Do you have any chemistry HL notes
No sorry, I didn’t take chemistry
Math notes
Anybody have any math notes to share? Submit them to me and I’ll post them and give you creds!
DNA is the abbreviation of deoxyribonucleic acid. This name comes from the structures that make up DNA; deoxyribose and nucleic acids. (phosphate molecules are also integral parts of DNA)
1. Deoxyribose: Deoxyribose is a pentose sugar (C4H10O4). It binds with phosphate through covalent bonds at...
3.4.1 Explain DNA replication in terms of unwinding the double helix and separation of the strands by helicase, followed by formation of the new complementary strands by DNA polymerase.
DNA replication is semi-conservative as both of the DNA molecules produced are formed from an old strand and a...
Oh, the famous CAS hours. Every IB student knows you can’t pass IB without CreativityActionService! Lets be honest, sometimes these CAS hours can be pretty time consuming and difficult to manage when there’s a pile of homework waiting at home for you. The purpose of CAS hours is simple....
So i'm in full pre-ib right now and we just had the uni fair - i know its early but i couldn't help but seeing. All the programs that i want to get into for unis need at least a 90 percent average and with ib right now im getting mid eighties and low 90's and i can't tell if thats good or not? I feel like that's really bad compared to what the uni's are looking for and i dont know if i should stay in full ib or drop to partial/regular. What would you suggest? Thanks so much :)
you’re in pre-ib, relax! if you’re at 80% average that’s still really good. IB is insanely hard and universities take that into consideration.
If this was me, I’d still take the IB, because at any point you can drop out. I had a friend who did all of the first year and like 3/4 of the second year of IB right up until her mock exams when she realized she wasn’t doing very well, and did what we call “the high school diploma.” and it’s fine!
like you can be surprised how many universities still accept you, regardless of your scores. you can be a bit off from what they ask and it’s fine. when you apply, have a killer essay and remember to take part in lots of extra curriculars.
pre-ib is great prep for the real thing, I didn’t take pre-ib, but i wish i could’ve. and you’ll improve don’t worry, it’s still early and universities only look at your final scores, not what you have now anyway. so relax and it’s fine, you’ve got a long way to go :)
Follow the steps (click link) and you'll improve a lot!
Super important one though, when you are reading the text have a stack of post its next to you and what I did, is that each color of post its represents a different theme. So when you start writing your essay and you choose around what you'll write about you can easily flick to the pages of the book with that theme (indicated by the color post it you chose :) )
what can be smooth but also rough ;)))))

Hi! You know I'm having some troubles with my oral activities in english and i just wanted to ask if you have any advice or tips so i can improve please :)
FIRST TIP: TALK SLOWLY
I didnt have a powerpoint or anything to guide me, just a few pictures I printed out, so I had nothing to guide me and I talked really fast. Like really really fast, so I lost points for presentation and ended up getting a 6 when I could've gotten a 7. So:
1. Talk slowly and take your time. Have notes with you so you know what comes next in your presentation.
2. Practice it over and over again. Close the door so nobody in your house thinks you're talking about books by yourself outloud haha.
3. But choose something that interests you, and something that you actually have fun researching.
4. Find out comparisons and real life events that relate to the book. For example, I did mine on To Kill a Mockingbird and I found Harper Lee's inspiration that she used for the trial in the book (this real life trial with many men "accused" of raping this girl). So yeah, find something that your teacher and your audience will be like shit they did their research.
5. Themes, always have a theme that you keep referring back to.
6. A friend for his oral presentation did a mock interview with Harper Lee, and he did really well because all he did was write a script and follow it and he got me to read the other part. It was really unique and it's much easier to plan out.
7. You need to show your understanding of the text you read, and then apply your own personal response. This is key.
As long as you have these themes and show the audience you know this book back to front, but also came up with your own ideas and assumptions from it, you're good.
Hi :) I'm only in Grade 10 so I'm in the PreIB programme. I was wondering how you study for quizzes and exams? Especially for math and science because I'm really having trouble with studying right now. Thank you so much :D
I found checklists really useful, I used them a lot for biology especially when there are so many topics and subtopics. Ask your teacher for them. What I did was have a book for each subject and have sticky notes that divided the book into the sub topics, for example in maths I'd have trigonometry, differentiation, etc...
But yeah get these checklists and it's easier to see what you need to do and how much you have done. Since the checklist only has sub topics and learning outcomes, you can quiz yourself and you don't have to look at your notes.
Flashcards also really helped me. Made a bunch a bunch, especially with certain maths formulae that I had to learn, and some common questions I would also put there.
In maths, I also went through like five past papers and narrowed down what always ended up in the exams and studied exactly those things really well.
Also I made note cards and put them next to my mirror so every time I was getting ready I would read them and eventually that stuff really stuck in my head.
It's pretty general haha, but essentially you want:-checklists-past papers-flashcards-note cards
is this the coolest thing or what

