is it true that IB becomes a huge competition that breaks friendships? because im starting to feel like everyone just looks out for themselves ... you dont know whos your friend and whos trying to 'screw you up' ? how do u know who to trust ?

This is an interesting question! Yes there is a lot of competition, and of course there’s always those couple students who try to mess with you. However, from our experience, we found some of our best friends through the little everyday struggles. Yes, on one hand everyone looks out for themselves, but that’s needed. You need to be independent in the program. And through this, you see everyone’s true colours. So on the other hand, you are going to find that you don’t get along with some, but you’ll definitely find people similar to you. In terms of knowing who to trust, go with your gut, but always remember that you need to be an independent individual. 

Hey (: Im in the MYP program, ill be doing the actual IB program starting next year ... Im getting fairly okay marks now (80's and a few 90's), but I was just wondering if the actual IB program in grade 11 & 12 'bell curves' your marks? If they do, how much do they boot it by, because the uni program i wanted to get into requires 90%? By the way, awesome idea of creating this page ! :)

Yes they do! But it really depends on how the rest of your class does. They curve your marks so there’s at least one person who gets 100% (the student(s) doing the best in your class), and everyone else gets curved relative to the top student. Based on our experiences, we’ve seen the differences range from 2-8ish percent. Hope it helps, and good luck :)

IB exams are approaching!

Good luck to everyone! Study hard; after May you’ll be free for a while (it’s our last round of IB exams so we’ll be free for life!) More posts will be made after our IB exams are over (thanks everyone for their submissions, keep ‘em coming!), but we will occasionally check our inbox in between studying, so feel free to leave us any questions regarding IB exams, or advice for your fellow IBers :)

i'm in pre-ib but my marks are plummeting like no tomorrow. I am getting a 75 in math, 72 in french, 78 for english! Do you have any advices for me? :'( I am trying my best.. I understand everything.. but i get deducted a lot of marks because of my careless mistakes... please help me :(

Practice your stuff, especially for math and french! Work hard and I’m sure that you can get your mark boosted! As for English, it can be tricky, but spend more time on editing to find your careless errors than the writing itself. Same with math especially, make sure you check your work. Good luck!!

what are you girls thinking of doing in college? =)

Homa’s doing engineering, and I’m going into biological sciences :) 

Quick update!

Hi everyone! sorry for the lack of posts, this month has just been crazy for us. World Lit II as well as our chem portfolios are due next week. We will definitely post more often once those things are out of the way! :)

more vlogs!!!!

Our last one was a bit of a failure… maybe if we are suggested specific topics, we’ll consider doing another one :) 

You girls are awesome.

Thanks hun :) You’re awesome too <3

ATTENTION, WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Hello everyone, we know this is different from what we normally post but we were wondering if you could take literally 5 seconds of your time to help out a fellow IB girl! 

so basically, quickwittedwren is doing a assignment for Math IB (oh yeah fun times) and she needs at least 100 participants for a survey,

All you have to do is check out this survey, and reblog it with your answers,  http://quickwittedwren.tumblr.com/post/15533450851/survey-for-math-studies-ia-please-answer 

She needs all the help she can get, we hope many of you choose to help!

Thanks so much!
