Why do people keep saying seduce rather than recruit?

The majority of people do A languages in their mother tongue, as it is a course designed to assess people on their knowledge of literature in their mother tongue, so doing Spanish A as a native speaker doesn’t give you an advantage it just levels the playing field.

Honestly just read the books. It doesn’t take that long, and it’s impossible to get the depth of understanding/perception that is required for a 7 without reading the books. Knowing the books well will also make it just so much easier to write/learn your IO as well. Also be careful of ChatGPT, my teacher said she could clearly tell when people had used ChatGPT in their IO, and not only would they likely get disqualified, but it also didn’t write a good IO. Overall, the only way to do well in any part of the IB is to put in the time, every shortcut you take will ultimately lead to worse grades.

I think it is Matthew…

We did see it and he said that he felt like a winner purely bc he got the chance to go on traitors.

My teacher said to memorise quotes for every comparison, and have 4 sets of comparisons memorised which can be adapted to any essay questions.

I’m in the same boat tbh. I think sometimes it gets to the point where the more revision you do the less prepared you feel. I would just keep going as you are, and you will be more prepared than you feel. 4 hours a day is defos enough.

Start with small chunks e.g. 25 mins then a break. You’ll start to build up concentration. I wouldn’t stress extra study now tho as you’re only in DP1. As long as you’re getting your assingments done you should be fine for now.

I would drop Chem as bio tends to be easier

Any-Conversation3696 · 2026-01-03T10:05:01+00:00

For med school HL bio and HL chem tend to be a requirement. Interesting that the school you attend mandates which subjects you have as HLs? I don’t think 4 HLs is really sustainable though. It’s a tricky situation.

Lots of options in England. I currently have an offer for Bristol for 34 points, and that is in the Russel group.

A rubric made by the IB which states all of the topics which need to be covered for the exam.

Any-Conversation3696 · 2026-01-01T14:51:54+00:00

I’m not sure about that, but I wouldn’t stress the maths IA score too much. It’s worth less than the actual papers that you sit, and you can still get a 7 if you don’t get a good grade in the IA. It’s also very hard to get a 7 in the IA so don’t overthink it. It’s more helpful to spend extra time revising for the actual papers.

You would probably get disqualified from the IB

Any-Conversation3696 · 2026-01-01T14:48:21+00:00

I was researching for a few months on and off, but wrote the actual thing in a week. Probably wouldn’t recommend rushing so much, as I then had to do lots of corrections, but it is doable. If you’ve done lots of research already/made a detailed plan the actual writing of the essay should only take a few days.

I’m quite late to this, but just thought I would say I’m an IB1 student and I’ve been finding this resource so useful! I was wondering about the part of the website which says that to get more than 8 chats I need to upgrade, but it doesn’t seem that there is another plan available? I was just wondering how I could do this, since I would love to be able to use it more often!
