Here are the best tips for your IB exams make-up exams.

1. Organise your subjects.

Your study plan has a maximum of six subjects, so you will need to organise yourself more thoroughly if you have several make-ups to do. Plan the essentials, divide subjects into time blocks and allocate specific days for each. Include short breaks between study sessions to maintain concentration and productivity.

2. Devote the time required for each subject.

Since each has its own challenges, it is crucial that you allocate study time proportionally to the complexity of each subject. For example, subjects such as Mathematics or Science may require more time due to their conceptual depth, while Humanities subjects may need a more focused approach to understanding and critical analysis.

3. Seize the opportunity.

With the IB programme, you have three sittings to pass a subject. Also, don’t forget the big differences compared to the normal baccalaureate. The international system allows you to follow your own learning path, discarding subjects that are not covered in full depth. It is always good to be aware of this and to be ready to take advantage of the opportunities offered.

4. Understand in depth.

You already know the type of exam you are facing. You should know that, rather than memorising, the IB values deep understanding and your ability to apply knowledge in real-life contexts.

5. Collaborate and discuss.

Joining study groups with other students who also have to make up an IB exam can be beneficial. Discussing concepts with peers and explaining topics to others will help you to consolidate your knowledge, understand it and see different perspectives.
