I will be writing a series of posts on the subjects I study or studied in the IB. I talk a lot about my school work here, but the majority of you probably don't know what I'm talking about if you are not an IB student. IB is it's own world, a secret world you don't know unless you lived it.
The IB makes students to take subjects from 5 or 6 different groups. These groups are called Language A, Language B, Individuals and societies, Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Arts (or another subject). Then we have Creativity, Activity and Service hours we need to do outside school. Theory of Knowledge (TOK) is a subject about "how do we know what we know". Then there is also the Extended Essay- monster.
Then we need to do internal assessments for the IB in all subjects. The internal assessments are graded my our teachers and then some of our work will be sent to the IB with the grades and they grade our teachers. So all the grades might go up, stay the same or go down by a few points.
At the end of two years we do the final exams. We have for all Standard Level Subjects 2 papers and 3 for Higher Level. All papers are from 45 min to about 3 hours. So the IB has a much harder time limit than the national program in Finland.
In the next posts I'll talk about the different groups and my subjects both here and those that I had in RCN.
