People often
ask our Baccalaureate academy tutors how some students achieve a 42 IB
diploma
score, and having answered that question many times now, sometimes it is
difficult to convince people that they don’t have to do anything special or
extra than what most students did through their IB journey. With examinations
being just around the corner, here are 4 tips for IB students putting their
knowledge and skills to their best efforts in a few weeks.
1. Plan a schedule and be organized
According to
any performing IB students the most important skill they’ve learnt throughout
their journey will be to how to remain organized. Being organized helps you see
things clearly and put everything into perspective, and enable you to meet
deadlines effectively. Now that you have excelled this skill after submitting
your internal assessments and essays, you should apply it to your exams
schedule.
Plan a
schedule that would segregate each subject with its necessary quantity of time,
not every subject follows the similar preparation, so our faculty of
specialized IB
tutors in
our academy will guide the aspiring students to concentrate on specific
subjects that consume larger part of the time in their schedule. Some
people like to begin preparing for the subjects who falls first in their IB
exam schedule, others like to begin preparing for the exams they have at the
end of their exam schedule thus finishing off quickly with the ones they have
at the beginning, so our specialized faculty of IB
teachers in Delhi NCR
would detect which type you are and guide you to apply it following the
schedule so that you won’t have to change your routine frequently.
2. Apply the knowledge, PRACTISE
Certainly it
is not the time for you to study on every topic of each subject! Trust yourself
on the learned topics that you have learned several times enough, for you to do
a quick review covering all topics of the subjects and focusing only on the
topics which you find yourself weak in. If students tend to finish their Mock
exams and solved previous year question papers already, then take the feedback
from results and see which areas they still need to improve thus concentrate on
those.
Devote more
time to solve exam papers, utilize the Question bank and make sure to solve
every paper as if they are solving it in your actual external exam, with time
constraint and resources allowed to take in for that exam, like the subject
guide or a calculator. Practicing solving exams makes a student more familiar
with the format of questions, especially that the IB exam pattern is usually
the same, and makes one faster in solving which ensures that they have
efficient time
management
skills required to finish a paper within a limited period of time.
3. Manage your time effectively, in and out of exams
Before exams,
ensure to schedule small breaks in between your study blocks, as a student’s
mind cannot focus for a longer period of time and you need to relax and cleanse
your mind every couple of hours by breathing and meditation exercises, to focus
again and recall information. Set a time limit for your break, a ten-minute
break every 90 minutes or 2 hours is effective and more than enough. Use it to
do something that will rejuvenate you without making you delay or waste your
time, like exercising or a short walk, as you should go back to studying
directly after your break without any excuses to putting studying off or
thinking of left over portions of study.
During exams,
it is also compulsory to try to relax the night before your exam; you might do
a quick review or solve some questions, but ensure that students get enough
sleep the night before, and that you have a good breakfast before you leave for
your exam the next morning, as this will help you in focusing on it completely.
4. Prevent wasting time on social media while studying
It’s not to
be emphasized enough how important it is to turn off your mobile phone, the TV,
and any social networks that will distract you while studying. One might think
that it won’t harm replying quickly to a WhatsApp group chat or checking your
Instagram/Facebook account, but this will only lead you to waste hours that you
could spend on effective non-distracted learning.
