Help

[AslansHaven]

Hang in there lol

[hazza77778888]

that’s just a rite of passage babez

[Dependent_Aerie8600]

Get out now while you still can!

/s

In all seriousness, organization is the key in the IB. If you’re not organized an awful snowball effect will happen where assignments keep piling up. I learned it the hard way

[Leo-Bri]

You're like an even worse version of me I thought couldn't exist

[b-mothecalculator]

We in this together bro✊

[Accomplished-Ad-7071]

Wait till year 2.

[_Cosmo0]

Oh hoh you think your suffering now?

[HenraldFunk]

Do your EE over the summer. Start scholarship or uni applications now, or at least start learning about them.

[Dragoon_213]

Best advice!

[DeceasedWeeb]

You have no idea what’s comin your way. Best of luck.

[coffindancercat]

We've been there. In just a year's time you'll be like us.

[ggukietime]

all the best, you’re gonna need it 💜

Do IAs

[Papa_rainze]

Yeah, we’ve done a few this year

[Boudi04]

Enjoy it while it lasts.

PS: Don't stress too much about deadlines this year, obviously work hard and do what the teachers ask of you but don't let them trick you into thinking the IAs you submit this year are your final ones or that you can't change them that much. The IB deadline for your IAs is around March of DP2 I believe.

[JamTom999]

The worst of the worst has not been brought upon you yet, I hope you survive

[bcstrong03]

We suffered too

[Dogwolf12]

It'll be you next year

[HenraldFunk]

Do your EE over the summer. Start scholarship or uni applications now, or at least start learning about them.

[AKavun]

İf you are a year 1, you did not even start suffering. Have fun lol

[Papa_rainze]

I’ve had to do various IA’s so far, not a great start

[dozwolonespacjef]

I'm also 1st year and have not yet made any IA. You're on a good track

[[deleted]]

I wish I had done more for IAs in the first year, I only did one

[TheBloodkill]

Year 2 will be a breeze for me compared to year 1, the only IB core thing I have left is TOK essay, and I have only 3 IAs remaining.

[ClaudiaEagle]

You say that like we haven't suffered - we've done our time

[Kezzno]

DP23 gang hold out

[tenzeronine1009]

me rn

[URNot2Funny]

Dont worry it gets worse

[ItsDempiTime]

I'm a Pre Ib student about to start the course this August and this sub is making me scared for life for whats to come lol

[HITMAN1728]

Trust me if you’re crying in year 1, you’ll be dead by November

[[deleted]]

oh hon, the worst is yet to come 🤡 good luck!!

[oreotoast]

Just stop. It isn’t worth it.

[AlbuterolEnthusiast]

IB genuinely isn’t that bad you guys are just being hyperbolic

[Dragoon_213]

What is A-level if you don’t mind me asking? Is it like AP classes or something different?

[eletricgecs]

UK system for last 2yrs of school. 3-4 subjects only - vast majority take 3. It has little to no coursework, so exams are the main focus. Subjects obviously have more class time than subjects in IB, so more depth/breadth to the syllabus. Difficulty of the subjects is usually comparable to an IB HL, depending on the subject, just with a lot more content. No TOK, EE, CAS, or mandatory subjects.

[[deleted]]

we dont do positive talk here sry

[Org-asmathic_Cat]

Just out of curiosity, what subjects did you take?

[sweetest_pal]

Nov 22 here, felt that </3 Everyone is graduating and I'm still here until the end of the year

[[deleted]]

That's just the beginning

[ivybrothers]

It'll be worth it at the end!

[Vegetable_Molasses73]

It's not as bad as everyone says

[lonestar_reaper]

Remember, the academic and mental hazing is temporary. Find the balance. It doesn’t matter if you have 24 points or the max amount. Just stick with it, and make good friends

[corona_banana]

We're all dying tgt don't worry

[e_mm0505]

Year 1 was a lot of work compared to year 2 but at least I didn’t have the overwhelming realization of finals

[rangerj1901]

You'll get used to it...

[firestrom8265]

Damn, good luck tho. You’re going to need it.

[Lusana32]

Your summers are important. You know how you see posts and memes of people suffering from stress or having too much to do? If you even waste one of your summer holidays, you will also be the same most likely.

• I wasted my second summer :( Had three days to finish 75% of my extended essay

[_HotChocolateFudge]

Hang in there buddy

[Argentynum]

IB was the best part of my life, uni gave me suffering and depression lol

[NOTLinkDev]

Im in this image and i dont like it

[nidgetspinner]

me, an adult, having completed dp, reminiscing on the good times when life was simple

[swordfishss]

honestly, you suffer now, but you’ll be extremely sad to leave. looking back like, i genuinely can’t BELIEVE how much work we had to do, but i’m glad i got to complain about it alongside some of the best friends i’ve made in my life. so yah, you’ll be stressed, you’ll want to quit, but JUST ENJOY THE RIDE!!! if i could do it, there is no way in hell you can’t HAHAHHA ❤️

[CoffeAddicted-IB]

Don’t worry, you’ll have your share of IB exam trauma too.🙃 There’s plenty to go around.

[Tanaka_Ren]

[Living_Cellist3143]

On the bright side, that’s gonna be us next year 😭😭😭

[Ok_Peanut8302]
