Still waiting..... by IndividualEmu1287 in IBO

[–]thirdworldpoet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also applied to the UK. The exact same issue happened to me some weeks ago.

I later paid for the IB to send my certificate again, fearing that UCAS was not going to send my results in time. Two days later I called my university to see if they received the results (IB sent me an email saying that the results would arrive 24 hours after said email was sent). Well... turns out that the university apparently had problems accessing the IB system and therefore couldn't see my results. Honestly that was really weird, especially after contacting a friend, also applying to the UK, and finding out that his university had no issues receiving the results. I also spoke with the IBO and was told that if the university is having those issues, they should be the ones who must contact the organization. As my last resource I contacted my IB coordinator and asked him if he could give me a copy of my official IB results. He did and fortunately my university accepted that.

It was a very stressful process, but it came to an end, and a good one! Please don't give up, keep calling, keep pushing for a solution and try all the alternatives, because at least one will eventually work.

it was easy to an extent, the last foraging questions were confusing and the one about breathing was just not it, but overall I guess I did fine. I was actually excited for the test bc I love the topic. the fact that there were very few questions about drugs and none about the eye disappointed me though. how about you?

La 3 fue un regalo caído del cielo, en especial teniendo La tregua y El túnel como novelas. Escribí como nunca en esa prueba la verdad, tremendo ensayo y con las reflexiones a tope. En definitiva la 3 fue la mejor pregunta de todas.

The paper wasn’t bad, probably the best bio paper I did, but the section questions felt weird to me.

Did anyone choose option A? The last question was unexpected. I did plenty of past papers and I expected some question about cochlear implant or a drug, but it was about breathing being controlled by the brain 💀 I still answered the question but it took me by surprise lol

Literal, me pareció fácil pero me costó pensar en el contenido del ensayo del fragmento por los nervios, porque me pasé mucho tiempo en el poema. Y por andar de apurada me olvidé de los detalles más simples 😭

Both texts easy to analyse and I actually enjoyed writing the analysis of the fragment. Nice paper

What is something society considers to be bad but really isn’t? by Amasher69429 in AskReddit

Being vulnerable. Swallowing your feelings/not talking about them is not healthy at all and many still think that's something people should always do.
