guess I still am but I’ve seen that IB is better than IGCSE so I’m mainly considering IB.

Another major reason I want to switch boards is because I’m very unhappy with CBSE schools and their methods of teaching. Honestly, my grades aren’t the best right now and I’m constantly working on it but I just can’t do that well if I don’t have good teachers in school as I spend a major part of my waking day there.

My parents are fine with me changing schools and boards but the only problem is that IGCSE and IB are significantly more expensive than CBSE. I suppose I’ll have to find a way to convince them but I’d love to know if there are any affordable IB/IGCSE schools in Bangalore.

I’d like to speak to anyone who’s changed boards from CBSE or ICSE to IGCSE or IB, if they’re willing to talk. I’d really appreciate it if anyone would be willing to help me on this.

It is about digital society, and how social media affects your personality

was at 5 2 marks from 6 and now im at 5 8 marks from a 6 fml 😂😂😂😂😂

Hi, I recently finished the May 26 exams and failed to meet my conditional offers requirements. I am looking to retake the exams in November but so far I have been struggling to find a school that accepts me. I am looking at Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Hong Kong. If anyone has any idea on a school that accepts external candidates, please let me know. Anything will be appreciated. Thanks.

Im currently doing my IBDP. I'm applying to Dubai and European universities (not US). Do I need to take the SAT or do I need to do other tests?

Each book is in excellent condition with minimal wear and tear. Some pencil/pen scribbles. The calculator has no damage, only one scribble. PAN India shipping for only Rs.99. DM for prices.

I sent my papers for re-evaluation on the 7th and it is the 22nd and I still have no update on my grade. has anyone else gotten their marks back? does anyone know if this is a good or a bad thing?

Hi!! I managed to get a 7 in History SL even though my IA got moderated! This sub was a lot of help when studying for the exam so feel free to ask any questions you have on the subject.

For Paper 1 I did the Move to Global War and for Paper 2 I studied Authoritarian States (specifically Hitler and Mao) and the Cold War.

I got a 31 on the final IB score. I plan on retaking to aim for a 38 at least. Planned retake subjects include:
- economics hl
- computer sceince sl
- maa hl
- physics sl
I also have to juggle EC’s, essays and SAT grinding. Would you say this is doable? I aim to retake 4 subjects to maximize my score increase. Thanks!

It's short only 7 questions with all of them mcqs

Hi Everyone,

Can someone please tell me a good Biology tutor for my son. He is taking IB HL Biology grade 11. Please contact me. Thanks

Hi everyone. Currently, I am trying to develop my IA for business management (I do it at HL). I am quite confused about the concept of supporting documents. I don't really understand what is expected of me in this file, and I want to ask for any help or advice. Anything will really be appreciated. If you have already gone through this diploma and excelled in this subject, I sincerely ask for your help (or if you just really understand everything).

Thank you for reading this post.

Im in ESS HL , I am starting my IA Now (going into dp2) my research question is going to be soemthing like how different subject pathways (like the sciences) influence the Environmental Value System scores and self-reported food waste habits of IB Diploma students.

Hello!

My subjects are Phy, Chem, Math for HL

Eng A L&L, German Ab initio, Business management for SL

My german teacher is borderline useless. He never teaches in class and wastes time. It is DP2 now. I understand barely any german. And I can't even complain about him to the higher ups because in class tests he takes our tests and edits the answers so that we have good or passing marks. Therefore he isn't questioned either because on paper he is producing results. Through cheating though so we are all fucked for the final boards.

Please. If anyone can tell me what can I do. I feel absolutely hopeless right now. I need to study german and get a 6 bare minimum any how.

Hello everyone, as you can tell from the title I want to attend USYD which is in Sydney, Australia. I was wondering whether anyone could tell me what subjects and level to pick for my best chances at a bachelor of law or bachelor of law/commerce.

Also if possible, the minimum marks I would need to get.

Thankyou!

Hey everyone,

I’m preparing for IB ESS N26 and I’m struggling to find good notes. Most of what I’ve found online are just really brief summaries, but I’m looking for proper, detailed notes that actually explain the content well.

If you’ve got notes that helped you, or know any websites, Google Drive folders, or other resources with decent ESS notes, could you please share them?

Would really appreciate any help. Thanks!

hey guys, im a dp-1 student taking econ and digital society, and the cas grind was genuinely ruining my life. (sub rules check: this is a 100% free project for ib kids to get hours, zero costs).

doing random cas just felt like useless busywork, so i built zimpact. i wanted a way to do stuff that actually mattered, so basically, i connect us directly with international ngos to do remote digital projects for them. instead of just doing random local stuff for the sake of logging hours, you get to use your actual skills to do their video editing, design their posters, write their blogs, or even help them find donors. it creates a massive impact for them and gets your hours done at the same time.

it perfectly covers creativity and service, and you work completely around your own ib schedule. if you have a free week, knock out 4-5 hours. if you are drowning in coursework, skip it. plus you get a legit certificate and actual portfolio work for your cv instead of fluff.

you just need to be decent at one skill. automod keeps deleting my link, so drop a comment or dm me if you want in. ill send you the 1-min form where you just drop a quick example of your work (like a practice edit, a poster you made, or a solid english p1).
