Emmi Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hey Guys!I'm currently in the research phase of my EE. I'm doing it in chemistry... Would this be a good research topic: "What blend of ethanol and gasoline is the best to use in cars?"Please help...ThanksThis could be okay, but you need to have a good, viable experiment in order to do well. How are you planning on testing this? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procrastinator4Life Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I have a friend who is in IB and she failed one of her math classes with a 58. Is she even eligible to be in IB anymore? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This depends entirely on your school's policy regarding grades and if you are required to have a certain grade in classes to continue doing it. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibfederer Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 For English HL, what are part 1, part 2, part 3, and part 4 works? I find them very confusing. Like on a paper, it says "with regard to 2 part 3 works, write ....". 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElvenRanger Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Part I: Works in Translation (things like Fathers and Children, Sound of Waves, and Chronicle of a Death Foretold-all taken from IB's prescribed list) - things not originally written in your lang A that have been translated into your language Part II: Detailed Study (examining plot, literary devices, etc. of the 3 novels from this part) - you have to do the IOC (Individual Oral Commentary) on this. Part III: Literary Genres - do a comparative essay and examine how the genre influences certain aspects of each book (Paper 2 tests this) Part IV: Options - whatever your teacher wants. You do the IOP (Individual Oral Presentation) on these! Hope this helps good luck on your exams! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellie Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 When do you find out your exam results? And how do they predict your results? How can you take an exam after IB1, and do you still have the subject in IB2 then? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayla R Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Hi I am a 10th grader going into full IB diploma. I have my three SL's and two of my HL's next year (year 11). I was just wondering, since I technically only have one HL leftover to do my senior year, is it mandatory to still have a schedule loaded with IB, or can I just take my HL and a TOK my 12th year?

I was just wondering, since I technically only have one HL leftover to do my senior year, is it mandatory to still have a schedule loaded with IB, or can I just take my HL and a TOK my 12th year?This is a weird thing your school does. Why are you taking all of your SL exams and two of your HL exams after what I presume to be just one year of study? That sounds like a recipe for low grades on your school's part. How do you have time to learn a two year course in a year for five subjects? /confusedIf you already took five of your courses a year early, I suppose you don't have to load your schedule up with IB ones? Unless you wanted certificates, which are kind of pointless. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatislife Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Hi. OK. So I'm guessing you're asking with regards to maths?In general, the HL subjects are more work, as they require a lot more study time since there are a lot of new concepts that you don't come across.It all depends on YOU as the individual, if you don't mind memorising a tonne of information, I would recommend subjects such as biology, geography, history, etc. as your higher levels.However if you love working with numbers and mathematically related concepts, obviously try maths, or physics or chemistry.In terms of difference between hl and sl subject, English A1 is not too much of a difference, apart from extra reading and different mark boundaries and IOC (oral commentary) requirements.Personally, I would say mathematics and chemistry are difficult HL subjects.

From your subject choices it seems like you are interested in business so I suggest you to switch to Math SL. Then you could maybe get into something finance-related, otherwise it's not so possible (unless you choose a mediocre college, maybe). If you want to study Economics in the UK then you would even need Math HL so you may consider dropping B&M (it's considered a "soft" subject anyway). It really depends on where you want to study as every country has its own specific rules of admission.Also, with English Literature HL you wil most likely get into Law in the UK. Don't know how it is with other countries, though.Hope I helped. Edited August 27, 2014 by Sceptyczka 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering, are students expected to be independent learners and teach themselves the content? Bump This really depends on the subject and your school's policy but yes - the IB puts a great emphasis on students being able to study independently. You don't have to teach yourself the entire content as the teachers will also teach you something during the classes (obviously) but you will have to revise quite a lot during these two years (so not only in exam time!).Also, if you choose a subject like Math HL then you will be expected to devote a few hours every day solely on Math revision. guys i have a doubt ok my subjet choices are ECO- HLB&M-HLENGLISH-HLPHYSICS -SLFRENCH AB INITIOMATH STUDIES so what can be my carrer (the field i can go with this subjects ) Where do you want to study?

If so then I recommend to either apply to Law in the UK or check the entry requirements for business majors in the US. Admission counselors in the US don't put such a great emphasis on the subjects taken by a student so you may get into a finance-related major even with Math Studies. However, it would be good if you tried your best to get a 7 in Math Studies. Otherwise you may seem a weak applicant for anything finance-related.
