so i started pre-ib this year in jan and honestly i am very scraed for the actual program because i failed maths (nobody else in my class failed) and i just made the passing cutoff for chemistry. even though ik i have so much to improve on but considering it was the first time i failed it destroyed me. i really love this video bc it gives me hope that i can bring my grades up these next few years. keep in mind i used to be like a top student before i moved schools to do ib :/
@@jaynahjoy wait you were a top student but then when you started ib you ended up failing math? what happened? was it a time management issue or something like a personal problem, or did you genuinely like find it so hars

Even my school makes it seem like after the first year it's over for you if you haven't been hitting the goals you want but you're still optimistic even in year 2 which is refreshing and I love it!

Yeah I understand that. I find it difficult to summarise as I write quite concise notes from the textbook, so in a way I feel like my 'textbook notes' are already my 'summary/revision notes'. And it feels like I'm just rewriting my notes when I make summary notes. But I guess it depends on the subject on whether it's more content-based or application-based and how each person writes their notes.
hi alicia, thanks for the video, do you have tips for covering all the content for each subject in the weeks leading up to the actual exams? I’m currently 20+ days away from the Nov exams and its kinda freaking me out how i can’t seem to cover every understanding or familiar with quotes neccessary
Not me here weeks before going into the IB program and finally getting around to developing a study plan after procrastinating... Talk about foreshadowing
ugh i rly dont know what im gonna do. Like u said, we need to find a motivation to go on but rn with all the covid stuff and quarantine and the fact that i cannot go out of my room rly frustrates me.
I think MYP is not a good preparation for DP. In fact, I could make a case suggesting that IGCSE is a better preparer, because the people in it are generally more exposed to exams and around 70% of the IB final grade ( external assessment ) originate from there. In comparison MYP is a joke compared to DP. I just competed MYP 5 and am moving to DP in September. I got a 28/32 for science. A 24/32 on the math section. There was a lot controversy over that. But I think more importantly, I took the dive and got lucky. If I could get a 7 for Biology SL/Chemistry SL, or mathematics (6) it would be for the best. Overall counting the average, I got a 46-1/2/56 in the end, so that is around 5.9 ( core subject ) out of a 7. Doesn’t look that bad. But I’d be grateful if I were to achieve a 36 on the IB, which is my goal.
i took MYP and i cant agree more, its such a bs programme, all my firends that came from an IGCSE background had better scores for their first year in DP, i wanted to ask tho, is it true that the extrenal assessments come from IGCSE questions/tests?
What do you mean you got into IB? How does that work? Do you have to take a test? I thought you just pay for tuition and get in. Please, give me more info?
@@thiagogregory1 You have to go to your nearest school with an IB program, and you have to take a test to get in. The test might not be all the same. There is a spcific time to do the test, and it's usualy in the fall before your GR. 9th year. In gr 9-10, it's pre-IB, and 11-12, its IB.

Emil Janev exactly!!! I agree with this so much. I’m in MYP Year 2 (7th grade) and our school just moved to MYP is late 6th grade. It was really hard to start and my grades weren’t how I wished they were but this year is going very well. We are getting our first MYP report card in January and I’ll keep you posted on what I get.

yes it is hard but it is more that you will have to spend many hours doing homework and studying for that class and if you don't like maths it will be quite painful
@@lpawowp it's not THAT hard. I'm doing math HL AA (which is considered harder) but it's manageable. I'm not expecting a 7 but as long as u do maths at least 1 hour a day, always complete homework and prepare for tests you'll be more than fine!!!
@@beataberg3113 lol, one hour everyday????? HAHAHHA lol, I study one week before the exams, but still get good grades. But I get good grades because I use revision village because is bullshit that only homework will help, since homework is extremely easy compared to the exams because the teacher will test you on things that you never saw in class, but revision village helps me to overcome this, otherwise I completely admit that I would fail maths hl with 2 out of 7 lol.
@@dennymanomg9006 it depends on the teacher, my teacher gives a lot of hw, which can take up to 6 h to complete before next lesson, so yeah I would say it's pretty damn hard, sometimes harder than the actual exam. If you have a teacher that wants you to succeed then they will provide you with adequate questions which will help you succeed. It's not possible to learn maths last minute, you have to develop a deep understanding that doesn't depend on revision or memorisation before tests, you should be able to answer maths questions at any time. Which maths course are you taking anyway and what do you define as 'good grades'?
The Biology HL notes were written by a student who received a very high 7 and in terms of the economics, currently i only am selliing them as a full pack of SL/HL material. However, there is not much difference between the two content wise, besides the calculations for HL and theory of the firm stuff. Yes, all the notes are in PDF :) Hope that helps!
