Like I am so sorry I want to do a History EE. Please forgive me for my school restricting the amount of people that can do an EE in a specific subject and me hoping I get history 😔

Yipppppppeeeeeee

I'm freeeeeeeeee

I really enjoy F1 a lot and I used it once in my Math Mini IA where you apply quadratic modeling, and I chose modeling a speed profile of an F1 car on a turn. A week ago the entire cohort was given an EE discussion, and I heard that I must use something that I will enjoy, so I chose English even if I can be pretty mid at analysis (adverts and political cartoons) since it is easy, and I wanted to choose F1 like the movie or drive to survive. However I am aware it may contain profane content and I don't want to risk myself getting in trouble. Any good EE topics related to F1 that is actually worthy?

My friends and teacher are busy and can't mark. So who do I go to for my practise ones? Can you guys recommend tutors or resources? I don't mind paying, but I need it to be affordable :) Ty<3

Edit: I prefer human over AI, as I have put graded examples in there and it always ends up getting the markscheme wrong for me.

I just finished my midterm and did relatively well with around 37 out of 45, thing is when i recieved my predicted grade, almost half of my results went down by one going to a 32/45, same with my other classmates with some of them having 2 grades below their test results. For example, I had 2 econs tests with real ib questions on it covering almost 75% of the topics we learned and i got a high 6 on both but still got a 5 on my predicted and ive been a straight 7 for math this year and last year but my grade was still lowered. Since my class is a really small class in an international school, we only have around 8 students, with 5 of them getting lower pgs than their actual results, and 3 of them getting way higher pgs than their results. I got almost the same total grade as one of my classmates but she got a 39 with higher pgs than her tests while mine got lowered??? I asked my teacher about this and he said that the school asked them to be more strict on the pgs for students and mainly use the grades we got last year. Is that normal?? I've decided to talk to my teachers about this issue next week but is there anyway i can get the school to raise my grades, all my other classmates are also mad about this

hello i really hope this isnt a dumb question but i need a question answered over the history IA

So I know the history IA can not be over recent events (within the last 10 years) but can I use a recent source from the last 10 years? I am writing about something that happened in the 1960's and right now one of my secondary sources is from 2023. It never said anything about *sources* being recent but i would like to be sure

I narrowed my options to these subjects. I’m trying to think of EE ideas, but I was wondering what experience people had with doing these EE subjects. Because of my rather difficult subject combo, I want an ’easier’ EE. What is yalls experience with these??

Has anyone faked their math IA data and do external ib coordinators ask schools to see proof of data collection or do they only asses teachers marking. Also if you get caught faking your math IA data and personal engagement do you lose all makes on the IA or the entire diploma?

Hii!

I have a Paper 1 assessment coming up really soon, and I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on how to structure it! I've looked at a couple of samples online and noticed that many of them use different approaches to organizing their body paragraphs.

I've mostly made up my mind about organizing my body paragraphs by themes or literary devices (as that's what my teacher recommended), but I'm still a little unsure about how to write a strong introduction.

I've noticed that some introductions address the guiding question early on, then summarize the extract before concluding with their thesis. However, I've also seen examples where the writer summarizes the extract first before presenting their thesis.

I know this might sound a little confusing the way I'm describing it, but if any of you have advice on how to structure the introduction properly (or any other parts of Paper 1), please let me know!

Im in dp1 and has just started aa hl and im struggling. We just had a few summatives which I did horribly in and I feel like I can understand the content and the formulas well but I can’t apply them to the questions properly, its like it doesn’t prepare you well for the ppqs they give. Does anyone have any advice?? Like no matter how many videos and notes I watch, I still can’t get the questions right or understand them, they’re all worded weirdly or just don’t make sense. 

From the statistics and internet opinion, I'e heared that English EEs are one of the easiest (statistically) to score high in. I am also thinking to do it in because my other option is MATHS.

But the worry is I usually used to get 4-5 in MYP for literary analysis in English, so I don't know if I could really do good in English EE and write a long 4,000 words and additionally read extra books?

