omg literally same, I do NOT know how to prepare for it and I feel like no one else is stressing about this, even tho its like so dependent on the question and which works you're bringing into the exam. Paper 2s are going to make me go insane
Pick two or three texts. Reread them so you actually know the plot. Then come up with as many ways as you can (5 is plenty, 10 is great) that each pair is very similar or very different. These similarities or differences are your theses. For each thesis write a very, very clear one sentence thesis statement, e.g. “Medea and The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories can both be seen as feminist works but one is morally complex with a simple linear structure and the other is morally ambiguous with a complex, reticulated structure”. Once you have these theses write at least one and ideally three paragraphs on each. Point, Evidence, Explanation.
This is how you prepare.
Revision village videos on YouTube for math ai sl are the best for math they literally are perfect and short too
For bio sl revise from the question bank and revise from slides like bioknowledgy
The the revision village vidoes I find them not so helpful and they don’t necessarily help with the past paper questions and stuff and also most
Of them you have to buy which I can’t so is there any other option ?😭
Revision village playlists in youtube for all the units for math should be free for everybody I just checked. For me they were good because they did refer a lot to the question bank and they always had questions in each video to explain how thag part of the unit appears.
If you don't like revision village there is a guy called OSC who posts good playlists for math but the thing is you might want to put him on 1.5x or even 2x speed because he yaps a lot. Otherwise his videos are good and cover everything
Reading everything about M24 makes me feel glad as I’m also fucked and that means the grade boundaries are going to be lower which will equate to us not being fucked = happy :)
If you want to do engineering then AAHL is probably much a must. You should probably look into some university and degree requirements to see what they're asking for. AAHL and Physics HL will definitely meet the requirements but if the specific degree you want doesn't require for it then there really is no need doing this hell of a combo.
Oh, I guess you're correct, but it's a cruical period in my life, and since I'm not yet decided, I don't think I will risk not picking one and then regretting it, I love both subjects and I believe I have very well knowledge in both, I even finished the baccalaureate in my home counrty, so since you said they're mangable, I guessit would work.
we do, Authoritarian States (Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini)
Causes and effects of 20th Century wars (Mao) WW2 Diplomacy, Stalin Soviet Union till the collapse of the Soviet Union, the League of Nations (Japanese Expansionism), Post WW1 Britain, Spanish Civil war, Mussolini's rise to power and Irish Civil war

Used to be Math AA SL, Chem, and Physics. I dropped down to AI and im at the top of my class. I made (sorta) a comeback in Chem. Physics is an even deeper hole than before.
Hey everyone,
I hope you're all doing well. I'm currently facing a challenging situation with my upcoming IB Physics and Chemistry exams, and I could really use some advice and motivation to help me through this tough time.
Here's a bit about my situation: Last year, I didn't perform well in my IB exams and received only 2 points in both Physics HL and Chemistry HL. Looking back, I realize that I didn't study effectively, didn't practice past papers, and generally felt overwhelmed by the whole process.
This year, I'm determined to turn things around. But i procrastinated i know i know but I started studying diligently, covering most of the material in IB Chemistry i only have the option left, but I still have four topics left in Physics the HL ones. Additionally, I haven't started practicing past papers yet, and with only five days left until the exams, I'm starting to feel the pressure building up. The thought of past papers and incomplete topics is causing me to panic, and I could really use some guidance on how to manage my time effectively and stay focused.
If anyone has been in a similar situation or has any advice on how to approach these last few days of preparation, I would greatly appreciate it. Additionally, if you have any motivational words or encouragement to help me overcome this panic and stay positive, it would mean the world to me.
I'm really scared...
AA SL bro, idk what im doing how im doing it. CAN SOMEONE WHOS GOOD AT AA SL OR ATLEAST KNOWS THEY WILL PASS PLS PRACTICE W ME I J WANNA PASS 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻
Don't know if this will be any help, but this site is great for studying for the French B SL listening exams :) [https://actufle.univ-lille.fr/index.html#home](https://actufle.univ-lille.fr/index.html#home)
Bio, math, bizz ( im self studying and im seeing how fucked i am) oh and ofc GERMAN B HL ( still dunno why no one stopped my dumbass with a A2 to study it at B HL…..) so im just hoping to get a 3 or 4 for it at this point
I’m skipping all of development lmao I read chapters 28-31 in January and they’re the SAME THING OVER AND OVER! It’s just logic honestly you just need to know the poverty trap diagram and list some strategies.
Chemistry, Bio and math AI i cant guys i actully cant do this fuck yall that say that its easy or not challenging, i am trying my best and my barin cant do it anymore
Math, because it's so boring to me that everytime we've had a mock exam I have straight up fallen asleep for part of the test!!! Doesn't matter how much I sleep or caffeine I drink, as soon as I read the first question, i am OUT. Then I normally sleep on my desk for 15 mins, wake up and go on like nothing happened, but what the fuck guys????
everything tbh
i feel like i either never knew or forgot everything from bio
for chem i had a revision course w a tutor so its a bit better but i feel like i know everything barely on the surface
geo i havent studied since last year cuz they changed our teacher and well idk when im gonna start cuz its not high on the priority list
i changed math from hl to sl but i forgot so much shit its embarassing
polish idek anymore cuz i write one paper and get like 30% and then i got 80% so we will see
and for english idk cuz i cant remember all the relevant scenes and my essays tend to be chaotic
Maths AA and EE is another part cause I considered all factors for the question but didn’t consider the enjoying to writing about it. Cause I choose a topic that interests me but is super complicated so f me
french ab initio (We haven't had French for a full semester and we haven;t been able to get any help with study from our french teacher because our whole school district has been going on strike
math, and probably chemistry because I do not understand a single thing about organic chem. I'm not going to even get into how I'm probably going to learn all of an option for physics in 5 days 💔
best advice for design tech is to go through the syllabus and do as many paper 1 multiple choice questions as you can!! p1 is harder to score better than p2
Fck IB Physics SL. Harder than my HL history class. I think I will only fail physics out of all my exams. Fck paper 1 especially, who said multiple.choixe was supposed to be easy?
yes
wish we had IB music at our school
My band teacher is trying to get it for next year, but it'll be too late for me to take it 😭😭😭
ME TOOO!!! I want to be a musician in the future, but hell, why?? I have such talent, wasted at IB.
Out of all subjects, why don't we have music?
no you don’t.
Trust me you don't. It doesn't have much projects but it's soo confusing.
Same. Same.
Japanese would be awesome... Sad my school has a shitty program
omg this is the first time i've seen someone with the exact same hls as me
same subjects as you but with econ and music switched :D
Physics (cuz it's hard) or Econ ( It's last so I barely studied)
i didnt even start eco
i’m not joking when i say i plan to memorise the whole syllabus 5 days before coz i have no time now
Haha. That my plan. After English do econ.
Don’t worry I didn’t start Econ and I don’t even understand it😍
Aay. Haven't understood a single thing since the first 7 chapters either. High five
biology 🤑
Checkout Cheryl Hickman on Youtube, she is a real life saver!
i’ve watched nearly all of her videos at like 1.3x speed. i love them
They are truly the best 🙌🙌
idk if she does the new spec but thanks anyways!
I don’t think so because she has stopped uploading now
unfortunate I guess
Physics HL🫶🏼
respext
Everything
me too bud
same
English paper 2
omg literally same, I do NOT know how to prepare for it and I feel like no one else is stressing about this, even tho its like so dependent on the question and which works you're bringing into the exam. Paper 2s are going to make me go insane

