My sl chemistry exam is coming up in a few weeks, and I´m really struggling with studying. I started studying(wrote notes following the syllabus, read the textbook, watched a few videos, did multiple choice questions) a few weeks ago and have already gotten through most of the topics. However, whenever I try a past exam or questions in the textbook´s chapter review, I just can´t seem to do it. I seem to just completely forget whatever new information I learnt the day before, or how I´m supposed to solve certain problems. I´m starting to feel stressed since my exams coming up soon, and wante

I moved to Psychology HL from Mathematics HL at the start of grade 12, and right now I have to catch up one year of Psychology HL, which the topics cover biological approach, cognitive approach, and sociocultural approach. I can self-study myself but I really don't get how we do the exams.. Do I really have to study everything? Or is there an efficient method of studying these topics? Like I heard something about the Learning Outcomes that can help with the exam questions, but I really don't understand it. Can someone please explain? Thank you!

I have been struggling with my Maths due to how I was changing schools twice before, in and out of different systems and I really need help with the syllabus now but also some of the basics from before. Does anyone know where perhaps online that I may get free tips or help on my maths?

I hope I get a response that may aid my situation, but please take time for this 5 minute - read and read the whole thing, and please bear with me as I give you some background knowledge over my case, as I need all the help that I could get at this stage. So over the past 2 years (2018 & 2019) of IB I've dealt with 3 different teachers, obviously with different expertise, who taught me IB Biology higher lever (HL). Unfortunately the first teacher in my first year (2018) of the dp programme was of very low expertise. The teacher demanded we abide by the notes he compiled, which we

Hey everyone, Hope you're doing well whether you just started your IB or are already getting closer to your mock exams. I'm trying to find out about how students study and what resources they use. It would be great if you guys could fill out this survey. Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes. Its all anonymous. https://goo.gl/forms/avRQe0DEHksywyWi1 Thanks

So the teacher gave us a past paper where we had to analyse and compare and contrast between two texts. I kind of struggle with writing that because I had no idea how to build up on the analysis. I scored pretty poorly on that and I asked the teacher for some feedback and she told me that my text wasn't organised and that it was all over the place. So I was wondering if anyone could please tell me how to structure the text for analyzing and comparing and contrasting between two texts? -
Does anyone recommend or actually websites or apps to study for their exams? Ive looked into free things such as quizlet but am not sure how useful they actually are. And does anyone use paid things such as kognity? The price is quiet steep and Id like to know if its actually worth paying the money or simply studying the oldschool way. Thanks

Hi guys, The May exams are here and I just want to wish everyone the best of luck for them This is the final stretch! Who else will be taking the exams? Are you guys ready, and how are you feeling about them? -
Well, I am taking the IB exams in 5 days and I haven't done much studying. I have only covered my maths option and briefly all biology. Both of these subjects are HL. However, do you think it is doable to study maths HL and bio HL in 5 days? If yes, can you please suggest some ways?? I'm in desperate need of some advice.!!!

Hi, everyone! I am interested in studying law in the future, however, I do not know if it is better to study Law as an undergraduate program, which is possible in the UK, or to choose some other course (I want to study in Canada then) and after it, study law. What should I do? And what should I study before the law? Thank you so much for your answers!

Now I know that it depeds on how much work you get done but assuming that you are very efficient, what would be the ideal time spent on studying? Right now I have been spending 1-2 hours a day studying and sometimes 5-6 hours on weekends. I have finished one topic in chemistry, one topic in physics and one topic in maths all by my own so I'm far ahead the rest of the class. I'm not sure how to proceed though, am I wasting my time? I feel like I could do much more and that I have too much free time. Is there anything you wish you would have done in your first year?

So in a few weeks I have my semester exams, I am in the 1st year of IB. Right now literally all I've been doing is praticing past papers rather than revising the subjects even though I know that's not the way to do it :/ (I find revision really boring lol) Can you give me tips on how to revise and when I should practice past papers? Here are my subjects to be specific: English HL, Biology HL, Chemistry HL Maths SL, Physics SL, French B SL

Hi Is there any study groups that I can join? Or, does anyone make a study group? It would be great if we could have a study group where we all are taking similar subjects I'm currently taking Chemistry SL, TOK, Math SL, English HL, Social HL and French SL None of my classmates are interested in making a study group online... Thank you!! Chantel

Hi everyone. I've written two short guides on IBS: Time managementPreventing and managing stressThe following is about how to create realistic plans. It's adapted from my blog. I hope it helps. There are two easy ways to create feasible plans: Pretend you have 30% the energy you usually have Copy a plan you’ve completed successfully beforeNote that I’ve left out the most obvious way – looking at a calendar and the things you have to do then filling up the hours. Why don’t we stick to plans? It’s simply too difficult For some reason, if we imagine a free day we imagine a lo

As the exams are approaching and I'm currently studying ITGS HL, we really haven't covered much of the syllabus in class (we technically have to self study the subject ) . So, what do you guys think the best method of revision is? Note: I'm also looking for an ITGS study buddy/challenger etc. PM me if you're interested!

Hello all, I'm starting my second year of DP next year, and I want a textbook for SL Physics to work with. We don't use textbooks in my class, but last year I had a hard time without something physical to refer to when pre-writing notes. I need something to help me prepare for the exam itself. I was going to go with the Oxford book here but I don't think it's for the new curriculum (though I could be wrong). I've also read lots of mixed reviews about it. I don't want to drop upwards of $50 on a textbook that won't help me. (Not to mention I need one for chemistry too, that post is here.) My

Hello friends! I'm starting my second year of DP soon, and I want to have a textbook for HL Chem to work with this year. We don't use textbooks in my class, but last year I had a hard time without something physical to refer to when pre-writing notes. Also, I'd like to have something that's IB-specific. I have a Barron's study guide for general chem, and it's very good (my favourite brand for all study guides), but I need something to help me prepare for the exam itself. I was going to go with the Pearson HL Chemistry book here but it doesn't look like it's for the new curriculum. It's the b

Hiii, i'm fairly new to IBsurvival and in 2 weeks ill be starting my first year of IB. I have a few questions id like to ask you guys... 1. How did you study for your end of unit tests? 2. For any of your HL subjects, was it likely your teacher would use SL papers? (since some topics are both part of SL and HL core) 3. Would you recommend studying from past papers from years that had a different syllabus at the time? Have you done it? Please state the subjects you used since some syllabi don't change that much! 4. I know there are several threads for this but if you feel like, list your s
