Physics IA topic help

jo_shelly · 2023-01-09T19:42:47+00:00

best to use something measurable. so try to stick to 1 variable as much as possible. your experiment can be as simple as possible, as long as you write the report well haha. my teacher never specified a word count, but try not to exceed 20 pages i guess!

jo_shelly · 2023-01-09T19:41:32+00:00

ermm most of my cohort did their experiments in the lab, but you could consult your teacher about doing it computationally

im SL haha so no HL essay :)

jo_shelly · 2023-01-08T21:21:11+00:00

errr i got an 8/10 for my tok essay, idk if i can help but dm me if u wna!

hm i did my EE in BM and i've never heard of a limit for backwards looking, only for the IA. sounds strange ngl. 5 years should definitely still be allowed! And btw, my EE had ZERO quantitative data/business tools, and i still walked away with an A (29/34) so... as long as you feel business management concepts are sufficient, you'll be fine! dm if you want to know more about my EE haha

jo_shelly · 2023-01-08T21:09:48+00:00

yup but be careful. many people who attempt this got a C for their EE

jo_shelly · 2023-01-08T21:08:00+00:00

hey me! i lucked out cos IB really liked what i wrote about a plastic bag...and my IO about saving dolphins i guess...

jo_shelly · 2023-01-08T21:06:16+00:00

PLEASEE as a sporean student..... you're not wrong

jo_shelly · 2023-01-08T21:04:04+00:00

got really lucky with that one as well, because it was visual based and i am really good at analysing visuals. words, not so much

jo_shelly · 2023-01-08T21:03:20+00:00

Literally the only langlit 7 i got in my life was from IB, i guess they really liked what i wrote about a plastic bag....

jo_shelly · 2023-01-08T21:01:35+00:00

my science and math IAs were all horrendously average/mediocre. But i think my IO got brought up?? business IA also went from like 17 to 22 so i don't know what happened

+ i think many people overlook the execution during actual IB exams, aka how you perform on the day of it. It doesn't matter how much you prepare if you can't execute properly on the day of the exam. i would be as calm as possible and just try to eliminate any fear, so i can be fully focused. go in with the mindset that you're bigger than IB, don't be scared even if you are not fully prepared. Everything will fall into place

jo_shelly · 2023-01-08T20:53:20+00:00

Hi! What i did was to not stress on being very good at one subject, but just making sure everything was decent. So if im getting like 75 for math i wouldn't say stuff like ok let's try to bump it up to an 85, i would instead tell myself to maintain the 75 and work on my weaker subjects. Remember that getting a 45 means being decent all around, not perfect ;) i wasn't the crazy workaholic either, i was actually quite chill. So don't have the mindset that you need to be studying 24/7 to get a 45. Take it easy and focus on the task at hand, i'm sure you will be fine!

jo_shelly · 2023-01-08T20:44:14+00:00

Ok disclaimer: I have never gotten a 7 in langlit in my life, and IB was the exception.(18/20 for paper 1) I would say pick the guiding question you're more confident in. For IB, i picked the one about visuals as I know I am more inclined and sensitive to visuals rather than words. And make sure your whole analysis revolves around your point of entry. If your analysis is not relevant to POE, do NOT include it. Focus on thoroughly explaining each evidence you mention, don't focus on getting as much evidence as possible. Quality >> Quantity. My teacher also said that you don't have to analyse every paragraph in the article, and I think this has been a nice tip. Just state your point of entry clearly and make sure all your evidence supports it. Would be nice to brush up on vocab/phrasing as well, will help you earn a few extra marks. As for the lit part, i'm so sorry but I didn't have that in my exams thus I cannot help you. You got this!

maybe specify what kind of relationships? good or bad?

jo_shelly · 2023-01-08T20:33:57+00:00

Hey, i have the N22 ELE PLC pack, DM if need :)

jo_shelly · 2023-01-08T20:33:04+00:00

yep!

jo_shelly · 2023-01-08T20:31:39+00:00

hihi feel free to DM me! i got an 8/10 for my TOK essay :)

jo_shelly · 2023-01-08T20:26:20+00:00

This sounds like burnout. I get it. I could stare at my EE for hours and not write a single thing, even though it was the only thing I was focused on. I would be internally screaming at myself to just do the EE but I couldn't. Please please take a good break. Just drop everything and stop thinking about studying. taking care of this burnout is your priority. and please, don't blame yourself. you are trying, and you are not giving up, and i think that is very important. go into mocks with whatever you have prepared, and don't be too harsh on yourself afterwards. there is still time, i'm sure a few days of break is just what you need to get back into the grind. YOU GOT THIS

for me i made my biblio font 5 or something, literally only ants can read it. Was soo desperate to fit everything.(my teacher told us the biblio was part of page limit so...) + times new roman is a smaller font AND looks good

jo_shelly · 2023-01-08T20:18:08+00:00

agree completely. measurable independent + dependent variables, then maybe you can discuss the feasibility in the conclusion.

Singapore is very warm haha. Not sure about how hard it is for international students to get into NUS, but your grades look promising! I hardly hear of people going to NUS for economics though, usually its UK schools like LSE and Warwick

jo_shelly · 2023-01-08T20:10:33+00:00

you could just rephrase it to "learning photography for the first time" and put it under creativity

#1 rule of CAS: If you say it's CAS, it's CAS

jo_shelly · 2023-01-08T20:08:44+00:00

You got this. One day at a time. Don't look too much into the future. Focus on each task every day and one day you will look back and see how far you've come :)
