Getting A 45 Grade In The IB Diploma

[@JoaquinRevello]

I realized I made a small mistake in this video. When I mistakenly said "I spent one hour a week on entertainment" I meant to say that I spent one day every week on entertainment. I used to do competitive freestyle skiing back in middle school and every Sunday (as well as the bulk of Saturday afternoon and evening) throughout the IB program, I went skiing with my friends and family. The point is that I want to dispel the myth that you need to sell your soul to get a 45 in the IB. Stay Productive, J

I’m not even going for a 45, I just wanna pass. I got a 3 on my IB sports exam because I completely bombed paper 2. My teacher gave us the wrong instructions so I did awful. I am a senior right now and I’m very nervous I won’t get a 24, but I believe I can do it. I am so excited to graduate, and this video helped me so much. Thank you.

[@jonnybalfeegoo4635]

[@ponferada]

This is THE best video out there. A lot of this seems like common sense, but nobody applies it. It makes so much sense. Im in 10th, stressing about boards, but this gives me hope. I've never been one to follow quotes, but finding the right ones really makes a difference. Thought that balancing out my fitness would be really hard since I just started. Extremely helpful, thanks

[@JoaquinRevello]

Excellent, I love to hear that. Have a great day

[@ponferada]

@@JoaquinRevello I also had a question. You did mention that for maths and basically everything else u did past papers. I know that works and it is backed up by science, but when I start word problems then my mind goes blank. I can solve equations and what not but when it comes to Word problems, I don't understand what to apply and how to apply those. So I can't even start. Do u have any tips? What did u do?

[@sulkel]

​@@ponferadatry to view the word problem as regular math. For example, if I say the number two plus the variable x equals to the number four, you will immediately realize x equals to two. What your brain actually did was convert what I said into '2+x=4' which means x=2 if you move the two to the other side. Try doing this with more complex problems over and over (it's an unsexy answer but deliberate practice will get you far) and you'll be fine in no time

[@ponferada]

@@sulkel Yeah thats the problem. I have done simple problems and casn do them, but the complex ones still get me. Even if it only slightly more difficult

[@ponferada]

@@sulkel Oh nevermind, I just realized my improvement in maths (I was doing my holiday homework and it's filled with Word problems) It's very slight, but it is there. Thanks!

[@botnfs4640]

I'm not in the IB program but I've foudn that these tips definetly apply for any type of class in high school; IB is definetly more rigorous but that also means if I use these tips then it'll be that much more easier so I can have more free time for ECs and whatnot.

[@adi_rl]

Hey Joaquin, I’m in grade 10 wanting to pursue the same Jerome and Fischer program and also going to take IBDP in grade 11 and 12. Although I’m confused on many things, such as what subjects I should take, and how much time I need to allocate towards each of my subjects so that I have enough time for my passion, Soccer. Would it be possible to connect through any way if you’re free to help?

[@dicemitvourede]

Hi Joaquin, I just finished IB1 and I'm on the start of my summer break. I received a 36 in my mock exams. I'm really determined to score a 43 at least next year. If I put in the work and use your advice, do you believe achieving this score by the end of IB2 is possible? Thank you for the great content!

[@3n3j0t4]

probably not cause people who get 43+ get like 39 on their predicted

[@ponferada]

Ignore the reply above. I think if you work extra hard and follow this video, you can possibly get a 42 at least. It will be hard, and it is a marathon, not a sprint.

i'm suffering through the worst time of mine, i really don't know hat to do, can you please make a video on, how to cope which a horrible mental state during ib? because ib is mind shattering and awful, i really hate ib with the core of my heart

[@JoaquinRevello]

I'm sorry to hear that. I know it sucks and I understand how awful that must be for you. I remember going through the IB at the beginning and feeling completely lost. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I'll be making a video for you shortly addressing this topic. In the meantime, what helped me cope the most with this was doing as many practice problems as possible. I know it's a more annoying solution (rather than some quick fix) but it really helped as it helped me build certainty in my ability to execute. Let me know how else I can help

[@KirthanaGOPINATHA]

[@deardemuredawn...5548]

Taking notes and to the first point I say: it's like doing math. Unless you have the problem solving mindset engrained in your brain you won't get every problem right. That's why they say practice, to become a better problem solver👀

[@PistolPet]

Hello! Just a quick question: How can you guarantee good marks on a subjective exam? English for example is entirely subjective, as is history, and almost all IA's too. There is a criteria to follow of course but everyone marks it differently. I got 30/40 on a trial oral I did last week and that mark was subjective by the teacher. Other people I practised my oral with marked it significantly higher.

[@JoaquinRevello]

Thank you for your question. Remember that the IB is designed to be as least subjective as possible (similar to how the SAT reading is actually very objective) or else it would lose it's value as a standardized test. With this mind, squeeze as much actionable info from the rubric (based on your response) and then ask your English teacher objectively why there was a discrepency in the two scores. Also remember that the final AI and Exams will be standardized as teachers from around the globe will be marking the exams. Hope that helps!

Hey man, you are a really inspiring person and I got accepted in the IB program and I just have a question for you: so how do you balance your time out because I want to have some free time even with the exessive work, for example I love to play Fifa, so how can I balance out between working and playing my game? Also, will gaming affect my studies?

[@bensnyder9262]

Hello Joaquin! My school schedules one SL IB exam for our Grade 11 year, and due to our class having less time than grade 12 classes to process content, our class was underprepared and I feel as though I didn't perform up to my expectations. However, I feel as though I learned a lot about myself and how I reacted to the exam environment, and am trying to redirect my own negative thoughts towards positive reflection. Do you have any advice for mentally resetting myself to ideally nail 7s for my 5 exams in Grade 12 next year?

[@JoaquinRevello]

Hey Ben, thank you for your comment. What you are talking about is a change in identity. You are slowly changing your identity away from an underprepared, lower achieving student and into a high achieving student. In order to create any type of identity change you need to create sufficient action to reinforce your identity. So I suggest the following: 1) Write out what a high achieving student would do (e.g. study consistently, score well on practice tests, etc.) and slowly begin doing those things. 2) Pick someone you admire who embodies some of those high achiever tendancies (e.g. Elon Musk for me) and ask yourself what they would do in these study/productivity situations. How would this think? By alligning yourself with that ideal you are slowly attaching your identity to the type of person you want to become

[@bensnyder9262]

Hi Joaquin, I will start IB in 2 months and I want to use my vacations to become a more disciplined person. But I really don’t know what to do besides working on my procrastination habits. Do you have more advices or suggestions to become that good IB student in these 2 months?

[@JoaquinRevello]

Great question. The short answer: I will be releasing a video on this exact topic shortly. Long answer, in order for you to become "a more disciplined person," you need to take action that props up that identity. I suggest picking a simple habit (e.g. do 5 minutes of math) and staying disciplined with that one habit for the entire summer. Doing that will give you concrete evidence that will support the identity (that you are a disciplined person) that you want to hold. To become the IB student, I would begin doing all the tasks that you'll have to eventually do during your IB year (e.g. start working on your extra co-curriculars for university apps) so that you don't bogged down with work when you should be studying for the IB. Hope that helps
