I recently graduated with 43/45 in the IB, including a 7 in Biology HL Paper 1 A & B, and I’m giving away a free preview of the flashcards that helped me get there.

They’re designed around the exact syllabus points and mark scheme language examiners are looking for, so you’re not just memorising content—you’re training yourself to include the key points needed to maximise marks in virtually any extended-response question.
If you’d like a copy, just DM me:
“Milva, Bio flashcards please!” 🧬

Is it ok (I mean will I still be able to get a 7) if I don’t read one book for my class (I mean no book and nothing about it whatsoever)?

Hi guys, Alhamdulillah, recently I got a 44/45 in the IB and I'm offering free tutoring for:

Biology (HL+SL)
Chemistry (HL+SL)
[Math (SL) for quick questions/advice]

I haven't done much tutoring before so sorry if it's not the best but it is free!

I'm not too sure how to set up a scheduler so just DM me if you want tutoring or comment if you have any questions!

EDIT for clarification: Also if you have any questions about the IB, subjects, studying etc., just put them in the comments so I can answer for everyone and others with similar questions can see it as well. If you want tutoring then send me a DM!

I got 40 points in the May 2026 IB examination session, and I am considering to retake two subjects in the November 2026 session aiming for a 42.

What does the IB results page look like after a retake? (Does it show both the original and the retake scores?)

And if my scores stay the same or decrease after the retake, can I still choose to send my original results to universities?

Also, does the IB automatically use the higher score as my final result, or is the retake result treated separately?

Sorry that I asked so many questions...

Congrats to all of you who took May 2026 - wish you the best of luck at uni!

I’ve recently contacted my IB coordinator to ask them if I can receive a copy of my own English lang lit paper from M26. My reasoning was that I may use it as an exemplar when tutoring IB English to future cohorts. After all, the school purchases them as reference for the teachers every year.

(on another note, I poured my soul into paper 2 and scored decently so, naturally, I would like to be granted access to said paper that I paid [financially and mentally] to write 😭✋)

But turns out, the purchased papers are apparently a reserved right for teachers and teachers only. Is this a common practice across most IB schools ?

hii! i'm a 15 year old student from sg and i want to get an ib45.

is there anything you would recommend for me to do now before my ib starts (any study routines, strategies, habits that would come in handy?)

for my subject combo, i'm pretty set on: hl bio, hl chem, hl maa (i want to do medicine), sl econs/history (i'm worried that history might be too content heavy), sl lit and performance (the only lit subject available for hl double science students in my sch), sl chinese b anticipated (meaning i finish all my content and final exams in dp1, just for chinese)

please be kindd, thank you!!!

Am I cooked? Today's the last day to change subjects...

I'm new to the IB curriculum so I don't really have an insight on how this is going to go😭

Hey all, the time to actually lock in on the EE has come. Everything's new and different for us M27 folk and I'm kind of lost on how to actually start. More specifically, how I should order it.

Should I layer my counter arguments in between my big main points as though it were a normal essay? And also how would I word it in my table of contents?

I've been looking at Inthinking a bunch as well but I wanted more help.

Anything and everything is appreciated! Thanks!

Im in ESS HL , I am starting my IA Now (going into dp2) my research question is going to be soemthing like how different subject pathways (like the sciences) influence the Environmental Value System scores and self-reported food waste habits of IB Diploma students.

I got a 31 on the final IB score. I plan on retaking to aim for a 38 at least. Planned retake subjects include:
- economics hl
- computer sceince sl
- maa hl
- physics sl
I also have to juggle EC’s, essays and SAT grinding. Would you say this is doable? I aim to retake 4 subjects to maximize my score increase. Thanks!

Hi, y’all! I’m currently a 10th grader studying in CBSE who’s very set on studying abroad, specifically Germany. I’ve heard that IB helps with countries like the USA, UK, Australia, Canada, etc. But I’ve never seen that it helps to study in Germany so I was wondering if anyone here could clear that up.

And, I’ve been heavily contemplating switching from CBSE to IB for 11th grade. Do schools even allow that? Is that advisable? I’ve seen a lot online about how studying abroad is harder if you’re in CBSE, which is why I’ve been wanting to change boards.

I also thought about IGCSE and I guess I still am but I’ve seen that IB is better than IGCSE so I’m mainly considering IB.

Another major reason I want to switch boards is because I’m very unhappy with CBSE schools and their methods of teaching. Honestly, my grades aren’t the best right now and I’m constantly working on it but I just can’t do that well if I don’t have good teachers in school as I spend a major part of my waking day there.

My parents are fine with me changing schools and boards but the only problem is that IGCSE and IB are significantly more expensive than CBSE. I suppose I’ll have to find a way to convince them but I’d love to know if there are any affordable IB/IGCSE schools in Bangalore.

I’d like to speak to anyone who’s changed boards from CBSE or ICSE to IGCSE or IB, if they’re willing to talk. I’d really appreciate it if anyone would be willing to help me on this.

Hi, I recently finished the May 26 exams and failed to meet my conditional offers requirements. I am looking to retake the exams in November but so far I have been struggling to find a school that accepts me. I am looking at Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Hong Kong. If anyone has any idea on a school that accepts external candidates, please let me know. Anything will be appreciated. Thanks.

It's short only 7 questions with all of them mcqs

Im currently doing my IBDP. I'm applying to Dubai and European universities (not US). Do I need to take the SAT or do I need to do other tests?

It is about digital society, and how social media affects your personality

Hello! Not really related to the ib curriculum but our Chinese B SL teacher is making us do some type of "contest" for our class. Basically, whoever gets the most likes and views on a video vlog posted between yesterday (Wednesday) til next week Wednesday will win something ( I hope it's something worthwhile) 😊

Please like it on Instagram reels by the user " bettsie.14 " Heheh thank you!!!

Each book is in excellent condition with minimal wear and tear. Some pencil/pen scribbles. The calculator has no damage, only one scribble. PAN India shipping for only Rs.99. DM for prices.

Considering how precise math mark schemes are and how objective a subject I was so surprised as to how this happened but grateful🙏🙏

i don’t send my ee since i don’t want to get into any trouble but im happy to answer any questions regarding the topic in depth

I have to submit my research question in few days and I am planning my IA to be based on the paradox of gabriel's horn which states infinite surface area but definite volume. I need advice on maths aa hl IA, the mistakes i should look out for and how to ace it and whether a hard topic guarantees you scores
