Therefore, in this video, I cover all the basics you need to begin using notion, and change the way you work and organise your life for good.
Don't hesitate to pause the video and rewind, I am aware that I go a little too fast at points.

    The worst part of taking IB is not the subjects themselves or the difficulties. You get flattered by the number of works you have to get done at the same time, especially the requirements of the diploma: EE, TOK, CAS, IAs. Multitasking is necessary, so people like me who like to focus on a single thing always find ourselves lost.

    If you want to do well in DP, start to prepare as early as possible. It's not the same as A-level or AP where you just study and do papers.The factors which determines your success is more of your ability to manage time and deep thinking. Especially for your first language lit, it needs daily accumulation. Simply remembering contents and opinions as is what you do in igcse doesn't work anymore. Choose wisely.

      @MarkosDrakos 4 місяці тому

      I would say no. I think HL physics is a really tricky course, and trying to do it well without HL maths is tough. I think people who try to do HL physics with SL maths will usually not do very well, as the skillset needed is very similar. Also, in terms of uni applications, any degree which requires HL physics will want HL maths, so I would recommend either doing both or neither.

    • @MarkosDrakos
      @MarkosDrakos 4 місяці тому

      I don't think so - they serve different purposes. Flashcards make sure that there are no gaps in your knowledge, and you can use spaced repetition with them to ensure that things go into your long term memory. In contrast, I think past papers are more useful to really get to know the markschemes. This doesn't apply to every subject though - I wouldn't use flashcards for maths for example.

Contrary to you, my IA was very much oriented towards physics (as I am an aspiring physics major) and not biology. I investigated the effect of damping on a mass spring system and used complex representation to then graph different functions of different forms of damping (interests me but I know it sounds boring to other people).

      I think start studying as early as reasonably possible. If you are still finishing off IAs and stuff, then focus on that. Once those are done, I think you should be ready to start studying. Use your mocks as a way to get into the routine of studying, and then just continue that till finals.
