Junior Year in IB this year gon' hit DIFFERENT ONLINE.

the ib really did everyone dirty this year

Me, going into ib next year while watching this: 👁💧👄💧👁

as someone’s who’s about to start IB in a month, this is very helpful

here is some extra advice from a bio & chem HL student (about to go into ib2): FIRST OFF try to finish your ia's/ee's in your first year. this will help you MASSIVELY and truly give you a lot of time to purely focus on that. have a sheet with all of the official assignments so you can keep track of what you have left. finish majority of CAS in year 1 to save yourself a lot of stress, and write your reflections after you've done an experience. also make your CAS your social life; as in go volunteer with your friends & work out with them & paint with them. stuff like that. for chem and bio i would HIGHLY recommend to consistently study everything. especially in chem. like do past papers and go over the concepts youve taken every week. this is CRUCIAL. and for chemistry make sure to know how the ib wants you to think and answer the questions. read over the markscheme and make sure to hit all the points and take big notice to the command terms (applies for all subjects). past papers are your best friend

Me, already a year out of college and never had IB as an option: I must watch this video because Hannah 🥰

😊 np 1:04 - start talking ab it/what is it? 3:00 - what she took 3:26 - her results 5:26 - choosing subjects 7:25 - the extended essay 9:33 - cas 11:42 - TOK(theory of knowledge) 13:40 - personal advice 15:56 - Q&A 18:20 - important note(on the screen) 18:47 - last question (was it worth it?) 19:43 - end

42/45 is AMAZING. GIRL!! In my school a 30 is a high score lmao. Are you super smart or just studied a lot?

OMG HANNAH CONGRATS ON YOUR AMAZING SCORE😭🎉❤️it's been so fun following your journey and meeting you even before we realized we did IB. :') you killed it girl.

I finished IB this year too and let me just say I’m glad I’ll never have to do it ever again😂 also tip for IB students in America: I strongly recommend not to do the full diploma unless you want to study abroad. The diploma itself doesn’t have much weight in American colleges, they really only care about what classes you take. A lot of my classmates and I agree that going for the full diploma was a waste of time, and would just recommend focusing on doing IB classes without the extra requirements for the diploma. Also colleges tend to favor AP classes when it comes to credit ( that’s why a lot of IB students are extra bitter lmao, but of course it could depend on your college) One thing about IB though is that students who have done the classes/ diploma tend to think college is easier, because we’re used to writing a lot and the work load is very similar. Hopefully this was helpful!

I'm starting my second year of IB next month and I've been binging videos about IB which is making me so anxious lol.

Great Work queen! I got a 44 and just got accepted into Harvard Law, hope life gives you greatness like it did for me!

i just finished high school and got my results a couple of days ago, never did IB, never had it as an option but i'm still gonna watch this because of Hannah!😍Congrats on the great results girl!! xx

Yess love this video!! I did A Levels and have always been fascinated about how the IB differs so this is super super interesting ❤️

I’m starting IB in the fall and I needed this so bad!!

early!!! love u hannah! i got my ib results too and im happy with mine which i feel kinda eefy about bc most of my friends got lower than their predicted score! i think ib screwed a lot of people over. what was ib's like whole process for grades.... i didf sports science sl and i was predicted a 5 and then got a 6 in the ia and then got a 4 overall... omg holy a 42/45 is soo good! congrats hannah!!

Hannah - Hardest subjects: HL Math, Physics, Chemistry Me - that's exactly what I will be taking 👁️👄👁️

Congratulations!!! Those are amazing grades! I’m starting the DP next year and I’ve been so inspired by you! You’re amazing!

Thank you Hannah for this! I am a rising year 2 student and this video has helped and motivated me so much! Also congrats on that 42! That is incredible and you should be so proud :)

This is my senior year of IB and i have all of my IAs along with the EE and CAS due. i usually finish stuff at the last minute but damn it might actually be impossible this time

I’ve been waiting for this video since the day I found your channel! Congrats on your amazing results! I did ib too and I think that’s why I’ve always felt so connected to your channel. What you said about subject picking is totally true! Unfortunately my school didn’t offer the posibility to choose subjects so i ended up having to do hl bio and math :(

Bro, right after I watch your videos I feel motivated to study or to be more organized

So proud of you Hannah🤗👏✨and you're so beautiful💗✨. Loveyou!! ❤️❤️

Yay Hannah posted! I always look forward to the videos you put out!!

