I'm trying to write my WIT essay for higher literature, but I'm having trouble. My question is "How is Hanna portrayed as the victim in part three, chapter eight in "The Reader?"" If you have any points on how she's portrayed as a victim that'd be great!!

Hello! So I'm starting my first year of IB this year and there were mistakes made in my schedule. Due to this mix up and the number of classes available for TOK resulted in me not having it in my schedule at all. I sat down with my teachers and was told that I had to drop a HL class to balance out my schedule and make 3rd period available for TOK. Our school has four years of IB classes running for the first time so that's why there isn't loads of classes available for each subject and if you are from Chicago you know about the budget cuts, firing of teachers, and cut of supplies. Some advice

I am about to enroll the IB DP programme by the end of summer. I am a little concerned about my subject combination for being too rigorous. I am up for a challenge, yet a bearable one. In the future, I would like to study at uni in the US. However, I am not sure in what area I may want to study in. But I'm leaning towards Economics/Finance and/or environmental sciences. (Hence why I have both Econ and Bio at HL). Overall, I was wondering if you could share any thoughts on what you think about my subject combination. Is it reasonable considering my future plans? Also, as English is my

What I'm trying to ask is pretty obvious from the title, but I still want to know. I'm doing the DP next year and I want to know how much math is involved in Chemistry HL. I'm decent at math, this year I'm getting 80% in math so far. I have two options for next year, I can do Chemistry HL and SEHS SL or Biology HL and Chemistry SL. I want to do something in the medical field in the future and I just need some advice. So how much math is involved

Hi guys Today is my 3rd day of the IB diploma. I'm doing HL Bio, chem and econ and I am doing SL English, French and maths studies. I feel as though I'm struggling already and although I'm trying really hard to grasp things some subjects such as biology Im finding really complex and hard (we are doing biological molecules currently). Also there seems to be a lot of content to learn and my biology teacher goes through things really fast and Im finding it hard to keep up. At (I)GCSE I got 9A*s and 2As but I find this really hard. To anyone who does biology find bio molecules a hard topic and o

I need to make my course selection really soon and I do not know what I should pick... So far, I have decided on some of my potential subjects, but I need your help to make my final decision. The subjects I am considering are: - English A Language and Literature (SL) - Japanese A Language and Literature (SL/HL) - Math (SL) - Biology (HL) - Chemistry (SL/HL) - Geography (HL) Please Help me! Anything from your experience would be really really helpful.

Hey, guys, it's Daminark here. I've got a question, purely out of curiosity. There's a student in my class who had a scheduling mistake and ended up with 5 HL classes. One time in math class we were talking and our math teacher (who is also the IB coordinator) said she would not write a recommendation for him to take 5 HL classes. Apparently, as an IB coordinator, she can do that. She said that she wasn't sure about 6. Does anyone know anybody who was able to take 6? (or if there are any ib coordinators on here, can you recommend 6?) Again, pure curiosity since it's already too late for me, an

What did you all think about the paper 1? Found it pretty hard and not at all what i expected, so atm just hoping for lower grade boundaries and that the other two papers will be easier

hi guys, I really need some advice here! I know nothing about the IB diploma except that you need at least 3 HL courses! So far I have put together the following potential schedule: HL economics HL history HL english lit HL Bio SL Mandarin SL Math Are these courses too rigorous to take at the same time? I know some of the ones I'm considering, like IB mandarin, are pretty big jumps from the courses I'm currently taking... But I have no idea what they're like. Help me out, I'm new! Thanks

Hello everyone! I was just wondering if there are any people in this website that are going to take, are currently taking, or have finished the Math HL online course through Pamoja Education. If there are any of you that are currently taking it or have already taken it, please share your experience! Is the course harder than the usual classroom course? How do we get marked (Online tests?)? I just want to know the experience that anyone of you guys have concerning this online course! Thanks!!

Simple enough idea; which options do you plan to take tomorrow/next year or whenever and why? I'm taking Medical and EM Waves because my Physics teacher told our class that those are the easiest two. I'm basically counting on my paper 3 score tomorrow to pick up the slack that my measly performance in paper 2 (traumatized for life) produced.

Hello There, I am looking to purchase books to help me out in HL math. If you could suggest some, that would be nice, the really helpful ones. I as thinking of these ones, because my friend has it and looks ok: Book 1: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/0521699290/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB Book 2: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/0521699304/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB Also if you guys are familiar also please suggest a good chemistry course companion HL i have a study guide from oxford. Also for physics sl?

I'm about to go into my senior year in IB. I've been looking at some colleges I want to go to, and a lot of them say that I have to get 5's on my higher level exams in order to get any credit. Well that freaked me out! How hard would you guys say it is to get 5's. I haven't gotten my standard level scores back yet, so I can't really judge the difficulty based on experience. Thanks! In case this helps, here are my higher level courses: Spanish Literature 20th Century History TOK (is there even an exam for this?)

Hello I'm in IB1 and I have want make my standard level chemistry higher. I already have 3 high levels (physics, math, english B) but I don't think universities in the us/uk value this subject very much and I thought I'd take chemistry HL to compensate for that. My 1st term score was 38/42 and I want to raise it or at least keep it the same. Is that possible if I take HL chemistry?
