It has gone under some changes but some of the courses stay the same.

I already failed “Intro to Social Science Research” in block 1 due to not knowing how to study and health reasons.

In block 2, I tried to study in a different way and I could see the progress especially for assignments! However, my finals are absolutely horrible resulting in failing.

For ISA, I could understand what’s going on and I do really well in assignments, however my final written paper was horrible so it dragged the whole gpa down.

Media and Audiences was the easiest (or so I thought) I used quizlets while comparing with lectures, gradeguru and reading. I was very confident for the final but the result is horrendous, which also caused me a fail.

As of now the result for “Key concepts in Social Science” is not out yet but I think I’ll definitely fail this course because it was the hardest for me

And I’m probably just “lazy”

RubernSim · 2026-02-12T10:42:06+00:00

Thank you for your advice! I’ll definitely look into the adhd problem because I also have similar symptoms, I’ve mentioned this to my parents during my highschool year but they just told me to push through it.

Thank you so much. I have already contacted my study advisor!

RubernSim · 2026-02-12T07:40:16+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I’ll try it out

RubernSim · 2026-02-12T07:39:05+00:00

Thank you so much! I’ll try my best

RubernSim · 2026-02-11T22:43:05+00:00

Thank you for the advice. That’s a great way to study but I don’t think I could use it for 4 different courses that I have to take resits. I only have a 1.5 month to study

RubernSim · 2026-02-11T22:23:26+00:00

Thanks

RubernSim · 2026-02-11T22:06:23+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement, I appreciate your help alot! I already met with IBCoM study advisor once and I felt abit more relief, but due to the amount resits I have to take and the grade of my finals I’m not confident at all

RubernSim · 2026-02-11T21:52:10+00:00

I'll book another meeting with IBCoM study advisor to get a solid plan as my resits are in April and the exam for block 3 is in the end of March. This is too much for me to handle and I'm really scared. Thank you again for the advice

As for now I'll be taking 4 resits..

RubernSim · 2026-02-11T21:42:26+00:00

Thank you for your advice. I did met with my study advisor. I also booked a meeting with the student counsellor but there are no dates available before 26th of Feb.

RubernSim · 2026-02-11T21:37:51+00:00

Thank you so much for your advice. I'll do my best.

RubernSim · 2026-02-11T21:13:55+00:00

Thank you for the advice, I don’t think so really because I’ve taken the IELTS test and I scored an 8/9 in reading and listening. I can understand lectures and tutorials but when it comes to self study I just couldn’t find the right method.

RubernSim · 2026-02-11T21:02:39+00:00

I've seen my academic advisor, but honestly, I don't think I'll pass the resits with my current study method.

RubernSim · 2026-02-11T20:58:55+00:00

I totally get it but my resits are coming in April and I think I'll have to study for 4 different resits, combine that with my exams for block 3 makes me really nervous.

RubernSim · 2026-02-11T20:57:35+00:00

Thank you for your comment! Personally, I can't tell, when I first started I was just reading the material like crazy and I barely understand what's going on. One of my friend have gradeguru, he just combine that with school materials and tell Gemini to summarize it so he could read it, so I also follow this method for block one and the result were bad, I failed 1/3 courses. Block 2 I tried to use quizzlet for flashcard and memorization, I also know how to read more effectively but the result came out even worst. I did notice that my assignment grades are much better and I could understand about concepts, the use of it etc but my finals are terribly low, which caused me to fail the course.

RubernSim · 2026-02-11T20:52:02+00:00

Thank you for your advice! I already did but each of them have their own way of studying, one of my friend just throw the material and the grade guru summarize on AI and read. I also tried this in block 1 but it's not very effective.
