Upcoming Semester Finals: How to Prepare!

 

From the 27th of November 2022, there will be semester finals for IBDP in AusIS. This will be challenging for the students. This will be the first semester final in DP 1 so it will definitely be a new experience for the students of Year 11. This examination is not to be taken lightly, it is crucial for our university applications. Thankfully there are ways to increase our chances of scoring successfully.


Revision: This is a pretty straightforward and obvious response, but it is the most effective. This exam will cover 3 months worth of information and there is no way anyone remembered all that. It should be a priority to go over the topics from each subject. 


Revision can be done in many different ways, the most effective approach instead of just reading old notes and cramming all that, take new notes. This time we won't have the rush of following the lecture and taking notes. This way we can take important notes and know what to focus on. 


Past Papers: As we were informed, the exam questions will be formatted in the same way it is with final IB Exams. IB exam questions are not straightforward, there is a lot of thought needed to be put into them. Going over the past papers will help us become more familiarized with the type of questions that will come.

Mark Scheme and Command Terms: IB has a certain type of way they want answers and it is not something people understand easily. To be ready for this it is important to go over the specific mark scheme for each topic and the command terms. The command terms are a strong indicator of what to focus on in a question so making sure we are knowledgeable on that is very important.


These are the strategies for preparation, there will still need to be a lot of work and effort for the next 2 weeks. Say your goodbyes to sleep and good luck!
