How to study for IB

<p>I will take the IB calculus and IB physics tests, both SL (my dumb school doesn't offer HL), and my teachers plan out told me that we won't have finished covering everything by test date. I've been studying the AP Physics and Calc book (both princeton review) independently, but I would greatly, appreciate any suggestions you would have on how to score well on the IB tests!!! Thanks a bunch.
Are there any specific IB study books?</p>

<p>yes. they're not availabe in stores, unfortunately, as they're probably more teacher guides. that's all the info I can give you, unfortunately.</p>

<p>but as for how to study .. the most important thing ever is to know what the material is - so make sure to read the ... omg.. what's it called.. <em>blanking</em>... thing where they keep that kind of stuff</p>

<p>second of all, take practice tests, as many of them as possible. then see what you got wrong and look it up. most of the calc stuff will be in any calc book, as it's pretty simple. most of the physics will be in a good textbook.</p>

<p>chem...is the word syllabus?</p>

<p>Actually there are books out there. The best book by far for physics is Physics</a> for the IB Diploma. There's similar books for chemistry and biology. </p>

<p>The best way to study is to take old tests. Don't stress out too much, though, SL exams don't count for much.</p>

<p>If your school doesn't have past papers, there are websites that do. Some of the sites I found useful were:

...etc.</p>

<p>I agree wth taking past tests...they help.</p>

<p>Still, I didn't know there were guides for the IB exams...0_0</p>
