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?

Hello, I am grade 8 and I am preparing for the IB program. I want to go to Colonel By High School. I want to know if there are any tips for preparing this exam. I asked my teacher in my school, but she just said you can't prepare for it. However, I can't fail this test, and I am having trouble with English. Are there any good ways to help me improve my writing on an IB entrance exam? Does TOEFL help? Also, how hard is the test? Is the math hard, or do I need to study it? I heard that it was easy. Lastly, is it okay if I got a G in my progress report? Or does that count as a huge disadvantage during the entrance?

Hi! II am from Calderstone in grade 8. I am trying to get into IB in Turner Fenton SS. How were your grades in grade 7 and grade 8. For those who have gotten in, was there something that you think made you gain an advantage? Also how can I prepare for the essay? For my grade 7 report card, my average was 88% and all E's. My PE mark was only 75% and I'm scared if that might affect my chance to get in. I'm worried about my grade 8 progress report card as I have REALLY strict teachers this year and I'm sure I wont get all E's or all progressing very wells (maybe even a progressing with difficulty from the worst history teacher EVER). I know these are a lot but I really want…

Finding the optimal position between sitting and standing has become my new endeavor. I am now on the hunt for the perfect height adjustable desk to elevate my workstation.

IB is a joke. It isn't the refreshing diploma you'd want to take; it is just hard just to be hard. It doesn't really teach you what they claim to, it is just annoying hard and stupid work. It doesn't give you time for anything else than IB itself. Why don't they let you start a project in which you could continue on once you graduate? No. Because that you would mean it will be enjoyable for you. I have currently 4 projects in which I'm making money from (around 25k usd a month) and enjoying them but I have to spare time for the stupid IB program that doesn't teach you ANYTHING. Only classes that I like are mathematics HL and physics HL, all the ot…

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?

Hi Everyone! First off I would like to apologize for the rant that I am about to embark on. So yesterday I decided to log in and check my ****ing IB score just to see that I was not awarded the diploma. That in itself is depressing but what's worse is that I was one point off from that **** diploma that I busted my ass off for. What's more sad is that I was one point off from upper boundary for three ****ing subjects. I was thinking about appealing the grades but that ****s like $200. My broke ass can't afford especially when I spent my money on IA projects just to get moderated down. Like should I start a gofundme page or something? But also if I do end up challengi…

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.

Here in New Zealand the ministry of education openly supports students doing past papers to prepare for their NCEA(the NZ secondary curriculum) external exams, but the IBO seems to be vehemently against IB students doing the same thing. However, there also seems to be a wealth of past papers available on the internet that people are using. Do IB students actually do past papers to prepare for their exams or is it useless? Will students get in trouble if they are caught grinding past papers?

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…

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...)
