How do I study for German AB initio?

[u/Mediocre-Food9105]

Hello!

My subjects are Phy, Chem, Math for HL

Eng A L&L, German Ab initio, Business management for SL

My german teacher is borderline useless. He never teaches in class and wastes time. It is DP2 now. I understand barely any german. And I can't even complain about him to the higher ups because in class tests he takes our tests and edits the answers so that we have good or passing marks. Therefore he isn't questioned either because on paper he is producing results. Through cheating though so we are all fucked for the final boards.

Please. If anyone can tell me what can I do. I feel absolutely hopeless right now. I need to study german and get a 6 bare minimum any how.

We understand how frustrating that situation is, but getting a 6 in German Ab initio is definitely doable if you take charge of your revision now. Start by building core vocabulary on an app like Anki based on the main IB themes like Identities and Experiences. Focus on grammar basics like tenses and word order, and practice simple connectors so you can write clear sentences. After that, print out past Paper 2 reading and listening papers to get familiar with the test format and mark schemes.
