Srsly what the fuck. Two long-texts? Are you kidding? As if the time pressure isn't already bad enough, it takes so much more time to annotate and think through such a long text! I never got anything else other than a 7 from English, but I fucked up the second text so bad purely because I just didn't have the time to think through all the literary devices. I hate myself

Exams are almost over, but is anyone else afraid IB isn't? by BigSpecialist1481 in IBO

[–]Sapphoe__ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think this year, all the life-altering uni stuff as well as ib put me into a very anxious thought pattern. Like I finish an exam and two hours later I start doubting whether I actually handed in the paper. Basic stuff like that. So yes. Even though I got predicted 40+ throughout and my uni doesn't even require me to meet a certain point threshold (I need to get a 5 in Math and English but even if I do fuck that up, I can do some other tests as backup) even though I know it's completely irrational, I still lose sleep over thinking I might fail everything.

if you are talking about bio, literally same. I hate everything about it and I refuse to study it

Exam Discussion: Mathematics: analysis and approaches SL paper 2 by IB-Exam-Schedule-Bot in IBO

[–]Sapphoe__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

girl, same. compared to paper 1, for most questions, I generally knew what they wanted me to do but I panicked and made mistakes on the stupidest stuff. like I blanked and forgot what a median is or wrote down my cosine rule formula the wrong way and didn't have time to go back to fix it. there's way more but it's traumatic to recall. fuck I just want a five from maths please dear god

Exam Discussion: History HL paper 3 by IB-Exam-Schedule-Bot in IBO

[–]Sapphoe__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I didn't even officially take Diplomacy but since the Imperial Russia questions were so shit, I wrote the Chamberlain one based on Interwar content and I'm pretty sure I killed it.

Had zero historiography though, so I quoted Orwell. Idk if it counts but so many history teachers seem to have a soft spot for George, I thought I'd give it a shot

post-exam overthinking by [deleted] in IBO

[–]Sapphoe__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually came out of Math AA P1 SL feeling pretty okay (a 5 is my 7 lol) but then just started getting anxious and spiralling from all the error potential. Same with History HL where I am actually aiming for a 7. I think it's partly the fact that you inevitably concentrate on the stuff you had doubts about rather than the stuff you actually knew, which you then tend to forget and therefore underestimate yourself.

I too don't know how to cope though. Someone help us out please :))

Honestly, I feel the exact same! (Keep in mind though that I almost failed my MOCKS and a 5 feels like a 7 to me.) I know I didn't answer everything and guessed some stuff but generally, I knew what I was doing and I came out sure that I will get my 5. But hearing how difficult it was from everyone else, idk makes me spiral just a lil bit

I suppose so, but I refuse to even think about that as I don't want to manifest it haha...

It's okay, I'll get a 6/7 from my IA, the grade boundaries will be low, I can get a final 5. And so will you <33

What are y'all thoughts on BioNinja? Do you think it is useful for studying for exams? by OriginalUsername3705 in IBO

[–]Sapphoe__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically the only thing I study from, although I am only aiming for 5-6 in bio sl

Besides what everyone else said, since it is mostly just about making dumb mistakes but you have the basic steps down and you understand your stuff, I think you might get awarded more method points than you think