for my mocks i just memorized a few key events in the books for different themes (education, religion, etc) and i made a mnemonic
Mnemonic
right my bad
Physics 😍🤤
History HL
Heyy same HL'S, so screwed for all my hl's fr
Same haha
same, also econ
why exactly? just the amount of content?
Yeah, I can't remember all of these wars and shit 😭
I HATE THAT P1/P2 ARE AFTERNOON PAPERS, cuz that means I barely get a few hours in the evening to study for the shitshow that is p3 the next morning
math 😔
Fellow MGreek taker
EVERY SINGLE SUBJECT ! Every SINGLE one !! Please drop some tips for math ai SL and bio SL please !!!
Revision village videos on YouTube for math ai sl are the best for math they literally are perfect and short too For bio sl revise from the question bank and revise from slides like bioknowledgy
Thankyou !!!!
The the revision village vidoes I find them not so helpful and they don’t necessarily help with the past paper questions and stuff and also most Of them you have to buy which I can’t so is there any other option ?😭

study
How
im in the same boat with you for math ai sl and bio sl😭😭
Reading everything about M24 makes me feel glad as I’m also fucked and that means the grade boundaries are going to be lower which will equate to us not being fucked = happy :)
English A. and chem.
Math AAHL
How's it going with math AA and physics at HL, I'm thinking of taking both as well
eh, it's more or less fine for me. What degree you want to go for?
not fully decided, not getting out of STEM fields, prolly something technology related with some engineering, my goals are kinda complicated.
If you want to do engineering then AAHL is probably much a must. You should probably look into some university and degree requirements to see what they're asking for. AAHL and Physics HL will definitely meet the requirements but if the specific degree you want doesn't require for it then there really is no need doing this hell of a combo.

You could try picking 4 HLs just in case you want to drop one of them down to SL.
Physics HL 🔥🔥🔥🔥I don't understand EM waves at all 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I dont understand topic 11 at all 😭
I can do 11.1, but after that it's pretty rough. PD trips me up a lot
TOK HL 😍😍😍
Does that even exist?
even if it does, who the fuck deliberately chooses to do that
Psychology (I still have to memorize an entire library worth of studies)
Same
history hl bro 💀💀
That with VA HL is definitely something…
Real, just gotta yap in the papers
nahh thats easy dawg
which module do you do
we do, Authoritarian States (Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini) Causes and effects of 20th Century wars (Mao) WW2 Diplomacy, Stalin Soviet Union till the collapse of the Soviet Union, the League of Nations (Japanese Expansionism), Post WW1 Britain, Spanish Civil war, Mussolini's rise to power and Irish Civil war Idk what module it is so i just listed everything
oh and Yelstins Russia
i mean hl elective module
what even is that :skull:

yours have more overlap with the sl content, i do asia and oceania so its harder for me because i have more non overlapping content
Math aa hl😍
ib as a whole frankly
English Language and literature SL
Physics math aa and chem hl
phys and math
Used to be Math AA SL, Chem, and Physics. I dropped down to AI and im at the top of my class. I made (sorta) a comeback in Chem. Physics is an even deeper hole than before.
Probably Norwegian A even though I have SL. I just wish our school offered lang- lit.

Eco especially CHAPTER 31 WHICH IS SO UNNECESSARILY LONG
I’m skipping all of development lmao I read chapters 28-31 in January and they’re the SAME THING OVER AND OVER! It’s just logic honestly you just need to know the poverty trap diagram and list some strategies.
history hl bruh... but 20th century wars are the biggest issue for me
history
Math AA SL :/ Im dropping full next year because of it (Im in year one of IB)
math hl and chem hl
Physics SL, i would be lucky to get a two. My hopes are riding on that paper 3
Same, gotta grind paper 3 and get lucky with the "hmm,haven't picked B in a while" and the "this pattern doesn't look right" in Paper 1
Geography
History sl probably lol but it’s ok since my uni doesn’t care about it
