IB Mock Exams Reflection: Economics is my subject. It is the only subject that I actually want to study for, really understand every aspect, and do well on in test conditions. During my spring break, I actually didn’t study for my other exams because I was reading up on Econ and reviewing hard because 1) it interested me and 2) I had so much motivation to do well. I felt that if I could ace this, I know that the business undergraduate major is for me. The studying had paid off and I had gotten a really good score on the IB Mock. However, for some reason I wasn’t that happy when I got my test back. I really thought that I could do better especially on one of the explain questions. But its good to know, I know exactly what to study/improve on.
Plans for Revision: For all my classes, I laid out a excel spread sheet that tells me what to study on exactly what day for each other those classes. I’ve followed it pretty well and I hope to continue that. For me the OSC revision guide is very helpful and if there is something I don’t understand on it, I would refer to the McGee textbook and read up on it. After every section that I read, the way I revise is I go to the past paper packets and do random questions specific to the topic I’ve learnt. Not only do I refresh my memory but I get into the habit of seeing IB type questions.
Predicted Grade: I don’t want to say out loud my predicted grade, however it is one that I was hoping for at the very beginning of this course. With the mock exam, I am glad that it showed my capabilities with IB HL Economics. With my revision plan, I hope to keep up that predicted grade and that it follow through and through for the IB exams in May.
