So im 4 months into IB and I've taken IB math HL. In these 4 months we've had constant tests in which I've barely managed to get a 3. Im considering shifting to SL but many unis prefer math hl students for computer science courses. I've shifted to IB from CBSE where i managed to get an overall of 97% in math. Despite this i am unable to do math HL. Do all universities require math hl for computer courses?

For our internal assessments (e.g. Biology), will you fail IB if you don't do in-text citations, but you did do the works cited at the end? I have a whole list of works cited on the last page but no in-text citations throughout it. It is difficult to go back and find each sentence to in-text citate it. In-text citations are a pain and it's giving me anxiety! Please help! Thank you very much!

Hi, so my friend was doing her IA on a company called Godrej Interio. But she just now found out that she was collecting data from their franchisor, not from the company itself. The 2nd draft is submission in another 2-3 days. Can anyone suggest on how to tackle this even if she could extend the deadline by 3-4 days? That would be really helpful

Hi, guys! With my mock exams coming up soon, and my grades not getting where I'd like them to be, it's really made me realise how the lack of training my teacher has is affecting the class itself. She's an excellent history teacher, but I'm afraid I can't say the same for Global Politics, and even the best in our class agrees with me. So I was wondering if anyone had a teacher trained in the subject whom I could contact for marking of the past papers I'm practicing and some additional tips. Thanks!

Hello fellow IB students, For my design technology IA, I am trying to redesign a 3D printing multi-material upgrade. You don't need to necessarily know all that much about 3D printing to participate in this survey. Any data that I can get would be very helpful for market analysis https://goo.gl/forms/n8lBQgttCI68h5e12 Thank you very much!

As you know, for the criterion E of ITGS IA, it says I must use at least three advanced techniques from the list. I am making a website, so I think I must focus on the "multimedia" section. The website was created using WIX. I first wrote about html coding, where I created tables to introduce the products. HTML was also used for paragraphs and introducing the company as well. Secondly, I wrote about Integration of components using advanced features from other applications, that is embedding google maps using html. Lastly, I indicated the Proficient integration of the different elements of multimedia. Here, I talked about creating slideshows and adding various effects usin…

Hello, I have a little issue, but I'm not sure if it can be a problem. So, for my Computer Science IA, I am developing an online website. In order to visit this online website, you can visit a particular URL and you can find the website. My problem is, that the URL contains my name. Not the full name though. Let's say my name is "Frederick", then the URL contains the word "Fred". This shows in criterion D, which is the video. So while watching the video of me showing my application in the video, if one looks at the link they would see that it contains an shortened version of my first name in it. Would this be a problem? I can't seem to find a definit…

Hello, I am almost done with my CS IA, and I have a question. The guide says that we are supposed to reference all our sources in criterion C. However, should I reference any pictures I used there too? If so, how? I know how referencing works in general, but in this case it's a bit weird/confusing. Also, I used a ton of sources for little things, consulting stackoverflow forums etc. Should I reference one by one individually? I think this is unrealistic, as many of them are just simple things that anyone could think of. Others are things that I didn't even show at my Criterion C, because they weren't even worth to put them in. They were that simple. Is it okay i…

Commentary: One of the world’s most important jobs has put the U.S. in great danger by increasing national debt, causing unemployment to be at its lowest, and increasing interest rates. Despite the tax cuts, Trump has increased his import and export tariff expenses causing multiple debt situations. According to this article, this debt is caused by poor decision making from the president and minor setbacks that cause major debt. Analysis: Under President Donald Trump’s administration, the United States government debt has grown faster than any other former president’s administration. Since 2012, the national debt has grown over $5 tril…

Hi! I'm currently collecting data for my investigation, and I want to use a couple of different maps to showcase the information (such as dot-mapping, showing the area with color gradients, etc.). I'm working with traffic flow as a consequence of public works. so I wan't to portray graphically my data in at least two different types of maps. However, I have found online free map making resources to be limited or too simplistic. I used Google's "My Maps" to point down in rectangles and specific locations, but the inscriptions (such as bars, gyms and irrelevant places) are somewhat distracting. Do you know of any accesible tools to make maps (without inscriptions, that is) …

Hi, I'll have to decide on our ia topics by tomorrow! I came up with 2 potential ia topics but can't decide which one to do: Does my city fit the multi-nuclei model? What factors affect the sphere of influence of the local supermarket/store? With the 1st one I'll need to find certain features in the, say 5-6, potential commercial centers in my city, and use the definitions to prove that they are indeed CBDs, and then piece them together. There're a few classmates with similar topics and we're supposed to go in groups, but still it might be pretty tough fieldwork? With the latter I'll first measure the sphere of influence, and then come up wi…

Hi, I'm doing a bunch of practice tests for philosophy and in the test about prescribed texts I can't seem to understand quite well the structure of section B, or how to write it correctly. I'm doing it about Nietzsche in genealogy of morals, specifically about the ascetic ideals and the will to truth that he describes in the third treaty. Any help would be appreciated!

Hello, I am working on my Computer Science IA. I was thinking of using a web framework that would increase the quality of my code (this is a web project that will be used for a long time and therefore I want to make the code easily understandable by everyone). The framework, however, would make it harder to run the website if examines wanted to try to run it locally. My question is: will the examiners actually try my code locally, or will they be happy by only viewing the source code and accessing the real website by URL that I will give them?

Hey! Does anybody know how to heat up a battery by around 1-2 degrees? Will it work if I put the battery in warm water inside a small bag of some sort, or will the battery undergo some reaction and get spoilt? To be precise, I need to hit the battery in different ways, by 1,2,3,4, and 5 degrees to conduct an experiment. If anybody knows any ways of doing that, it would be much appreciated Thanks!

Currently going into grade 10 and I need help with what courses to take. First I took civics and careers during summer school so I don't need to do that in grade 10.

Then I'm also taking French Immersion for the French Credit, IB Geo and obviously ICS.

I have the option to take an IB elective for the diploma, and IB geo SL was one of them. I really like geography, but I've heard that the class is all about global sustainability and helping the environment, is that true? Because if it is, I'm not really sure if I want to take it. My other options are IB anthropology, music, or psychology (none of those classes appeal to me).

Hey! I am writing my first article for IA from Microeconomics. I know that I have to focus on this particular unit (not brining up other topic from our syllabus). I am not sure whether what I want to describe is clearly a micro-case. It's an article about imposition of minimum wage in Ontario, the potential effect of which would be job losses. As the topic is a microeconomic one, I'm not sure whether the solution that I aim to propose is (unemployment is a part of MACROeconomy in the syllabus). I was thinking about offering subsidies to firms to increase the production and therefore, the demand for workers? But I'm not sure. Thanks for your opinio…

Hello guys, I have recently received the results from my first geography test (unit 1), and the teachers comment was that I messed up the strategy in terms of structuring my answers especially in the final essay question (the test has a similar layout to IB geo paper 2). As a result of my lack of understanding of the proper way to answer the test, I scored a 5. So, if you guys could give me some advice on how to answer each geo paper (1,2,3) that would be greatly appreciated!

For my IA, I'm making both a website and a database, and trying to link them. Yes, most IAs would probably be one or the other but I figured, since I've made some websites before it would be easy, and so I could take on making a database as something new while expanding on my website-making with the linking. I'm using Microsoft Access (despite much of the online community's suggestions) because Microsoft Office products are so easy to learn with, and Dreamweaver. The thing is, I'm running out of time - as per the usual in IB - and I'm getting a lot of issues that I don't know how to solve, because I've now been forced into using coding languages I don't know.
