Since I cannot see any other topics for this subject, I thought I'll start one. How was your French AB Initio Paper 1? For me it was good, although I am a little doubtful about my answers to a few questions.

What did you guys think of it? I can't believe during the exam I couldn't figure out how to do the question where you had to prove using the mean value theorem that (b-a)/b<lnb/a<(b-a)/a. I spent a ton of time trying to do that finding a c such that c is between those two constants, but just could not get c to be lnb/a.

Hi, I made a mistake completing the cover sheet of Biology HL paper 2. There was two columns: on the first I was supposed to write the section (A or B), and on the second the number of the question I answered. I insted wrote the numer of the question on the first column, and the "subquestions" (1a, 1b, etc) on the second one. When I realised my mistake I wrote on the left side the corresponding sections (A and B). So my cover sheet is understandable, but I'm afraid of the possibility that a computer is going to scan my cover sheet and isn't going to detect anything and my exam will not be corrected. Could something like that happen? Should i worry about it?

I hope this doesn't account for a violation of the 24 hr rule. I'm not even referring to this examination in particular. I just mean P2 in general. Is it hard to attain 25 marks? Would two slightly below average tests score enough? Like, without contrasting lots of view, using just about enough examples, and being a little vague and disorganized here and there?

How did you guys find the papers?? I'm in England and I think we got TZ2. Honestly, I thought paper 1 was ok, but paper 2 was in my opinion horrible. There were around 10 questions that I couldn't answer and had to guess. Plus, the phrasing really put me off. There was a question about the mechanism of the alcohol in the benzene (sn1 or sn2), but the phrasing was totally off like it was about something else.

Hi everyone how did you feel about paper 2 and paper 3 for psychology HL? I think that there were great questions for paper 2, but paper 3 was a bit weird It wasn't difficult just weirdly formated questions. But overall psychology was really good this year I think.

So how'd it go? I did TZ2 and I found it to be much easier than P1. Hoping for a 5 or maybe a low 6 on this. (PS. Math isn't my strongest suit at all, but I really need a 5 overall for my university offer!)

I felt overconfident about today's test, but in the end I think I will not do so well in P1 because the bulk of the exam were topics I overlooked / had no time to study in detail. I am looking at some 35/120 marks, which is markband 3. My exploration falls within mark 6. I am very good in calculus and I have one week to study very well so I may think about a 7. P2, should bad luck not befall be again with weird topics, let's say a 6. Also, in these conditions, would a 7 in P2 be of particular hope? Is a 6 or at least a 5 still within my horizon?

Anyone have thoughts on the Spanish B HL paper 1 exam? I thought it went pretty well, Text E was the hardest for me (especially with that last matching section) but overall it seemed a little easier than the exams of previous years that I had taken. I'm in TZ1, although I don't think there were time zones for this exam.

I think sources that were presented in the paper were pretty straightforward. I failed to manage my time efficiently, so I only had 20 minutes to write the last question and felt like I could have done so much better. I really knew a lot about this topic, but I just panicked and didn't put much of my own knowledge. Question: For question 1. (a) which asked What were the problems that negotiators faced? what did you guys answer? I wrote: A: Austria-Hungary was already splitted into different countries even before the Treaties had started B: There are lot of ethnic groups living in central Europe, so dividing boarders based on self-determination would be a…

Hey guys, How did you find paper 3? For me section A was as expected from the specimen, but I still am not satisfied with my answers... and section B had a few question I didn't expect, but managed to improvise an answer that seems ok. All in all, it was as expected. I did option D, I think the one about explaining the mean residence time in relation to the proportion of digestible matter was strange, as I didn't know what to write for 3 points or whatever the number of points was. I think the long answer question about liver was strange as it said outline so again i was unsure of how detailed it should be and ended up writing everything I know about liv…
