-*Ultimate IB Students Thread*-

As u all can see...i am a newbie... and i am struggling big time here in IB. So, your help is really appreciated....u know all those tips and links, they help!

So.. my 2nd year of IB has just begun, on Wednesday.

I am so stressed like you won't believe...
I have done nothing yet except my CAS hours..

What do you guys think about it?.. should i do something on this? or on Korean War?...-.-; i am so stressed...

Secondly, my History I.A... this is where i wanted to write about the Korean War, but now, i can't really find a proper topic that i can write much about. Can any of you help me with a topic?... please..

I am really stressed, i don't know if this is how it's supposed to be, but everytime i think about the November Exams, i think i won't be able to do well, and that i would never finish my course work... Help the poor soul...

Shot guys...

Cheers.

Hey..

Thanks for the reply..

for your question.. what was i doing the first year of my IB?

i don't really get it. as in why i'm not done with any work?

If that's the case, i don't know..

we werent told to start with them yet, plus i didn't study at all..
well, i did study, but i didnt have any reasons for studying.
Then, it was the last holidays, when i decided to start studying,
and now it's really hard..-.-;

I went away for 2 weeks with my friends to a place called st.francis bay and had so much fun, then i said to myself, that i had enough fun last few years and now maybe it's time to study...

i really need to get higher than 36. My IGCSE result is not too good. only have Bs and Cs... i'm not sure if Univs will count much on my predicted results...

still stressed... ^^..

you shouldn't be stressed! be glad for what you have done so far and i think that it is good that you have started to think about all those essays already. i wasn't told to start with the things you mentioned (WLA, IA, TOK etc.) in my first year either. and now with about a month before my revision starts i haven't had the final draft of all my essays yet. some essays you can't start with too early because you need to have done some studdying at school, but if i'm going to give you some advice, start with your extended. cause that is usually the essay you neglect and postpone in the end cause other essays has a bigger impact on your grade.

So.. my 2nd year of IB has just begun, on Wednesday.

Plus, to write a Extended Essay, do i have to have some kind of source of Books? or can i just use Internet Sites, Other people's reports and interviews?..

Cheers.

Hey..
Thanx a lot for the replies.

I was just wonderin, for EE, i've heard that it's better to have a topic related to your Higer Level subject. Is that correct? i know it will sound better as you would be having more depth information on a Higher Level Subject, but do you guys think it's still ok to do something which falls under Social Anthropology and which is happening locally, ie- Bushmen, than something which doesn't interest me but is under my Higher Level Subject?..

....Thanks for everything guys..

Have a nice day

I'm sure i can find something interesting under my Higher Level Subject, but i am really into this Bushmen stuff that i wanna write my EE on it. The thing is that we are the second group of my school that's writing IB and we have no information on this stuff and i was wondering how your seniors did on their EE. please share your knowledge.

Plus anyone doing History have extra I.A topics?..-.-; i cant find a real interesting topic that's capturing me..-.-;.. i'll work on that...

Thanks for everything guys..

I did my EE in biology of the causes of left-handedness on a sample group, it took me all summer, but it was worth it as its a subject I'm interested in, and know a lot about, but also because its a medical topic as well, ideal for applying to medicine!

How is everyone doing their TOK presentations? How did you find a topic?

How is everyone doing their TOK presentations? How did you find a topic?

My ToK presentation was a powerpoint. The teacher gave us a list of possible topics that we could do, though we didn't have to do them. I did it on whether history tells us the truth.

I did 'Problems of knoweldge encountered when examining religion and faith'...... and got 20/20

Good job Kildare The teacher hasn't given our grade yet, though she did give me a thumbs up after I finished it~!

Today is my English oral (the one where you pick a passage/poem out of an envelope) and I am so nervous that last night I jumped out of bed 6 times sweating and thinking I was going to be late for my oral......of those 3 dreams were of being late.......horrible......not a very nice way to start the morning :'( I still feel very, very stressed, although i've prepared very hard for it......

Oh well off to school wish me luck!!!! I need it!
