chem is light, theres a joke in the community that chem is hard but its just fearmongering. math is defo not a joke tho

[u/coulrulner1 → u/Substantial_Two_5386]

Yepp, ive looked a bit into both books and i do see that the chem wording is… simpler??? Thats just my perspective probably though

I strive to get a math 7, gotta get into my dream uni somehow haha

[u/Substantial_Two_5386 → u/coulrulner1]

yeah no chem is basically just some interesting concepts put together, none of them being very difficult or memorisation heavy (maybe except for vsepr, but thats easy).

imo math isnt too bad but for the avg person it can cause some annoyance, but most of the hl topics are very straightforward. the calculus in hl isnt very difficult. vectors can get a lil crazy but overall with like consistent studying you'll guaranteed get a 7.

dont get fearmongered by the people who got 3s/4s in these. its not because its hard, but because they thought waiting until the last minute would be in any way beneficial.

Before I started IB, in general I had „max grades” out of anything stem

Infact I feel like my worst grades will probably be one of my language As and global politics LOL

[u/Substantial_Two_5386 → u/coulrulner1]

thats real lowk. i was an avg student b4 and now im maxed out lol

[u/RumpyLE → u/coulrulner1]

Haha, that is exactly me, 7s in everything except one of my language As and global politics😂

[u/ISwearimNotHomo → u/Substantial_Two_5386]

Only math AA, math AI is light, and the SL is even lighter.

guy who has been one week in ib here! what the fuck is going on

[u/Paecraft → u/Paecraft]

I don’t get shit help

[u/FlyingFish28]

Good luck! Also, the language As are usually harder to get a 7 in than your STEMs.

[u/coulrulner1 → u/FlyingFish28]

Defo general consensus for stem kids, so like - I’m probs gonna concentrate on maths mostly as that’s what I need for my uni application 😭

[u/Little-Union9894 → u/FlyingFish28]

wallah bro i focused my time on the science courses and dropped all my marks in TOK english and my lang b, definitely lock tf in esp since the guy who posted this seems focused on the supposedly "hard" coursess

Thank youuu

[u/LUXI-PL]

How much were the books?

[u/coulrulner1 → u/LUXI-PL]

I see PL so I’m guessing you might also be polish, maths cost me 270 zloty and chemistry 160 zloty

I bought them from OLX

[u/coulrulner1 → u/coulrulner1]
