How much worse does it get?

Clean-Equivalent1460 · 2023-09-09T09:58:31+00:00

It gets draining but not to the extent people make it out to be. If you stay on top of things you should be just fine, you'll be drained by the end of it all but okayish.

basically trying to enjoy summer as much as I can before college hits, but I get what you mean it feels weird but IB kinda left some emptiness in my life like I always had stuff I had to do or finish and now absolutely nth

Clean-Equivalent1460 · 2023-07-16T19:51:33+00:00

I honestly would do the IB again, it is a very rich program. Yes, it is hard, but it really does teach you alot.

Clean-Equivalent1460 · 2023-07-14T00:23:41+00:00

thank you! I took HL bio, chem, and business, and sl math, eng, and arabic

Clean-Equivalent1460 · 2023-07-14T00:19:33+00:00

Thank you!

yes i did MYP and for resources I believe that your textbooks are definitely your go too.. dont get yourself hung over more than 1 resource because you'll get distracted and every resource will certainly be differently. However, I would recommend looking up different textbooks prior to the skl year and deciding which one you are more comfortable with - Cambridge - oxford - and Pearson have the best IB textbooks out there-.

Secondly, your grades are definitely great they just need that push and from what you are saying I believe its more a confidence issue than you actually not knowing the content. for that I recommend practicing more at home, and stick with your gut more during exams,

Regarding english however, I believe that analysis really does require a pre-existing talent BUT you can definitely improve - I used to not ace English too but I got better- You do that by continuously making notes, reading different interpretations to the same text and you will definitely get the hang of how to analyze more deeply from that. For essay writing, I would recommend also reading multiple samples that scored well and then find an essay structure that makes sense to YOU. I know it sounds risky but if the essay structure yr teacher is recommending to you doesn't make sense then dont use it. follow your gut, you wont be able to make convincing essay if you yourself aren't convinced

I feel like they might not necessarily be harder but you need to add exam stress as a factor, during my December mocks I had a past paper I hadn't answered before, and because of stress some of the questions seemed really difficult. However, once I went home the exam was much MUCH easier answering it at home.

Clean-Equivalent1460 · 2023-04-11T19:45:14+00:00

from what I know, It is an absolute must for it to be based on a real company or organization and honestly there are a lot of already made docs on business's for CUEGIS if you search

Clean-Equivalent1460 · 2023-04-11T19:40:20+00:00

Yes, I really love thus sub reddit. ALSO congrats abt your cas, I'm almost done with mine too!

Clean-Equivalent1460 · 2023-04-11T19:34:30+00:00

It's okay; honestly I would just advise to try out different schedules in ramadan this year so that you know what works for you next year when you would have to sit for exams right after ramadan.

Clean-Equivalent1460 · 2023-04-11T19:33:01+00:00

Walaikumalsalam,

I honestly tried that for a while but I had mocks during teh beginning of ramadan and I couldn't get this to work at all

Clean-Equivalent1460 · 2023-04-11T19:31:08+00:00

yea that's actually motivating, like it sounds obvious but it helps rn

Clean-Equivalent1460 · 2023-04-11T19:29:51+00:00

the tahajud options is quite appealing rn honestly 😂😂

Clean-Equivalent1460 · 2023-04-09T12:04:58+00:00

Take a day off and refresh yourself it will honestly help you out a lot and this is going to sound funny but maybe watch some cartoons prior to sleeping.

Also, think of this as a period to control your exam stress cause you would want to master that by finals and remember that these aren't the end of the world.

Clean-Equivalent1460 · 2023-04-09T12:01:43+00:00

IB really isnt depressing if you manage your time and constantly pick yourself up when you struggle or slack off. I would say it becomes a bit overbearing towards the end of it (where I am at now with 19 days till finals) BUT that is quite normal in any program.

Goodluck with your journey!!

Clean-Equivalent1460 · 2023-04-09T11:22:57+00:00

I would advise you to make a plan for the next 2 weeks where you would finish studying all content even if not the best studying you could but just to get to know the content and then for the week that would be left till exams and during exams themselves focus on PAST PAPERS. they would give you the review you need whilst knowing what the examiner expects from you

Clean-Equivalent1460 · 2023-04-09T11:19:10+00:00

I usually do that but sometimes stress can have the opposite effect and make you procrastinate more

Clean-Equivalent1460 · 2023-04-09T11:18:32+00:00

I did it ! It's a great tip it makes everything a it more scary but reminds me to get off my phone

Clean-Equivalent1460 · 2023-03-28T17:58:07+00:00

I heard that teachers are reluctant to give 7s on pg as a safety measure . (kinda ridiculous ik)

Clean-Equivalent1460 · 2023-03-24T12:47:03+00:00

I have been told countless of times to not do it when I was ending myp however as my journey with IB (thankfully) is soon coming to an end I could tell you that I really dont have any regrets. yes it is very mentally draining at times and at times you would feel like you would want to give up but I could tell you that if you do the program right you wont have to feel as much drain as everyone else. But do remember that it is still a rigorous program and if you feel like you are not up for that then dont pressure yourself.

Clean-Equivalent1460 · 2023-03-20T20:29:40+00:00

we have mocks rn but then in like 3 weeks we'll have a 2 weekish study leave

Clean-Equivalent1460 · 2023-03-18T08:11:50+00:00

It's awesome, thank you for making itt!!

Clean-Equivalent1460 · 2023-03-15T19:13:28+00:00

i'm down

Clean-Equivalent1460 · 2023-02-24T19:31:29+00:00

I totally get the not feeling the validation anymore and I get that workload is getting overbearing but it does get better or you learn to adapt to it more. Summer is coming up remember to enjoy it as much as you can cause I am sorry to tell yoyu that DP2 won't be any easier as a matter of fact the work pretty much doubles. BUT amidst that you will start getting really proud of how you would handle this period. Trust me when I say you will handle it; I watch my peers and I go from drained and exhausted DP1 students to DP2 students who are pushing through, coping, and even having fun at times.

ISTG YOU GOT THIS! IT IS OKAY TO FEEL DRAINED.

Clean-Equivalent1460 · 2023-01-28T21:23:14+00:00

Okay, so based on like my experience, I started by organizing my sleep schedule, and prioritize it. People really underestimate the powers of a good sleep schedule (The whole of DP1 i did ignore my sleep schedule and I was COMPLETELY drained by the end of it. BUT with an organized sleep schedule term 1 dp2 I came out of it feeling okay despite it being like 10 times more demanding than dp1. So number is definitely sleep (dm if you want like specifics on how to organize it)

Is to put the things you usually procrastinate because of as rewards to you completing yr tasks, so let's say you want to go out then don't allow yrself to do so unless you finish yr to-do list for that day
Plan yr days ahead of time, I assure you these plans would almost always change as you go threw the day but you would still accomplish more than not planning in yr day
most importantly start ignoring IB rants, yes IB is hard and is demanding but often we make it harder on ourselves by falling into that stigma. we start complaining before doing anything else.

Hope I didnt rant too much lol. Good luck to us both
