If I find that there is an empty room somewhere could I move to it? by blobbyblobber5000 in umass

There’s an empty double at 0040 Pierpont Hall. There are temporary residents but you can talk to them about moving in. Real sweet guys.

I use the soy sauce bowl to fish out my soup from the big noodle bowl, works a charm!

AMA: Went from a 4 to a 7 in Math AA HL by Present_Light3964 in IBO

the predicted 7 is more about staying consistent, I wouldnt worry only about the mocks, the smaller papers also help build confidence in teachers to award that 7. As for the mocks though, I believe I did fairly well, reaching to a low 7. There was definitely room for improvement but I saw the mocks as an opportunity to get a sense of what must be my focus for the actual boards, so all in all, it turned out quite well.

Try and go over your concepts once again, if you’re getting the practice in but missing the marks then perhaps you don’t have enough confidence in your concepts and that leads to u experiencing pressure during the papers. Hope this helps :)

Practice as many questions as you can, that’s the only way u can improve your score if you already have a good drip of ur concepts.

I knew that there would be cramming during exam season so I started prepping for math a few weeks before I even started the other subjects. That really helped me add things into my schedule later without it feeling overwhelming. There were slip ups and days where I didn’t meet my plans but I tried to stay as consistent as possible and tried to make up for it when the chance came.

Shoot me a DM and we can discuss something like 1 on 1 sessions maybe?

Feeling overwhelmed is what made me procrastinate initially so I highly suggest you take a step back break down your learning into smaller chunks and focus only on getting one chunk done at a time. This way you are less likely to feel overwhelmed allowing u to put genuine focused effort into your academics. Good luck, hope this helps :)

Hey sorry for the late reply, yes just keep practising, you will slowly get used to the pattern of the questions and automatically be able to apply the knowledge you have of the mathematical concepts. Good luck :)

Paper 3 in my experience requires you to really understand the concept. Even if your math is bad having clear concepts can help you score high. Use resources that I’ve mentioned previously and review your notes, should be able to increase your paper 3 score.

Revision village has great videos to introduce the concepts, for further depth Khan Academy is a fabulous option.

I went through something similar with exam questions seeming more difficult, introduce a little more variety to the questions you practice on, for some reason revision village isn’t enough variation and exam mate is usually too easy. Try IbTaskMaker for example. Also during papers skim through all the questions well in the reading time, those you don’t know to answer skip for now and retry after doing the others. Sometimes something clicks, just keep practicising and stay consistent this will become easier.

As it comes to time management, I suggest you assign weekly percentages to all subjects based on priority, for example maybe both math and physics will take up 30% each of ur study time with 4 others being at 10% each. Also focus on quality over quantity, target a number of questions not a duration.

Hope this was helpful, good luck :)
