group 2 should be the least of my worries but in all my other subjects, i average a 6-7, yet chinese is my lowest (4). my school hasnt taught chinese that seriously in the past and we were always taught it at an ab initio level before ib (id argue even easier), so stepping in chinese b is quite hard. what are tips you can give me for the listening comprehension, reading comprehension, writing, and io? My classmates advised me for example to really increase my vocabulary, use conjunction for writing, structure the thesis statements and outline, read key words in reading comprehension instead of over analyzing. what are your actual lifesaving tips for someone who struggles in chinese b? ive already accepted it being my lowest, but hopefully low as in 5-6! (My reading is 3, listening is 5, and writing is 4)

my notion's offline for some reason even when im connected to the internet.

not a fluent speaker (chinese) and i wish it were my easiest subject 🫩🫩

i feel like ive drained all past papers..

hopefully not just revdojo/village :((

has anyone used the brilliant learning paid ibdp resource question bank? or is it not worth it? genuinely curious hehe!

i wanna hear the funniest ones that actually made it a bit funner to write the ee!

i am not fluent in chinese and i have hsk lvl 3 understanding of it. but i recently did a listening test and got a 4/25 (2/7 in my school) which is super concerning. i really want to know how i can improve in both writing, speaking, and listening!!! again, i am not good at chinese and know a bit deeper than surface level chinese but i really need ur advice!

im taking bio hl, chem hl, bm hl, math aasl, eng l&lsl, and chi b sl

what are the best online and physical resources per subject?

shes always late to class and she never finishes the lesson (bio hl)!! im just at the beginning of the dp so i know theres still time to change, what do i do?

okay not so much but it feels like i just entered college. this is a whole new system. what the heck do i do??

im taking aa sl and i genuinely just want to know where i can get the best calculator at a good price!

HL: bio, chem, bm
SL: math aa, eng langlit, chi b

im genuinely confused.. how to study (according to you!) what’s ur schedules like? including weekendss

im over revision dojo and ive resorted to pirateib! anyways, for the most general to specific tasks in the ib (reviewing, testing, creating notes), whats the best ai tool you know that isnt just ai slop (everything's ai slop, but the best one hehe!)

will paying for claude pro or chatgpt pro be enough? or should i not get it. i genuinely don't know yet! (to each their own, so just lemme know what worked best for you and from your circle)

im gonna start dp1 in a few days and i personally find it scary since ib is "university level" and is a large jump from typical schoolwork. that being said, to those in the ib or even graduated, what are some beliefs or tips that u can share and some expectations that were and werent met. would love to hear!

im hoping to find an all in one resource as much as possible. both are very expensive and i hear that rd is just ai slop, while rv is generally just good in the maths. if you can recommend one besides these two that do it better, but otherwise!

HL: bio, chem, bm
SL: eng l&l, chi b, math aa

revision village or dojo?
what calculator?

OTHER RESOURCESS

my ib journey begins in a week (dp1) and i chose HL: bio, chem, bm SL: aa, eng l&l, chi b

i know i cant do much in 1 week but should i have studied during my summer break? to anyone that did/didn't, how did it result?? (yes, i know everyone has their own learning curves and lengths, but for u personally)

ps: very scared

ignoring all the "dont start a non profit bc thats so general, you wont stand out" slander, im too deep in so yeah!

anyways, (im from a third world country and we dont operate like the us) and ive been having aspirations of raising a lot of funds for hospitals and children with specific illness + getting a lot of volunteers. but big problem is i dont know how to get either. i spoke with a friend and she said i ask ib students for their cas hours, i label it as "community service hours", etc. but how?? unfortunately i dont have many connections and this is as good as it gets for my current network. about our funds, if u have raised over $10k+ usd... please let me know how! i have tried crowdfunding and that didnt work (or help me try to reframe that)! i have also tried posting on insta.. didnt work! will posting on tiktok be better??

this is basically a post about friends and money but thats the harsh reality because i have so many dreams for this project but i need these to work before it can take off.
