Hello people of IBSurvival! I had a question about the Merivale HS waitlist as I am not finding the answer ANYWHERE! Basically, got my IB results on Friday, Feburary 24, 2023. The email said that I was put on the first quarter waiting list. I have an overall average of 91% The email went on and during the end, it said that "If needed, a second round of admissions would occur the week of March 6th." I still didn't get the email. The reason I am writing this is because I have many friends (11) who were on the 1st quarter waiting list and nobody got in. I am wondering if anyone who applied to Merivale HS got in from 1st quarter or if someone applied …

I'm a Grade 8 student at a YCDSB school who has been accepted into the St. Roberts Pre-IB program. I've heard that it shares the same textbooks as the regular academic program, but I'd like to know the name of the textbooks so I can study in advance.

I'm starting at my new school Herbert Carnegie next year and I'm going to the high school Alexander Mackenzie. How do I prepare for the pre ib exam? What did you guys use? What kind of questions are there in the math, english and french part? Do you have any websites or subjects I should particularly use to study. On my grade 7 report card I got all E's. My lowest grade in term 2 was 80 and the highest was 98 and in term 1 the lowest grade was 78 and the highest was 97. Can somebody please help me?

hi! I'm entering the IB next year and am very unsure whether to continue with my plan, as many people have told me it will be too hard. my school is making me take literature and history as HL, and the only math courses it has are Math AA HL and Math AI SL. I'm planning on taking AA HL. I will also do Spanish SL for year 1 and ESS SL for year 2. I also want to take Physics HL, however I'm on the fence about that as it's 4 HLs. I want to go into engineering and I really love and am good at math and physics, I have a 4.0 right now, although take that with a grain of salt because my school is very IB focused so there is not much challenging coursework for 9th and 10th grader…

HI, I'm applying to the ib program at St Robs and my exam is in a week. I looked at a few practice tests online and they all seem very different some extremally easy some not as much so I'm not sure what level of math and English will be on the exam. Does anyone know if it will just be the things we learned in the school curriculum for gr 7 and the start of gr 8 or will there be harder questions.

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! I'm trying to apply to Colonel By SS or Merivale HS (Both in Ottawa, Canada) for grade 9 next year. My school division website (OCDSB) says something else and the other people that are in the program are saying something else. I do not know what to study. The people that are in the program are saying something about the "CAT" but when I search for samples, I get nothing so what topics are on there and how hard is it? The school division website from last year says (they haven't updated it for this year) says to do some writing task a questionnaire, and a mathematics task, but those are relatively easy and almost everyone could do it. the website: htt…

Hello! I want to get into pre-ib at St Robert but i think my grade 7 final report card was pretty bad. I got an 86 on my report card which im really worrying about since my parents say that i have to have something above 90 to get into pre-ib. I got an 83 on my french which i suck at but i got above 90 on my math which i hear is what St Robert focuses on. Idk if this percentage is good enough to get into St Robert. Im also wondering if St robert does an essay and also if you have to submit an application about what you learned in your past experiences or smething. Also, what type of questions does the entrance exam have and what do i have to prepare for. Pls give me any a…

For senior year in the IB diploma, there are 5 HL courses I have to take: HL English HL Studies in Literature HL Business Leadership HL Physics HL Science I’m assuming this is allowed because I can’t graduate with the diploma without these courses. For SL I take, SL French SL Math There is no HL Math offered at my school. However, there is an HL Math online course. I need to take HL Math for the university programs I want to apply to. So, I would have to take 6 HL courses, one SL course, and a TOK course. Do you think this would be allowed?

Hi, for me the IB exams are coming right around the corner and I have been practicing for around 2 weeks with different CEMC Waterloo grade 9, grade 8 and grade 7 tests. I can do the tests but, i'm really worried that I may be missing something or might not be studying everything I should be. I normally don't study this hard for tests since i'm pretty well prepared already but, I have been spending lots of time studying for this test. Definitely shows how high my anxiety is! 😅 I know that for this year, due to Covid, while submitting your application you were required to also submit an English essay. So, now I just have my math part coming up. If there is anyo…

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…

Hello everyone! I am thinking on joining an IB school next year in Portugal and I was wondering if I have to do this “IB10PY” which I assume is 10th Grade before I do the actual IB Diploma Program? I am doing 10th Grade in the national Portuguese system and would not like to repeat it. I also finished the PYP Program and got to Grade 9 of the MYP in an International school before I moved back to my native country of Portugal if that means anything in this situation. I am turning 16 this year and would not like to graduate a year later than all my peers. Can I simply start the IB Diploma Program next year with no hassles? Thank you.

I didn't even know this site existed until I started searching for answers, so I hope someone will be able to help me here. I took a grade 11 functions course in grade 10 (a 3U course) as part of pre-IB. Thing is, due to all the covid stuff our class has been compressed into 3 weeks, with like 2 days to absorb content and a test immediately after. I was definitely overwhelmed and some of my friends were too, and in result we got some not so pretty marks. I just want to know if this would actually affect my acceptance into Canadian Universities. I am taking a grade 12 advanced functions (4U course) course at grade 11, and I heard universities look at your prerequisites, so…

Hello, I'll be needing to choose my IB subjects soonish and I am in need of some advice. I'm currently interested in International Law as I do not have to live in one specific place to pursue this career. I have no idea if I would like it, but that's the plan for now. What IB subjects do I need to take, and how do I find this info out? I've been looking at some universities and I can't find the required subjects. Also, what are your opinions on International Law? Universities either offer International Law or International Relations. Please let me know. - Gabi

Hey guys, My school gave an announcement that the MYP exams are cancelled but instead of doing the normal e-assessments the IB is providing an "alternative task" where it is just like the e-assessment instead of 2 hours we are doing 1 hour. I heard that some schools who did the November exams had the alternative task. If you are one of them please tell me how was the exam. The structure, questions, basically everything. Thank you for your help.

I'm an MYP student joining the IB program later this year. My current IB subject choice for next year are as follows: HL: Maths AA Economics Physics SL: English Lang/Lit Japanese A Music I am quite confident in my mathematical ability, but my worry is that physics HL will be too difficult. I like music as a subject, but only want to take it at SL. Considering that I want to pursue economics in university, which other subject at HL should I take if I were to drop physics? (I am interested in geography and psychology, I dislike chem). Thank you.

Hello. I have been doing pre-IB since last year and I currently in the middle of 10th grade. However I have been recently not doing well. My school model for the COVID 19 is extremely stressful. I have been getting grades between high Cs and low Bs (and even got an F in one of my subjects). My parents are forcing me to leave IB if I don't get high grades. They have been giving me these threats since last year. I keep yelling at them telling them that it's not their place to decide, but they are really insistent about it. I get worried that they are serious and I don't know what to do. Tonight, they said that they'll look at my report card in February and they'll make me d…
