IB German Higher Level Syllabus

I'm studying IB german HL atm and I've got my exams ridiculously soon. I was wondering if anyone knew of any websites that give the German HL syllabus, or if there even is one.

Having done past papers I have found that I usually lose marks because I don't know subject specific vocab (e.g. one paper I did was talking about knife crime rates in a German city centre and what is being done about it). So it would be good to be given some sort of idea about the topics which could come up to get some good vocab learnt before hand.

cheers

Hey! So I'm doing german HL as well, and I've found that the book "wort für wort" has been very helpful in learning subject vocab, but if you don't have a copy of a subject vocabulary book, what I suggest doing is printing lots of past papers out (even GCSE and A-level ones are helpful) and highlighting the words to look them up later. I use www.dict.cc , which I find to be the BEST dictionary on the web. I'm sorry there's no quick fix. Also, you probably want to brush up on your grammar, I've found I've forgotten how to conjugate simple verbs as my german has progressed!!

Good luck!!!
