swedishgäri Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Hello, I also had troubles in the beginning of IB, but since I changed my Math SL to studies it has been so much easier to cope with everything. Another way is if you change your levels in general, for example maybe have English HL and Economics SL. Try to balance your best and worst subjects in a working HL and SL way. For studying in general, try to rehearse everything you've done during the day after school and take good notes by hand. Wish you great luck Edited February 8, 2017 by swedishgäri 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginger_and_Spice Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Ive been in the IB for two years now, and I almost failed my classes last semester, so I know where you are coming from. You just need to make sure that you prioritise everything correctly, and manage your time wisely. Learn how you learn best, and how you focus best. Another thing you can do is take 30 minutes at night and meditate. It will really calm you down and help you concentrate. I also know that it can be difficult to ask for help, so set up meetings with each of your teachers, and have a discussion about where you are struggling, and ask them for advice on how they would suggest you deal with the workload. Just remember to breathe, it'll all be okay! 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if you are unsure about something, ask your teachers! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
