I wanted to ask you a question from a long time ago, but forgot about it. WHAT DOES YOUR NAME REPRESENT/MEAN? (Meaning, in case it's not your real name/first name, why did you choose it?). I guess I'll start. It was a really random decision when I had to register to TSR, but I really love the name. BIO (as in biology, my favorite subject; and biological, as in completely pure and innocent) and AQUA (as in water, the power of water; and a word that I really love), so it's kind of the best of both worlds . Merge both words together, and it adds up to "Biological Water; a completely pure water which everyone needs to survive..." P.S If you google search my name, you get …

Some of you may have noticed that we now have the ability to "react" to posts here on IB Survival. What other reactions would you like to see? And what icons would you like?

Good morning (or good evening) ladies and gentlemen I decided to start a topic which I haven't seen on this forum before, but which can definitely make someone smile. IB and other education levels are hard - we as the youth of this world have so much pressure upon us that we break sometimes. Some of us fall hard but stand back up, where as some have troubles after trying to get back up a few times. There are also so many different reasons for people to be upset, and it's really a shame that people have to feel that way. Since the rate of anxiety, depression, and suicide has been rising in the recent years amongst teenagers, I thought that some small acts may help us all.…

Well, I came up with a thought that it'd be nice to know a bit more about our users here, so I came up with this topic. What you're supposed to do is pretty simple - copy&paste the questions below and then answer next to them. Feel free to skip any questions you don't want to answer. 1. What is your real name? 2. Where are you from? 3. How did you find out about IB Survival? 4. What made you register on IB Survival? 5. When did you (approximately) register here? 6. What is your favourite IB subject? 7. When are you graduating? 8. What are your plans for university? 9. What are your free-time hobbies? 10. If you could change one thing on IB Survival, what would it be?

I'm currently a Grade 12 High School student in the Czech Republic, and the Czech Upper Secondary School system usually lasts 4 years (graduation - Grade 13). Right now, I have 3 options: I could move to Canada or stay in Czechia and graduate in Canada/Czechia (the academic year 2023/2024.) The third option is to repeat another year of high school and attend the IB programme in Denmark. (Graduation year - 2024-2025) I plan to study for a bachelor's degree at top universities in the EU, e.g., the Netherlands (UoA, Utrecht University, Erasmus University of Rotterdam...) or Denmark (Copenhagen Business School, Aarhus University...) I just don't know whether …

Hey guys, I just discovered this forum as I was doing some research on my IB subject choices. I am really confused between HL Chemistry and HL CS as both of them are pretty good options for me and I like both so I was looking for some advice regarding my subject choices. Here's some background information: I'm taking my GCSEs in May. I wanted to pursue either astrophysics or particle physics in uni but maybe fall back on CS if I don't enjoy either of them I want to perhaps pursue a MBA in the future I'll be applying to US universities Good at math and logic Strongly dislike rote memorisation Aiming for a 45 (high hopes I k…

Hi, I'm in Myp5 and soon I have to choose subjects, but I don't know if they are good enough to get into a good university. My school does not offer many courses but I would do this: IT LIT HL (Mother language), BM HL, MATH aa SL, DESIGN SL (not offered high), ENG LIT AND LANG SL. And I don't know what to put as third high, between HISTORY, PSYCHOLOGY or put English high and history or psychology SL

Hi. I'm selling my unlimited revision village gold account for $80 (negotiable). It's extremely helpful because there are a lot of questions for each topic for you to practice with, whether AA or AI, video solutions and even prediction exams. It definitely helped me prep for my Math AA HL exams. The account technically expires in November 2022 but you can just email them to extend the membership as many times as you want. If you're interested, please message me.

I am quite depressed about my possible Maths HL score for the November 2022 session. So far my CS Sl, Lang A Sl, and Business Sl exams have been great, and the Physics HL exams were surely better than Maths HL's. I am considering retaking the Maths HL exam as I believe I could do better if I just had some more time. I had a terrible time management in DP2, and EE and IAs took so much time that I did not have the chance to study properly for the real exams. For my SL exams and English B Hl, and partially for Physics HL, this was not a huge problem as I was already confident with them, however I think I messed up my Maths HL papers. But I just don't want my IB journey to en…

Currently attempting to do my maths IA but failing miserably as I feel that my topic was too difficult and there isn't much I can prove using it... Cannot change my topic over summer and it is due over summer too. Just wondering what are the grade boundaries for the maths IA? I've pretty much lost all hope and I really hope I get a 5 on this. Also, what are the chances of still getting a 6 overall in maths SL with a 4 or 5 for your maths IA grade?

