SO, I just took Math SL Paper 1 and OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS! That was absolutely ridiculous. I've talked to another IB school the next town over and everyone is sure that they got at MOST a 1! I'm so frustrated right now, I don't know if I should scream or cry. Which math do you take?

LOOOL. I know EXACTLY how you feel. I practically BOMBED that freaking exam. I couldn`t get past most of the exam. I think I completely bs`d the rest of the exam.. I didn`t even know how to start some #.
It was 20 minutes in, and I was like...... I still have an hour and 10 minutes left and I have NO idea how to do this crap. I take Math SL, same as you. Everyone in my class was horrified when we came out of the exam.
And I thought it was already bad enough that I didn`t get a break after the AP English Literature and Composition exam to eat my freaking lunch. =_= I actually had to leave the Lit exam 10 minutes early (because I was finished already) just to get back in time to start the Math SL...

I don't think we can um...discuss the actual test for another 24 hours but I doubt IBO will come looking at soompi, haha. Just to be on the safe side though. =) That SUCKS so bad that you had it back to back like that! Man, you couldn't even scarf down a granola bar in between? Haha. I was kind of late for my English exam bc I wanted to get breakfast and I was seriously chewing on my breakfast sandwich while walking into the exam room. The adults gave me the dirtiest look but nothing comes between me and my breakfast, lol.

But, noo. I didn`t have any time to even eat anything. It was walking back from the church (basement where we were taking the AP Lit because there were too many people to fit in 1 room in the school :P) and then heading straight to the library to begin Math SL 1. ]:
Food + human = <3 LOL [:

I'm Linda, btw, and my HLs are history of the americas, english, and psychology. My SLs are math, biology, and spanish.
This week has been HELL for me. I have nine exams in one week. Next week I only have English, which is my best subject and then four days off! Yay! Then I have spanish and psychology. I'm sooo tired already, hahaha.

@theatre: tell the truth, are you a math genius/genetically predisposed to be good at math?

We just finished Paper 2 for Math SL. I think it was decent.. Lol. Better than Paper 1, at least.
The first week is hell. ]: The second and third week are okay. I have two days of no exams next week.

I'm only doing certificates for history, math, bio, and english. so no language or IB elective exams for me! haha probably the best decision I ever made.
good luck with the rest of your exams!
Oh, ok, that makes sense, haha. All the IB kids I know go for the diploma, so I forget that there's the option to not seek the whole shibang. =D Have fun with your final exam!

Really? I heard from the Math SL students from my school said that it was "easy" o__o
Totally different opinions between yours and theirs, huuh.
Other than that, did anyone here take Math HL? The test was ridiculously whacked. Our school had never even covered 20% of the stuff on that test.
