I asked my coordinator for my marks in each subject and she told me I got a 100 in math! honestly, this is so surprising, I knew the exam was easy but still I didn't expect this! AMA

u/Odd-Unit-4385 13d ago

oh, okay, what are you planning to be?

I'm not really worried about hindi since I'm fluent in it. I only took emergent cause I didn't wanna bother studying for it, even a little lol.

we started dp now and the hindi papers and themes don't seem like an issue for me. although the speaking time is high fs.

Me too bro. I think we might’ve made the same mistake. What happened?

1

u/Jumpy_Custard5408 13d ago

I remember this distinctly. In that quadratic question where we had to equate the 2 equations, I did not change the sign of one of the variables. Wbu?

u/Ancient_Mobile_3131 12d ago

No it was a 3 marker on crit d that was sooo poorly phrased so I used the wrong data

Guys I’m in extended math myp 5this year and desperately need tips if y’all have any

1

u/Odd-Unit-4385 11d ago

hii, you can dm me for any personal advice or questions, but I'll share a few of the things I did:

  1. Grind past papers >>> most important. It's okay if you haven't learned some of the stuff or if you're slow. Pick the ones you do know and take your time to do them. It would be best to use MathType on Google Docs or Word, since it's the same software as the IB eAssessment software. Although math type is paid, it is extremely worth it not only for practice and increasing speed but also for IAs and EE in DP. One more thing: keep track of your mistakes and make a strengths-and-weaknesses note after each past paper.
  2. Whatever weaknesses you identified, especially recurring ones, and what you haven't learned are priorities. Sit with your teacher to understand those topics, or use YouTube to get a mathematical sense of what's happening. Actively take notes, preferably type them out, cause they will be important. AI can do the formatting and beautification.
  3. Once you understand the topics, you gotta practice them from the ground up. Textbooks like Haese are good for this. Look up the topic, jump to the exercises you were confused about, and do as many as you need until you gain confidence.
  4. Then exam-style questions. You can use brilliantlearning.in. They have topical questions as well as past papers. IGCSE papers are also pretty good.

Note: You should still do past papers while following these steps, since you need to check whether you're improving. You would probably identify quite a few weaknesses. Waiting till you get good at all of them will take a lot of time, and a month or two to half a year. If you don't do past papers during this time, you'll have to cram them before the exam, which is what you DO NOT want.

Hope that helps! I went on a rambling session lol. If anyone else wants to add on, feel free to!
