I watched this video 9 months ago, thinking I had no chance of getting anywhere near what you got. Regardless, I followed your advice completely and it payed off! I am now sitting on a comfortable 44 predicted with all 7s at my higher level subjects. Mani, u r a LEGEND.

[@ramanujanvenkatraman8540]

Hey man thats amazing to hear! I am starting IB in a few days. Can you please help me by perhaps sending a few notes or advice you might have? I am really stressing out here lmao. I take Econ hl, bs hl, math hl, eng sl, Spanish ab initio, and ess.

[@eliopalombi]

@@ramanujanvenkatraman8540 The IB is tough. No denying it. That first term in Upper Sixth is brutal because of so many IAs. However, I honestly think that with the right attitude, and the right subject choices for you, anyone can get an excellent grade (42+). The main thing I would say is that the curriculum and study program directly corresponds to what is going to be on tests and final exams, so as long as you pay attention during lessons and do homework’s to the best of your abilities, there is no reason why you shouldn’t do fantastic in every single exam. I cannot stress this enough, homeworks are SO important, they are the main source of evidence for your teachers to base your predicted grades (on top of exams) so it is crucial that you do them well and hand them in on time. However, it is inevitable that you will sometimes just not be able to do them for the due date, which is why it is so important to maintain good communication with your teachers. Another important thing is your approach to studying. What differentiates the IB from other programs is that memorisation alone will not take you far. What is important is genuinely understanding everything on the course, and if you don’t, at least note it down so you can catch up during holidays. Essentially, study smart, not hard. I honestly wouldn’t stress that much about the IB, as long as you stay on top of your workload and limit procrastination, you will genuinely cruise through your first year. Second year gets a bit tougher, but the main thing to remember is that even though you have IAs to do, it is important to keep up with studying for your course. I wish you the best of luck for your studies!

On reflection I have to say qualifications are not 'all that'. They're a stepping stone to your next exam. Only later will a qualification lead directly to employment. There are many ways into employment, so if you mess up at school or in your GCSE's all is not lost. I've learned more than anything else in life you have to be flexible in your approach and attitude. And yes, I know that's easier said than done.

[@ThisIsMani]

I totally agree with you, exams and qualification are not everything, and it's important that everyone understand that there are so many different routes that lead to careers. I was having this conversation with a friend the other day, who explained to me that rather than forcing up university application rates, we should be making sure that everyone knows the options available to them, before forcing them down the university pipeline, because it's no the be all and end all. Totally agree with you!
