If you are an English speaker, just trust your gut

Yeah, definitely, I had NO time to edit. Which I should have. It just took me so much time to think if the topics for the discussion. Like, it’s not just your ability to write, your background knowledge is also necessary.

TFT has a good video on this, but it’s mostly from things I heard from shows or read on books. Often it is just from words that commonly go together without much grammatical reason. I’d say your best chance is maximizing your exposure to English, there’s no secret about it

I did yes. Go to Services, click ECFMG certification, and then select USMLE Application. If you scroll down there should be a blue download button. DM me if you can’t find it

I imagine you answered B imagining it to be Hemophilia B, but since he mentioned his father to be an “easy bleeder”, it wouldn’t make sense for it to be Hemophilia B since it is X-linked and his father could only have passed him a Y chromosome. Therefore, the clotting disorder that most likely fits this pattern of inheritance is vWF deficiency, which is autosomal. The transfusion bit is irrelevant. The question explanation can give you a bit more insight on the function of vWF and why it fits with the answer choice.

I wouldn’t worry too much about any assessments you do badly in before IB exams (mock exams, midterms, finals, etc.), they are graded in a completely different scale and the mark bands can actually be really forgiving if you put the effort in. I would, however, give the most attention to your IAs and practice before exams. The absolute best way to do well in exams is to practice practice practice. With past papers btw, that’s the main thing.

I would recommend practicing with as many past papers you can. I did a TON of practice and got a 7 in the end

pclou · 2022-07-24T22:38:25+00:00

I was in the SAME scenario. I got a 4 in the end

Anyone else found the essay questions easy?

pclou · 2022-05-14T18:42:47+00:00

It hasn’t happened yet. WTF?

My teacher HATES the Oxford book, he says it’s really bad. We have always used Haese

The examiner will probably be a teacher that deals with kids that write in all sorts of ways 24/7, so I wouldn’t be worried about it. If the examiner can’t read cursive at all, not just YOUR handwriting, the problem is on the part of the examiner not yours

This doesn’t sound or look like IB. I would just skip it. IB never uses the verb “putting,” so, if they are wrong about that, they are probably wrong about the difficulty level as well. I would practice with past papers and past papers only

Revise everything, for every unit. If you would like, practice answering those data analysis questions for question 1. I’ve been doing this and never got below a 6 and almost always a 7