Being an IB student in year 12 , it is so freaking difficult for me to manage my sleep schedule plus being in the school I am , I practically have to self-study and have tutors AFTER school again and then of course doing my IAs , mind you I haven't started my EE or TOK essay and I am doing May 2023 session. My lack of sleep (sleeping 3-4 hours) has made me so slow in general. I am stuttering while sleeping , I can barely speak properly and my anxiety is on the roof (I am not an anxious person at all) but this lack of sleep. I have tried schedules on notion and followed them but the guilt of not being able to study for 3-4 hours after school seeps in and I can't get myself…

I am selling my Revision Village account since I have finished my IB DP program. This membership helped me score a 7 as a final grade in MATH AA HL, and I would recommend it to anyone taking DP Math. The membership is GOLD, meaning it gives lifetime access to all questions and answers. New it costs 200€, but I will price it at 100€ to sell it fast. Message if interested.

Hello to whoever is reading this, In the past week I have submitted two pretty awful and unfinished IA drafts. I fully acknowledge that this is my own fault due to my poor time management, but I was wondering if anyone had advice on what I should do now? One of the teacher's at my school told my classmates and I that; Poor draft = Poor feedback = !!BAD IA!! Needless to say this statement has been stressing me out a bit. If any IBDP 1 students happen to be reading this then DON'T BE LIKE ME. Manage your time well and hand in the best possible draft you can.

This might sounds hilarious but I am currently reaching my last year of IB with a predicted grade of 28. I do realised that I haven't don't the amount of work required, but also decided to take physics, computer science, math aa and economics as HLs last year. Right now I have dropped my math aa to sl, but I am just carious if I would be able to have some improvements if I starting to do some work? is there still time available?

Hi, I am in despirate need of help. My maths teacher has said that she set the maths IA draft deadline for the end of the school term nd has said that of we do not meet this deadline anything we hand in later is considered a final draft and she will give no feedback on what we submit. Is this allowed? I wasn't aware of the deadline and have also had Philospohy, Biology and ESS IA's at the same time as well as the EE draft to be handed in and the TOK exhibition AND mocks the second week back of september. Any feedback would mean the world to me!!!!!

Hello, I'm going to start IB this year but I'm not sure whether to choose English A SL as my language A since I'm a non-native english speaker. The reason why I wanted to choose English A was because I'm studying in a foreign country and I cannot choose my native language as language A. (If I take it, it'll be self-taught). I also wanted to choose English B HL since I'm still learning English but I've recently learned that you cannot choose one language for both language A and B. I'm really panicking about the whole situation since I've read a lot about how tough it'll be for a non-native english speaker. Needless to say, I study in an English sc…

Hi all, I'm going to be taking IB in a few months, and just now I have been told that the group 3 subject I chose (history SL) isn't being offered due to a low number of students selecting it (only 2!). Now, I'm stuck between business, economics, and geography as my next choices. I've already narrowed it down to either economics or geography. I plan on going into either forensic science or genetics. My HL Subjects: Math AI Chemistry Biology My SL Subjects: English Spanish Ab Initio Any advice on which subject to choose would be greatly appreciated!

I want to do HL chemistry and biology. But i don't know what math course to do, at the moment I'm at an average of 5 in maths and I'm starting IB in a year but my subject choices start at the beginning of next year. My school only offers AA SL or HL and AI HL if you're taking an HL science. I'm also planning on taking english lit SL, business management SL and Spanish B SL. Do my choices seem reasonable in regards to the HL subjects?

So I'm doing an extended essay on physics on the relationship between tension and frequency on a violin string. This is my second topic (as first one was too hard to analyze data) and I'm worried that the topic is too generic. Can extended essays with a generic topic score well or do they have to be quite original?

Hi guys. I'm M22 and I created a website where I have gathered a list of websites I used during my IB Diploma program. They have been grouped into categories: Past Papers, Syllabus and Revision Guide, Textbooks and Revision Notes, Youtube Channels, and Forums. There is also a google drive link to access a folder with resources I used. I will be updating the folder with new resources regularly. Furthermore, I have also gathered ones for IGCSE and A levels so if you know people who do these curricula, you could tell them. https://www.resourceify.com/

I’m going to write a ib math ia topic about evaluate different ways to calculate gini coefficient of the US in 2020. But there are some ias have the same topic, some of them may have the same structure with me since methods to calculate gini coefficient is limited. If I do not copy their work, and just write my own, will IB think I plagiarize others work even I use different data’s with others(i use the data about the US, others don’t)?

I was reported to have cheated (possession of a mobile phone) on an exam. This particular exam was 2 papers in one sitting and I am SL so they are the only papers in the exam. My accusers do not have any evidence and I truthfully did not cheat. The people who took the test around me also verified that I did not cheat except for one - the guy who reported me. Will I not be awarded by diploma if my papers are scored as a 0? This is very unfair as anyone could report anyone for anything. Is there enough evidence to punish me?

okay so hi I'm an eighteen-year-old, currently studying business at one of my country's top colleges. BUT, this college is mad trashy- like, my parents and I were so happy and excited that I got into THIS college, but now, when I'm actually studying here, it sucks. It really does. I was the class valedictorian throughout high school and I thought maybe I'd excel just like that in college and all my further studies. But since my first semester of college was completely online, I haven't been able to analyse myself. I had applied to a few universities in the UK the last year, I also had an offer from Warwick but since I didn't get the scholarship, I couldn't …
