How to Get Good Grades in International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB)

Getting good grades in IB can be a great challenge, but if you've got the tricks at the tip of your toes, IB can be one of the most useful program you'll ever go through in your life.

Steps

1. 
   1
   Acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses. What makes IB unique from other high school programs is the breadth of knowledge offered. IB forces you to focus on all 6 subjects. Therefore, the first step is to acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses in every subject.
2. 
   2
   Revise everyday. This cannot be stressed enough. Without revising, all those lectures that your teacher gave to you today will just be another waste of time. You don't have to take 5 hours to revise. As soon as you get home, get a blank notebook and write about what you've learnt today in school. If you feel like you're forgetting something, open up your notes and skim read the parts where you forgot. Then, go back to your notebook and write what you remembered from skimming those notes.
3. 
   3
   Minimize your time to procrastinate. Every time you find yourself starting to procrastinate, just remember that you won't achieve anything at all.
4.

   Time Management. Learn to manage your time from the littlest things (like how much time you take to shower, etc) to the bigger ones. This will aid you in coping with IB.
5. 
   5
   Relax once in a while. Release yourself from the death-air of IB and inhale the fresh air. You will eventually pass if you are consistent and focus on all your studies.
6.

   Focus on all subjects. Don't turn a blind eye to subjects that you are already good at. Focus on all subjects in school, all day long and reward yourself when you get home with some apple pies.

Tips

• Here's a useful strategy to be used in IB. When you get a task to do something, the first thing you should do is to estimate the amount of time that you will need to do the task. Then adjust that estimated time with your deadline, and don't forget to include your personal time and school time into consideration. Don't do your task 100% in a day. Instead, start by making an outline (especially for bigger assessments) and work your way out by contributing at least 45 minutes into doing it everyday.
• Time management is key. Just because you do IB, it does not mean that you can't have fun. Leave at least 4 hours a week for you to enjoy yourself. Work overload might cause stress, and you won't be able to go through IB with too much stress.
