Effective Revision Strategies for IB Biology and Mathematics

Getting ready for International Baccalaureate (IB) exams can be exciting but also overwhelming. IB Biology and Mathematics are known to be tough but crucial subjects. The IB curriculum is well known for its comprehensive education approach, focusing on both depth of knowledge and interdisciplinary connections. This philosophy also carries over to the revision process, as students are challenged to do more than just memorize facts and formulas. They are also required to synthesize information, apply concepts to real-world situations, and improve their problem-solving abilities.

As the exams draw near, students can feel overwhelmed by the amount of material and complex problem-solving methods. In this blog post, we will discuss effective strategies designed for IB Biology and Mathematics Revision. Nonetheless, by approaching revision the right way, mastering these subjects can become easier and even fun.

IB Biology Revision-

Begin by categorizing your notes in a structured manner, grouping them by subject or category. Incorporate color-coded systems, visual aids, and memory tricks to enhance the retention of difficult ideas.

Condense important information for each topic to facilitate faster study sessions.

Review Previous Exams: Regularly practice past exams to get comfortable with the test layout and question styles.

Study your errors to pinpoint improvement areas and concentrate your review efforts there. -Challenge yourself by timing your practice to mimic real exam conditions and enhance your time management abilities

Use Interactive Resources:

Utilize online tools like interactive quizzes, animations, and educational videos to enhance your comprehension.

Engage with classmates for group study sessions or participate in online forums to chat about difficult subjects and exchange study advice.

IB Maths Revision-

Make sure to grasp the fundamental principles and ideas in each subject instead of just memorizing formulas.

Divide difficult problems into smaller, more manageable steps and work on solving them in an organized way.

Collaborate with Peers:

Work with your peers in study groups to collaborate on problem-solving and exchange ideas on various strategies for tackling math problems.

Explaining concepts to others can enhance your understanding and strengthen your grasp of the material.

Create Revision Summaries:

Create short summaries or cheat sheets for each topic to help with quick review sessions.

Make sure to go over these summaries frequently to strengthen memory recall and ensure you are familiar with important formulas and concepts.

IB Biology and Mathematics Revision involves organizing, practicing regularly, understanding the key concepts, and working with others. By consistently applying these methods, you can improve your chances of excelling in the IB exams and feel more confident in your knowledge of these complex subjects. Staying motivated and persistent is crucial, so maintain your focus and continue striving towards your academic objectives. Best of luck with your studies!

Hi! I'm a long time fan, and I wanted to send this to you (partly for luck!). I have my last philosophy exam tomorrow. Well, my last two, but same difference. I do the IB program, so it's a pretty big deal! How well I do tomorrow might effect if I get into my first choice university program. I'm rewatching your video on effective altruism (I'll probably watch it twice), partly for luck, and partly because it's such good revision. You're the reason I chose to take philosophy, so I feel like its pretty fitting that you're what will see me through my exams. In general your videos have done a lot for me, so thank you for this last bit of help!

Heyyyyy, good luck!

omg hi!!! I'm a year 1 ib student rn and i just saw that you're doing ib math aa - do you have any tips on which revision resources to do / how to think of a good IA topic?? if you do, I would be super grateful thank you so much!! <3 - @studyingscribbles

my main piece of advice for revising ib math aa would be to use practice sites like revision dojo and revision village, or to practice with past papers, since practicing exam-style questions is probably the best way to revise when it comes to this subject. revision dojo in particular is really useful (and free!) and has additional resources if you need help understanding any concepts. also, you might find openstax helpful (for any subject really, not just math) if you need a more in-depth explanation of a concept!

as for ia topics, i might not be the most helpful since i struggled with this myself, but i would say try to find something that has to do with an interest of yours that you can link back to a concept in the syllabus. that's the method my teacher recommended and it helped me out. also, you could try looking through some IAs on clastify to spark some inspiration!

