🤫 Are you sure you can secure a 7 in IB Biology?
IB Biology is a highly demanding subject, covering a wide range of topics in considerable depth. It is often required and always recommended for students pursuing studies in medical and biological research fields, and the same skills which facilitate success in biology transfer to these careers. High scores in exams and assignments require effective planning, strategies, and resources. Although the subject can be a considerable challenge, our resident biology expert, J Barlow, is here to share the knowledge and experience he has gained in over a decade of research and education.

Topics to be covered:
🧬 An overview of IB Biology, including its recent syllabus and assessment changes
🧬 Bridging the gap from pre-IB to IB (i.e. GCSE/IGCSE/MYP are surprisingly unhelpful!)
🧬 The differences between SL and HL, and how to choose between them
🧬 How to study a content-rich subject like biology (hint: it’s not just memorization!)
🧬 Sample exam questions and strategies (the mark scheme is more complicated than you think)
🧬 Internal assessment (IAs) strategies and pitfalls
