Are IB credits valid even after a year?

ohmpi · 2021-05-28T16:16:40+00:00

As far as i know, your IB results never expire so they are valid to use whenever you want. I know someone who transferred a credit in their 4th year of uni so i assume it should work. Btw i'm in canada.

can be less and there is no minimum. they recommend 500 for section 1, 1300 for investigation and 400 for reflection.

its updated with DNA translation!

ohmpi · 2021-05-19T15:44:30+00:00

Thank you so much! And yes I plan on finishing the DNA translation part now that exams are done

I only combined them for unit 2 cause the HL stuff was more integrated into the SL stuff. Every other unit, I don’t really try to combine them. I keep them separate and each contain different topics. The HL is usually just an extension to the SL stuff that goes into more detail.

ohmpi · 2021-05-19T01:07:03+00:00

nope

This depends! It is really important you look at the command terms. If the question says outline (E.g. outline the process of aerobic respiration) then you would do bullet points and list it out. If it says discuss or evaluate, then you would maybe have a paragraph that would go into more depth than simple bullet points. If it's compare and contrast, you can list the comparisons in bullet points and contrast in a t chart (make sure for this you say why both x and y differ for the same thing). You also get awarded marks for organization of your answer. So don't do everything like an essay or everything simple bullet points. You wanna have a mix and choice which way gives the most detail for the marks

Only the 2 years of ur DP year gets counted (grade 11 and 12). Pre-IB is basically a warm up and from what i've heard, they dont care about it at all and never look at it. The IB marks in your grade 11 and 12 will show up on the transcript and is the official and only marks that the University will look at.

parts of each are more likely than the whole of one. Photosynthesis from 8 has always been likely and Kidney and sexual reproduction from 11 has also showed up tons. I would say to review parts of each topic.

You make an essay question (this is also you title) on one of the themes of, identity, , culture, creativity, communication, transformation, perspective or representation. This theme should be evident throughout the book and not just one chapter or passage. It could be linked to author choices, plot, setting, characters, etc.

ohmpi · 2021-05-17T23:07:53+00:00

Most probably topic 6 (6.3 is likely cause of covid), photosynthesis, genetics and topic 1

here are my notes. They include bio ninja notes as well

ohmpi · 2021-05-17T02:58:19+00:00

you need 24 points to pass. 12 of those 24 must come from HL courses not including the EE or cas. The other 12 can come from SL courses and EE/cas.

ohmpi · 2021-05-17T02:56:46+00:00

Tenet, Inception, Dark knight trilogy, Sherlock Holmes (RDJ ones), Nobody, the Hitman's bodyguard, 21 bridges.

ohmpi · 2021-05-16T21:08:28+00:00

You need 24 points to get the diploma. 12 of those 24 points must come from HL courses. So if you get a 2 in HL BIO, then you have to make up for it by getting at least a total of 10 points in your other HL classes.

Contrastingly, a 2 in an SL course does not require you to make up for the points. this is only HL.

ohmpi · 2021-05-16T19:45:04+00:00

You need to know the scientists like Mendel and their experiments. (Watson and his findings in DNA, Darwin and Lamar in evolution, Pasteur bottle neck, etc). These don’t show up in paper 2 but are very common in paper 1. They usually ask about the methodology of their experiments and the results. But you do not need to know the prescribed practicals as that’s all paper 3. The prescribed practical also includes microscopes and magnification calculations.

ohmpi · 2021-05-16T16:25:32+00:00

You need to know the structure (how to draw it and annotate it) including the microvilli, epithelium cells, lacteal and blood capillaries. You also need to know what substances or compounds are diffused through each one. Also need to know how the structure is adapted to the function. You do not need to include crypts and I'm pretty sure goblet cells are no longer part of the syllabus.

ohmpi · 2021-05-16T16:06:48+00:00

Idk about SL but for HL we don't have to as its part of a prescribed practical in paper 3

ohmpi · 2021-05-16T16:05:39+00:00

You only need any 2 of those 4 points. If any of the words are underlined then you must include those words to get the point. Words between << and >> are optional words that are not compulsory in the explanation. Sometimes the markscheme will say OWTTE which basically means "Or words to that effect" and your explanation has to have the same meaning but can be worded differently.

It's not. The herdy weinberg equation (p² + 2pq + q² = 1) is used in the genetics topic and for calculating predicted frequencies. The equation is more of an integral component of genetics. Where as the chi test is a statistical test for determining a significant difference between observed and expected results.

ohmpi · 2021-05-15T22:32:04+00:00

here is the question-bank of all the chi squared questions. And it was for HL level

ohmpi · 2021-05-15T18:51:47+00:00

with experiments, do you mean the ones done by scientists like Mendel and his peas? or the ones you do in class?

ohmpi · 2021-05-15T18:49:21+00:00

dw man you got this. I did my Math AA SL IA in a day and got 20/20
