uhm..so i basically downloaded all 17gb of past papers and made claude sort them out for math aa hl and physics hl for all papers (by topic) and also get the mark scheme for it.

(all credits to claude)

its nice for practice (especially when timed)
ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR PREP :)

Guyssss help me out for this, i have a French oral in 1hr, idk what to do?

I wanted to look at IG posts from schools where they celebrate high IB scoring candidates online, so I can suggest to the school where I work that this might be good for marketing. Do you know any schools that do this? It flooded my timeline when IB scores came out, but all I remember is vague. Like Asia…the Middle East…Spain…India. Can anyone help me?

how to find examples for tok essay/, its so different compared to tok exhibition

Continuation of this post.

Extended Essay was in English and got predicted an A:)) I'm drowning in uni apps but this did make my day!

PSYCH P1SC AND P2SB

I have been averaging a 6 pretty consitently in psych and am looking for advice on how to get it up to a 7. P1SA and B as well as P2SA are not issues for me at all and on exams I usually get 7s on those sections my issue is with the concepts in section C and section B. I don’t understand how to format the easays what to talk about and how to study for it so if someone could give some advice I would be very grateful.

Hey guys!!! I was hoping someone could explain Language A papers and the oral?? Because my teacher is absolutely useless and hasn’t explained anything, I’m M27.

What I have understood from previous generations is you can essentialy memorise p2 and the oral but if someone could explain how to do that I would be very grateful!!!

My teacher hasn't been exactly... helpful when doing the chemistry IA. I've got some ideas on what I have to write, but I still don't want to miss anything.

I've only seen one post about the structure to follow in the chemistry IA, but it's from 7 years ago, so I don't know if it's up to date.

Does anyone have a structure to follow or a list of items that have to go into the IA?

Any ideas or tips are appreciated!!

I wanted to do my EE in business but my school denied dye to teacher unavailability and made me choose Maths (AI). I am highly confused on what to do in maths, and many people say not to do it becuase it's hard to get good points.

My other only options are German B ( which I am at level b1) or English (I am not good at literary analysis but).

Please I need help on whether I should keep maths or what?

Dp2, havent received any sort of predicteds yet... Is it okay to apply with your final grades instead? I have 0 experience with universities, my parents never even passed high school, so i can't go to anyone for guidance. i know my predicteds will be terrible bc of burnout, so i'm really nervous about what I can do.. I'm just hoping for a pass at this point, but I don't think that opens any doors for me.

Also, I am planning to go into a chem or psychology field, I haven't really decided yet..

This feels more like a vent post than anything, but i'd really like to receive some advice. (My school department is also incredibly unhelpful)

My son just started DP2 and honestly, his predicted grades came back a bit of a shocker. He is sitting at a 3 in Physics and a 4 in Math HL. He is completely stressed out trying to balance internal assessments, university applications, and keeping up with the syllabus, and I can see his confidence hitting rock bottom.

School support just isn't cutting it right now because teachers are rushing to finish the curriculum before mocks. We have been looking into external options, but with so many places focusing on packed group classes where kids just get lost in the crowd, it is hard to know who actually delivers results.

Are there other good IB tutoring options in Sharjah/Dubai or online that parents here have tried for DP2 HL subjects? What worked for your child to push those grades up in a short amount of time? Did one-on-one private tutoring make a real difference for your kid's final exams?

Hey guys, im M27 with 7s in Math AA HL, Physics HL, technical subjects where everything is quite clear to me - I see the task, I visualize the solution, use a formula that I can derive if needed, and I solve something. And I can immediately tell the amount of marks I will get - If the solution is logical, step by step, and correct, its a full mark, its quite easy. If I can't solve something - I revise the topic, make sure I understand it and that I am able to utilize the formulas, and I get a 7. But I also take History HL and English A Lit SL. And thats where the issues start, because despite getting 6s in boths subjects, I can not see the way I can work with them to reliably improve my score - it comes down either to "memorizing stuff" quite blindly, or trying to follow a structure I can't quite get. So do you guys have any advice how to work with those subjects in general? P2/P3 in history and P1/P2 in English. With P1 in history its easier because its quite straightforward with the structure, but P2 is the death of me

I graduated IB last year, and I'm currently a first year in university. I had midterms last week, and I had a relatively light workload this week, to the point that I actually had a considerable amount of free time. However, I continuously felt extremely anxious and stressed, to the point that I literally started shaking while I was doing literally nothing. Finally, I just now sat down and started typing for a homework assignment, and it straight up stopped.

