IB panic...HELP!

<p>hi guys! I just started my junior year in high school and am in IB diploma...unfortunately I'm already getting overwhelmed :( I'm taking IBHL biology, IBHL chemistry, IBHL english, IBSL math, IBSL mandarin, and IBSL history; does anyone have any suggestions towards how to cope with all this stuff and still keep up extracurriculars? I'm especially freaking out over hl english since I just got my first essay back and I got a 4...HOW?! anyway I'd really appreciate some advice since I'm aiming for a 7...or definitely at least a 6...in all of my exams! thanks soooo much!</p>

<p>Please move this post to the IB forum or the High School Life forum, as this forum is only for “chance me” threads.</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>
