I hope everyone is having an amazing summer! For new students who are eager to learn ahead, here are my flashcards from the school year: https://github.com/ClosedCaptions/HighschoolFlashcards The repository includes all my subjects from grade 9, including the required Pre-IB courses and my electives: music and computer science. I excluded my gym flashcards as it does not have a final exam. I plan to keep updating the repository as I progress through school. If anyone would like to change the formatting to the French flashcards, feel free to edit them and attach the new file under thi

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.

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

Hey, I just took the IB entrance exam (At Bayview SS if anyone is wondering) and before I took the exam I had a lot of questions and concerns which I can now answer myself. If anyone has any questions for me, ask away!

So I dropped out of IB about two weeks ago and now I feel really unsure because when I dropped out I was really unmotivated and disliked IB but now that I’m past that I feel like I want to stay in IB. I pid the first instalment fee and it’s already been refunded and I’ve already picked my courses for the other school I’m transferring to. I’m in second year pre-IB and I plan on going into Waterloo Mechanical Engineering Co-Op. I originally wanted to drop out but now I feel unconfident about making it into Waterloo without IB. Should I go back and try and re-enroll I only recently dropped out? I

Helloooo.. First of all, got to say that I adore this site haha. So far it’s been quite insightful with my IB exam prep. I have applied to Dr G W William’s IB program, and for the exam portion, do any of you remember the time you were given for each subject? I just want to prepare myself so I’m not dealing with any surprises. Also, any status on the confirmation of the IB World Program at Williams, or is it not discussed with the students? - M

Hey guys! So I've just finished grade 9 and 10 pre-ib and will begin Year 1 of the actual IB soon. Personally, grade 9 was pretty easy but grade 10 was actually pretty tough since units from the IB were incorporate into our curriculum. I did alright during these years but could have tried much harder. So, is Grade 11 a lot harder than the previous two years? Did you struggle at first? Feel free to leave any other tips, thanks!

Hi guys! In September I am going to enter the IB programme. One of the subjects I dread the most is English A HL. I am not an English native (I am Polish), therefore I would like to ask for any advice on how I can prepare for the programme over the summer. An exam I have recently taken assessed my English level as C1. I will be grateful for your opinion and advice. Take care

I'm currently in PreIB and we are just about to turn in our applications for which subjects we want to take. so far this is what I've decided on: Swedish A HL English B HL Psych/History HL Math SL ESS SL Psych/History SL so my only kind of struggle right now is if i should take history or psychology at higher level. Both courses are challenging and people keep giving different reviews and i don't know what to choose. The psych teacher at my school says that if he was a student he wouldn't choose HL psych and in history is so many dates to keep track of

Hey! As you can see I want to know how to prepare myself for IB. I'm in the pre-IB class and after holidays I'm joining IB.

But do you know what else should I do to be well prepared? Any tips or advices?
