IB RESULTS: How YOU can get a 7 in IB English A Lit HL

I got a 7 in IB English HL, but it was far from easy. I share my tips on the IOP, IOC, Written Assignment, and how to prepare for the IB English exams. With this advice, you’ll be able to score well in this subject and get 7 points towards your diploma. If you keep my advice in mind and work hard throughout the program, then you’ll have a successful IB English experience :) !

1- edit everything - write, rewrite, grammar, syntax, etc.
2- make detailed notes for each novel (on one thing you know you can talk about and then relate this)
3- nail your ioc and iop & get better at public speaking
4- give in your best written drafts to your teacher for valuable feedback
5- master rhetorical devices
6- focus on author's choice (how the author crafts to make you feel or think)
7- read everything all the way through
8- don't be afraid to a wacky analysis if it's your own or a different idea, you will focus on out of box points and aspects that make your papers interesting (and fun to write)
9- confidence take a leap of faith and be confident in your analyzations.

It was the worst class I ever did. I remember when I did my written assignment my teacher gave me a score of 13/25 and then the examiner gave me 19/25. Every day my teacher would do anything to make it hell for me like trying to accuse me of plagiarism after I took her advice on adapting the concept from great sample essays. She says use the sample essays as a guide and then says what I did was cheating after I did her advice. I was largely screamed at a lot like for getting a question wrong and even personally attacked. I remember I couldn't sleep or eat much because of that class. For everyone here do not do that class you will regret it. Also those tips are useless because I tried all of them to the max and it didn't do much.

Can you make a video about IB math? I’m curious about how it works! And by exam, do you mean a test, or a written assignment graded as a test? I have to decide if I’m going to an IB school or an AP school in the next couple months.
