So since Chem is tomorrow and it IS the subject thats most failed in the IB, does anyone have any last minute tips? Like tips on how to calm down before entering your exams? Or any useful information and last minute stuff to remember? It doesn't only have to be Chem. For any subject in general is okay too I know I will be having a panic attack tomorrow! >< I mean, those damn Chem HL past papers are soooo hard! It's like you can never study too much for Chem.

Hey guys, I took the math SL exam a couple of days ago for TZ1, and I honestly think it was much harder than anticipated and harder than past exams. For those of you that took in TZ1, what did you guys think of it? Hard, easy, challenging? Also, do you think the mark boundaries will shift downwards because I honestly think I'm going to fail and all i've been doing is crying. Please help!

Question about the normal to the curve at point P?!?!? There was a question about the gradient at point P... which was 0.. and then it asked for the equation of the normal... ? Whats the equation when the gradient is 0? I put x= 2 Because the normal is perpendicular.. is this right?

I want to start preparing for my exams in May. What do you think is the best method. I have the biggest problems with Design Technology SL and Math SL. For Design I need to score all 6s or 7s on papers in order to have 4 or 5 (because of the poor internal exams)

Hello everybody, As we all know, it is revision time for the IB May 2012 students. I'm trying to find some people who took the Economics papers 1 and 2 in November 2011 to find out what the questions were roughly. I know that the papers haven't officially been released yet and that sharing these papers is strictly forbidden, BUT, I'm not asking for this. I'm asking anybody who took these exams whether these papers were hard or not, and if they were more concentrated on micro, marco, international, development, etc... By asking this, I don't think that I am infringing the rules, because no copyrighted content would be published and no 'cheating' information would be reveal…

Hi all!!! I have maybe a dumb question, however I am having mocks tomorrow and I would really need some help. The thing is that I cant remember how many options do you get to choose from on paper 1, since I know you have 3 levels of analysis that you have to answer at each one of the 1 question, however how many options do you get to choose from... Any help would mean a great deal to me... Take care

I chose question 1 in paper 1, which is about perfect competition and oligopoly, quite straightforward. In paper 2, I was unsure about question 1 regarding how the government would intervene into the market of vaccination, so I decided to do questions 2,3,6. Unfortunately, my answer was not on the right track for question 3 (crowding out effects). So what do you think about paper 1 and paper 2? I think paper 1 is easier than paper 2, I should have answered question 1 in paper 2 instead of question 3...

So what did everyone think? Personally I though paper 1 was alright, a couple of weird questions but everything else was ok. Though, what was the answer for the evolution question involving horses. After the exam we still could come to a decision whether the answer was homologous structures of characteristic changes in a species. Paper to was pretty good as well, and for once I actually liked a question in section B. Only thing I found was the data analysis was a lot harder to get your head around than usual. Any thought?

Hey guys. Paper 1? I thought it was okay Paper 2? The BEST section B questions I have seen in a long time. However I realised once I got out of the exam that I mislabeled my pancreas and liver in my diagram of the digestive system -___-. Paper 3? I did option E: Neurology and Behaviour, and option H: Further Human Anatomy and Physiology. Weren't too bad, which gives me hope since I suck at options . How did you guys go?

I think my whole class answered the mechanics question in extended response on Paper 2. But those questions were really confusing! I answered everything but I have no idea how right or wrong my answers were. Paper 1 had really easy questions but some of them were quite difficult.

How did you find the paper? Which topic did you choose? They were something along these lines: 1. Imaginative story - the prompt was a conversation 2. Article - the one with the picture of the 'car of the future' 3. Letter to the editor - after reading an article affirming that young people lacked initiative 4. Review of a video game

24 hours later... what did you all think? Personally, I didn't like the extract or the poem as much as some I've written commentaries on in the past, but they weren't horrific. I chose the poem because I wasn't quite sure what was going on with the prose. What did you chose and what did you write about? Hope maths P1 went well, good luck for the rest

The title says it all... how did you guys go? I did the poem myself, but it took me a while to choose between the two and then find a theme to talk about. Maybe that was just me. When I got into it though, I thought it was pretty good . Thoughts?
