The Official Summer 2011 IB Exams Discussion Thread

did anyone think they did part c of question 10 in the maths SL TZ2 paper 2 correctly? the one with the trapezium window and having to find values of theta.

for the final question on maths SL P2 , where u had to find the possible values for x, did anyone leave their answer in range for like 2<x<3 for example? or an exact value?

What did people think of the SL/HL Geog. exam? And I mean yesterday's paper 1 exam, before anyone gets their knickers in a knot and thinks I'm talking about today's paper 2 and in doing so violating the sacred 24 hr rule.

Okay could anyone give me ideas on how I should study for paper 2 Higher english? I am concentrating on Light and dark themes,love,power, beginning and ending of the books and narrative techniques so far..... further info On what I should be linking and preparing for the exam?

ME!

There goes the Maths P1 (TZ2) discussion embargo! What did people think? I'd done quite a lot of past papers, and I personally thought that section B was the hardest I've seen. I did not see that last question about the ferris wheel coming - one of those sneaky things they hide in the corner of the syllabus!

the things that seem to come up quite often:

- universal ideas (love, friendship, ideology, beliefs, etc. etc.)
- individuals vs. society
- ambiguity
- irony
- the influence of the past on the present (that can be answered with your narrative techniques like flashbacks, dreams, diaries)
- private life vs. public life

good luck (:

Thanks, are you doing the exam too? I wondered what books your were doing?

Yep! The God of Small Things, 1984, The Quiet American and A Hero of Our Time (but I hated this one and I'm not studying it). What about you? (:

Oh and by the way, I didn't mention that the things I listed were from past papers, not from the books. Just clearing that up (:

i thought the answer boxes were ridiculous. i had to continue half of my answers seperately.

but meh. two of the questions were from the specimen paper. it was easy.

hi guys, i just wanted to ask a quick question. i made a silly mistake on my hl math paper (amongst many others), but this one involved not answering each new question on a separate page like they requested. i'm hoping that this isn't an atrocious mistake that'll destroy my entire section B. does anyone know if they'll take this into account when marking? or if it's because they mark section B questions separately? because then i'm really screwed.