@studyingscribbles and anyone else reading, i hope these tips help! ♡

right so my bio class has been doing an ecology unit for over 2 months but like. my teacher has not taught us anything that's actually IN the syllabus and therefore on my THURSDAY exam and guys. guys i am fucked. he just talks about random case studies which are interesting but teach us nothing. i have been so busy + sick that i haven't been able to consistently study using the syllabus textbook so i don't know if i just keep trying to learn everything this week or if i spend my energy on the few things we did cover?? keeping in mind that ib questions sound so difficult and unrelated for no reason + i have to revise literally everything else i've learnt this year in both bio hl and history hl + math ai sl but i prolly won't do much for the math

Hi. I also study international baccalaureate and I'm in MYP5. I want to study spanish in DP but I'm a bit scared because it's the first time that we do spanish in DP In our school (no senior to give us advide). Can you give me a description of the program and some advices.

Thanks <3

hello! i do have to warn you that each school will approach teaching differently,, so some of my descriptions may not end up applying but i will do my best.

the course is structured into five themes: identities, experiences, human ingenuity, social organisation and sharing the planet.

exams typically have individual speaking, listening and grammar (writing) tests.

of course, difficulty depends on the person taking the subject and their ability to comprehend. spanish is a pretty easy language in general, though. (or at least compared to the french and mandarin my school offers).

the best part about the ib curriculum for spanish is being able to enrich yourself in the culture. this one may seem obvious but i never expected that my class would get to make and eat spanish cusine so often. i also have the opportunity for homestay next year.

like all ib subjects, spanish is fast-paced and you learn a lot of content fast. to understand and remember vocab well, studying/revision should happen every day, and for at least 1/2 an hour.

i hope this helps!

❤️ nene

Hey! I'm about to start my medical college journey & am a little confused about the books to read in the first year. Could you please help me? I looked thru your blog & it seems like at your uni they follow a pattern and timeline similar to the Indian medical system, so I thought I'd pop by & ask you for some advice :)

PS: Love your blog, really inspirational!! 🩵 I'm a ex-French learner myself & your posts really inspire me to restart.

Hey, first of all, congratulations and welcome to the Fraternity!

As for the books:

Anatomy

General anatomy : get the bdc or vishram singh general anatomy pdf or get the book from library once you are in college and give a read to important topics and go through the terminologies. You can read general anatomy now, before you go to college or during your foundation course classes

Gross anatomy : The preferred book by students is BDC but i read vishram singh. It has very easy to remember diagrams and things are given in points, i suppose you will feel easier to understand and remember. May be, you can go to a store and see both books and decide (goes for all the books, I'll write here about my personal experience only)

Embryology : Get a langman from senior or if it is okay, buy it too. It's an international book but quite good. You don't have to go through everything but the important topics. Vishram singh embryology is also nice. I got to know about it just few days before exam but it was nice. And please don't neglect embryology. Your friends and seniors will say that it doesn't matter, it does. I suppose i could have got distinction in anatomy if only i had read embryo properly since in paper 1, i couldn't write one answer at all. (Like distinction is not everything, it's just kind of an achievement that can boost you?)

Histology : we read IB singh and mostly, our class notes.

Osteology : Again, class notes. But i guess, poddar is being followed here. I had the pdf. So, see if your college has good teacher who teaches you well, take notes of the bones and revise them. Well, vishram singh gross books also have bone sections and its quite nice.

Physiology

Guyton is the best book. If it is possible for you, get that book either from a senior or from a store. Seniors will tell you otherwise most of the time unless you are in AIIMS or the top colleges. Don't listen to them. I regret not studying standard books, they are gem. But you have to start from initial days and again, make notes of important topics. For exam purpose, you can read your notes and Sembulingam. Thats a nice book. You can keep a pdf. We used AK jain too. But in case you are reading Guyton, making notes and using Sembu, you don't need it. And get the AK jain practical book.

Biochemistry

The standard books are Lippincott and Harper. They are review books. Other than that we followed Satyanarayan or Vasudevan. Satyanarayan is better for exams i feel. Since its like a note. You can keep one of them as physical book and other as pdf. Keep whatever pdf you get actually. And as you proceed, you will get to know about more study materials like Jambulkar. That's nice note but use that as a revision tool.

