Self-reflection and correction is super important. Your teachers will do this with you after each test and exam, but we suggest rewriting your essays based on the feedback you’ve received, and make a document of your overall reflections and things to work on. You can meet your teachers and show them your rewritten work for any further feedback, they will be happy to help :)

In these subjects — whether continuing with a language you have been learning or learning an entirely new one — consistency is key! Whether it be reading short stories, listening to a podcast, or watching your favourite movie dubbed in the language, exposing yourself to the language regularly and as much as possible will be immensely helpful. Gaining familiarity with the language will help build your confidence, which is especially important in speaking where you have to express your thoughts with clarity. Focus on listening and speaking, as these are the skills that most find the hardest. In class, keeping a list of new vocab or expressions that you encounter is a helpful way to improve your language skills.

More than just content, opinions and perspectives form a large part of Group 3 subjects. Taking notes in class (including your thoughts and others’), while also actively participating in class helps you get a better understanding of the subject. For subject-specific questions within this group, feel free to ask us any questions in the 'Ask Us' tab :)

This is something that differs from person to person, but keeping a list of deadlines for the week or month really helps you plan and adds a sense of order to the otherwise hectic life of an IB student. If possible, try the T-minus 2 approach - setting an internal deadline of 2 days before. This may not always work, but the earlier you finish work, the calmer you’ll be.

Google drive, docs and notion will be your best friends for these two years, and you're going to have a lot of files and worksheets across subjects. Creating a centralised space for all your notes, resources and assignments is a great way for you to be organised throughout the year. Make it early, and keep adding on as the months pass!

# data[].attributes.body
Self-reflection is a must! The IB is rooted in principles of self-reflection and improvement, so we recommend the following: whenever you’re done with a test or assignment, write a short note of what you did wrong and how you can work on it, referring to the subject-specific rubrics of mark schemes. A lot of your teachers will do this with you after exams, but doing it yourself for practice will really help you identify your specific areas of improvement, and help you find a way forward.

# data[].attributes.body
Always ask for help! The IB can be tricky at times, and meeting your teachers in breaks or free blocks is a great way for you to get feedback and clarify any doubts you have. We recommend doing this in advance, so that you can benefit the most. You can also always ask your seniors and the PSG :)

Regular revision of concepts, especially in content-heavy subjects — this is especially important to avoid being overwhelmed or cramming before tests and exams. Also, don’t study passively — instead, try techniques like active recall (continuously testing yourself) for improved retention.

# data[].attributes.body
this is a tough one, and IB students are known for having horrible sleep schedules. But trust us, you can easily thrive in the IB as well as get the adequate sleep you need. Every person is different, so identify at what times you can focus and work best, and try to get about 6-8 hours of sleep everyday. It’ll help you be much more focused and work better in school and during the day

# data[].attributes.body
Taking notes in class and then going through the textbook/study guide on your own and adding content to your notes is a great way to consolidate your learning. Doing this after learning the topic in class as opposed to right before the test/exam is helpful, given the large volume of content in the sciences (especially for HL subjects). For practice, past paper questions, textbook questions, revision village, and kognity are good resources. Conceptual clarity is key in the sciences, so don’t hesitate to reach out to your teachers if you have any questions!

Practice is extremely important in math and the best way to improve! Past paper, textbook, and revision village questions are good resources for practice, along with worksheets given by the teachers. Keeping a list of hard questions that you encounter while studying for a test/exam, and then going over these questions before the exam is a good way to ensure that you are able to tackle the tougher questions. Aside from practice, having a strong conceptual understanding of topics in the subject is important — always reach out to your teachers or peers if you need clarity with something!

• Start your day with breakfast: even something quick like fruit, toast, or a smoothie helps boost energy and focus.
• Smart snacking is key: go for fruits, nuts, popcorn, or yogurt instead of chips and candy.
• Stay hydrated: carry a water bottle with you and sip throughout the day — water helps with focus, mood, and energy.
• It’s all about balance: fast food or sweets are fine sometimes, just don’t let them be the norm.
• Avoid too much sugar: slowly cut back on sodas or super-sweet drinks and switch to flavoured water or fresh juices when you can.

# data[].attributes.body
• You don’t need a gym to stay active: dancing, walking, cycling, swimming, or YouTube workouts work just as well.
• Even short workouts help: 15–20 minutes of movement a day can really boost your mood and energy.
• Take breaks between study sessions: stretch or walk around to help your body and refresh your mind.
• If you’re not into sports, that’s okay: just find a way to move that you enjoy!

# data[].attributes.body
• Stress is normal: but learning how to manage it makes a big difference.
• Talk it out: speak to a friend, family member, or trusted adult when things feel overwhelming.
• Watch your screen time: social media can drain your energy without you noticing.
• Try app limits or notification breaks: this helps reduce distractions and anxiety.
• Check in with yourself regularly: a bit of reflection or journaling can help you stay grounded and focused.

Your passions have a place in the IB! At first, it may seem like all your time may be focused on academics, but it’s really important to make time for your passions. From playing musical instruments to playing board games, you must make sure that you practice activities beyond academics. They help you get a good break, and help you feel better throughout the week. Joining clubs (or starting your own), your original CAS projects (where you can start creative community service initiative), and FDP are great outlets in school for this, use them well!

# data[].attributes.body
• Don’t isolate yourself during busy weeks: having people to talk to helps you feel less stressed and more supported.
• Spend quality time with friends: even a short lunch catch-up, group study session, or quick walk between classes makes a difference.
• Balance is key: it’s okay to say no sometimes, but also remember that friendships need time and care to grow.

Another great way to get exams and test papers of previous years in BIS is to go to the library!

There are books for each subject with the terminal and final exams of previous batches. This can help you get an idea of what type of questions your teacher can ask!
