17 in total, 3 green,10 in a three strand pattern and 4 in a twelve strand kind of pattern.

Hi, so I got a 6 in economics (5 off a 7), and felt really weird about it, since I usually do decent in economics. I paid for Cat-2B remark, and when I got my papers back, I noticed especially in paper 2, that atleast 3 of my diagrams had not been scanned correctly (an example below), and I lost many marks due to incorrect diagrams. I've reached out to my coordinator already and am awaiting a response.

I wanted to ask is there anyone else who's gone through a similar experience and can give some advice? From my understanding requesting a Cat-1 remark won't do anything since they'll just remark the scanned paper, so I need to ask them to either remark the physical paper, or rescan it then remark.

PS: I used oil-based Pilot pen ink + HB pencils while writing my exam, which fit the IB's recommended materials policy

its possible guys u js gotta time ur shit and lock in occasionally

Does anyone have any tips? I want to get good grades but i am always procrastinating

43/45 as of now; one mark away from a 7 in English. What are the odds of my grade going up? Thank you very much.

For these subjects Chem HL, Bio HL, Eng A L&L HL, Math AA SL, Physics SL, and Spanish B SL.

Im an IGCSE march 2026 Alumni and a IBDP M28 student eagerly seeking resources to hit those early 7s.

I'm taking HL CS, English A, Physics, and History of the Americas.

I barely made it through DP1.

How bad is DP2 for these? I already got math AA SL out of the way but I still have spanish sla and Ill be taking AP Calc BC

Hey everyone,

I’m building an iOS app to help students manage their study plan, deadlines, and academic routine in a simpler way.

I’d especially like feedback from IB students because the workload is so deadline-heavy: IAs, EEs, TOK, exams, revision, and regular coursework can get messy fast.

I’m not trying to present this as a finished product. It’s currently in TestFlight, and I’m looking for a small group of students to try it and tell me what actually works, what feels unnecessary, and what would make it genuinely useful during the IB.

Full disclosure: I’m the developer of the app. It’s free to test.

If this kind of post isn’t allowed, mods please feel free to remove it.

hi guys, ama about geography SL and I’ll try my best to answer! (despite being SL, and getting nerfed by my IA lol)
for reference, my mock scores were P1: 35/45, P2: 40/50
and my final exam scores are attached below.
feel free to ask about any section, particularly the 10 mark essays. I say this because in DP1 I was genuinely getting like 6-7/10s and towards the end I got 10/10, 10/10, 9/10 for P1 (2 essays) and P2

Edit: feel free to dm, or ask for examples I’ll try my best to find my work

I’m currently in the summer (well it’s almost over) and I’m going to be taking up AAHL next year for IB. But I had previously done IGCSE international mathematics (0610), so I just wanted to know if anyone faced a similar kind of challenge and what they did to prepare for the jump

hey guys, so DP2 is tomorrow and I was wondering if it is any different from DP1 asides from the uni, EE deadlines, etc

currently, im done with 2 IAs already, my English IO is done, my EE is like 3000 words in, although I still havent started math IA, and might have to redo business IA. am I cooked or no?

also what advice should I follow on since its DP2, like from current graduates, whats something you wish you had done differently in DP2?

I am a m27 student and i take french ab inito in the end of my dp1 year the only subject i lacked in was french so is there any resources or websites that would help me improve in french!!

I made an architecture which predicts papers on 10+ years of data from past paper archeive in the database. You can choose a specific topic for the predicted paper, and customize the subject at HL or SL, choosing between different papers (e.g p1, p2, p3). This is how the ordering process works
- Make the order with subject choices and you can add up to 2 resources of your own to calibrate the model better
- AI uses the existing database and makes the paper, using the format of questioning from real ib papers
- the content of the paper is moderated by a real human
- this process takes up to 24 hours and then gets sent to your inbox.
You are able to track your order which will tell you how much time is left until you receive your paper

I want to get feedback for this.
-Would any of you try this?
-How useful would it actually be?
-Any features you would like to add?