In our college, for practical in biochemistry, we real our practical copies only. So, i have no idea what other colleges follow for practical

Do join telegram channels, you will get whatever pdf you need and important topics. I will suggest you to read every topic but make notes or proper annotation of important topics and of course, revision of them.

That's all i can remember now. Its not like you need to buy all the books right now itself. See those books in library or get the pdfs and go through random topics and whatever you feel nice, you can buy it. And as i said, keep all pdfs. Mbbs is not like preparing for neet. There will be topics easier to understand or easier to present in exam in different book than yours. But you cannot buy all books so pdf works. And do feel free to ask whatever doubt you have!

PS : This means a lot, thank you! And you can definitely restart your language lessons too.

Obligatory Intro Post

Welcome! Glad to have you here:)

Who am I?

Name: Call me North on this blog, even if you know my real name haha. Flash is also fine! that’s generally what I go by online Main blog: @clockwork-windmills Pronouns: they/them -- in fact, here's my pronouns page! Where I'm from: England

What tags do you use here?

#further from maths master tag

#further from feelings not-studying stuff

#further from my blog reblogs

#[number] days until how many days away the end of the IB was on the day I posted

#haha goal post goals!

Subject specific tags listed below

What do you study?

I study the International Baccalaureate, and I'm currently in my second and final year! The sidebar of my blog has an up-to-date countdown until my last exam is over:) My subjects are:

#ib psychology HL

#ib global politics HL

#ib english language and literature HL

#ib computer science SL

#ib maths analysis and approaches SL

#ib german ab initio SL

What are your goals?

I have pretty high predicted grades -- currently chilling at a very crazy 43 -- so my main goal is to meet those if I can! My priority is English, because I need a 6 in HL English LangLit to get into the uni course I want. An unconditional would be insanely cool, but even a conditional with sliiightly lower English grade would be fantastic.

What are your plans after you finish the IB?

University, baby! I want to study creative writing. I'm not applying to Oxbridge because I don't want to lol, but with a pretty hefty predicted grade set, I have quite a lot of other options:) I've got a few more open day visits to go through, but right now I'm very interested in Warwick!

It's possible I'll do a law/teaching postgrad, but I'm pretty sure I want to work in publishing after uni.

What do you post about?

I (plan to) post:

typical studyblr content

screaming into the void that is tumblr, because the IB is the hardest thing I will do in my life

revision explanations

how uni prep is going

monthly goal updates

I'll update this as I get back into the swing of things.

What do you do outside of schoolwork?

Writing, funnily enough. I used to do theatre, but I had to sacrifice it to the IB gods for more hours in the day:') I also have a bunch of silly interests I reblog stuff about over on my main blog!

im so done for exam season dude specially maths. im dead. buried. rotting in the ground being eaten by maggots. why is my biology revision guide already half a cm thick. im doing the ib man these are two year courses this is only half the material......... and all the stuff i have to learn for maths as well. and for history. and i have my english io on friday. i'm so dead

[rooniper]

Completely off topic for the stuff I usually post about or reblog but I just wanted to get this off my chest: IB finals schedules are such utter and complete garbage. You will not even believe. I’m out here revising three subjects at once because the Overlords have decided I’m gonna have three finals that also overlap with one another in three days. I am writing this while my laptop sits upon five books for two seperate subjects. This is the first time I’ve regained consciousness today after spending most of it completely submerged in History and I am only now realizing I had an exam that I in fact did take in the morning because it feels like it was four days ago. I don’t think I’ve replied to most of my messages in a week. While I logically know this is not the program’s fault and only a result of my own folly, thinking I could do 4 HL subjects at once, this will not stop me from whining. On the contrary, I will whine even more. Putting History and Math this close together should be illegal. It should be a warcrime. I am but a measly overdramatic tick crushed underneath the fist of my own decisions and the only thing keeping me together now is the meagre image of dark academia I have managed to maintain and my gay-ass outfits that I show up to exams in.
