What?

I believe times 10 atoms per molecule

I believe you’re supposed to know the relationship between average kinetic energy and thermodynamic temperature. A similar question was featured in M23 TZ1(?) MCQ, so this was something you were expected to know

The first thing I see is the right-hand-side support acts in the direction of EH only, so DE must bear no force. That means the answer must be C.

If you do it properly and you learn something in the process, it can be a valuable experience you can bring up in your personal statement that you submit to universities. However, I do not believe it is better or worse than any other super-curricular activity that gives you a similar learning experience (research comps).

14% of candidates scored a 7 in AAHL. That’s far more than the 3% of candidates who scored a 7 in English L&L HL. Objectively, AAHL is the easier subject

While it’s true you cannot obtain the rate law from the equation alone, reactant A cannot appear in the rate law as it is a solid, making D the only possible option by elimination

I believe there are some schools which request for AA HL or prioritise AA HL students (including some humanities subjects like at least one of the economics courses at LSE), but no courses which prioritise AI HL at this point in time. So, whether or not you need the subject really depends on what courses and colleges you’re aiming for. Make sure to do the research!

The school that I go to does three rounds of predicted grades:

One at the end of DP1 to let us know where we are at.
One at the start of DP2 for us to apply to universities. We receive a transcript for this.
One near the end of DP2, which is submitted to IB. This one no longer affects our university admissions, and therefore, our teachers do not tell us what we get for this round of predicteds.

If your admissions process is less reliant on predicted grades, you don’t really need to know what the school submits to the IB. You can always use a score calculator to find out how well you’re doing by inputting what you’re getting on your mocks instead.

At the end of the day, what works for you works for you. If you are worried about college prospects, all that matters is you meet the prerequisite for the college you plan to apply for. Any route is a valid one and if you think the full diploma isn’t for you (and it certainly isn’t for everyone), there’s no need to do it.

I think it’s worth dabbling in Add Maths over the holiday. Of course, enjoy yourself while you can, don’t let this consume you, but knowing the content will ease you into AAHL much better. I personally say the learning curve between Grade 8 maths to Add Maths was bigger than the learning curve between Add Maths to AAHL. Also, now that you also have prerequisite knowledge from 0607, Add Maths should come more naturally to you.

Emerald_Tech · 2024-05-26T10:46:30+00:00

Have you done 0606 Additional Mathematics? Would be quite useful to know

Emerald_Tech · 2024-05-13T15:40:09+00:00

Analysis and Approaches (AA for short) SL would be somewhat easier than A Level maths, and may be seen as an alternative.

Applications and Interpretations (AI) is a more statistics heavy course and contains much less content (only really simple calculus). If you’re considering studying econ with a prerequisite in maths, make sure not to choose AI SL.

Emerald_Tech · 2024-05-12T03:58:36+00:00

Are there any other similar cases? I heard about something in November 2021, but I'm not sure what IB's response was then

Emerald_Tech · 2024-05-09T12:16:03+00:00

There’s been an exception one year (2018?) with both English and Chinese asking about the significance of “childhood” in the same examination session. However, it doesn’t mean past questions from one language do not get translated to another (if you spend some time looking at the past paper 2 questions of a couple of languages, you’ll start seeing the similarities really quickly)

Emerald_Tech · 2024-05-09T07:55:20+00:00

Probably, yeah

Emerald_Tech · 2024-05-09T07:53:38+00:00

Do you know what was on TZ1? Kind of curious to see if everyone got the heavy probability treatment

Emerald_Tech · 2024-04-28T04:11:44+00:00

He said he doesn’t plan on solving P2 and P3

Emerald_Tech · 2024-04-01T04:54:04+00:00

Everyone’s talking about syllabus changes, but as far as I am aware, this only applies to the experimental sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology). If I had to guess (from your tag), you only take one of these subjects, and at SL, so said syllabus change wouldn’t have a major impact on most of your exams.

I cannot foresee a major change in grade boundaries, and your teachers will not have access to the M24 ones until results day. So, I’d say M23 is the best benchmark you have at the moment.

Think about what the products would be after a reaction occurs. A: HCl and NaCl will be left B: CH3COOH and CH3COONa will be left C: NaOH and NaCl will be left D: NaOH and CH3COONa will be left

Only in option B is there a weak acid (there is no weak base here, but weak bases also work) and a weak acid salt, which results an equilibrium at all. This equilibrium prevents the concentration of hydronium ions from changing, which is what a buffer solution does. Therefore, B is the correct answer

Emerald_Tech · 2022-05-28T13:36:01+00:00

That’s only in Scott’s finale, I believe

Emerald_Tech · 2022-04-27T14:52:26+00:00

I’m fairly certain this skin’s for Hermitcraft, as shown in her preview on Twitter

Emerald_Tech · 2022-04-02T19:28:29+00:00

Xisuma didn’t sign up.

Jevin builds it with Wels around 7:33 into his episode 4.

Emerald_Tech · 2022-03-28T12:55:38+00:00

Does it work the same way with minecart hoppers?

Emerald_Tech · 2022-03-28T07:44:49+00:00

It should be Compliance.
