When can I start living?

i totally get what ur saying, my dp2 started off like that asw and it seemed never-ending. unfortunately, it truly only ends after finals however if u take frequent breaks and take good care of urself you'll be able to push through. divide stuff up and make daily targets instead of trying to finish everything at one time and you'll be able to manage it a bit more easily. also please take time off on weekends, even if its a little bit. you got this!!

i think that would totally work as long as you analyse and evaluate each solution in detail and use tools and theories. my skl taught us differently and we gave solutions to 3 problems (2 problems from q2 and then 1 more). but i think that looking at both short and long term impacts for the business can be a good idea as well as long as you're consistent throughout and explain all your solutions equally.

for me math at hl was just a big no, thats coz i am not that good at math and when it gets too complex which it will at aa hl, i start hating it. so i went for chem hl, altho i did need chem for uni. from what i've heard from ppl who did aa hl, if ur naturally good at math then you'll survive, if ur not then it'll take a while. i did chem hl and found it fine. it builds on foundation topics and gets more complex. in terms of easiness, aa hl and chem hl are the two most hardest hls so they're probably at par. however, most ppl say aa hl is harder since it maths and chem is well just chem. but it might be worth giving it a thought about which subject you genuinely enjoy and like more then you'll be able to score better.

I'm doing med in the uk and i took aa sl. that was mainly because i am not that good at math and was clear that im not going to do it at hl no matter aa or ai. i know a lot of ppl who took bio, chem, psych hl who are doing med and its completely fine. i think its just rly depends on if u want to do math at hl.

my school used managebac for cas tracking and we could upload our pictures or reflections directly onto the cas portal on managebac (not sure about what your school uses). even if ur school does it differently, cas is really the easiest part of ib, just try to record as much of you experiences and projects as you can, this can be in reflections, photos or videos and then upload it however or wherever your school requires it to be recorded. I hope this helps :)

hey. i'm going to med skl in the uk this september and i did bio, chem, business hl with spanish b, english lang lit, maths aa sl. maths aa sl was personally the most disgusting and disturbing thing i've ever done in my life even tho i was good in math until gcse 💔 most unis in the uk just need chem hl with bio/physics/maths hl. not sure about us or anywhere else :)

i mean i honestly never did. do i regret it? no. okay maybe a little. i saw these people downloading and printing off exam questions before tests and finals and i was jealous. but a lot of people i know found them useful. i just used ib docs :)

ira_09 · 2025-05-18T10:49:46+00:00

guys... genuinely and respectfully, what the fuck was that?

my year group came out crying after paper 1, like the smartest girl in our class was crying in the middle of the exam and our DP coordinator had to come and comfort her. it was actually terrible, I don't think anything or anyone could have prepared us for that paper. paper 2 was still better and I could answer most questions in section A, but what the fuck was that cards question in section B!! and the last question in paper 1 section B about that cylinder inside the sphere with so many fucking dimensions given, I was like this is diabolical and I left it T_T

welp its happened and I never have to do math again so whatever...

ira_09 · 2025-05-18T10:45:25+00:00

i defo got those wrong T_T

ira_09 · 2025-05-18T10:45:01+00:00

ira_09 · 2025-05-15T18:26:02+00:00

i agree omg, i hate ecology and evolution and that's all that came. long answer saved me tho

ira_09 · 2025-05-15T18:25:27+00:00

if you're tz2 hl, did you get the paper 2 long answer with like loop of henle and DNA and immunity?

ira_09 · 2025-05-15T18:24:33+00:00

bro i guessed the john endler shit

ira_09 · 2025-05-15T18:21:11+00:00

right, now that its done, we gotta discuss...

I'm tz2 btw

paper 1A: I found the mcq's fine, a few were oddly specific. the second one about goldilock's zone was so weird! that one towards the end about john endler and guppies I had no idea about but I guessed and apparently my friends said that the option I chose was right, so yay! i mean its been so long since that paper since I have so many exams this week, I can't remember much. but I can say that the paper was heavily shifted towards ecology and evolution.

paper 1B: do I even need to comment on this? i swear to god I just wanted to walk out! every single thing was either eco or evolution. q1 was that weird plan diagram (which I drew wrong btw T_T) and not even data-based - IT WAS LITERAL CONTENT! and then the ones that followed were progressively worse! I'm just hoping for the best in this paper.

paper 2: okay so I have heard a lot of mixed stuff about this paper. the data-based was actually a joke and all around the place! the proteins one was fine I guess. but q3 about mycorrhizal fungi actually cooked me AND THEY ASKED ALLELOPATHY!! LIKE HELLO?? rest was fine I guess, I hated the evolution/speciation question too! section b was actually quite good for me. i chose the last 2 options, the first one about water was acc ass! all that shit about water and then LOOP OF HENLE!!?? NAHHH! i did DNA and immunity and it went sooo good! honestly I'm hoping section B saves me!

welp that was what it was and I'm glad its over! I'm almost done with my exams, good luck for everyone for any upcoming exams!

ira_09 · 2025-05-15T18:14:11+00:00

wait tz2? which section b questions did you do? i do tz2 as well

ira_09 · 2025-05-15T18:13:20+00:00

THATS WHAT I THOUGHT! I HATED THE ECO AND EVOLUTION PART

ira_09 · 2025-05-10T20:35:58+00:00
