yes definitely planning on doing one! if you have any specific questions feel free to message me on tiktok @ jq4ss

for my main subjects i did a similar method as in this video where i allocated a few topics per day, working through the harder ones first - i didn't have a specific daily timetable but i would track all of my study time for motivation. good luck with your exams!

i have a full video on ib math advice up on my channel!

I made a full video recently on whether I think IB is worth it, but it comes down to whether you feel you’ll benefit more from doing IB than not (esp looking ahead to uni applications) - it is definitely a challenge and can get overwhelming sometimes but as long as you have a good support system & manage your time decently well it’s totally doable :)

@@jq4-s Thank you, for my school we have to apply in 8th grade and it’s stressing me out because IB is only during junior and senior year. I’m like what will I be like by then I’m not going to be the exact same, we all evolve and I don’t know where I’ll be.

it depends on the school bc everything except for the finals is internal - typically the big exams would be at the end of y1, mock exams before the finals in y2, and then the actual finals. I had unit tests for most subjects, some also had end of term tests. but anything apart from the finals & IAs is pretty much just going towards your predicted grades + school report card

@@jq4-s are the school exams format similar to the ib final exams?

yeah it can be difficult! if you’re with a company I believe some of them give access to past papers for the tutors

hi! you could look into scholarships which some unis do, or student loan is another option

@@jq4-s 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

thank you! i always paid contactless, not sure if they take coins actually

I definitely agree that building that mindset is really important! I’ve found that especially at the beginning it’s so easy to get caught up on wanting a 7 on everything and overly stressing when the number itself doesn’t matter as much as the way you approach academics - so ofc putting in effort is important, but not to the point of being stressed about grades already at the start of ib

hii i’d say beyond the obvious stuff, the essentials are a good quality mattress topper, storage, a laundry basket, bath mats, and clothing hangers. any photos/decor from home, a lamp, and room spray can also be nice! tbh you can buy most stuff either at birmingham/coventry, or get it for cheap from campus second-hand sales

hii i did a full video on predicted grades a while back :) how much they differ from final grades is entirely dependent on your school and how accurate/fair your teachers predict, as well as how much effort you put in to improve your grades between then. if you’re not happy with them you could discuss with your teachers if they’re willing to bump it up (esp if you can’t apply to a certain uni bc of it) - other than that it’s really just focusing on improving by finals!

thank you!

yeahh for this reason I do think a-levels could be better suited to uk unis - for uni applications which SL subjects you take don’t really matter (depending on the course ofc) but doing well in them boosts your overall score. content-wise it's unlikely you'll use all 6 subjects at uni (especially SLs), though you could argue it helps you develop better time management/soft skills than taking only 3 subjects

i’m doing a joint degree in bsc econ, psych and philosophy - so in terms of actual subject content I found IB math, econ, and business to be helpful. for skills i think IB bio and english literature also helped with things like learning scientific processes for psych & writing skills for philo - so everything does link together! spanish is really the only IB subject I haven’t used lol

aww thank you!! good luck ☺️

hii unfortunately i have no idea where it is, it's been like 3 years since i made it🥲 in any case most of it would be outdated by now

mine was as well! i just rushed it in november which was not a great idea😭

ppe

i do epp - economics, psychology & philosophy!

yes will do! if you're an international student you can look into the warwick global excellence scholarship

hi

😟😟

miss youuu😭🥹

thank you, i'm so happy to hear that!

currently planning a full video on econ advice which should be out in the next few weeks!

sameeee. im starting my year 2 in 3 weeks. good luck!

ahh good luck!!

good luck with ib!!

yes i can definitely do a video about my uni applications! unfortunately i didn't apply to the US so i can't help much with that, sorry

ahh good luck!! just remember that no matter what happens you’ve worked super hard to finish the ib, and your score really doesn’t matter later on ahah

if you have really good teachers then yes, you probably won’t need many resources, but chances are there will be at least one subject where what your teacher provides just isn’t enough - also you’ll need more than just teachers’ lessons when it comes to revision for final exams

for spanish i found immersion to be super important - i watched 200+ hours of spanish movies + tv shows (always spanish subtitles, sometimes spanish audio too) which helped so much with vocab, understanding fast speech, speaking naturally etc, and it’s super fun hehe for math i’d suggest revision village, getting a tutor + consistent practice above anything - i have a full video on ib math up on my channel :)

glad to hear that! :)
