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,

Hi guys. For my biology IA topic, I decided to focus on genetics and the subtopic would be inheritance. I have a few ideas on what to focus on but I need to narrow it down. So here are some of my ideas: Investigate on genetic diseases. Find the correlation between the variables that led to a specific genetic disease. Investigate a specific gene that led to a genetic disease. Focus on dominant/recessive alleles and how they affect generations of families I was thinking to choose between with family genes or plant genes. What should I focus on?

Hello. I've been trying to find a topic and research question for my extended essay but I have been unable to do. I have found an experimental technique in the calorimeter which measures energy content/calories and I want to measure energy contents in different foods but I do not know what I should investigate specifically and expand on this. I don't want it to be as simple as "as x increases, y increases". Testing out different foods and seeing which one(s) have the higher calories is way too simple and I'm basically stuck..Please help!

Hi! I need to start working on my IA as soon as possible but I'm struggling with the topic. I was thinking about doing it on French influence on fashion in mexico during "El Porfiriato", but my teacher said it was too vague and that i was focusing on other things rather than in history. Then I thought i could write it on "to what extent did Coco Chanel contributr to the womens right movement in the 19th century? This are just ideas, but if you could give me some topic ideas you would really really help me. Thank you

Hey everyone, So... I'm planning on taking the IB entrance exam of St. Roberts CHS. The exam is in November, which is only a month away. I was wondering, does anyone know how it's going to go down this year? We all know COVID-19 is among us (play too much video-games) now, and there is a very high risk of getting it. From the videos I saw about the IB entrance exam, I can tell that there were a lot of people, probably even more, knowing my grade. I'm assuming that the entrance exam is going to be online, and I'm honestly really worried. I heard that they will be looking at our grade 7 rep

Hello everyone! I would like to ask for your advice and to share your experience in the matter. Currently at the second year of IB, I have been faxing difficulties with the registration for the finals. I had to take 7 subjects to study (English B HL, Maths SL and Russian A SL as compulsory subjects, History HL, Psychology HL , Spanish an initio SL and Biology SL as required by the IB). However, I have learnt that I will have to choose one additional subject that will not appear on my Diploma. The only possible subjects for me to choose from are biology and Spanish ab initio, however, for -
Hi! I’m currently searching for some topics for language B (in my case, English B HL) extended essay. And I thought I found my one: doing a cat.2 (probably) about the musical Hamilton, which is my favourite musical ever. For analysis, I though about songs Alexander Hamilton, My Shot and Who lives, Who Dies , Who Tells Your Story. As far as I’m concerned, the last song I mentioned is clean, but in Alexander Hamilton the words such as b*stard and w*ore are used, and in My Shot sh*t. Is there any rule that there can be no swearings in the language B extended essay? I seriously love the topic

Hello there, I am currently struggling a bit. In only a few weeks time I will have to hand in the formula, with my chosen subjects for the IB. But the thing is, that I am really indecisive. The subjects don’t really interest me as much, and I am fairly neutral. And I don’t have the slightest idea on what I would study in university or if I would even want to study abroad. But what I do know is, that I couldn’t see myself going for a scientific of medical profession ever in this life. I was thinking about choosing these following subjects: HL: German, English,Geography SL: Mathe

My current topic is To what extent does the social class we are born into affect us and our future? on The Outsiders. I was thinking it was good for the literature category, but my teacher first said it was okay, then said it was not okay, and she said that the book is not literature. I realized that she doesn't really know how to help me even and I started searching up online, but got even more confused. Is this topic good? Or should I change it?

Hi guys, I've been in DP for about 3 months now and have been taking HL Econ, Chem and Bio. My first Chem test is coming up next week and I am completely screwed. My teacher is a nice guy, but he doesn't teach properly ( first few weeks was just him filling in the workbook that he gave us) , or as well as he could in comparison to the other chem teacher that creates powerpoints, teaching videos etc. I have have found Chem so difficult and will have to go through the whole unit again before my test.. Anyways, I only chose Chem because I thought that Hl chem and bio were subjects that

Hi, I am very confused about the IAs. My teachers haven't explained it because I presume they assume that everyone knows about them. Do I have to do an IA for all my subjects? What is the importance of the IA? How much is it weighed? When is it usually due? How much time is contributed to it? Please help me. I am freaking out and I am so lost. Thank you to whoever replies.

Hi everyone. I'm having a little trouble with my Math IA., I would like to do the topic "The Mathematics behind Medical Testing", where I would speak about false positives / false negatives and the probability of getting them. However, I don't know where to get data from. Am I supposed to make up a hypothetical situation / disease and then make fake numbers for it ? Is that even allowed..? I would be using conditional probability to find the probability of a student testing positive for the XYZ disease, actually having the disease. I would be using the conditional probability

Hey, The rq for my math ia is finding the ideal volume and surface area of lifebuoy ring. By ideal, i meant where a person won't be slipping through it and he/she is able to fit though it. I know that oi need to find the formulas for surface are and volume of a torus. for personal engagement or doing something new, i thought why not find this ideal surface area and volume of lifebuoy ring. Could anyone suggest me how to proceed from here and is this rq enough unique enough for ib not to cut down the marks?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if I could get your opinion on whether this topic is appropriate for a Math Exploration in HL. I am planning on analyzing Poker Odds, mainly by focusing on Pot and Card Odds. I will certainly be using conditional probability, Bayes Theorem, Factorials, Permutations, etc. I will basically give an invented scenario and, from there, I will find the probabilities of having a certain hand and of winning based on the opponent calling or betting. I will also use probability to determine if the odds of the hand are profitable to continue playing. So, what do you guys thin

Hi everyone, I just started year 12 this week. Unsure of what I wanted to do in the future, I chose HL Chem, Bio, Econ and SL Eng Lang Lit, Chinese B and Math AA. Now that I have had at least one session with each subject, I'm really starting to doubt my choices. Firstly, I dont really know what career would require the 3 HL's that I have chosen. I know that Chem and bio would be good for medicine but I believe that HL Math was important to have as well. Furthermore, I dont have any desire to study medicine, nor do I think that I am smart enough for medicine, and to do well in these subj

Hi everyone, I am researching for my history EE, and I am having troubles with finding the evidence for an event. The event consists in a conversation between the king and Mussolini, which is mentioned in multiple books but without any reference to a primary source, but always to other secondary sources (other historians' books ) or no reference at all. My supervisor was bemoaning this, however it seems fair that there is no "transcript" of a private conversation. Is it common\acceptable? How can I back this event better? Thank you in advance -

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I need to do my Math SL IA on SIR model. (Simulation of pandemics) There is a hypothetical and isolated country with 10 million people. Then, there are 10 immigrants who entered this country and 5 of them are infected. R0 is 3, and I am varying the immunity rate. My research question is how does the immunity rate affect the spread of the virus? I am having difficulties in simulating a mathematical function which will simulate the behaviour of this case with SIR model. Could somebody please he

Hey guys so I foolishly chose to do physics, Chem and math all HL and now I'm struggling. I've found a YouTuber : Mitch Campbell who is quite helpful but are there any other resources you would recommend, especially for Math and Chem. I don't have the best teachers so I feel like I have to teach myself which further adds to the stress.
