Hello everyone! I'm taking the Cultural Anthropology Standard Level course, and I've been doing the Paper 1 & 2 exam practice. But the score is not that good... So I'm just curious on what I should do to get a good score on both my paper 1 and 2, also will the IB give the score not far from the teacher's predicted grade? Thank you! )))

So, I'm taking Economics and it's the worst subject that I have ever seen in my life. I want to quit it but the closest time that I can quit is next year because I'm halfway done with IB1. I am good at grasping stuff about technology and I have common sense so do you guys think that I can study the IB1 syllabus of ITGS during the summer and transfer at ITGS at IB2? Because I really want to quit economics

Hello! I am doing CS SL and have my examinations in May 2014. So far we have done with our teacher boolean algebra, numeral systems, web design and a very tiny bit of programic. As my finals are in 6 months time I have a very bad feeling that I will not pass. He says that there are not enough resources to teach us as the CS programme has been completely changed this year. My question is therefore to people who are having computer science. From what have you been learning? Do you have any recommendations? What should we concentrate on? I guess I somehow have to teach myself the core outside school... I know it is really late but any advice/link/ book title would be apprec…

I'm doing a case study on gender equity right now, where I have to compare one MEDC and one LEDC, and I was wondering whether or not anyone knew whether I have to introduce both countries as well as the theme of gender equity, or just introduce the theme of gender equity and leave it at that. Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, I have some problems with my geography IA. The research question of my fieldwork report is: Does the quality of public transport matter on the amount of traffic jams in the downtown of Szczecin? I colected the data by preparing a questionnaire, in which, first of all, I asked people about their sex, age group, place of living, number of people at home. Then I went into frequency of usage of public transportation, their most frequently used mean of transport (private car, bus, tram), assessment of public transport, its pros and cons, proposals of changes (all questions are closed questions with prepared answers). Then I asked about 3 most often travelled li…

Is it possible to study Geography HL by myself out of school as my school does not offer it? I know it will mean a heavier workload but I'm looking at a field like Sustainable Development and Urban Planning for university studies, and I believe that Geography will give me a really good foundation for that. I checked out the syllabus as well, and it would be amazing if I could take the subject as it looks like something that I would be very interested in Currently, the subjects I have chosen are: Maths SL English A HL Economics HL Biology HL Psychology SL Spanish ab initio SL

Dear IB Students, I am an IB 1 student who was recently called down by my Guidance counselor, and told that I could NOT take ITGS as my group 3 and would be forced to take either IB History or Geo (the only other group 3 courses my school offers) because I did not have the so-called prerequisite for the course. I know several of my other friends and collegues have also been denied for the exact same reason. However, the official IB website, ibo.org , states that there is "no particular background in terms of specific subjects for national or international qualifications is expected or required, and no prior knowledge of ITGS is necessary for students" although famili…

Hello everybody I'm doing my geography IA in urban environments - the topic is "What is the impact of Warsaw agglomeration on [my town] in terms of availability and structure of goods and services?". As my methods, I have a land use survey and a questionnaire survey, and I have a few doubts . About land use survey - I' m going to take into account only commercial uses of land (no public offices/residential areas etc.). The town is small, and my plan is to just go along all streets and record on a sheet of paper what I see I have 16 types of shops/services, and I'm wondering what kind of map should I use. Print screen Google Maps map and print it, and then mark what I re…

Let's talk about the World Religions internal assessment! Yay! I've received my assessment to start over the summer and as I am feeling sick with nothing to do I might as well start it. I have no idea where to start though,; not even the religion I'd like to study in. So I started this because I didn't see another topic like this; however if there is one please had me in the right direction as I'd like help with my IA. What was your WR IA topic? Or are you in the same place I am? How did you come about picking something to investigate? I'd love to hear all about it -Katie

Hi there, I'm trying to make an Application for Kindergarten to 1st (Maybe 2nd) Grade students on the Android Systems. It mainly deals with basic counting, reading, sentence formation and nursery rhymes which the parents can give the child when he has the phone. I've interviewed the teachers of the PYP Section (My Clients) about their preferences in the app I'm pretty sure it covers all the bases of the ITGS IA (Client, Original Software). I still have doubts about this, I don't know why, the teacher said it was pretty original and good, but somehow I have this nagging feeling. Anyone think something is missing here?

Hi everyone, I am thinking about a topic for my Extended Essay in geography and at the same time working on my fieldwork (being also at the stage of specifying topic and methods). I feel a bit confused about the differences between IA and EE. Obviously, they differ in length and character; fieldwork is told to be just "fieldwork report" while EE is suposed to be more discursive. But... What does that mean in practice? They're both analytical, based on research and primary data. I'd really appreciate some explanation

Hello everybody I am doing Geography at HL and I have to start planning my fieldwork (and finish it quite soon). As I have been absent from school since 3 months because of health problems, I'm forced to think it up and collect data on my own I really love geography and would like to do something of value, but I'm struggling to find an appropriate topic I'd prefer to avoid anything connected with big cities (that doesn't feel like my cup of tea). I live near a river - but I believe it would be extremely difficult to collect data by myself, with no special equipment (I suppose my school doesn't have it). The same with soil degradation (there's plenty of farmland nearb…

Hi guys, so I'm starting the IB next year, and I'm having trouble choosing my subjects (kinda.) Ok, so so far I have: HL English Lit HL French Lang and Lit HL History SL Chem SL Maths and I want to take a second social sience. However, is till don't know which school I'm going to. I would be able to take Geography HL at one of them, but not at te other. If I end up attending the second one, I would have to either take Economics which is NOT going to happend, OR take an online course. In that case, would you recommend taking Philosophy, Psychology or Geography? Which would be the best in terms of difficulty? I feel like a class such as Philosophy would be better if there…

So, my school just began letting us choose our elective class for senior year since Psychology SL is a one year course and I learned that my school will begin teaching Philosophy SL next year and was wondering, how is the class? Is it closely related to Theory of Knowledge? Is the exam or course hard with Philosophy as a subject being a bit more abstract (at least that's how I see it)?

On the back of a few Georgraphy questions lately, I've decided to ask one of my own. I recently started geography, which is going well. I find it fairly easy, except I dont know many case studies for it. Which leads me onto my question, how important are they? I.e. will we need one for each syllabus dot point, more than that, or just one for every topic.Should they be mostly background (words and social conditions explaining it) with a few statistics or mostly statistics with a few explaining words.Should the statistics be raw numbers be raw quantities or can they be relative? e.g. is it better to say thet the aboriginal unemplorment rate is twice the non-indigenous rate …

Our teacher just showed us the generic questions for the paper and informed us that we will be analysing an unseen article related to one of the 6 areas of impact ( health, business, home and leisure, politics and government, science and environment and education) But some of the articles contain technical knowledge that we haven't been taught for example: QR codes. Can anyone give me a brief list of the basic technical stuff we need to have a good grasp of?
