Hey everyone, As you can tell from the title, I'll be writing the Pre-IB entrance exam for BSS and St Roberts this fall. I got all E's and an overall average of around 92% on my 7th grade final report card, (but I'm not sure how low the acceptance rate for both schools are so I'm not sure if that's enough). Does anyone know roughly how many students get accepted into the program each year? Also, does anyone know how difficult the actual exam is? How much time do you get for each component, roughly how many pages of each component are there and around how many questions are on a page? How hard was each section, and what types of questions were on the exam? Especially …

Hi everyone, I'm currently in 8th grade and I am planning on taking both the St. Robs and Bayview entrance exam into their ib programs. Can someone please explain to me how the exam is broken down, what can I expect, and what are my chances for getting in? (roughly 700 students apply to each school every year, only around 250 get accepted). For Bayview, I have an average of around 88% from my grade 7 final term, and a solid teacher recommendation. How well do I have to perform on the test in order for me to get into the program?? St.Roberts only relies on the test scores, im pretty sure. Also, is there any advice or helpful tips for studying for the tests? …

Hey guys, So I made IB and I'm kinda scared on how difficult IB would be. (as so many people say it's really hard) My main concern is French IB(as my French isn't that good) and it would help me lots if someone would inform me about what the course is mainly about. For ex, conjuagation or vocabulary and just how difficult it is for someone who takes regular French Thanks!!!!

Hi everyone, Where can I find the MYP 4 syllabus for subjects like english, sciences, math, I&S, and etc? My teachers don't really hand out the content overview and for me it is so helpful when I know what I am studying so that I can prepare months before final exams. Thank you and have a great day!

Hi Guys, I am just wondering if I should take Econ or Psych. I wanna go into med and my current subjects (MYP) are Maths, English, Biology, Chemistry and Spanish. I think most my subjects are content based especially Biology and I wanna choose between Econ and Psych and which ever one i can get a higher score in. Saying that, i am in interested in Psych, however do find it heavily content based and then i have biology(i am thinking of going with bio HL). While, econ is okay but i guess it's more logic. So now, i am really confused which one to take cause both have their pros and cons and I needa get a 7 😬. Thank You a lot guys!

I am moving next year to another country in which they do not have Arabic speakers, therefore not a lot of people would sign up for Arabic A. I want to take Arabic A, English B HL, Bio HL, Chem HL, Business, Math analysis SL. At the school I am going to, they offer SELF TAUGHT Arabic B and Arabic ab initio (SL). I could take Arabic B self taught, as I already had experience with Arabic A in MYP, and its my mother tongue, but taking Arabic A is easier to get a 7/7 than in English A. I need helppp from current IB Students or past IB studentssss. In addition, this school offers French A which is also my mother tongue but I would much rather taking Arabic than French. HEELLLL…

Hey, I'm in pre-IB and I have to choose my subjects soon. I am sure about: Polish SL English B HL Math AA HL German B SL My problem is the choice between taking HL geography or biology. I don't want to take 4 HLs, because I'm not suicidal. I really like geography and I would like to take HL, while bio is my best science but it's still kinda meh for me and it really depends on the area of the subject. Right now I'm thinking mostly about enviromental science for university and maybe genetics so biology would be better, but I'm still undecided. I don't know any major where geography would come in handy that isn't economics related (I hate economics) …

Hi, these are my options so far... HL: Physics, Biology, English SL: Econ, Spanish, Maths AA I'm worried about taking two sciences at HL. No one at my school has done that before and I'm afraid it's going to be too difficult (I want to get a good grade of ib). I am fascinated by physics and biology, plus I am thinking about going to medical school or studying physics so I know that both courses will help me decide what I want to study. Has anyone taken two sciences at HL or do you know anyone who has? I welcome any suggestions! Thank you

Hi everyone, We have to make our choices for the Diploma by Monday ideally although definitely by Friday. I am trying to get some advice on my subjects and would really appreciate your views/thoughts: Background: I am really excited by doing Medicine as a career. However, I know that I a bit (not overly!), but a bit squeamish at the sight of blood. Because of this I am unable to back myself 100% to say that I will be able to do. People I have talked to say that everyone is a bit uncomfortable at first and so it will be fine but still wanted some thoughts from other people. Because I'm unsure about medicine the other thing in my mind if finance. Seco…

I am currently in MYP 5 and we must turn in our diploma forms by next week, I have some classes already picked but I am really struggling with picking my HL classes. I know I could just ask my counselor or something (I have) but since they're faculty, they usually don't say which classes are not worth it because of their difficulty. For general context: I'm a great student and have a top 5 grade average in my grade, however I'm worried going into the IB next year. For college, I'd like to study in the US with a major that has something to do with management and a minor in Biology. I am originally from the United States, but fully fluent in Spanish, however I strugg…

