The rigour of IBDP
IBDP is a rigorous comprehensive curriculum which needs a perfect sense of direction to nail it with the perfect overall score of 45, which is a dream for all of you guys! However, it’s quite natural that you as high schoolers have so much of energy to be channelized in different dimensions that you often tend to beat the heat at the end moment. It’s at this extreme end point you get to realize that gearing up is a much needed shot. Eventually, you get gullible to be entrapped in the pressure cooker and try to adopt all short cut means to cover the syllabi. The problem starts there!
You as self-regulated learners
With IBDP it’s next to impossible to swim against the stress waves without a proper organization skill. That’s the key reason the focus of IBDP pedagogy and methodology calls for nurturing the self-management and affective skills in you with the deep realization of time management, predictability, self-motivation, confidence and grit. The whole objective of this curriculum is to create self-regulated learners who would understand and create their learning environment with goal setting, self- monitoring, self-instruction, and self-reinforcement.
Work smart
Up until now we have talked about the attitude and aptitude to be inculcated in you as the IB learners. Now, let’s highlight on the smart preparation tactics. It’s momentous for all of you to be thoroughly aware of the subject specific guides and the assessment criteria. In addition, it’s wise to be in constant touch with your IB tutors who would orient and prepare you on how to handle Internal assessments (IAs) within a stipulated time period.
Nonetheless, it’s very common observation that even with a complete comprehensive detailing of the subject knowledge, some of you face difficulties in the exam preparation phase. Herein lies the importance of a smart IB REVISION PACK!
Your life saver
A perfect REVISION PACKAGE is a nutshell of key concepts, intense applications with previous years’ questions, and the techniques to be adopted to answer all of them keeping in mind the IB MARKING SCHEME. Though it’s a common practice that couple of you hunt for best revision packages just before the exam.
What is actually necessary is to grab best revision packages WELL IN ADVANCE. This would make you pro with a perfect skill set of handling the questions based on the mark descriptors.
Let’s take a few subject specific examples and analyse the importance of a good revision package.
The new curriculum of IBDP Math for the class of 2021 is a concern for many because it’s the first time the IB cohort is facing Math AA (Mathematics: analysis and approaches) and Math AI (Mathematics: applications and interpretations), both for SL and HL. Starting from understanding which one to choose AA or AI to the deep learning of algebraic methods, modelling, and statistics with the integration of technology, it’s equally important for the students to solve a myriad of problems. So, getting hold of a good revision pack would make their lives easy on the approaches on how to attack the topics of the new curriculum and record the synopsis of each chapter.
In Physics the revision package would help you register the key concepts and their applications very easily. It’s obvious that it is neither feasible nor necessary to remember every sentence in a chapter for the exam. You just need to extract the juice of the fundamentals and learn to attack the questions in a stipulated time frame.
Likewise, in Chemistry the revision package would extract the gist of the complexity of various combinations of some hundreds of chemical elements and help you to apply the concepts in each chapter with real life problems.
When to grab your best pal
What is prescribed for a smart work is to handle every chapter from the text book with the simultaneous revision from the package. This approach would help you understand the fundamentals at a granular level and at the same time record and register the most salient pointers relevant in handling questions. Instead of resorting to a revision package at the fag end before the exam preparation bell rings, an organized technique would be to read each chapter from the text book, followed by the revision pack- your best pal!
