Hi everyone! I'm taking the IB Geography SL/HL course and I'm wondering if you have any study tips or resource recommendations to help me prepare for the exams. What did you guys find most helpful for this subject?
Hey there! Firstly, props to you for taking on IB Geography SL/HL. It can be challenging but also highly rewarding. When it comes to preparing for exams, I've found a combination of resources and study methods is the best approach.
1. Teacher and class materials: Make sure to review your teacher's presentations, notes, and assigned readings. They usually align closely with the exam content.
2. IB textbooks: Invest in a good IB Geography textbook as they're specifically designed to cover all the topics (Core, Optional themes, and HL Extension) required for the exams. Oxford and Cambridge publications are popular choices.
3. Study groups: Collaborate with your classmates to hold discussions or quiz each other on the material. Sharing insights and learning from one another can be quite helpful.
4. Practice papers: Attempt past exam papers and maximize the use of IB question banks. They give you a clear idea of the types of questions asked, time management, and overall exam structure.
5. Online resources: Websites like Geographyalltheway.com, PMT Education, and CollegeVine offer valuable resources for IB Geography. It's especially helpful for catching up on topics you're struggling with.
Good luck with your studies!
