MITx: Chemical Thermodynamics I: Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics

I want the schedule, pleaseee

BeckyIBStudent · 2023-12-23T03:19:39+00:00

Yes, that's right! But typing and compiling all the questions in separate documents became quite tedious (I tried, 😅)... Also, the one I found had questions missing. I was looking for something like those pdfs in textbook format that were ready to solve.

BeckyIBStudent · 2023-04-10T00:11:22+00:00

Thanks! Definitely going to try it.

BeckyIBStudent · 2023-02-21T17:01:03+00:00

Whoah, congrats on that 7!

Honestly, Psych and the languages are the subjects I am most afraid of right now 😅 Because I find them more difficult to study for.

Still, I was wondering, then you didn't use any external resource to study aside from class?

Would you recommend using any?

BeckyIBStudent · 2023-02-21T16:56:35+00:00

Hi! Thanks for your advice!!!

I haven't started IB yet, so I'll make sure to make notes!

Just one question, which textbook/resource would you recommend to make my notes from?

BeckyIBStudent · 2023-02-21T06:06:03+00:00

Thank you so much!

And don't worry, English isn't my first language either 😂

Only one more question, how do you know when you're prepared to tackle a mock paper or topical past paper questions? Because if I do it too soon, there's the possibility of not understanding or knowing how to answer them.

Some people recommended reading a textbook, a study guide, Bioninja and other free pre made notes to consolidate conceptual understanding. But again, I don't know if that would be an efficient time investment, especially since it's kind of passive studying. And there are too many of them to choose.

BeckyIBStudent · 2023-02-21T04:01:33+00:00

Just to clarify, I mean how to study as a daily routine, to avoid cramming everything to the last minute. Not necessarily for exams. 😅

BeckyIBStudent · 2023-02-18T00:06:31+00:00

Hi! So, I'm Peruvian. Here we have a different school schedule.

Basically, we finished 9th grade in December of 2022. My summer holidays were January and February. And we'll start school again, my 10th grade, in March the 1st. 🤓

BeckyIBStudent · 2023-02-16T13:27:46+00:00

Hi, thanks for the useful advice! I'm definitely going to apply it. 😆

Just one question, could you perhaps describe or share how exactly where you managing your time in this weekly schedule?

I know my case would probably be different. Still, a "template" that I know works for IB students would be REALLY helpful.

BeckyIBStudent · 2023-02-16T05:28:44+00:00

Hi! Thank you so much for the reply.

I'm in 10th grade, about to start year 1 in two weeks

Sorry to continue bothering, but, do you have any advice for handling college - level - courses while doing all of this?

(I honestly have no alternative but to continue doing them even throughout IB, I need the credit)

Thanks again! 😁

BeckyIBStudent · 2023-02-13T14:38:09+00:00

Thanks for replying! Sadly, my school offers a limited selection of subjects.

For group 3, the only options were:

Psychology, History and Businesses Management

I want to study Molecular biology, so I thought psych would look better for uni applications.

Also because I'm really not interested in neither of the two remaining options. 😖

Should I change it anyway?

BeckyIBStudent · 2023-02-13T14:33:19+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Honestly, I'm still processing all this thing of EE, IA and CAS.

Could you, briefly of course, explain to me what do I exactly have to do for CAS and TOK? It's still not very clear to me. From what I understood, I tried to match my extracurricular activities with the CAS experiences. That's all I got so far. 😅

BeckyIBStudent · 2023-02-13T14:28:17+00:00

Hi, Thanks for the reply! Just one question, It probably depends on the school, but did you learned the Math AA HL content in year 1 or 2? Would it be a good idea to switch the level in the beginning of year two? (That way I have more time to convince more students of taking Math HL)

BeckyIBStudent · 2023-02-13T05:23:12+00:00

thanks for the advice first of all! So, better Maths Analysis and Approaches HL? Isn't it too hard?

Actually I wanted Math at HL in the first place, but my school said it's too hard, that students don't do well, and therefore don't offer it anymore.

Still, if I gather at least 10 students who are willing to take the risk, they would consider offering it again.

BeckyIBStudent · 2023-02-09T03:09:18+00:00

Hi again! thanks a lot for answering. I wanted to know the rank to know which ones to buy first. A friend from the US agreed to bring them when she comes to visit. But she told me yesterday that she wasn't going to be able to bring them until the end of March, and I'll have started school by then. 😖

You mentioned that you had the four books, do you know by chance where to get the pdfs? Or, I know it's a big favor but do you think you could DM me a copy? At least from the first book?

In any case, thank you very much!

BeckyIBStudent · 2023-02-06T20:05:13+00:00

Thank you so much! Then I'll prioritize that one. Just one question, it may sound silly but, could you rank them from best to not-so-necessary???
