Darta Jenn Bush Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Economics requires good knowledge of the language, but nothing is impossible. I'd advise you to just spend extra time on your language skills and you should be fine, most subjects don't require you to have advanced English skills.

Guest Maitri Fischer Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Ah ... You'll be fine! I remember a classmate of mine that was Russian and had the same level of English as your certificate, he managed just fine. You will have to put in work into growing your vocabulary, but the command of the English language is only a grading criteria in English class. Anyway you;ll grow into it if you are surrounded by the English language. best of luck Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackcurrant Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) To prepare for your DP, at this stage: Get plenty of sleep, eat well, have fun. Enjoy your summer. ..while you can. Work hard when you are actually in the IB, rather than depleting them now on practice that may have little consequence later. You'll need to learn where to channel your energies once you have grasped the curriculum requirements, which is best done when you have been thrown in.That's the best prep. advice I can give right now.See Gaby's thread in another pre-IB forum. She says it all. Edited August 13, 2013 by Blackcurrant Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
