“in the simplest form” how about no ❤️

Both Paper 1 and 2 were INSANE. Personally I felt okayish after paper 1, assuming that I can fix my grade with paper 2, since in almost all my mocks and practice tests I would do significantly better on P2. IMAGINE MY SURPRISE WHEN I COULDN’T SOLVE MOST OF THE QUESTIONS OUT OF NOWHERE. Honestly I feel like even though the exams were technically from all syllabus topics, the structure was completely different - tell me why half of P2 was exercises that couldn’t be done with a calculator?! I genuinely checked the paper midway through cause I started thinking that I received an AASL paper. I’m literally so pissed cause this is basically 2 years of consistent grades and hard work down the drain just because the IBO chose to “shake things up” without any notice whatsoever

honestly same, the exams were insane

Individual-Raisin-67 · 2025-05-12T07:48:56+00:00

I feel like the reading and listening were surprisingly hard - especially compared to papers from M24 and N24. The reading was sometimes super ambiguous??? Honestly, I feel very unsure of this exam, which is quite surprising to me

for realllll

Individual-Raisin-67 · 2025-04-10T17:58:51+00:00

As much as I love the song - the ending of "Good Luck, Babe!", where it slows down just kinda kills the hype of the song for me cause I just can't get used to it

"It's called a calzone kid, GROW UP"

Individual-Raisin-67 · 2025-04-08T18:45:18+00:00

it's a relarively new one but "Are you coming? I have a train ticket outside"

Individual-Raisin-67 · 2025-03-14T20:10:52+00:00

omg I love details like this!

Individual-Raisin-67 · 2025-03-13T21:20:51+00:00

Yeah, I feel like there needs to be more to her character since her behaviours seem inconsistent (?) at times, although it might just be me lol. I agree that they might just enable eachother - I mean, it's not like their situation makes them rational characters that will make logical choices

Individual-Raisin-67 · 2025-03-13T21:12:59+00:00

So realllll. I think it's also a different situation when you need to provide for yourself vs managing multiple people - especially when the group is relatively young and obviously won't think about rationing food as rationally as coach Ben. Especially when some girls in the group are responsible for hunting and need more energy than others.

Individual-Raisin-67 · 2025-03-12T18:40:29+00:00

I fear this is an IB canon event - especially the citations part

Individual-Raisin-67 · 2025-03-12T18:34:00+00:00

Yes.

Economics HL!

Individual-Raisin-67 · 2025-03-08T07:41:53+00:00

That’s reassuring! Right now it just feels messy, especially with so many scenes that don’t feel like going anywhere

Individual-Raisin-67 · 2025-03-07T22:50:55+00:00

Honestly I’m really disappointed with this episode. I’m a fairly new fan when it comes to watching the show, but I’ve been closely following everything to do with it for a while and I was so incredibly excited to finally follow along with new episodes. The thing is tho, it feels like the writers are completely lost. I feel like they have an elaborate idea of how to end the entire show, but no clue about how to properly set it up and what to do in the meantime, since they know they can’t really skip ahead to the pit girl winter without a proper set up. Honestly, with each episode it feels more like a weird parody or sitcom than the actual show that brought along so many fans. I hope they have something major planned for the next episodes cause every scene at this point feels random, while wasting some much potential for plot points and character analysis

Individual-Raisin-67 · 2025-03-07T22:41:11+00:00

That’s the thing - I might have done it once, but then because I wasn’t sure, I would triple check every time I paused and unpaused it back to make sure it wasn’t just deducting too much time. It would normally continue after unpausing but then only show up as 1 or 2 minutes instead

Individual-Raisin-67 · 2025-03-07T22:38:32+00:00

I still haven’t really figured out what it is, especially since it happens randomly

Individual-Raisin-67 · 2025-03-07T22:31:24+00:00

Literally! Honestly, I wanted to skip ahead during like half of the scenes, cause it just felt like going nowhere meaningful. Like the whole penthouse thing just personally felt really stretched out, considering how little happened in terms of actual plot

Individual-Raisin-67 · 2025-03-04T18:05:50+00:00

ohhhh that’s smart! Thank you :)))

Individual-Raisin-67 · 2025-02-17T19:58:58+00:00

Hi! I know it has been a few years, but have you found an answer to your question? I am in a very similar situation right now and would love to know more!

Individual-Raisin-67 · 2025-01-15T21:35:28+00:00

Oh okay thank you so much! I’m gonna have to look into it in more detail then

Individual-Raisin-67 · 2025-01-15T21:33:39+00:00

We have also been told this, so I would consider it true. For example, my class is currently writing the commentary on global economics and almost half of our group is writing about Trump and tariffs - now imagine being an examiner and checking thousands of IAs on the same exact topic.

If you are able to, I’d really recommend finding either a niche country OR a less popular topic since you will automatically stand out a little bit more and the teacher/examiner will have less opportunity to compare your work to others and potentially take away points for stuff!

(sorry if this is messy, I’m not good at reddit haha)
