1. What is your real name?

Petra.

2. Where are you from?

Southern Sweden.

3. How did you find out about IB Survival?

I was trying to find examples of past Maths IAs, or help, or whatever. In panic.

4. What made you register on IB Survival?

Two things: I really liked the friendly we-can-do-this atmosphere, plus I didn't research the downloading thing enough, so I thought you only needed to register to access uploaded files. I like the idea of earning that right, though. :D

5. When did you (approximately) register here?

Late November '08, I reckon.

6. What is your favourite IB subject?

Um. Difficult. I enjoy French B HL... and History HL... and Swedish A1 SL... and Maths SL and Chemistry SL and English A2 HL and writing the EE. I do not, however, approve of ToK.

7. When are you graduating?

June 03, 2009! Sitting all my exams in May 2009.

8. What are your plans for university?

If I get an offer from Edinburgh, I'll do French and Linguistics there. If not... I have no idea. Perhaps I might study a French course at the university in the area (Lund), or do French and Linguistics at Aberdeen or York...

9. What are your free-time hobbies?

Internetty things, obviously. Playing the treble recorder, doing yoga, reading, cross stitching and knitting... But the three first ones are the only ones that happen regularly, really.

10. If you could change one thing on IB Survival, what would it be?

I think I would make it more obvious how to become a VIP. It's all a bit fussy as it is.

1. What is your real name?

Hyo-In. Hence the nickname Hughie (or Huey) - other girls couldn't pronounce it well enough.

2. Where are you from?

I was born in Seoul, South Korea. Currently studying in Sydney, Australia though.

3. How did you find out about IB Survival?

My friends were talking about this site for some time - I paid no attention to them whatsoever. But then I was stuck for my Chem IA and decided to pay this site a visit, to see if there's anything on here that I could use.

4. What made you register on IB Survival?

Same reason as Hyperbole. I agree with the Admin staff's decision to make it a VIP thing, though, cuz if it wasn't I would've probably just downloaded what I needed and went off, completely forgetting about this site the moment I finished downloading those IA samples.

5. When did you (approximately) register here?

Early December or maybe mid-December 2008.

6. What is your favourite IB subject?

Maths HL and Economics HL. I enjoy English HL as well, and TOK, well, yes, I like the idea of it. The others - I don't hate them, but then they aren't my favourite.

7. When are you graduating?

Official graduation ceremony is in Feb. 2010 but I won't be able to attend it methinks. Exam finishes on 16, Nov. of 2009.

8. What are your plans for university?

I would love to go to Oxford :S Merton at that. Thinking of majoring in Economics or Maths, so it'd be: E&M or Maths or PPE at Oxford.

9. What are your free-time hobbies?

Internet - yeah I enjoy going around wasting my time reading useless stuff on the internet. I also love writing stories, and practicing drums is fun as well. I've started fencing sometime last year - love it with passion.

10. If you could change one thing on IB Survival, what would it be?

None that I can think of at the moment :S The only possible request is that this site often shuts down on my computer, currently in Korea - the site literally becomes inaccessible, with a page appearing and saying "The Page cannot be Displayed" everytime I try to go on to this site. Not sure if it's only my problem or not, but maybe you could do something to fix it? :S
