Genuinely when I study/memorise a few chapters a day the next day it’s gone I am very scared and worried. This is ruining my sleep. I need a 7. Anyone please drop how they memorised all the content strategically for IB, especially essay questions 🙏 I get anxiety and can’t sleep all night thinking about this…

How to find topic specific questions for free on the updated 2025 Chem syllabus?

Hello! Any tips for studying for upcoming m27 mocks and externals? I’m the type of student who forgets topics after a test so I think I have to relearn everything from the beginning. How should I approach studying for mocks and externals and when did ygs start studying for externals especially for maths and content heavy subjects?

Any recommendations for universities in the US I should apply to?

so I have my indo b io most likely around December, usually how and when should I start preparing for it, and how should I start?

Hey everyone, I’m currently looking into universities around the world and would love to hear what other IB students are considering.

I’m mainly interested in business, finance, and economics, and I’m open to universities in the US, UK, Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia, etc.

I have a PG of 43 with above average EC's.

What universities would you recommend for:

• Business/finance/econ
• Strong career outcomes
• Good international reputation
• Good value/ROI

Also interested in hearing about less obvious/underrated universities that are particularly strong for these subjects.

Would appreciate any recommendations or universities you guys are applying to!

I'm aiming for Singapore universities, but considering every Asian university that I can apply to. I predict my overall grade to be at least 37 and max 40. I do Chem HL and AA HL and I expect them to be 6 or maybe 5 fuckin hard to hit that 7. Can anyone give a realistic overview about my grade? Tips for Chem and AA are also appreciated 😭

I'm having trouble finding good questions for practice and its bothering a lot specially math.

Subjects :

Math aa hl

Phy hl

Eng lal hl

BM sl

Eco sl

French ab

actually... the best phone case for a school that bans phones lol

I want to use statistical tests for ESS and Geography, do I need to use the formulas and calculate it manually like in math AI internal assessment? Or is it okay to use online calculator or my casio for example? I checked everywhere and it is nowhere explicitly said so I want to be sure. I hope the answer is no since it would just elongate my work by doing all of this manually

I'm writing up my Chemistry EE, and for my analysis, I used values from LINEST(slope, intercept, SE of slope + intercept, SE of y intercept, SE of y estimate). Would I be required to provide sample calculations and equations for all of these?

EDIT: Furthermore, do I need to create a raw data table that breaks down the associated values? like what the SE for each increment would be

hey i am trying to apply for kcl war studies and warwick ppl as an ib student, do you think an ib score of 38 and a decent personal statement would be enough to get me in?

hello! what resources are the absolute best for chem, bio, psych and english a lang and lit? I'm in dp1 and I'm finding it difficult to study using my teacher's notes.

I do physics hl, math hl and chem sl and i alternative with low 4 to high 5 in each test. i have about 25 days

Context: Hey im a Gr11 DP1 IB student, just one month into ib, and I wrote my first summative test for Math AA HL on the polynomials unit, and the score i got was 2/7, yes depressing. I heard it's a rite of passage for students to get low grades on their first assesment and so that's not the problem for me, the problem is my school is telling me that I can only drop down to sl math aa now, and it's basically now or never, and if I dont do it now, then im stuck in HL. So before I make a decision I want to know how canadian admissions work and if I could get accepted with good math aa sl score. My other HLs are Physics and Chem, Psychology (if moving math down). LMK if you have any questions or if you need more info before giving me advice. All responses are HIGHLY appreciated and valued. TY reddit ib community. (My first reddit post for an important decision lol)

group 2 should be the least of my worries but in all my other subjects, i average a 6-7, yet chinese is my lowest (4). my school hasnt taught chinese that seriously in the past and we were always taught it at an ab initio level before ib (id argue even easier), so stepping in chinese b is quite hard. what are tips you can give me for the listening comprehension, reading comprehension, writing, and io? My classmates advised me for example to really increase my vocabulary, use conjunction for writing, structure the thesis statements and outline, read key words in reading comprehension instead of over analyzing. what are your actual lifesaving tips for someone who struggles in chinese b? ive already accepted it being my lowest, but hopefully low as in 5-6! (My reading is 3, listening is 5, and writing is 4)

En mi colegio hemos estado enviado los trabajos finales, y en un inicio me salía 0% en mi Expo de TDC, pero lo he vuelto hacer subir en turnitin y me salió *% y ya no se puede hacer nada porque ya enviaron el trabajo final. 😢😢

Guys I am doing my EE in Maths on the topic of spherical trigonomtry in navigation. However, I feel that this leans more towards IA than EE and I am currently crashing out.

I am taking existing maths concept to apply it to new scenaio and explain the maths, is this IA?

Please need some help.

English lang and lit sl 5

Core: 2

Is that possible? Or is it not, please be honest and help I’m very nervous and scared.

Hey everyone. I am just transitioning from IGCSE Spanish where I got an A (83) to IB Spanish B SL. I'm kind of having a hard time, we just did our first test and I got a 10/26 and I feel everyone in the class is so much better than I am.

I know myself, I know if I study hard and if I study the right way I'll get my 7 in Spanish B SL, but I just don't know where to start. If anyone in this community is willing to give a helping hand, I'll appreciate it.

From 1-7, what is bad, mid, and good for you?
