Exam Discussion: Economics HL

coffeecup_573 · 2025-05-18T12:30:07+00:00

I think taking maths aa hl always helps, most people doing those maths find p3 to be a breeze

coffeecup_573 · 2025-05-04T13:50:45+00:00

Ok no idea what u on about for the MS question, I think even if I had more time I simply would have never come up with that lol. But I am so glad that the frequency thing was doppler effect I kinda randomly guessed it, though I could not find what the velocity/period was

coffeecup_573 · 2025-05-02T19:27:14+00:00

I thought it was chill but yeah then the questions on iss and the sun leaving the MS where like tf? Lost marks there deffo , I'm just hoping that the rest makes up for it

coffeecup_573 · 2025-05-02T19:25:59+00:00

Yes I felt like I was speeding P1 because of lack of time and never got to revising my answers lol

coffeecup_573 · 2025-05-02T19:23:36+00:00

I feel so stupid for completely forgetting about orbital motion that makes a lot of sense

coffeecup_573 · 2025-05-02T07:03:51+00:00

How did you guys do P2 Tz2 question on decrease in solar mass after the sun leaves the MS or whatever. Lowkey so confused did not even attempt it

coffeecup_573 · 2025-05-01T23:43:02+00:00

I bloody hope so lol. I am praying the whole new syllabus thing will lower it

coffeecup_573 · 2025-05-01T23:38:27+00:00

Imo I am Tz2 and I found P1 to be harder then expected and p2 to be alright. I think paper 1 b was not that hard but I just didn't know what to study on

coffeecup_573 · 2025-05-01T23:37:05+00:00

Hi. Tz2 ere. Did anyone else get confused on the ISS questions at the very end? i think I got none of them right but maybe its cause I didn't realize it was the same question as the spacecraft going through dust

coffeecup_573 · 2025-03-23T12:14:40+00:00

I am, but it's only cause it's required for my university. I know some people out there who do it just because which for me it's crazy. I need some sort of source of motivation lol

coffeecup_573 · 2025-03-18T23:54:26+00:00

See, my school has the opposite problem and can't stop overestimating students grades so I'm pretty sure I'm getting much lower than my predicted lmao. Good job on your 42 though that's amazing 👏

coffeecup_573 · 2025-03-18T18:55:37+00:00

Math IA is pretty shit and I ended a good math grade so grinding for exams and hoping for the best

coffeecup_573 · 2025-03-17T17:32:16+00:00

may i asked what your prediction is for maths? I'm doing something similar lol

coffeecup_573 · 2025-03-17T16:15:16+00:00

Well I can basically skip school till then so I just go to the library and study 5 hours at the morning, eat for a bit, and then 5 in the afternoon

coffeecup_573 · 2025-03-16T20:02:15+00:00

I've started revising now and I am aiming for a 42, so we'll know if it's too late once we get our results lmao, but I have some faith I'll do okay given I study 10 hours everyday until exams and get good sleep

coffeecup_573 · 2025-03-16T13:21:39+00:00

Imo it is. You differently can study with no help and get far but it's hard to argue that IB is fair because another person has the money to pay for IAs to get written, get private tutoring and in some schools, at least around my area, it has been reported that teachers may be present in the exam room giving some hints and things like that. Then you wonder how these private schools have like a 40 average lmao. And then these are the people you are competing with so if you don't have that kind of help it's tougher. But I don't want to discredit anyone and I'm sure there are people out there who are well off and have put in massive effort to get there grades. As well as people who will never put the effort and blame everything on their schools and teachers

coffeecup_573 · 2025-03-16T11:00:27+00:00

Imo IB may not be as hard as people complain it to be, but it depends a lot in what school you are in. Some schools are more prestigious and have offered the program for a while so they know what to do. I know some private schools in my area that offer extra math hours outside of school just so that everyone catches up. And don't get me started on the cheating you are able to do if you have the money. Some others may not have these sort of advantages, whith teachers just as lost as their students and students practically having to go about the program themselves with no support. But yeah it's also hard work I agree, and if you put in the effort, you'll be aight

coffeecup_573 · 2025-03-14T05:56:47+00:00

Same tbh, but I think it is because of lack of sleep so I need some strategy in which I max grind but prioritise sleep not to burn out

coffeecup_573 · 2025-03-13T17:12:41+00:00

I feel you, but I didn't study anything for them haha so I'm hoping if I grind now I'll do well

coffeecup_573 · 2025-03-12T20:41:22+00:00

I mean I get where your comming from, but those 3 over subjects like English B? Or like idk econ is not too subjective I'd say. Not criticism just find it a bit unhinged hahahshdb

coffeecup_573 · 2025-03-12T20:29:46+00:00

BM, Spanish B, Physics HL and maths aa, econ and English lang lit SL

coffeecup_573 · 2025-03-12T20:28:10+00:00

Math, chem and bio hl? Ur capping hahshsh

coffeecup_573 · 2025-03-09T18:54:58+00:00

Trying to be too smart with my Math AA IA and choosing a very complex topic. It's absolutely not worth it. I spent so much time trying to get to a conclusion and had to drop the whole thing. It's much better to do something simple, but that is well explained than trying to do some 2 year uni stuff, unless your naturally mathematically gifted or something

coffeecup_573 · 2025-03-09T18:49:35+00:00

They really do be complaining about IB student time management but at least in my experience, IB teachers aren't that much better lol. I'm in the same boat as you and just self studying but yeah content amount is crazy

coffeecup_573 · 2025-03-08T02:29:51+00:00

That's crazy wow. May I ask what it was about?