I'm starting my IB course next week and I am currently contemplating on changing my subjects combination. My current subjects combo: HL: Maths, Chemistry, Physics SL: Economics, English A1, French ab initio Looks like a good combination for engineering, right? The irony is I have never been interested in engineering. I'm planning to pursue a degree in Economics...or Actuarial Science...and recently, I have been thinking about Psychology. As you can see, I am very undecided right now. That is why I am trying to choose the subjects combination that can keep my doors open in the future. It is a known fact that sciences are the safest options, thus the two Science subjects i…

I'm currently choosing courses for my grade 9 year, and I have to choose between grade 10 intro to computer studied and grade 11 comp sci (both require no pre-requisites, and both are available for ninth graders). The grade 10 course is like an introduction to fields in technology and an introduction to Python, while the grade 11 course is programming in Java and an intro to graphical UIs. I’m also taking Python classes right now. I’m really stuck and would really appreciate it if someone could help me decide which course is the best one for a grade 9 student. Thank you

Hi! I'm in the middle of my Pre-IB year now, and I'm thinking of applying for a scholarship for UWC (United World College) to be able to study my two IB years abroad. However, I'm having a bit of trouble deciding on what school I'd like to go to, and if it actually will be any difference for me, since I already have the chance to take full IB at home... I'm thinking of having Li Po Chun United World College (located in Hong Kong) as my first choice. Does anyone have any good or bad experience from there?

Hello people of the interwebs: I am currently a grade 8 student that took the Bayview S.S. IB acceptance exam. The results said that I would be on a wait list and there were no offers of acceptance. Are there any students that were on a wait list and got accepted (or not for that matter). What’s it like? What are my chances? I had an average of 80-88 on my grade 7 report card; and all E’s on the grade 8 progress report card. I actively participate in class and my teacher didn’t hate me that much ( I think) :P. I’ve heard from some of my friends that the wait list was nothing more than a polite way to say “rejected”... Please help me I am str…

So i'm having a sort of dilemma. I'm in the middle of my first year of IB1 (just finished the first semester and my December exams) BUT I'm doing terrible in SL physics and am really thinking of switching to SL biology. My physics teacher is really bad and has completely ruined my interest and like cannot teach. I also really don't want to risk my grades because of him. The only issue is that i've missed an entire semester of biology. I took IGCSE bio in y9 and enjoyed it, then did physics in y10 and y11 so decided to stay with it in IB because i did not know that i would be getting a new physics teacher (bad idea cause the new guy sucks). So I really don't know what I s…

I'm a grade 9 (MYP4) student who only started my MYP study a few months ago. I come from a Chinese public school which is holding a totally different teaching method compare to my current school. As a new student, I did not work so well on my first semester and most of grades I got are between 4 to 6. (exception for Chinese because I've studied it for a long while). especially for some assessments like essays and lab reports, which are mostly graded for criteria B,C and D. In addition, my English ability is not such bad, so I don't have to be too worry about listen to teachers during the class. I'd love to get some advices on how to write better essays an…

Hey all, I'm currently taking an IGCSE curriculum, and am finding it difficult choosing between SL Analysis and SL Applied for my mathematics IB course. I'm looking to going into a form of environmental science in Australia. I'm not the greatest at math, but I am able to pass most tests and am currently on a 4/9. My parents and I are very concerned about my ability to take the SL Analysis course as my school has told me it is impossible for me to take the extended test (which apparently you need a 7 in to get into SL Analysis) due to them thinking that I won't pass it. I've continued to be taught the regular syllabus despite me having…

Hello everyone, I'm in grade 8 and I'm going to be taking the IB entrance test for Bayview Secondary School this year. Multiple people from my school make it to Bayview IB each year, however none of them have been willing to give me the answers I wanted, so I'll be asking them here.

How hard are the questions in each section? How pressed for time are you, usually, and are the levels of difficulty of the questions similar to the sample questions posted on the Bayview website?

Hello, so the entrance exams for some programs are coming around this November, and I'm doing a few exams, but one that stands out to me is the entrance exam for Saint Roberts CHS pre IB. I know that they don't test French, but for the math, is it around grade 8 curriculum level or is it more like grade 9 curriculum math? Also, for the reading comprehension part, how can I prepare? I've been doing Gauss math contests, grade 7 and 8, and usually I can get all Part A and Part B questions right ; however, Part C questions tend to stump me, usually I get 2 or 3 of the Part C questions right, but once in a blue moon I can get the last 2?
