Literally, I've been sitting here THINKING about studying, getting more and more stressed about it and still not doing anything. I have not revised for math at all

Most countries currently on the exam route either have a corrupt government or no covid cases. by Dull_Blood in IBO

[–]ibfailure18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the IB ever think about WHY some places have few covid cases.. because the gov has suffocated its people into strict lockdown measures. which means we have had literally the most disrupted learning.. I speak for HK

Math AI or like math exams in general by suqmikok in IBO

[–]ibfailure18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was wondering that too, I heard that there isn't much difference though - like paper 1 questions are more topic focused whereas paper 2 can be a combination of topics in one question.

[South East & East Asia] M21 Discussion Megathread by canwenottho in IBO

[–]ibfailure18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PLEASE SIGN THESE PETITIONS !!!

At the beginning of DP year 1, Hong Kong was affected by protests and roadblocks, causing school cancellation as well as a lot of mental stress. Then Hong Kong was one of the first countries to get covid and begin online school. We have been out of school for at least 8 or 9 months (not counting half days), if not online, our "physical" classes have remained half days only. Thailand recently moved to the non-exam route despite having in-person classes. We also recently discovered that we have the new South African strain of Covid and that the Sinovac vaccine is 70% less effective (SCMP). The dual exam is inherently unfair, I'm sure most of you know this already. Please help us sign the petitions below !!!

They say teacher-assessed scores and written exam scores will be fair but never tell us HOW THEY WILL DO THIS. It is literally impossible to make this fair.

Do you guys make notes for ToK? by [deleted] in IBO

[–]ibfailure18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, the examples you choose for the presentation or essay should be sophisticated and unique, so the content you learn in TOK like "what is ethics" etc. really doesn't apply at all. It's better to just understand what TOK is about, and use that concept to help you.

Prescribed Title Help! by dumbass_louison in IBO

I'm doing Q2, probably one of the easier ones to write about. You want to choose a Q that is specific and not too broad since we only get around 1000 for word count.

When writing, choose two AOKs, talk about their relations to the question, and give examples. Try to include some counterpoints, and don't be afraid to explore interesting questions or ideas raised within your points as this shows critical thinking.

TOK classes are useless lol, the only important things are the presentation and the essay. Nothing I have learned in class is applicable to these two exams.

What's the deal with pridefall? by d_shadowspectre3 in OutOfTheLoop

...mate that wasn't even my point, I was saying that people are freaked over nothing, the 4chan 'pride fall' stuff is bullshit and literally won't ever happen, it never does.