Hello !! A lot of people mention having been/knowing others who have been penalized heavily for using AI, and I was wondering, what do you mean by "using AI", exactly? Like, would I get penalized for using AI to compile my results or data on a spreadsheet? I'd assume not, but then would I get penalized for using AI to say, scan texts and find appropriate page numbers for source references, or just tell it to "go online" and scour the web to find data that corroborates my research and put it into a spreadsheet, and just source what the AI sources (as well as the AI, obviously) and use it?

I'm really just confused as to what extent is AI use a problem (not ethically, diploma-wise), and if someone could provide me with clarity, I'd be really grateful :))

Hey! Another question unfortunately.

I was wondering if its actually required to discuss a correlation coefficient or r-squared value for your processed data graphs. My data does not follow a linear trend; it instead kind of peaks in the middle and drops again.

A lot of my previous reports I have always discussed the r-squared value as a means of evaluating the reliability of my data, but I am finding it really hard to find a trendline to fit my data and calculate the r-squared in the first place.

I did a general search on the internet, and it says it's not necessary to discuss the correlation coefficient if I discuss other uncertainties for my reliability, but is this true??

What if I don't have a clear timeline?? Do I still just put a linear fit and evaluate?

Thank you!!!!!

Hi!! I am an IB N25 graduate with a score of 40 and I'm offering paid tutoring. I can explain a variety of topics, design personalized tests, offer solved past papers, extensive notes and provide internal assessment feedback.

These are the subjects I offer and my score:

History HL: 7

• The Move to Global War

• Authoritarian States (Hitler and Fidel Castro)

• The Cold War: Superpower Tensions and Rivalry

• The Second World War in the Americas

• Political Developments in Latin America (1945-1980)

Spanish A Lang & Lit HL: 7

I can correct exams, help with the IOA and more! I have deep analysis of Persepolis (2000-2003) and El Dador (1993).

English B HL: 7

Math AA SL: 7

I have solved past papers from 2014 to 2024 and can explain them all thoroughly.

I can also explain the basics in Chemistry SL and help with English EEs and TOK essays. I can teach in Spanish or English. I have a relatively flexible schedule (CEST timezone) and love to teach!

Its been 1 month since I started 1st IB and my English teacher has already been talking to us about choosing where we want to study. I'm not sure yet, but I would like to study in MIT or Cambridge a double major of Physics and Biology. In MIT, of the subjects I study, I could only get points por doing IB by doing Math HL and in Cambridge and universities like Cambridge they directly won’t check the rest of my academic record if I don’t have math HL. The problem is that as in my school we're studying the international and national baccalaureates at the same time, our subjects were already defined by our track (biological sciences (mine), technological sciences or letters/human sciences). It is mandatory to do Spanish LangLit A and English B at HL, and I had to choose between [bio HL, math AA SL, chem SL and national physics] or [math AA HL, physics SL, chem SL and national thecnical drawing (I would choose national biology next year, this year I can’t)] and I do History SL as anticipated instead of Environmental Systems and Societies (ESS). So I’ve asked my school if they would let me change math AA SL for Math AA HL and they said yes. The thing is that we’re two classes and the time in which we have math class isn’t the same as the other class, so I would have to do some hours of English and Philosophy/Tok with a different teacher (if they let me), if not, I would have to prepare it during the first year by myself (with some help of the teacher, but not going to classes). I wanted to ask if I’m crazy for doing 4 subjects at HL and if someone did it or is doing it please advice me on how to study, how much you study per HL subject and if you find it very difficult or impossible to have good marks doing this. (Btw, I don’t procrastinate and I’m used to studying, so that wouldn’t be a problem).

For context, I am switching to partial IB after having a long discussion with my parents because I did not take any french courses prior. My school doesn't have any other alternative and I thought I could catch up by doing lots of extensive self studying. (I also live in Canada so doing IB doesn't really matter.) Now, I feel like it is a waste of time when I could be studying for subjects that are relative to my field of interest post secondary.

