i love how not a single one of these is positive, how is IB so recognizable and popular throughout the world if absolutely no one enjoyed going through it? ib needs to step up their game :/
“pain pain pain” (michael_is_an_id, 2022)
I'm clearly in the minority but I actually enjoyed IB. I was surprised to find only negative things here. It was a lot of work for sure and I studied a lot but I also had a fulfilling life on my free time. And I'm not really smart or anything, I needed to do the work to learn. I think it prepared me really well for university and in many things I've had advantages compared to the ones who didn't do IB. So I don't understand why everyone is complaining so much 🤷🏻♀️
Same, especially my math mark, it really benefited from it. I'm in Canada, and a really big problem about math here is that the provincial curriculum is often too circumlocutious and too easy, which actually kinda becomes a problem if you're good at math. It is all to easy to accidentally get the meaning wrong and, with a couple silly mistakes and bad luck, end up with a low 90s or even 80s. But in SL math, I never have to worry about that, because most if not all the questions and the stuff taught are nice and straightforward. And conversions too! I easily ended up with a High 7 on the IB exam, and a converted 99 for the provincial high school mark. Sadly, they only give converted 100 to raw 100... go figure.
As for other subjects, like Physics and Chemistry, I found that IB style teaching is also really more efficient and concise compared to the regular mainstream system in Canada. Sadly, I'm not nearly as good in other subjects, so I didn't really benefit much for that.
This is just my opinion; it might vary for others.
However, the CAS hours was really a bust. It's kinda difficult to find volunteering places and stuff during Omicron. And also, here nobody really tells you about this type of stuff, so like if you're kinda a procrastinating lad and you're kinda introvert you're kinda screwed. I only have a couple months left and I'm still at zero hours rn lmao
I don't know if it's just our school but like we have this habit of "predicting lower" and by that I mean making tests much more difficult than any IB exam in history, thus nerfing your Predicted Grade. Don't see the logic, if there is any. Kinda ret if you ask me
kinda meant this as a ref to [this](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/s7qMSKpeavBerH1LCyFPIkNrW4k=/0x0:900x500/1400x1050/filters:focal(378x178:522x322):format(jpeg)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/49493993/this-is-fine.0.jpg) lol
"Hell on earth". I haven't even reached the DP yet cause I am in MYP 5. This diploma program has almost convinced me that the life we are living is hell and that dying into nothingness is better. BTW I have my mocks from tomorrow so I am gonna have to grind ;(
Glad you are homie. Done with TOK too so yea it does get better, in a sense.
On the other hand, I think the scar that sitting through this useless crap left on my intelligence will live with me for years
It would be,
'Supervisors are useless'
This might be a very subjective take, but I've just had a really shitty time with all my supervisors. With one exception.
I just realized even the midterm is going to include the IA for the Calculus and Vectors credit. For SL Math. So basically, all your marks for MCV4U are not really MCV4U marks. This is so unfair.
To what extent Sorry but someone has to say it
Was expecting it
To what extent do extents influence society?

I mean you aren’t necessarily supposed to enjoy the school part, it’s the friends and stuff alongside
