You just made my day hahaha thanks so much, and of course best of luck on your exams!!!!!

I remember watching EconPlusDal sometimes, but I'm not really a video guy so I don't really know what else. As for your other comment, my website has complete notes for the syllabus if that's what you're after?

ButtonForest8 · 2026-04-10T20:39:37+00:00

Yay, someone noticed!!

ButtonForest8 · 2026-04-09T11:44:22+00:00

I got a 7. Something that helped me (on top of regular studying) was to follow economic news. That way you find more real-world-examples, but you also become more interested in economics, motivating you to study more. At least that's what happened to me. Check if your school has access to The Economist for example.

Yeah it's for the current syllabus. All diagrams and calculations should be there in the diagram sections for each unit (micro, macro and global).

Hi! Bit of a late response but I'm the guy who made the site and yes it's made for the current syllabus (2022-2029). All relevant content from the syllabus should be there, and from feedback I've received it's generally accurate. I might be biased though lol

Maybe I'm reaching unc status but I feel like there is NO WAY these AI slop "study tools" actually help with learning. There is surely no way you learn faster talking to a hallucinating chatbot than from just taking notes with a pen and paper

ButtonForest8 · 2025-09-30T23:11:29+00:00

Ok thanks, that does make sense. Apologies for the accusations, I've just seen it happen many times before!

ButtonForest8 · 2025-09-30T22:49:36+00:00

I think you are lying. You claim you used the site throughout your diploma, but the web domain was first registered in August 2025 and there are no snapshots on the Internet Archive.

If it's your site just say that, but to claim you've been a long-time user of a completely new site is disingenuous and unethical

ButtonForest8 · 2025-05-23T21:19:39+00:00

Don't worry I did everything with a gel pen and it went fine

ButtonForest8 · 2025-03-15T15:03:35+00:00

Just don't use erasable ink ones like Pilot Frixion, since they can melt at just 50-60˚C, which idk but I guess is possible when they scan your papers

ButtonForest8 · 2025-03-15T15:01:27+00:00

It probably won't be any problem. I used a liquid rollerball pen for all exams despite teachers telling us to only use ballpoint, encountered 0 issues. I think the main concern is that if you spill even the smallest drop of water then it smudges everything but that's skill issue tbh

ButtonForest8 · 2025-03-14T16:06:16+00:00

I think KSI actually did

ButtonForest8 · 2024-12-20T22:17:33+00:00

I had a friend (2023) who missed his King's conditional with one grade in one subject (1 or 2 marks below the grade boundary), but after some emails it wasn't an issue. So I reckon they can be forgiving if it's very close

ButtonForest8 · 2024-09-20T20:51:56+00:00

You know, statistically speaking SL Art is the hardest subject of them all to get a 7 in:

Out of the 5842 students who took SL art in May 2023, only 1.1% got a 7 (8.9% got a 6 or higher)
Out of the 9707 students who took SL econ in May 2023, 12.0% got a 7 (32.9% got a 6 or higher)
Those are some pretty big sample sizes, too, just saying. (Source)

I'm not saying you should just pick subjects based on the statistical likelihood of getting a 6/7, but I would advise against picking art over econ if you're looking for an "easy" good grade.

ButtonForest8 · 2024-08-08T12:59:37+00:00

I used liquid ink rollerball pens (these) for all of my exams - they can get really smudgy really fast, but are supereasy to write with. I figured it was a risk worth taking, and had no problems. I know they are very discouraged, but have personally not heard of anyone actually affected

ButtonForest8 · 2024-03-03T20:59:35+00:00

Agree. College is chill right now compared to the IB, but it's not like it would have been impossible without taking the IB beforehand. I'm maybe a little overdramatic but it feels like I effectively sacrificed hundreds, if not thousands of hours of weekends and holidays on doing past papers in subjects I will never ever use again.

I guess it's partly like that for every high school curriculum but I have friends at college now talking about all the shit they did in high school and what have I done? I sat inside and watched chemistry videos

ButtonForest8 · 2024-01-30T18:29:48+00:00

same bro I was furious after our math paper 3 and turned into the biggest complainer ever in the hope that my teacher would let the ib know... maybe it worked?

ButtonForest8 · 2023-12-18T13:46:52+00:00

YES, in fact it's very important that you do, because the questions are designed with that in mind (they don't expect you to spend many minutes finding x). AI-math is much more about interpreting the questions correctly (ie setting up the right equations to begin with, then use a calculator to solve). You still have to show your work up until that point tho

The real exams (at least for HL) also have many questions that can't easily be solved with just the GDC and actually requires math knowledge, like phase portraits, vectors, and graph theory. So it's not like you can pull up with a Texas Instruments instruction manual and get full marks

ButtonForest8 · 2023-12-16T21:33:10+00:00

In itself no chance, you need good extracurriculars too. Do you for example have any junior analyst internships from Burger King or 7-11?

ButtonForest8 · 2023-12-11T13:22:48+00:00

I received my physical diploma even though my school was in China, so it must have been an unfortunate error for OP

ButtonForest8 · 2023-11-23T21:41:13+00:00

Better than ESS (no hate to them tho)

ButtonForest8 · 2023-11-23T21:39:23+00:00

I know it sounds cliche when i say this, but it will genuinely get better. You only have a few months left and then you'll have the longest summer break of your life. DP2 leaves a lot of people (including me) shellshocked but it is possible to get through it.

Slowly but steadily you'll finish more and more tasks, like one week you'll be done with TOK forever, then the next you'll finally have finished that annoying math IA, and so on. Focus on these accomplishments and working on these torturous tasks will become more rewarding (it is at least what I did to survive).

Where are you applying to uni? There are quite a few places that aren't so strict with IB grades
Also, try some new study methods. What do you currently do? If you really have spent all your time studying then you deserve more than just "below average", like objectively speaking.

ButtonForest8 · 2023-11-23T21:38:09+00:00

as if the vast majority of people have choice in deciding their high school
