    • @iblikecole9167

      Relax, I improved my grades dramatically only in mid second year. You're not alone. Start by organising your resources, reading up on all the material you missed first year (mainly those that that are prerequisites for future chapters) and get back on track.

I changed my Chi B to my mother tongue (Filipino) and found it easier so you might wanna take your mother tongue instead... Hope you are doing well in IB :)

      Karina Kjøs i just got accepted into ib and i'm so scared because everyone says it's hard but i did get good points in the entrance exam. I'm lacking that confidence that i need. All my classmates study in diffrent school and i'm in another. I have given presentation, i just haven't given a lot in english and sorry for my english it's really bad.😥😥

    • @selma1320
      @selma1320 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      At the school I'm starting we don't get the tests back (so I don't know if I got a good score or not), we only get informed if we got accepted or not (I got accepted). But the thing is that there where foreigners that finished the on hour test in like 15 min. But even though I'm not that worried. When it comes to having a presentation you really just have to practice and slowly understand that everyone is different and that not everyone cares if you make a mistake during your presentation or not

    • @zahraal-agraa1621
      @zahraal-agraa1621 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Selma most of the one's who got accepted into ib, english is their native language and mine is not. I speak about 5 diffrent languages and in the entrance exam most of them had problems with math which wasn't a worry for me because i had studied them at home. They gave us about 4 hours to do the whole test which includes math, three english essay (first one 700 words and two others 500 words ) and last one was test in your own mother tongue. A lot of foreigners finished the test in the first hour and that made me more nervous. But i know no one is perfect and we learn from our mistakes and we are allowed to do mistakes during presentation. When it comes to presentations i just have to practice till i'm confident to speak in front of anyone and work hard alwas because hard work will pay off. By the way I'm really curious how was your test? 😊

    • @selma1320
      @selma1320 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Okay so I had about 10 days to study for the two tests, one english exam and the other maths. I may have 'over studied' because usually I'm average when it comes to math but honestly it was a very simple test. The same goes to the english one where we had to write a speech (mine was abouth 2-3 pages long). In Sweden we can apply for max like 10 different schools (gymnasiums) so some of the people I did the test with could have had IB as the last option but for me it was the first since the school who has IB is a very hard school to get in. Anyway they only accept 30 students and about 60+ did the test. Then again they usually pick the ones who got the highest points on the test and has Ib as a first, second or third option. So every school that has IB can pretty much do it easy or super hard (your was for an example MUCH harder than mine probably). Also sweds are like ... let's just say that we might study and focus on things other countries do not focus on so therefor the test had to be easy since every student coming from a country has learnd different things.
      Btw sorry for the bad english, I'm blaiming it on the time in sweden rn ... It's like ....idk 2am lol