French SL 11 is a full year long course and I want to know whether if I drop to partial next semester, I would get a W for that course because I would rather have that instead of a low mark. Does it vary from school to school? If you have any information about it please do let me know.

hi there! i am starting the IB next year for n28 and was wondering if anyone had some advice for achieving top marks ( i am aiming for 42-45)…

for reference these are my subjects

HL - English A Lang Lit, History, Economics

SL - Biology, Math AA, Spanish Ab initio

Im usually pretty dedicated to studying and can crack down on a few hours each day, and depending on if i have sport on or not i can maintain a consistent ~2hrs/day (week days). I understand this will probably be ramped up next year so i decided to drop a sport to allow for more time to study! I have a few concerns for each subject but chose these ones very carefully for the degree I want to do at uni -

English - I usually do quite well in english, but lately have been feeling a bit insecure around my structure in my essays, they are usually okay but for some reason I just havent been able to write that well these past few months (IMO). when i have a spare hour here and there i try to sit down and just write a paragraph on a random prompt but have been discouraged a lot after receiving a considerably lower score for one of my essays this year than what i usually get (avg high 90s) ( got a 72%). I kind of knew i didnt do my best as i was quite sick from the flu leading up to it but didnt realise it was going to impact my grade that much!

Math AA - i initially wanted to do AI SL but i ended up choosing AA SL… but math is not really my strong suit. I am in advanced math atm but not enjoying it and finding it hard to consistently keep up (avging a high c, low b). i read on here past papers are great for revision so i will definitely do that but was wondering if there was any tips someone would recommend to do in the holidays leading up to DP1.

History HL - i know the syllabus got halved for my year (thank gosh!) but still not too sure what to expect/ prepare for, would be grateful for any advice on this!

Economics HL - i have never taken economics at school, i have done some academic enrichment sessions into economics and really enjoyed it but dont know much about it other than that. is there anything i should do to prepare for it in the holidays? or would they teach economics introductory and assume no prior knowledge?

Biology - i really enjoyed biology at school and am avging an A - my teacher mentioned Ib biology dabbles with a bit of biochem but i wasnt too sure to what extent, especially considering im doing SL.

Spanish - not too many concerns as i know its an introductory course so i am hoping i will be able to get a 7 in this if i keep dedicated time towards it!

For anyone taking multiple essay-heavy HL subjects, how do you manage the workload, particularly when IAs, the EE and TOK deadlines begin overlapping?

Anyways, thank you to whoever is reading this for reading so far! Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!

p.s - any TOK advice or EE advice would be great too! study tips and any tips in general for the IB would be super helpful too!

My teacher is a little wayy too laid back and I feel like if I dont do some self studying im gonna fail the IB exam 🥀 If anyone has taken this class before please recommend me any online resources that may be helpful 🙏

I have my math ia due in a week and mid terms coming up and I have no idea what to do. i'm a math aasl student and have no guidance on how the ia works from my teacher at all. i was occupied with other ias and completely forgot about this. idek how to look up topics and I know posting here is a lazy approach instead of researching, but I'm also too exhausted to aim arrows in the dark. Please help

Hi i just started DP1 ( Hl eng ll , bm , econ .. SL ess , math ai , french b)

I just finished my first tests in a few of these subjects and im not doing that well. I understand the material but finding it hard to answer the question correctly. Did anyone experience this?? Does it get better??

Also need tips for eng HL LANG Lit , any tricks?? :))

could someone give me advice on it. i want a 7.

Hey! Just switched over from the NSS curriculum (HKDSE). How do I revise for pre-IB tests? How do I know that I’ve understood all the information? Should I memorise my notes? And any useful apps I could use? Ty!

hi im fully new to IB but im in y13 (complicated situation)

Now ive been thrown into this course right in the middle of marketing, and I have my marketing test in 2 days. For the first test I got a really high 6, but lost a lot of points on my 10 marker and in general because I didn't know structure for my responses.

IS there a resource that covers all command terms and 10-mark response question structures? Any advice for me to learn otherwise?

tyyy :)