Wtf this was perfect timing cuz I’m into my first IB Junior year 😂😂 Imma need this

Thank you Hannah for such a useful video, especially about keeping a TOK glossary which I would never have imagined nor has anyone told me this such great idea. And also for EE, great suggestions.

your hair looks so beautiful omg!

As an American IB student (class of 2015), I very much appreciated that course selection and IB grades were not as important to college... ahem, UNI... applications. I saw some of the score and subject requirements that European universities had, and appreciated not having to deal with that. The stake of those exams was literally just getting the IB Diploma (which was basically just an extra piece of paper with major symbolic significance). The limiting factor in course selection more ended up being availability (there were a limited number of courses, and we were pretty much pigeonholed into English HL/LangB SL/History HL). It's been expanded since I graduated, but the school's IB classes also got significantly bigger during that time. Math HL was horrific, but turned out to be quite helpful when dealing with collegiate math courses. Music HL was great (yes I did four HLs - I wanted Math SL but was forced into either HL or Studies). Chemistry SL was a solid course that got one of my IB exams done in junior year. As an American, the fall of grade 12 is naturally going to be brutal - the teachers tried to go easy a bit, but we were balancing 4-6 IB subjects with TOK, getting the EE done, and our college applications. And there were some IAs in there as well. Fall of grade 11 can be rough just from getting used to the increased difficulty, and spring from the increased number of IAs plus TOK, but Fall of grade 12 is the really brutal part. Spring of grade 12 really wasn't that bad, as there were a bunch of mock papers and review built in so that we really were spending a lot of time on dedicated exam prep even within class (I say this as someone who had five two year courses). Regarding CAS, I tend to agree with your general approach - one committed activity for the C and A (choir for the former in my case, sports for the latter) and a bunch of activities pieced together to make 50 hours for the S. As far as TOK, I spent a whole semester inevitably thinking of it as "that class right before my chorus elective". It had its cool points, and the presentation in particular was fun, but it was definitely a bit of a bore at times. Especially with it being first thing in the morning. The point of picking niche topics is solid. HL History is underrated in the hardest subject debate for the simple reason of the sheer amount of content you need to learn and the sheer number of essays. Three essays in two and a half hours is no joke, and not just for the physical reasons of your hand getting really sore. I didn't take an HL science, so I cannot comment on them, but HL Mathematics deserved the reputation it had (though the IB math courses have been redesigned since when I was an IB DP Candidate). Your scores blew mine out of the water - I got my diploma, but I definitely did not beat the median number of points. Frankly, I would be surprised if any of my classmates touched your scores. But getting a 6 or a 7 isn't as crucial in the US as it is elsewhere. US Colleges generally give credit for HLs with a 5, but often do not take SLs - I literally had an admissions person tell me that they consider IB SL courses equal to Honors. I am sure that I am not the only one here to realize how much of a joke that idea is.

To all of you guys thinking on taking the IB course, I can tell you it is worth it! Despite all the difficulty and stress that you may encounter along the way, it really makes you grow as a person. Makes you do and achieve things you never thought you could. From a prospect IB2 student💕

As someone who was in AP, this video was so interesting to learn about IB! I didn't realize it had this many components, it sounds a lot like college and like you would be really prepared going into university. Congrats on your score!!

