How did people find the International Baccalaureate?

All I can tell you is to make sure you study consistently and make notes consistently for your cles. Typically IB students slack off in their 1st IB year thinking it's not much of a leap from the previous normal school year, then in the final year you are like WOW I am SWAMPED with work. There is no real opportunity to "catch" up work you have put off whilst doing the extended essay and meeting the draft deadlines and the TOK essay etc, not to mention CAS (make sure you do as many hours as you can in the first year!). So, as I said keep good notes and do your best NOT to slack off at all! Do your best on every ignment which counts towards the IB. When revision time arrives you should know the content and it should be a case of just looking back over everything to make sure you know it, memorise things you think you will need to know as a matter of fact (such as the content in your bio and history syllabus) and then practice technique. When you are revising for bio you should be doing as many past papers as you can and getting a feel for the multiple choice questions and long answer questions, for german practice your grammar and make sure you know all the grammatic "rules" pretty well so it comes naturally and practice short essay writing, for math do lots of past papers and practice lots of problems focusing on ones that you tend to struggle with. Good luck! Do your best!!! Exam time is far away but before exams get alot of sleep and rest because stress will seriously affect your performance. I hope you get good points!
