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? …

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…

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.

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

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.

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.

Hello, I'm going to be completely honest (I hope the IB doesn't see this lol) but for my design e-portfolio, I didn't have an expert to interview so I posted on my twitter for people to give me feedback, and a lot of theme did, which was amazing i got over 15 replies with really detailed answers, which i then used as feedback my "expert" game me, now im starting to think, wouldn't TurnItin detect it and count it as plagiarism?? I've already given my work to the IB so theres no going back there, but should i go private on my twitter until like september??

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 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

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.
