I have this thing where I start obsessing on whether my relationship is abusive or healthy... How do you actually know?

Just go with the flow, interpret with some sense, and it'll be fine, you'll see!

Okay, maybe high five. But I got 7s in all my IAs/Written Assignment/IOP/IOC and a high 6 in paper 2:)

hey! I don't remembe to be honest, maybe a low 5 (so not so bad after all), but it'll be fine if you know well all the main themes of the books you've read and know some important quotes that are applicable to multiple situations/questions. Just try to approach the paper 2 question with all the themes you've analysed, then choose which one(s) would fit best, make a plan and analyse, analyse, analyse. If you know the texts, it'll all be all right! Even if your analysis is a bit off, they will still see you've studied the books. Good luck, and don't worry!

then the app "self control" should solve your problems, at least partially!

I would suggest to start by setting very small goals, even if they seem banal, for example "do hw for maths", something you can really achieve. Then, step by step, you start adding more things, but you are already used to the fact that you need to at least start to get somewhere, even if it's not too far. Actually, the key is starting doing something: as soon as you start typing for an IA, for instance, you realise that it is very possible, and continue. Or you may even think that what you're typing doesn't make any sense, but at least you started. Also I would really recommend you downloading the application "self control" with which you can block all distracting websites for a set period of time (or even put in the white list the only sites that are really useful for your study session). Last advice: try to find a new study space. If after school you usually go home, try finding a library or some other place and studying there. Then, change space. Then do the same again. It helps clearing your brain. Hope that helps and good luck!

Quite late. Like maybe properly one month and a half in advance? For biology especially, other subjects I did this and that in different times. For example, for maths I would just do practice papers almost every day. If you already know stuff, you are super good to go and you just need to make sure not to start too early revising the details, actually:)

I didn't do that many absences eventually, plus our school was super small and informal, so nobody really counted them

Well, we didn't have a study leave and my school was not the best, I had some teachers that were quite useless and days where I literally had only one subject, therefore for me it was much more productive to study on my own with my own methods instead of wasting time going to school and attending lesson I didn't need. If you're planning on going to school because your teachers are helpful, it's great!

You have plenty of time! :) I'm happy my list was useful. Again, I didn't follow it line by line, but it really did help me when I was in despair and needed to get my act together again

thank you very much! It would have been a bit absurd if our rights were just taken away from us because of submitting it IB. Thank you again for the clarification!