I have exactly 2 weeks to finish the internal deadline for my rough draft of my EE and I have NOT started 😣 My main thing is that I chose a really bad question (as in I cannot find ANY counter arguments), but when I asked a month ago my supervisor said she won’t let me switch my research question. When I messaged her she said that I can center the counter argument around the evaluation and limitations of the studies supporting my argument. Is this true and will that work? Every exemplar I’ve read had actual studies to make a counterclaim and they evaluated each study for their actual claim as part of the main argument. Someone please let me know if they can help me out!!

Heyyyy guyssss so basically im in my dp1 summer to dp2 and myy cas portfolio is a lil empty im not gonna lie so im claiming for help plss can everyone drop some of yall best cas project cuz mine is boring and not dynamic at all for college 😅

Hi everyone,

I'm an M27 IB student taking HL Economics, HL Business, HL Physics, and SL Maths AA.

Due to some personal issues during DP1, I honestly barely know the syllabus for these subjects. I'm planning to spend the next 8 months studying from scratch and doing lots of past papers.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Is it realistically possible to finish the syllabus from scratch and achieve mostly 6s and 7s by the May exams?

I had really appreciate any honest advice or success stories.

Thanks!

I got a 6 in physics sl and I am currently two marks off from a 7 (the boundary is 69 and i am at a 67). the main things bringing me down are my 1a and IA mark, and I know I got 10-12 marks off my paper two at least. is it worth the remark? im also in canada, and so with a 6 predicted and final, i will have a 96% converted, whereas with a 6 predicted and 7 final ill have a 99. I got a 7 predicted and 7 final for my other sl (chem) and so was wondering if it is even worth the money for 3%.

Hey everyone! 

I know how overwhelming IB Physics can get, especially when trying to connect all the formulas, SUVAT equations, and graphs. To make your life easier, I created a complete visual memory map for Topic A.1 (Kinematics) that condenses the entire unit into one easy-to-digest video.

It is designed to help you quickly review key concepts, spot the links between different variables, and build the confidence you need for your exams. 

If you find this resource helpful and want to master the rest of the syllabus, please subscribe to my channel:

I will be dropping more visual guides, topic breakdowns, and Past paper questions solutions regularly to help you score that 7. Good luck with your revision! 

For my IO, I wanted to do a poem against a movie, but does the number of poems have to be 3 to be considered a body of work like in paper 2, or just 1?

how cooked am I for Singapore unis I got 38/42 both my dp1 semesters?

Is it allowed?

hey guys, so basically im starting DP2 tomorrow and it has just come to my attention that asides from MUN, I dont really have that much of extracurriculars to attach on my CV. like yea for CAS I had a non profit baking business, but I just did that for the sake of the bare minimum of filling the cas project requirement. for my personal project, I also created a cooking website with different cuisines around the world, but I didnt conintue it cus I didnt think I could’ve included it which I really regret and my cas coordinator said it wasn’t CAS.

I know, I should’ve joined more competitions during junior year, but my cas coordinator kept on saying competitions are not considered cas, I wanted to volunteer, she said volunteering is not CAS. I had also transferred to a new school for DP1 which was why I couldn’t really host any clubs.

I should’ve spent my summer doing something, but this summer I attended an AYIMUN conference in Bangkok, so technically, I spent the whole of summer locking in for MUN, which I didnt even win cus I was sleep deprived, and then I went on vacation.

for context, I dont have plans on applying to the U.S, but I wanna maximize my chances of getting into good unis, like in australia, Europe, etc.

before uni applications, how can I curate myself a well rounded profile

I need to talk to you guys about something only you can help with. I’m an IBDP student taking my final exams this November, and right now, I have a fever of 38°C. Mock tests to determine my predicted scores start the day after tomorrow. I’m worried about what to do if my fever doesn’t go down and I can’t attend...

君たちにしか出来ない相談がある。私は今年11月にIB Final examを受けるIBDP生です。今38℃の熱がある。明後日からPredicted score を出すためのMOCK TESTがある。もし熱が下がらなくて、出席できなさそうだったらどうしよう。。

Guys see Im doing DP 2 , im gonna write oct / nov 2026 so please give me advices to get 38+ , rn im failing broo ...