A) Subject Decide from which subject your EE will be on. It is most advisable that its from one of the subjects you’re studying. B) Topic Which area in the subject you’ve chosen are you interested in? E.g: History: Cold War E.g: English: Pride and Prejudice E.g: Chemistry: Acids and Bases
C) Research Tres important mes aimies! It’s through research you will find out what you do like, and what you don’t like. E.g: I rather like World War Two, but I do not like the involvement of the US. This means I will not focus on US involvement in WWII. Gather as many resources which are relevant, even if it’s just a sentence. You never know when your EE focus point might change. D) Question The focus point of your essay. In most cases, it continues to change slightly, until a pinpoint focus in a topic is found and liked by both the supervisor and student. E) Planning Decide on the relevant subtopics. Are diagrams needed? Gather resources. A basic dot-pointed list of what will be included in the essay for each sub-topic F) Drafting Place butt on suitable surface and type/write. There are two ways to go about this: i) Set a goal and write an x amount of words every ‘session’. ii) Type/write until you can no more! At this point it is the introduction, background information abour the topic and the body of the essay which is being written. G) The First Complete Draft 4000+ words have been put to paper. This is an Accomplishment. Reread it and edit. Then show your supervisor, who will provide you with feedback. Do not ignore the feedback (unless your supervisor is clueless and has no hell of an idea what you’re doing- which is very bad). It is not necessary that a conclusion and an abstract are written, since they come at the end. H) Continual drafting Edit and rewrite and improve your essay as much as you can. Keep track of ALL sources used. The correct presentation of the essay (formatting, font, etc…) can be implemented at this point. I) The Final Draft A viva voce (oh, the IBO and its fancy Latin!) is conducted. This is an interview with your supervisor regarding any more changes which can be made. Your supervisor actually records points they’ve noticed about your essay and other notes about the interview. The essay is checked for plagiarism. J) SUBMISSION! Your EE component is done and dusted. The IB warlocks will give you a mark. This mark, along with your TOK essay will contribute your final IB diploma mark, with a maximum of three.
ALSO if you have to do any data collection and experiments, DO IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. In my school so many students got delayed in their extended essay because they underestimated how many experiments in biology they had to do. I did geography and I ended up having not as much primary data as I would've wanted. So do that as soon as possible and get lots of data, the more the merrier, since you have more to talk about!
ADVICE TO IB STUDENTS
1. Don't put things off
- Use a planner
- Write essays in small parts before you start, breaking it down makes it easier
- Use a timer for practice essays or homework (really helped me to figure out how much time I should spend studying afterschool).
- Follow your routine. If you like making plans make sure you actually stick to them.
2. Think like an examiner
- Look at the assessment criteria
- Read previous subject reports
3. It's all about money for examiners
- Write in tidy handwriting
- Be specific and concise (I know it's hard under exam conditions so that's why you gotta practice a lot!). Don't blabber on.
- Organize ideas. Spend a minute before you start writing in the exam to make a mini plan (Highly recommended for english and economics. English I spent about ten to fifteen minutes making a plan, economics about two minutes.)
4. Collaborate
- Work together to het higher grades (proofread each other's extended essays and give feedback- from those dong the same subject as you)
- Grade each others' work with the criteria before you hand it in.
- Brainstorm ideas together
- Argue for and against
- Explain it all to someone (pretend they have no background knowledge at all)

I've taken math SL and I'm not the best at it which is why I don't have a lot of confidence in my Economics Paper 3 too. Any tips?
I took maths SL and it’s pretty hard when you don’t really like maths.
Paper 2 Economics is international & development economics.
1) Definitions are key for these two parts. You gain like at least four marks from just definitions, and those are easy marks. It’d be a shame if you did lose marks. So learn definitions like free trade, tariffs, quotas, subsidies, balance of payments, WTO, etc. Learn it word for word.
2) I’ve noticed that in every paper there is at least something that has to do with Millennium Development Goals. It was easy for me because I knew them back to front (I took geography). But learn what the eight goals are and have examples for each one. In the essay questions it’s great to throw an example about those: it really shows your knowledge and you expand from the question.
3) If they do not mention MDGs then it’s the World Trade Organization, learn about two of their objectives and you’re set.
4) You always get points for referring to other parts of economics. So like I said above, if you’re answering a questions about the advantages and disadvatages of free trade are, throw in some micro or macro knowledge and talk about how supply and demand of products may change or how government intervention is part of that.
5) Also you are best friends with the text provided. Refer back to it. Like in the last two questions refer back to the text, it doesn’t matter how you say it but let the examiner know that you read it and fully understand what’s going on.
6) Learn how to draw positive and negative externality graphs. Like I’m not too good at economics graphs but with these two you are set for the development economics section. It’s bound for a question about education or health, and all that stuff. And positive externalities ALWAYS tie in. You can’t have an essay and not have a graph. Graphs are crucial (and always in pencil or else you’ll regret it).
Hope this helps ( it’s been a while since I talk economics after I finished IB haha)
Great useful powerpoint! Click the link :)
