Are there any restrictions on the number of answer sheets handed in? I used 5 sheets for my math exam today, but my teacher removed the last one saying that max 4 are allowed (I don't get why they gave me the 5th in the first place). I don't know what is going on.

I am an IB student in Denmark and I am currently planning on applying to universities in Scotland and Ireland I want to know if Math studies is generally looked down upon, even if you are applying to the humanities/social sciences I am planning to apply to either English lit. or History courses at Edinburgh uni, St. Andrews uni, University of Glasgow, University of Dundee, Aberdeen uni and Trinity college Dublin Will universities prefer Math SL students even if they have a lower grade?? (it's likely that I will achieve a 7 in Math Studies) Thanks

Hey Guys! In paper 2 where we are allowed to used our calculator, what extent are we allowed to use it to find the answers? Like sometimes, the question will give us a velocity equation and ask us whats the acceleration at a certain point. Although I could differentiate it and do it manually, I could just graph the function and find the derivative at that point, skipping working entirely. So how much are we allowed to take advantage of this? Also, when we answer in the exam, are we only allowed to write until where the lines end, or where the box ends? usually there will be 6-7 lines, but the box extends to the ends of the page. Are we allowed to write until where the box ends? or where the line ends?

Hey Guys! Most of the other specimen papers on this site deal with the G4 subjects, but none of them have specimen papers for Business. Could anyone share it with me if they have it?

I am doing my EE in economics and I have to conduct an survey. The EE is about Externality so i have to conduct a survey. Now i need help in deciding what kind of questions should i ask in my survey. Can you help me come up with some questions for the survey Thanks for the reply

We're starting our internal assessment now, and I think it's a kind of early as we haven't gone through all the topics yet. For my investigating I picked a question linked to Research and Development ( as it was the only one, I could think about), however we haven't really studied it yet. My question is How a company can organise Research and Development to improve the efficiency of the business, to stay competitive... any advice on what I should include for this essay? And how can I actually start the essay with a good theoretical framework?

Hey guys, would someone please help me out in solving this math problem?

Hey guys, I'll be taking my HL Math exams this upcoming week, and i'm pretty sure I won't be getting my IB diploma because of it. I can breeze through all my other exams. By the way, I have four HLs, which means they're are different requirements if I get a 2 or 3 in an HL. I've been doing some practice with past papers, but if you have any tips/suggestions on how to pass please comment below. Thanks!

Hi everyone. My IB coordinator told me that the 150 hours requirement for CAS is gone from now on. If so, then what is the prerequisite for passing (or failing)?

Hi everyone:) How did you'll find psych paper 1? In TZ2 here, my friends mostly found it easy but I found the 22 mark answers tough!!

Hey guys! So I know there was a discussion started on this exam but that was in the general forum and I just thought that us psychology students should also have a place on this exam discussion forum! Overall the paper wasn't too bad, but I think i messed up a few dates here and there. The only trouble I had for section A was the stereotypes one. What did you guys write for that?? And for my essay I chose the: "Evaluate one model/theory of one cognitive process" - overall I feel this went alright but I'm scared that perhaps 2 studies were not enough?

Hey!! I have to write an essay on the question: "Ethical judgements limit the methods available in the production of knowledge in both the arts and the natural science" Could you help me with ideas for a 1. Knowledge question 2. Knowledge claim 3. Few AOK Claims Thanks

Hey guys, So how did everyone find it? What options did you all do? I think this might've been the better of the three papers, but the marks that they assigned for some questions were confusing I did Option E and Option H.

Math IA Hello, I will be doing my IA to find the relationship between GDP and obesity. How can i collect my data for that? So far i have collected obesity and GDP of 7 countries but the math processing seems unknown to me. Please help me with the processing

So I've chosen title 2 -“There are only two ways in which humankind can produce knowledge: through passive observation or through active experiment.†To what extent do you agree with this statement? I'm having trouble finding examples. I know this focusses mostly on the natural and human sciences, but can someone help me with examples of these in the Arts - especially Literature? The examples from the Natural Sciences are going over my head. I'm thinking of Economics and Psychology for the Human sciences. Would really appreciate the help.

Hello IBers, I was wondering if anyone of you guys would be willing to review and provide feedback on my tok essay. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello friends, We, IB students, would like to share a video with you recoreded this week! It's called 'Draw my CAS', which is a creative parody of 'Draw my life' videos. You will have fun for sure watching it! Watch 'Draw my CAS' now at http://youtu.be/MIFSbkl2TEE It is a video that will make you laugh for sure, as we believe you might need to have some fun while taking the IB too! The video is aimed to be watched by Spanish and South American IB students since it is recorded in Spanish.

Hey guys, So, my exams were in May 2014 and I did pass but my grade in Biology is 3. I only needed 2 more points to score a 4, therefore I paid the IBO to remark the exams and guess what? no change in grades!!! so I decided to retake the exam in the upcoming november exams 2014. My teacher and I were confused about my grade! Anyways, I want to ask you is it possible to get a 5-6 or maybe 7 in Biology if my IAs are 5 ? I also heard some rumours that the november session is much harder than the one in may, is it true? If so, would the IB change their grade boundaries? I wish you a warm evening Mostafa,

How did everyone feel? I LOVED it. I answered the question in TZ2 on light and sound in drama, on Williams' 'Streetcar' and Fugard's 'Master Harold', and it was a gift from god. I got to use all the knowledge about themes I had, along with that on scenic metaphor and dramatic techniques and styles in the two plays. The essay practically wrote itself, and it helped that I drafted an essay plan for virtually the same question last week! I feel a lot better about English after what I thought was a shaky Paper 1 now. For everyone reading this in later years but without access to our exam papers, the questions in the Drama section (for both HL and SL) were roughly 'discuss the importance of minor characters', 'discuss the use of characters breaking the fourth wall', and 'discuss the use of light and sound'.

Hello fellow IBers, I have recently finished my EE on mathematics and wondered whether anyone of you guys would like to read over it and provide me some feedback. My essay is about the Apollonius' problem in which one is to construct a circle tangent to three other circles. Help would be much appreciated.