I’ve been waiting this videoo! Congrats on your grades, they are so good🥳

I'm on the middle of year 2 and what you said is really accurate. Congrats on your 42!! You definitely deserve it!

omgg I found out about the IB in a video of yours 2 years ago and then decided to take it after doing some research 🥶 it’s crazy to see that you’ve now graduated and I’m on my last year of the IB 🥰 honestly the IB was the best choice I could’ve made for my High School, it’s just an amazing program (and not as tough as people make you think it is)

LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! You’re amazing💖💖💖

Ahhh I'm early💖wow this is really fascinating and gives me an idea about IB🤔

Dude, i’m sooo excited for uni videos. What i eat in a week, room tour, vloogs🔥 etc.💖 🇨🇦

i’m going into my junior year of ib and this was really helpful!! thanks 💓

YAY QUEEN HAS UPLOADED xx 🥺❤️

As someone who also finished the IB this year, thank you for releasing this video. Let us hope that the next IB students don’t have to deal with what we had to

definitely the hardest 2 years of high school but it payed off in college so I’m grateful for doing it😌

Awieeee my fave youtuber is back 🥰

Great video!! I’m a sophomore at IB and I’m so nervous for junior and senior year. Congrats on your scores!

hey Hannah, thank you for your video. I'll be starting the IB in 20 days. I'm very excited but also very nervous because its going to be online. I've been thinking of dropping out because I seriously can't learn anything from online classes. I chose HL physics and math AA which are said to be one of the hardest courses you can take... I don't want corona to affect my grades :( I don't know what to do

Hannah!! I have been watching your videos for over 2 years and I can't wait for your next step in the journey. Could you maybe share your notes with us - they would be super super helpful!!!

Girl I'm so happy for you, 42/45 is amazingg good job. Please drop your exam/ study tips:)))))

Been waiting for this video 🤩🤩

Congrats on finishing IB!! I've been struggling with tok and was wondering if you know what website your teacher got those tok resources from? :)

love this video you have always been inspiring me to study love you hannah

I love your videos Hannah!!

If only u knew how fast I clicked this video, I didn't even hesitate. Tysm ily for this😭❤️💖

I went for 2 years, got a lot of high school done, got my AP credits, and went on to do dual enrollment on the traditional side of school. Doing it for two years allows you to complete a lot of high school (depending on the school) so you can focus on other things like more college credits. Getting out of an academic program doesn’t mean you’re stupid, it just means it wasn’t for you. I didn’t fit in with “IB kids”, all my friends were traditional b/c that’s where I fit in, and I just overall wasn’t happy. So don’t feel too bad if you’re like me🤷🏽‍♀️.

I have been studying in ib program for over 5 years now, I have been through pyp and myp. Right now I'm on my last year of myp, next year I will be joining in dp. Thank you so much for the advice, pretty much everything u said is true. Ib really value balance and critical thinking, although it is tough, they really help you prepare for the real world, teach you how to deal with problems, how to analyse, organize and communicate with people. Good luck to everyone else who is going to start dp!! ❤️ ❤️

Great IB experience blog, Hannah!❤️❤️

thanks sm for this video!! idk many people doing IB and i’m starting in sept so this is super useful

Congrats on that 42! You earned it!

And girl you were predicted a 44 omg🤩🤩

YOUR HAIR LOOKS SOOOO CUTE OMG

ty for making this video i’m planning on taking the IB course myself ❤️

wow, these are amazing results! congratulations :)

Doing my IB exam in the November session, BIGGEST tip, CHOOSE THE SUBJECTS YOU TRULY ENJOY! Other wise IB would just be a two-year hell...

honestly, if u can do the full diploma, it's so helpful in uni since it gives you 30 credits. I dropped down to certificates and I got much less university credits...

girl you're so lucky you only do ib for 2 years. I've been doing it since kindergarten, and now I'm in highschool. you guys have it so easy :(

Thank you so much Hannah ❤️✨

I’m doing the IB next year at college (last two years of high school in the UK). Literally no one does it here, I think 3% of our school cohort does it. My friends think I’m insane cause it’s harder than our usual A-levels. Im planning on applying to Cambridge so I need 41 points to get in which is so hard. Im doing HL maths chemistry physics and SL English German and psychology. I’m actually so excited though because it’s so different from the ‘normal’ school qualifications. Edit: she just said HL maths chemistry and physics are the hardest lol I’m torturing myself

42 is amazing!!! great job Hannah ❤️

I have always been curious as to the education pathway of an international student in Singapore and this like widens my knowledge of what they do and it’s so interesting to a public sch / govt sch student in Singapore and u did really well for ur IB congrats !!!

