IB EXAMS

Going well so far. Just trying not to think about all the thousands of dollars in tuition, years of work in the past, and hundreds of hours of future work hanging in the balance.

I was in partial IB ("Certificate"), and now that I have two years of university under my belt I can tell you that, in hindsight, IB totally wasn't worth stressing out over nearly as much as my classmates in the full program thought it was (they agree). Trust me, exam season in university will make IB seem like an insignificant distant memory. And it comes twice a semester.

 

And that's aside from the fact that you'll probably realize that IB was mostly a waste of time anyways, because everyone starts from the bottom in university. Taking slightly more difficult courses in high school really doesn't put you nearly as far ahead as your teachers are probably telling you. However, depending on what IB courses you're taking and what you intend to do in university, it may make your first year significantly less stressful; or, it may make no difference at all.

 

My point, of course, is not that you shouldn't try to do well on your exams, but rather that if you don't, the consequences are unlikely to be nearly as dire as you probably think they are.

 

But regardless, IB exams are definitely tough and I wish you the best of luck!
