I'm currently choosing courses for my grade 9 year, and I have to choose between grade 10 intro to computer studied and grade 11 comp sci (both require no pre-requisites, and both are available for ninth graders). The grade 10 course is like an introduction to fields in technology and an introduction to Python, while the grade 11 course is programming in Java and an intro to graphical UIs. I’m also taking Python classes right now. I’m really stuck and would really appreciate it if someone could help me decide which course is the best one for a grade 9 student. Thank you

Hi! I'm in the middle of my Pre-IB year now, and I'm thinking of applying for a scholarship for UWC (United World College) to be able to study my two IB years abroad. However, I'm having a bit of trouble deciding on what school I'd like to go to, and if it actually will be any difference for me, since I already have the chance to take full IB at home... I'm thinking of having Li Po Chun United World College (located in Hong Kong) as my first choice. Does anyone have any good or bad experience from there? I know that the Asian way of studying differs quite much from the Finnish, I've myself lived in South Korea for many years, and attended the International School of Bus…

So i'm having a sort of dilemma. I'm in the middle of my first year of IB1 (just finished the first semester and my December exams) BUT I'm doing terrible in SL physics and am really thinking of switching to SL biology. My physics teacher is really bad and has completely ruined my interest and like cannot teach. I also really don't want to risk my grades because of him. The only issue is that i've missed an entire semester of biology. I took IGCSE bio in y9 and enjoyed it, then did physics in y10 and y11 so decided to stay with it in IB because i did not know that i would be getting a new physics teacher (bad idea cause the new guy sucks). So I really don't know what I s…

I'm a grade 9 (MYP4) student who only started my MYP study a few months ago. I come from a Chinese public school which is holding a totally different teaching method compare to my current school. As a new student, I did not work so well on my first semester and most of grades I got are between 4 to 6. (exception for Chinese because I've studied it for a long while). especially for some assessments like essays and lab reports, which are mostly graded for criteria B,C and D. In addition, my English ability is not such bad, so I don't have to be too worry about listen to teachers during the class. I'd love to get some advices on how to write better essays an…

Hey all, I'm currently taking an IGCSE curriculum, and am finding it difficult choosing between SL Analysis and SL Applied for my mathematics IB course. I'm looking to going into a form of environmental science in Australia. I'm not the greatest at math, but I am able to pass most tests and am currently on a 4/9. My parents and I are very concerned about my ability to take the SL Analysis course as my school has told me it is impossible for me to take the extended test (which apparently you need a 7 in to get into SL Analysis) due to them thinking that I won't pass it. I've continued to be taught the regular syllabus despite me having…

Hello everyone, I'm in grade 8 and I'm going to be taking the IB entrance test for Bayview Secondary School this year. Multiple people from my school make it to Bayview IB each year, however none of them have been willing to give me the answers I wanted, so I'll be asking them here. Does anybody know around how many people apply and how many people have made it into Bayview IB program in the last couple of years (from 2016-2018, preferably)? How hard are the questions in each section? How pressed for time are you, usually, and are the levels of difficulty of the questions similar to the sample questions posted on the Bayview website? Any answers or advice would…

Hello, so the entrance exams for some programs are coming around this November, and I'm doing a few exams, but one that stands out to me is the entrance exam for Saint Roberts CHS pre IB. I know that they don't test French, but for the math, is it around grade 8 curriculum level or is it more like grade 9 curriculum math? Also, for the reading comprehension part, how can I prepare? I've been doing Gauss math contests, grade 7 and 8, and usually I can get all Part A and Part B questions right ; however, Part C questions tend to stump me, usually I get 2 or 3 of the Part C questions right, but once in a blue moon I can get the last 2? My reading comprehension preparation ha…

Hello, I am a student in Canada who is in grade 8th getting ready to give the entrance exam for Pre-IB. I wanted to know what are the requirements to get into IB. I have been reading a few discussions and they all mentioned marks of grade 7. I got my marks in the 70s range and math marks in 80s. So, do you need good grades in grade 7 to get into IB? And please also let me know about other requirements. Thank you!

Hello Guys I am planning to gather some information about the Personal Project process and I need your help. We have heard different stories about projects that have been conducted without accurate guidance, due to lack of connection and communication between the student and the supervisor in terms of expectations, commitment etc. - Do you think students have all the necessary support at their schools? - How would you react if someone from the IB programme joins private tuition for PP? - Do you think it's the right thing to do if they are looking for the best possible score and they feel helpless or not satisfied enough with the school approach/guidan…

Hey, I am currently in Grade 10 doing my MYP at an International School in Germany. I joined the IB system in January 2018 (which means I am at the school for 1 1/2 years now). Right at the beginning, I was offered to go to the English A course, however, I chose not to because I wanted to focus on the other subjects as everything was in a different language (used to study at a German School). After I finished 9th grade, (transferred into 10th) my English teacher offered me to move up again, but my family situation is quite tricky, so I missed the deadline and therefore stayed in English B ): A few months into 10th grade, I finally decided to talk to my English teacher and…

I took my IB entrance exam today (St. Robert CHS) and I don't think I did so well - I guessed an answer from the mathematics section and left one question unanswered, and I don't think I did the greatest in the language section. I also didn't have much time to check over my answers, and barely skimmed through my math answers before time was up I'm going to garner a guess and say that about 800 students applied this year, and from the previous year, there were 5 IB classes, so if there were about 30 students in each class, about 150 were accepted. St. Robert CHS will look at a small writing sample, the language and math exams, my IEP, my grade 7 final report card and my g…

Hey, I am going to start IB next year(pre-IB student) and I am sure and confident about hardworking in IB but ı have a doubt about it. In Turkey we have an important exam to enter universities. This exam is so important that some of the students even started to study for this from the first year of high school. I choose IB to earn a different and qualified mentality and improve my knowledge in science in a different language side. My purpose is to get in a Med school, sure I want to go to a prestige university in UK but it is too expensive. So here is my question: Could I study IB while I am studying to my country's exam?

Many of my friends are confident that I wouldn't end up on a waitlist and get accepted in the first round (which I did). But I don't feel confident in passing it.

Hello y'all, We've recently been doing course selections at school, and I've done research and know which subjects are "hard" and "easy". The thing is, one of the teachers asked me what my choices are, and when I informed her of them, she said that I was 100% going to burn out, even when I emphasized that I had an interest in all of these classes and was already in the high 90s. In addition, my classmates have called this selection "crazy".
