Yes ITGS HL for me :frown:
So scared. What are you revising and where are you revising from may I know? My school hasn't provided ANY Books or resources for revision and seeing as though its my HL I need to do well. Very scared!


I'm studying from Stuart Gray's textbook "Information Technology in a Global Society" and "Digital planet tomorrow's technology and you" by George Beekman.
We only got one textbook (which was horrible) so I had to borrow the Stuart Grey one which is a lot better - I didn't get a lot of resources either :-/

I found as if this was a good resource to study from as well: http://www.braindrill.net/wsMohan/e_list.asp?elf=DP_ITGS

How's the revision going for you? I'm horribly scared :s-smilie: Do you know if the examiners mark very harsh?

Thank you soo much! (We didn't get ANY books so consider yourselves lukcy ahah) I'll look up online versions of those books. I, too, am verryy frightened and to make things worse I'm sure you know, its common knowledge that the world average for is a 4. There was only ONE 7 in 12 years and few 6s - or so I've been told.

So you get the picture, ITGS is graded harsh. Revision is VERY poor - meaning I haven't started it. Its cause i have french and ITGS on the same day and ES&S the next exact day - I practically have no time to breathe.
Don't know when i'll start revision:frown:

Hows your revision
Any predictions for Psych Paper 2? I'm doing Developmental and Abnormal

I do Dev and Abn too! I have a feeling that reliability and/or validity of diagnosis will come up...
Any ideas?

Oh no! That must be awful!! Wow - that's actually insane! One 7 in 12 years!! :O

I'm only in my first year of IB and at my school SL ITGS is a one year course so I don't have any other exams to worry about - so revision for me is going pretty well.

I found this website pretty helpful too: http://www.itgsnews.com/category/revision/

The paper wasn't hard it was just the night before the exam i blanked out and kind of thought i forgot everything so i was freaking out and then the next day the paper seemed quite easy and i got all the theory and definitions and basic stuff right I just kind of messed up most of the equations and some calculations. I just hope my good ia can pull me up to a 6
Psych HL peeps in TZ 2? For paper 2, do you think it'll be fine if i do 2/4 sections in each option cause theres sooo much and our teacher hasnt done anythign for paper 2 so we dont even have notes :frown: We're doing abnormal and health So i was wondering if just stress and Health Promotions would be enough and for Abnormal, Concepts and Diagnosis and Physiological Disorders would be enough?

This is incorrect. IBO awards level 7s every year, though only a handful receive this grade for ITGS.

You can check out the stats from each years examination session to see how many people were allocated each grade, here is the link to find the stats from the may 2015 session http://www.ibo.org/contentassets/bc850970f4e54b87828f83c7976a4db6/dp-2015-may-stats-bulletin.pdf
