IB EXAM

 

. Preparation is Key

Confidence starts with knowing your stuff.

• Study actively: Use active recall (e.g., flashcards, self-quizzing) and spaced repetition.

• Practice past papers: This is HUGE in IB. Get familiar with the format, question types, and mark schemes.

• Understand command terms: IB loves specific verbs like evaluate, compare, discuss. Know what each one means.

• Know the criteria: For essays and IAs, know what gets you the marks. Use the rubrics to your advantage.

🧠 2. Train Your Mindset

How you think about exams affects your performance.

• Reframe anxiety as excitement: Your body doesn’t know the difference, so channel those nerves.

• Visualize success: Imagine yourself walking in confidently and crushing the exam.

• Affirmations help: Even something as simple as “I’ve done the work. I’m ready.” can calm you down.

🕒 3. Smart Time Management

• Make a revision schedule and stick to it—but allow breaks.

• Don’t cram the night before. It can increase anxiety and decrease retention.

• Use Pomodoro or other focused study methods to avoid burnout.

💤 4. Take Care of Your Body

• Sleep: At least 7–8 hours, especially the night before.

• Eat well: Brain fuel like protein, fruits, and slow carbs.

• Hydrate: Your brain literally works better when it’s hydrated.

• Exercise: Even a short walk helps reduce stress and improve focus.

🎯 5. Exam Room Strategies

• Read the whole paper first (if time allows) to calm nerves and plan.

• Tackle easy questions first to build momentum.

• Watch the clock, but don’t panic if you’re behind—just refocus.

• Don’t dwell on one question too long—come back if needed.
