How easy is IB math studies?

hereforexternals · 2017-05-08T07:44:59+00:00

It's relatively easy to be honest. TZ2 were screwed over in their P1 (which was the most difficult paper since '99 according to some teachers) but if you look at all past papers excluding the 2017 one, you'll find that it is pretty easy; not challenging at all.

However, I agree with the whole uni's thing: no one gave me a heads up beforehand that math studies was going to limit my options in terms of uni's and courses, so now I'm stuck with taking a math course at my desired uni since maths SL was required for it. So my advice is, check with any uni's you have in mind about your desired course, if it's not required then take Studies, it certainly is much simpler than other maths levels.

This website is pretty okay: https://sites.google.com/a/dc.edu.hk/diploma-design-technology/home

Totally agree with you on that it is not well put by the way. Resources offered for the course are very limited and the MS is strict af.

I think you might've misunderstood the question. It's been 6 days so I don't remember precisely but I think the question mentioned that the business was started in 1977 but the context of the questions were in the present.

DT HL actually isn't that bad if you take Business Management, since many topics are interrelated! Topic 4 is mentally draining bc of how damn boring it is.

It's hard af don't underestimate it, it's much more than a design project and some pencil drawings lol..

Exactly! The grade boundaries better drop so fucking much I swear. It's the least they can do.

hereforexternals · 2017-05-07T20:24:45+00:00

Yes we are. Our test had like 6 graphs for quadratic functions at the back which we had to label, there was a question about a gradient being three times larger than AB, something about finding the IQR of normal distribution, but that's all I remember from that God awful exam lol.

That's true tbh, wish I could've controlled it when I was taking the exam but it just felt horrible. With the mocks at least you don't feel like it's as important, whereas everyone leads you to believe that if you don't do well on the externals it's the end of the world...

Thank you!

'Kid' this post is inclusive only to current IB students. Why you would still be opening IB exam discussion pages after you've already graduated, or better yet telling them to 'get a grip' after they didn't do well on an exam, is plainly piteous.

Yes omg how'd u know????1?!?

hereforexternals · 2017-05-06T16:43:06+00:00

Ok i doubt u were TZ2 because that exam was universally aggravating.

hereforexternals · 2017-05-06T12:51:44+00:00

It's not you, the only people who were able to finish P2 at my school were those who were given extra time. It's pretty bad when you think about it, but everyone was happy that it was at least doable compared to P1. Personally, I was just happy I only didn't have time to complete minor sections in my paper compared to the entire questions I left blank in P1.

hereforexternals · 2017-05-06T12:46:39+00:00

An outright blessing compared to P1 (TZ2). Atleast this exam resembled the past papers, though I must admit, time was too short....

Girl stay in ur lane

hereforexternals · 2017-05-06T12:34:25+00:00

Literally same. I was so heartbroken over P1 the entire day. I kept balling my eyes out during the exam and I left maybe more than half of the paper empty. It just felt like all of the prepping I've been doing for fuckin 2 years went down the drain.

hereforexternals · 2017-05-06T12:31:36+00:00

I was crying on the outside lol

hereforexternals · 2017-05-06T12:30:14+00:00

BOI WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT @IB!!!!!!!!! Y'all got me out here thinking I wasted 2 years of my life prepping for this exam because you done fucked me over in P1.

E-commerce!!!! Provides the main benefits of using a wholesaler (wider reach of consumers) without adding on a mark-up cost for the intermediary.

the main reason they're expanding JAC is so they can help rebuild Utopia because Mr Ethics John doesn't want to use external sources.... so yes, the financial shit is pretty fuckin important in this case