Is it now wired into me to feel anxious whenever I'm not actively doing work or studying? Like doing work calms me down??? I never would've felt like this before IB. Like I unironically think IB has rewired me to always be anxious about homework, even when I don't even have any.

we got our predicted grades and im really really worried about mine. i have a 31. the main things im worried about is my 5 in econ HL, 5 in ess Hl, 4 in chem SL, 4 in french B SL. i really need to bring these up but im not sure how. we have until the end of sem 1 for teachers to update predicted grades. does anyone have any tips (especially for ess cause i somehow want it to go up to a 7)

Does anyone have advice on the best ways to study for these subjects. I'm currently a DP2 student and need some advice on how to tackle this. it feels like no matter how confident i feel with the concepts, the questions i get in tests are so much harder than the ones i get in my practise sites.

The question banks don't seem to be working on IBDocs, and the one on Pirate IB is out of date for business (last exams 2023). Does anyone have a link to currently working Business question banks for 2024+?

Has anyone ever done an EE analyzing videogame dialogues? I've started IBDP1 last week, and was thinking about making my EE related to something that I really enjoy talking/searching it up. If anyone has ever done an EE(English B) related to another media(that is not books), I'd be really interested in knowing how it was graded.

I started IB a month ago and am finding philosophy really hard to study . Because I dont know quite how to study . We have got a reasonably good teacher but the classes are really intimidating to me , I feel like I have no thoughts at all and cant think . I have studied in a very disadvantaged and dumbed down curriculum before so this approach is very new to me . I find the texts very dense to read . I have no good insights nor am I able to ask good questions . I just feel like I am bad at it . We had a test on identifying assumptions and implications from given texts and i couldnt do it because i did not understand the texts to begin with. im never able to comprehend stuff and deduce meaning. End of term exams are also so near , idk how im gonna do that paper 1. I just feel dumb . so dumb.
I would really appreciate any tips .

I'm a M27 senior, and we've been having sessions about how our exams are turning digital starting in May 2027, and it's all a huge joke to me. Apart from the fact that there are only 250 schools around the world that are going on this trial run, and that my school is one of the 9 in Spain, it's the fact that we are losing the tradition and art of paper & pen. Like, how am I supposed to write 6-page essays on my Mac when I have been writing them on paper for the past 10 years? This is like when they stopped teaching cursive handwriting in the US so they wouldn't be able to read the Declaration of Independence. We have all gotten used to Grammarly and autocorrect; how is this going to get pulled off? Our IB director keeps saying, "you guys are digital natives," like the only thing that sentence tells me is that in 10 years the students of the IB will be speaking in binary code.

Does anyone agree, or is DP2 just making me go crazy?

Edit: I wrote this literally as we were having our first conference about digital exams, so I just typed out my thoughts as I listened to my director. Please do not flame me.

Okay so for DP1 I got 25 points, not good I KNOW I'm not proud of it either... BUT I've been getting nothing but straight 7s now at the start of DP2.

I'm mainly worried that it's too little too late? Like I'm worried that although I'm doing good now DP1 is going to be what drags my predicted down yk. I don't mind not getting a 45 predicted but I'm aiming for a 36 i fear T_T. Any clarification or advice would be appreciated!! especially since I'm so confused with university admissions in The Netherlands since we apply with our predicted but like if we do then whats the point of doing really well in ur May exams other than ofc passing.

Before IB docs was taken down this year, I had the whole compilation of listening audios for the book downloaded but had to delete later to clear space, now I need them back 😢, pls help.

I have heard that BioNinja is good for biology but not sure if it is up to date. If you have any other site recommendations or knowledge on this please share.
