#73513 How to Prepare For IB?

Posted Sonneteer_Trombonist on Jul 22, 2010 - 19:03

I wouldn't worry too much about prepping for IB before you get there. I think it might just get you worried and worked up. Just try and think of it like a regular high school diploma program - most students would not worry about preparing for the eleventh grade.

Though I agree with the above posters, if you can start by getting into a sport or a volunteer activity or something creative, that might be something because even if you can't count the time spent in the summer for CAS hours, you can at least see if certain activities are worth pursuing during the school year.

You're going to be working hard over the next couple years, so I say enjoy your freedom!
And good luck to you in IB :(

See if you can start your CAS hours. At my school, we're allowed to start them the summer before IB1, but I'm guessing your activity would need to be approved first.

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm in summer school right now, and when that's over at the end of July, I'll be volunteering for a week at a pool. Then I have nothing to do pretty much, except swim, hang out with friends/family, and relax. :(

#66382 Regretting taking math HL

Posted aya91 on Apr 18, 2010 - 13:37

Well I used to be great at HL math, now I'm scraping by with a 2. And exams are very, very soon. My advice: don't do it!!! Unless you take four HLs. But if you're good at anything else, choose that as your HL, not math. MathHL will always be a mistake unless you really aren't very good at anything else...

#73415 HL Textbooks

I think your best bet to begin with is to email your new Maths teacher and ask what textbook they're going to be using next year. Then, if you're determined to do this, you can decide whether you want to get ahead via going over exactly the same material prior to lessons (i.e. buying that textbook... or if your school gives out the textbooks, borrowing it off them might be cheaper!) or whether you want to invest in something which will give you an alternative view of the same topic (deliberately buying a textbook different to what you'll be using, in other words). It depends what you think will suit your learning style better and whether you find seeing the same subject in different words useful or confusing :gluck:

Buy the Oxford one it´s my favourite one so far. The layout is really nice in comparison to the Cambridge one. If you want to get another one I suggest IBID. Anyway good luck. I like maths alot but I find it very hard.