Im literally starting tomorrow and im scared helpp 😣😣 i watched ure vids to calm myself down ahhahah

senior year for ib rn and i'm hoping they cancel tests like they did for y'all last year 😭 my IAs are mad good soo 🤞

me about to take my second year of IB Spanish B HL, it makes me wanna cry even though i’m hispanic 😭🥱

I'm going in to 7th grade IB my cousin did it and got a full ride to college I'm kinda nervous about it so I hope it goes well

I am so happy you did this video!! I was rly scared to be starting IB next year and this made me come to my senses in a way. Congratulations btw!! ❤️❤️ Hope you will be happy and successful for the rest of your life. LYSM

PLEASE make a vid about how you got a 42!!!!!!! Like how you prepared etc!!! Would help a lot xx

As someone who did A levels and really struggled picking three or four, I very envious of peeps who got to do way more subjects. Ended up doing maths, physics nd history + EPQ and gold dofe nd a few other things but I would've loved to do french and some form of classics

I am so happy i found this video bc I am taking almost all the classes you took so im hoping this helps

I have IB at my high school. I'm definitely not doing full diploma but I'm thinking of taking a few. I'm a sophomore now so I have to start thinking and deciding...

As an IB student I can tell it is totally different to the way I’ve been taught before (I’ve been in this program for 3 years now)

I’m going to pre - IB class this year and I’m quite excited about it

YESSSS! Love your hair! Love from South America

I’ve honestly been waiting for this video 😌 Also when is the closet video coming? ❤️🤟🏻

Loved this video, hannah you're so ridiculously intelligent, I got a bad score, but I still agree to whatever u said

Something else about EE, is that once I had picked my subject (Psychology which I don't actually take) if your EE doesn't quite match the subject (mine was the personalisation of care for autistic patients in public health systems) it doesn't really matter, there are a lot of different aspects which you cannot fit into a certain subject.

Thank you SO much for this video. I'm starting the IB in september and this helped so much!! XO

woah :) congrats! i got like 27 bc i was the 1st class doing ib at my school. It was kinda hard for us

im a freshman with zero knowledge of what ib is! i have 3 ib classes and 2 honors classes, this is really helpful thank you!

I am starting year 2, and thank you for this!!! ❤️❤️❤️

You got 6, this isn’t dropping at all! Good job!!

I'm not even doing IB but I'd watch the entire video anyway😌

This is so helpful, I'm taking the exams next year, and I'm kind of hoping Singapore's no physical exams policy will last until then;) also, 42 is so good! And, you got into a great uni! Good job girl

i was in the IB MYP (Middle Years Program: so 6th grade through sophomore year/10th grade) and almost went through with the program. I didn't do it mostly because the people at my school were kind of toxic and i went to a really small school so if you're in the IB diploma program (at my high school) you're surrounded by the same people for all four years of high school. truly didnt want to be around fake people and surrounded by people who talked about me behind my back. so i decided to drop out so that i could focus on my mental health and physical health because i had to have back surgery junior year so that would have really hurt school wise with IB. i dont regret my decision at all i just graduated high school with my associates in arts in health science! but i hope that people who are deciding to go through with this program enjoy it and never have to deal with the people i did!

Congrats on your 42 points!!

WHAT?! YOU DID SOOO GOOD 42/45!

if only if i started IB in 2020 :( sad that im in the same IB grade as Hannah because i didn't get to use all her tips :(

Class of 2020 right here ❤️❤️❤️

my school had only 7 subject options and now im stuck with subjects that i despise ✨😇

can you share your TOK resources (glossary/ terminology sheet)? Our old TOK teacher left, so we have a new TOK teacher that is new to TOK...

I took IB during middle school (it was required no choices) and I’m finally going to high school also taking IB as well. Did you take DP?? I was wondering about that because during 11th and 12th I will also take that program as well.

Love this video!

How did you stay motivated to complete the EE? I’m currently writing my EE and I don’t have ANY motivation to complete it 😭 help

this was so detailed, thanks

Me being in ib since the start of my education life and not even getting high scores (my scores in IB is usually 2-8 but mostly I got 3-5) and do you have this thing called SA (Service as Action)?
