<p>Hi, I’m a junior this year, and I’m currently taking IB. The thing is, I guess I don’t really know what to expect out of the rest of the year. So the other day I’m in the Math class, and my math teacher told us that a ton of us will fail her first exam due to “being new to IB” and “not knowing how answering math goes in IB”. How exactly does it work, and how do I answer them? Thanks!</p>
<p>Okay, I’m a freshman, but my school is crazy about the IB and it’s the only thing teacher ever talk about with us. From what I know, the math is pretty hard on the IB test, but there are odds that are in your favor. Our teacher told us that the first thing to do, is to use pencil on the test. Sounds easy right? But a lot of people each year get tons of point taken away from that part of the exam because they use pens instead. Also, what ever you right on the IB tests is counted. Even if you put a line through your work to show that it’s wrong (you don’t erase on IB tests), the test correctors still count it for your benefit. The most important thing is to SHOW ALL OF YOUR WORK EVEN IF YOU THINK IT’S WRONG!!! If you don’t show your work, and still get the answer right, points will be taken away.</p>
