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…

I want to get into Pre-IB and I feel lost. I know that there's an Info night, but I want to know if there are entrance exams and etc. If there are how do I not fail them, what subjects should I review and if it helps I'm going to Bayview SS, and feel that my current school sucks (I'm in grade 8. I'll ask my french teacher for vocab sheets, and eng teacher for extra help. My average last term was 82%. If you could plz give my advice on where to go from there in preparing for Pre-IB it would be greatly appreciated, like, did any of you wish that you had done anything in grade 8 that would've helped you better prepare for IB and also, could you please recommend an online g…

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?

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 a grade 10 student now and I'm studying in an IB school in NL. I heard from school about the e-assessment stuff from Grade 9 and it seems quite complicated. Do I have to get at least 5 for each subject on e-assessment? If I didn't get a 5 for every subject, am I not allowed to enter DP? Or do I have to repeat the year? Please help it really gives me a lot of anxiety

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? …

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.

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 …

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…

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 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 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…
