Brienna Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 If you loved the essays and reports in MYP, IB should be a good fit for you. Almost everything is in essay format. Those who have the most trouble are the usually ones who are overwhelmed by that at the beginning.I don't know what classes would be required to get into law, but you sound like you're on the right track Unfortunately, there are no guaranteed "cheat codes". For help with specific classes, just search around the forums. There's all sorts of topics. Some other study sites are helpful as well, and video how-tos and invaluable when you get stuck. Best of luck for next week Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeriPeri Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Don't stress to much - IB is not as bad as it is made to sound - just don't procrastinate (that's usually the most common cause for worry!!) and stay organized :-)As for prepping - my advice to you would be to fully utilize this forum - like the previous person has mentioned - there's a lot of helpful threads that will help you out!Also check out this website for chem - I found it helpful for reviewing:http://ibchem.com/And look for "Richard Thornley" on youtube - he is GREAT at explaining IB chem material. It was helpful for me to watch his videos to understand some concepts.You can google math IB questions from previous exams - those are helpful to review for math tests.As for English - make sure you keep up with reading and participate in class discussion - should be a breeze if you love English like me :-)Those are the only subjects I can help you out with because those are the only ones I have in common with you - but I hope I was of some help to you!Good luck :-)) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBKID4lyf Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 It really is that bad. I dont think it's worth lying to you about this. it is a lot of work. it is.But then everything in life worth doing is! You just have to try your best and know that it is all going to be worrht it in the end! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
